Trying To Love Again (A Diggy Simmons And Yn Fanfic)

Will Things Ever Get Better?

Taylor's POV

I was with Nate. We we're at his house just watching movies and hanging out. I loved being with him. He made me so happy. I'm glad I made him my first.

"Bae, I'm borrrrred" I whined to him.

He started chuckling. "What do you want to do then?" he said biting his lip.

"Calm your hormones." I started giggling at him. "I still want to chill, but I don't want to watch these boring ass movies." I said this while throwing popcorn at him.

"Hahahahaha. Iight, what do you want to do then, BRAT?" he said.

I playfully gasped, pretending to be offended. "I am NOT a brat!" I threw a pillow at him. He caught it and threw it back.

"You want to play some board games?" he asked.

I started laughing. "Sure. Let's plaaaaayyyyy... Twister! I used to love that game! Do you have it?"

He nodded and went into the closet and got the game out.

I started setting up. "Okay, ready to get beat?" I asked once the game was set up and ready to go.

He chuckled. "Naw, I think it should be you who should be preparing to lose. I got this." he said that in his George Lopez voice.

I started laughing. "Naw, I think I'm good. I used to be in gymnastics and cheerleading with Yn and Minnie, remember?"

His face froze. He must've forgotten. i laughed at his face.

"I think I'll spin first since you're having a moment."

I spun first and the rest was history. We had a great time. Especially me, since I continuously won each game we played. 😁

Yn's POV


I had been shopping with Minnie all day. When I got back to Taylor's house, I heard Taylor's dad arguing with a man with a very familiar voice. As I listened closely, I rolled my eyes. I immediately knew who it was. I shook my head and walked inside.

I came in and folded my arms. "Mike, what are you doing here?"

"Do you know this man?" Taylor's mom asked me.

I nodded my head. "Yes, this is my dad."

"Yn, I know you have every reason to not want to forgive me. But please, just think about it."

I shook my head. "No! You've already missed sixteen years of my life. I don't need you."

He looked stunned. "Yn, please." He started to get on his hands and knees and begged. "I just want to be there for you. In two years, you'll be eighteen. By then, it'll be completely too are. All I want is to be able to get those last two years with you. That's it, that's all."

I looked at him curiously to see if he was being genuine about it. It looked like he was serious. I didn't say anything.

"Please, Yn. Just give it a chance."

I hesitated before finally nodding my head. He smiled from ear to ear & embraced me. We started chatting about everything that had been happening recently. I took a picture of us, framed it, and then put it on my bedroom dressed. I think things are finally starting to look up for me.

Diggy's POV

I haven't heard from my dad since we had gotten into the fight the day he had hit my mom again. I spend lots of time with my mom. I take her shopping, I cook, clean, and everything else that she used to do for me. Now she was asleep. I was about to go watch tv when I got a call from Yn.

"Hey, beautiful" I answered with a smile.

"Hey, baby. What you up to?" she asked.

"Nothing much, I was about to watch tv but then I got a call from the most beautiful girl in the world" I said licking my lips.

"Awwwwwww. Baby, that's so sweet. Do you want to hang out today? Ot are you busy?"

"Naw, I'm not busy. Where do you want to go?" I asked her.

"Umm, let's go get something to eat. I'm starving."

"Okay" I said. "Everything's on me."

"Nooooo. Daniel, you've spent more than enough money on me. Save the money to help take care of you and your mom. Speaking of her, how has he been?"

I almost forgot I told her about what happened the day my dad had left after I beat his ass. "She's good. She's asleep now."

"When can I meet her?" she asked. Yn always asks about meeting my mom.

"Ummm.. after we eat. Where do you want to go?"

"Hmmmm. Let's go to TGI Fridays. It's been a while since I've been there. What do you think?"she asked.

It was 7:00, so we still had time to go since it wasn't too late. It's not like we had curfews anyways. "It sounds perfect. Be ready in fifteen minutes."

"Okay, baby. I love you" she said.

"Love you, too" I said with a smile.

"Okay bye bye."

"Bye."

I wrote a note to my mom telling her I would be with Yn. I told her to call if there were any problems or emergencies. I made sure I locked the doors before leaving the house. Taylor's house, where Yn lives now, was at least 5 minutes away so I just waited a few extra minutes in the car before actually pulling off.

When I got to Taylor's house, I honked the horn. A few seconds later, Yn came out. She had on a white top that said "TAKEN" in bold letters and blue jeans. She had her long hair in a bun. She looked stunning, as usual.

When she got in, I immediately smelled her perfume. She smelled just as good as she looked. She smiled and said "Hey Daniel."

"Hey, bae. You ready?"

She nodded and I pulled off. It took at least fifteen minutes before we actually got to TGI Fridays. I ordered steak and she ordered Cajun pasta. We were both laughing and having a good time the whole entire time we were there. We paid everything once we were done and left.

In the car again, Yn asked the same question she did earlier. "So, can I meet your mom today?"

I sighed and shrugged.

I guess this had made her upset because she just shook her head. "Wow. We've been together for five months and I haven't even met your mom yet? And whenever I ask, you just shrug off the subject. That really pissed me off, Daniel."

"Yn, please don't start. We just had a nice time together. Don't ruin by trying to start a argument."

"What are you trying to hide? Why won't you just let me meet her? Are you hiding something? Is there something you aren't telling me?" She then looked down. "Are you ashamed of me?" she asked, her head still down and her voice a little bit over a whisper.

"Of course not, Yn. I love you, and you know that."

"Then show me by letting me meet your mom."

I sighed. "Okay, babe."

Once we pulled up to my house, the door was open. What? That's strange. I remember closing and locking the door before picking up Yn. So why is the door open?

Yn and I quickly hopped out of the car and ran inside he house. The furniture was all over the place and there was glass everywhere. It reminded me of the day I had met Yn and when I came back, my mom and dad were arguing. Then everything clicked.

Dad.

"Check everything down here while I check everything upstairs" I told Yn.

She looked confused but she just nodded.

I ran upstairs and into my mom's room. She wasn't there. The family picture that we had taken a year before that was hanging on the wall was shattered into a million pieces. The note that I had written to my mom was torn up.

I ran into my room. Everything looked normal. I looked at a photo of my dad and I and shook my head. I can't believe we were ever happy.

I was about to go check the other rooms upstairs when a scream had caught my attention. It was Yn. I ran back downstairs and saw Yn sitting in the corner with her hands over her face crying.

"Yn. What's wrong? What happened?" I asked.

She just shook her head and pointed to the basement door. She cried even harder. I opened it up even more and saw my mom laying there. She looked like she was still breathing, but she had a bloody head that looked like it was bashed in.

"Mom! Mom!" I yelled running down the stairs to see her. She moved a little bit, but that was it.

I then heard Yn on the phone. "Yes, 911. There's an emergency. We also need an ambulance! Come quickly! My boyfriend's house was broken in to and his mom.... Please, just, come quick!" I then heard we give them the address to my house.

Not too long after the call, I heard police and ambulance cars. Two policemen came in and started questioning Yn and I. They took me upstairs while they kept Yn downstairs because she refused to move. This whole thing had really shocked her.

When I went upstairs, I realized the policeman that was about to interrogate me now was the same one that interrogated me the day of the fight.

He looked up and I guess he relived the same thing. "Aw man! I thought that I had seen the last of you a few weeks ago!"

I glared at him. "This isn't about me. This is about my mother."

He nodded. "What's your mom's name."

"Justine Simmons."

"What seems to have happened?"

"I went out with my girlfriend, Yn. You know, the same girl I had fought for. When I left to take to Yn out to dinner, she was in her room asleep. Yn wanted to meet my mom, so I took her here so they could finally meet. When I came back, the place was like this. I ran upstairs and went to see if my mom was okay. She wasn't even in her room. When I left to take Yn out for dinner, she was in her room asleep. I heard Yn scream and ran downstairs, she was in the corner crying. She pointed to the basement door and when it took a look inside, my mom was laying there with her head bashed in and blood all over the place. That's when Yn called you guys."

"Do you know anyone you think would do something like this?"

I nodded. "My dad, Reverend Run Simmons. He had hit my mom twice before. One time he even did it when my friends were around. Plus, there is a family picture with my mom, dad, and I. It was hanging in my mom's room. Now it's smashed into a million pieces."

He nodded while writing everything down. Then his walkie talkie went off. I heard the people on the other end say they had my mom in the ambulance and was ready to take her to the hospital.

I rode with them. Yn was going to go but decided to stay behind. It was cool. I know she didn't feel right about seeing all of this. I also knew that she knew that at a time like this, I want to be left alone.

Yn's POV

I had no other choice but to walk back home. When I got there, Taylor asked me a million questions about what happened. I didn't feel like answering any of them.

"Just call Minnie and tell her to watch the news tomorrow. You watch too. Goodnight." And with that, I went to bed.

The next day, my dad had picked me up. We had been hanging together everyday since he came back.

I got in the car. "Hey, dad." I said to him. I was wondering why he hadn't pulled off already, but I just ignored it. Maybe we were just going to talk and then go somewhere?

"Hey, Yn. How have you been?"

I sighed. "I can't say I feel great, but I've been okay for the most part."

He nodded. I could tell he was hiding something. "Anything you want to talk about?"

I shook my head. "No. What about you? You look worried."

He looked down. "Well... er... ummmm..." he stuttered.

"Huh?"

"Yn, there's no easy way to say this."

Uh-oh, this can't be good, I thought to myself.

"Yn, I'm leaving Chicago for a while."

"Really? That's great! For how long?" I asked him.

He looked down. "Forever. I'm never coming back."

I nodded. "So, when should I get my bags packed?"

He looked confused. "Yn, I just said I'm never coming back."

"But you didn't just come back into my life for no reason. You're obviously telling me this so I can come with you. You only thought the hard thing was for me to adjust without all of my friends. But I'll be okay dad." I smiled at the thought of leaving Chicago for good.

"Yn, you're not coming with me. I said 'Im' leaving, not 'We're' leaving. I'm sorry."

My smile quickly faded. "You know what? Don't tell me you're sorry. Because all I've heard my life is sorry, sorry, sorry. I don't need your apology, because I already know you don't mean it. You're just a selfish old bastard!" I said as I got out of the car, slammed the door as hard as I could, and ran back into the house.

I ran into the house, slammed the door, and started crying. I slid my back down the wall and cried my eyes out. Mr. and Mrs. James, AKA Taylor's parents, along with Taylor, came over when they saw crying.

"Yn, what's the matter?" Mrs. James asked me.

"Yn, come on girl, tell us what's up" Taylor urged.

"My dad...... he doesn't want me. He never wanted me! He's a selfish bastard. And now, he's leaving Chicago for good.... without me. I thought he had changed! I thought..... he loved me" I said I between sobs.

Mr. James shook his head. "Yn, it will be okay. Everything will be fine."

I nodded my head and ran upstairs. They all followed me. I picked up the picture that was framed of my father and I, and I threw it as hard as I could. Glass shattered everywhere. Taylor and her family had to duck to make sure they weren't hit by the flying picture frame. I was going to pick up more stuff to throw but Taylor and her parents held me down. I felt like I was going crazy. I just sat there, still being held back, and cried. That's all I could do at this point.
