What Is Love?

Chapter 8

Everybody say they'll ride with ya.
But the key is to find someone who would walk with you.

~Trey P.O.V~
I know y'all hate me but I really don't give 2 fucks. I'm trying to get Nia before that nigga Lucas try to get her. I know just the right thing to do. I'm not crazy in just looking out for a friend and that friend just happens to be Nia.

~Nia P.O.V~

It was now Friday and I decided not to go to school today. Ever since that night Trey ask me out on that date I been thinking about it every since. So I told Trey that I would go on the date with them. Me and Lucas have been getting closer but we're only friends. I kind of want to take things to the next level with him but we're just taking things slow. I know y'all like then why you going on a date with Trey? Me and Trey is just friends nothing more I don't see him like that no more.

I went over Erica house and she helped me with my hair and something to wear because she had good style. I wasn't trying to go all out because it was just a date like as friends. I took a shower while Erica was picking my clothes out. When I got out she had my clothes out. I put them on and she did my hair.

"Yass you looking fly like always you know we gotta snap it up" Erica said.

We went outside of her house and she grabbed my phone and took pictures of me.

NiaBaby: Diamond in the rough she tough i cannot get enough. 😍😏❤️

That was my caption people started to like and comment. Trey had texted me and said he was on his way. I told him I was at Erica house and gave him the address. 20 minutes later he pulled up. Me and Erica walked out to his car.

"If you mess with my Bestfriend or anything just know I will kill your ass" she told Trey pulling out her pink diamond gun my brother gave her.

"Ok I gotcha" Trey said.

He opened the door for me and I said my goodbye's to Nia and he pulled off.

"So where we going?" I asked.

"You will see" he said.

The whole car ride was silent other than the small talk me and Trey had. He pulled up to this restaurant that said "intheback" (note:I be making some of these restaurants and places up)

The waitress took us to the table he had reserved. The restaurant was very big and crowded it's crazy because I never heard of it before.

"I'm Emily and I will be welcoming y'all to "intheback" today what can I get you guys to drink?" The waitress said smiling.

"Pink lemonade" I said.

"Sprite" said Trey.

Emily walked off to go get our drinks. It was silence for a minute at the table I guess we didn't know what to say to each other. Emily brought back our drinks and asked what we wanted to eat. Me and Trey both got the steaks and loaded potatoes. 15 minutes later Emily brought back the food. Still nothing has been said between me and Trey. The whole time he was texting someone on his phone.

"Um Trey your food has been here for five mins and you haven't even notice that it was here because you been into your phone. When you asked to take me out i didn't know we wasn't gonna talk" I said.

"My bad I was waiting until the food came" he said starting to eat his food.

"So you with Lucas now , huh?" He continued.

" We are just friends right now. Why?" I said.

"Because I was just asking.. you do know you shouldn't be with nobody like him" he said almost making me choke on my steak.

"There is nothing wrong with Lucas and we are just friends. Why do you have so much hate towards him?" I asked feeling annoyed.

"I just feel the type of people he be around you shouldn't be around"

"If I shouldn't be around him my brother wouldn't let me. But my brother trust Lucas enough to let him be around me. Plus Lucas care about me and he's nice so you need to stop acting like a little baby and suck it up. Stop being jealous Trey because that's gonna get you no where. I don't even wanna stay here I'll catch a uber home. Goodbye have nice dinner with your self. You know I really thought you was a nice person but I guess you proved me wrong. I really liked you at first Trey but now you really showed your true colors" I said angrily and getting up and walking away.

I walked to the bathroom and called me an uber. The uber came in less than 5 minutes and I got in and went to Erica house. When I went to her door I busted out crying. She pulled me in and closed the door.

"Bestfriend what's wrong? Let me go get my fucking gun! NIGGA GOT BOTH-

"Erica why Df is you yelling? My brother said interrupting Erica. Then he saw me.

"Sis why you crying? What happen?" My brother asked while Lucas walked in.

"I'm just tired of everything the date went left and everything. I'm just tired of people walking over me and treating me any kind of way. I cut myself every night just to make the pain go away but it don't. It really doesn't go away because it's still there like my heart is aching. Sometimes I think what if my mom aborted me then i wouldn't be here. I wouldn't feel this way I don't understand what I ever did to anybody. Fuck my life man. Fuck my life man fuck this shit. I'm ready to fucking die man I'm ready to die bruh. Somebody just come shoot me or matter fact lets go to my mom house so she can kill me and everything will be ok" I said letting out how I feel and crying at the same time.

"Sis stop fucking talking like that we all got you. Shit gone be ok we all then be through the storm and rain but we just gotta keep strong. We can't let nobody bring us down and you can't let nobody bring you done. If somebody touch you beat they ass. If somebody touch you let me know. I'm not gone let nothing happen to you. None of us gone let anything happen to you and gotta stop showing people you weak. Because I know that my lil sister ain't weak now stop talking like that. If you need anything you got me and you got dad shit you got family that you haven't met yet that got you" my brother said.

I had to learn all that stuff my brother just told me was some real stuff. We hugged for like 10 long minutes then me and Erica hugged. Erica and my brother went in her room while I went to the bathroom to wipe my face. Lucas came in the bathroom while I was cleaning my face.

"You good?" He asked.

"Yea" I said.

"You know I care about you a lot even though we just friends but i was serious when I said you gone be mine. It's gone be unexpected but when you become mine you gone know what love is" he said smiling with those pearly white teeth.

"Aww Lucas you so sweet" I said smiling back at him.

"Now where my hug?" He asked.

I gave him his hug and he grabbed my butt. I slapped his hands away and he gone start laughing. My brother and Erica was still in her room so me and Lucas watched movies and cuddled in her living room. I'm glad I could let things out because I feel much much much better.
