Over the next couple of weeks, my last weeks in Arizona, I spent with my friends. We went swimming, bowling, went to the movies, and just hung out. It was a Tuesday of my last week. And I was at Alex's house chillin'. She had been talking to this guy Jonathan for a while and she was crazy for him. He texted her asking to kick it and since Alex's parents wouldn't be home for a couple of days she invited him over. He said he was gonna bring a friend for me so that I wouldn't feel left out. I was down, but only for Alex.

Alex threw on a cute PINK sweat suit & I put on a cute Hollister one. Cute but comfy. Swooped my hair up into a pony tail and was good to go. I sprayed my favorite Abercrombie perfume on, and took one last spin in the mirror.

The door rang and Alex ran to get it. I walked into the kitchen to get us some sodas. When I walked into the living room first thing I saw was Alex biting down on her lip, like she was nervous? I looked at her and frowned my eyebrows with confusion..and then my heart fell to my ass. Erik was standing right next to Johnny.

I mouthed to Alex "what the fuck". She looked at me and shrugged the fuck out of her shoulders. So this must've been a shock to her also. Erik looked at me, not knowing what to say I guess. But some words slipped out.

"Hey Jay." He said.

I waved and shot him a fake ass smile. This was gonna be one long ass night.

We all sat down and got comfortable on the couch. The boys brought a whole bunch of snacks and we threw down on em. Me and Alex even shared an edible. Shit I needed like 3 to get me through the night! ...I wondered what was going through Erik's mind. I wanted so bad to ask him why he left but I figured that would be better left unsaid. I felt him glance over to me a few times. But I ignored it. I missed him but fuck him. There was an elephant in the room. Alex turned on some dumb scary movie. Nobody was into it and that was obvious. I was on my phone going down my tumblr feed and Erik was siting across the room doing something in his phone. Alex and Johnny were all cuddled up. I snuck a picture of them, they were soooo cute together

About 30 minutes later they were kissing and before I knew it they walked up into her room. "Fucking bitch" I thought to myself.

I looked up at Erik. He was looking cute as hell. He had on some cut off grey polo sweats, a red addidas jacket and some red addidas. He had on his polo socks. He threw that shit together i was guessing.. he threw that shit together well. I smelled that polo calogne across the room and got butterflies. Erik looked so fine i was ready to jump on his ass. He was 5'11 and slim. He was lightskin with a taper and curls. He had 2 slits in his left eyebrow and his earings were blinging. He had on a gold rope chain and a rolex watch. Damn...why did he have to be so cute? Whatever he was doing on that iPhone 5s he was super into it. I found myself watching him. He looked up and smirked.

"Whats up?" he asked, chuckling.

"You tell me." I blurted out with a flirty smile. what the fuck was i doing?!

He walk over and sat next to me. "Ole girl from yo school aint gonna be mad you over here with some females?" I asked. It slipped out, without my consent. I was shocked at myself to be honest.

He smacked his lips and gave me a "the fuck?" look.

I laughed. I loved that look. There was something about this nigga. I wanted to be a bitch to him but i just couldn't. This guy had me under a spell or something. Cause as much as I wanted to hate him, I didnt. As much as i wanted to go off on him and cuss him the hell out, i couldn't. WHAT WAS SO GREAT ABOUT HIM? Me and him used to be like best friends when we were dating. We were so close and had so much fun togther. I thought we'd never end...what happened with us?

He looked at me and smiled. His smile was so amazing. I smiled back. I wanted to kiss him so bad. But I refused to kiss the mothafucka that broke my heart.

"Aye Jay, i want to apologize." ....my heart stopped, but I nodded. "That shit with Naomi was way out of line. Im so sorry for all of that. I really fucked up girl. You ain't tryna hear what im saying, and I get it. But I do owe you an apology." Again, i just nodded. I didn't know what to say? It all caught me by suprise.

"How you been?" he asked changing the subject.

"Good, how about yourself?"

"Shit, stressed the hell out."

"Wassup with you?" I asked, my curiosity getting the best of me.

"Naomi got me into some bullshit, man!" He said. His whole mood changed.

I sat there quiet. I wanted to know what he was talking about but I didnt want to ask. Was it even my place? I mean he brought it up anyways.

"What happened...if you dont mind me asking" I asked.

"I want to tell you but I-I just... I dont know..." he said in a low voice.

"You can tell me anything Erik and you KNOW that!" I reassured.

It took him a few moments, he hesitated but then he began to talk. "Man fuck that bitch! So one day she text my phone saying she need to talk or whatever so we meet at her house to talk. She starts crying and panicking talking about she pregnant with my son and she dont know what to do and blah blah blah. My whole world crashed down. Im thinking like, hold up im 17 what the fuck ima do with a child? So i just calm her down and tell her I'm here or whatever. But in the back of my mind im thinking about me and you...this was what ...8-9 months ago, so we was together." My heart sank a little. A kid? he continued on..."I didn't know what i was going to tell you. I aint know how you was gonna take it so I decided to just keep it from you. Me and Naomi wasnt exactly datin but I was with her a lil bit too much. So she got the idea. I stopped talking to you cause i aint know what the fuck to tell you? And Naomi was carrying my child so I was gone end up with her stuck in my life anyways. So a couple months later, she loses the baby. Cause her DUMBASS dont know how to stop fucking smoking while she carrying my child. I aint never hated someone so much in my life!" He exclaimed. I seen the hate in his eyes, and i felt for him. This whole situation was fucked up.

I just looked at him and all i could say was "I'm sooooo sorry Erik." It's funny how I was the one apologizing for his fuck up in the first place.

I got on my knees on the couch and wrapped my arms around his neck and we just sat there. He barely hugged me back. I knew he was hurt. I let go of him and locked eyes. And he gave me a look...the same look he used to give me right before he kissed me.. my heart melted.
