New Girl ( Urban story )

Chapter 8

These past few weeks Erik has been on my mind so heavy. It's annoying. I mean I can't get him off of it when his name pops up on my phone every other hour. It's cute how he refuses to give up on me and walk away but at the same time he should've thought about that when he was with that other bitch!
I was feeling sad so I decided to go to Forever 21 to make myself feel better. I bought two pair of shorts, three shorts, a necklace, and a ring. Unfortunately I had to take the bus here and I had to take it home since my mom didn't leave her keys at home for me. I was siting at the bus stop when I felt someone hovering over me. I looked up and seen Erik. I swallowed hard and looked back down at my phone.
"Jalissa can we please talk?" He asked "PLEASE?"
I looked at him for a long time and thought whether to hear him out or not. I mean what more damage can be done? "What's up Erik?"
"I...um...i...we...look I don't know how to say this so I'm gonna do the best I can..." He paused. "I'm sorry. For everything I've ever done to you. I'm sorry for ever hurting your feelings and making you hurt I am SO SORRY. Tasha isn't what you think. Entertaining her was a mistake. That's not my girl nor will it ever be..I've never felt this way about any girl like how I feel about you. You just don't know Jalissa. I fucked up with you and I know it. I love you though. And I don't want you ever to forget that. You were so good to me and did everything right but I fucked shit up. You're a great girl ma and I want to be a great dude for you...but you need someone better for you."
That last sentence killed me. I don't see myself with anyone but him!
"That was just about the sweetest thing any guy has ever told me. And as much as I love you and want you to get your shit together, so we can make shit work I can't be with you. My trust for you is gone..there wasn't a thing I wouldn't have done for you and you took me for granted. You played me man. I gave you a part of me no nigga has ever had and a couple days later I find you boo'd up with the next chick. You say it's nothing but it's the principle of it! I was supposed to be your girl! Not Tasha!" I snapped.
He sighed "I never played you. You know where you stand to me and what you mean to me so don't go there. I never planned on making you feel that way. And that is my bad. I should've took you and your feelings into consideration a little more." He said.
I nodded. There was so much I planned on saying to him but it all flew out my head.
"Jalissa, I want you back." He blurted out. My eyes got big. I looked at him like he was crazy.
"Seee, you had me and couldn't even make us work for a couple weeks. Erik I can't keep letting you fuck me over and then wait with open arms for you to come back. You need to really think about who you want and what you want." I said. The bus pulled up. "Because I refuse to play ANYBODYS sidechick." I yelled swinging my purse over my arm and walking in the bus.
He just stood there and watched me go. I wanted to burst into tears but not in public. I just put my head in my hands, I couldn't even think straight. Maybe because part of me knew me and Erik were done. This girl brushed my passed me and hit me with her bag. If I was in my right state of mind I would've said something real smart but instead I just scooted over, so that it wouldn't happen again. Then I felt someone sit next to me breathing all heavy. A fat ass mothafucka. I was about to get up to get off the bus because I was beyond irritated and I felt like crying. Then I felt somebody's hand rub my back and I looked up to see Erik. I just looked at him and he pulled me into a hug. I didn't want to cry in front of him. He already seen me cry before and I refuse to let him see me again. I'm not even a crier. It's just I have a serious weak spot for him. I could feel my face getting warm though. A tear slipped out and I wiped it fast before he could see. I was so confused at this point. I didn't know what to do with him and where to go from here.
My stop soon came and I slid past him without a word. He tried to follow me but I softly pushed him back and shook my head.
On my way walking home he called me but I ignored it. I can't keep going I'm circles with him and let him play with me.
My phone buzzed and I got a picture message from her. I opened it and it was a snapshot of Tasha's Instagram. Tasha was hugging Erik and kissing his cheek. The caption was "I love my baby" with a bunch of emojis. And it was from TODAY. Uploaded 24m ago. I broke down. I started walking all fast. Tears were flying down my face and I was berating so hard! He's such a fucking liar! I just wanted to get home and go to sleep. When I got to my house I went straight to my bed and cried myself to sleep. My mom wasn't home either.

2 weeks later...

Its been a few weeks since me and Erik last talked and I can't lie, I haven't stopped thinking about him. I'm completely broken. I let him in and he hurt me again. I couldn't believe it. He stopped blowing up my phone after a week straight and I'm glad. Me, Marcus, and Alex have been enjoying my last couple of weeks of me being in Arizona but we all know what my mind is focused on.
Tonight me and them are having a movie night. I enjoy getting out the house because it takes my mind of shit for a while. This movie time with my best friends is much needed.

I heard a honk and looked out the window and seen Marcus's car parked out. I grabbed my bag and hopped in the car. Alex was already in there.

"Hi guys!" I said smiling hopping into the backseat.
"Wassssup" Marcus said
"Hey girl" Alex replied.
Marcus turned up the music and "Same Hoes" by Ty$ was on. We bumped and sang along until we pulled up to the movies. I don't know why but I was in good spirits. I was just happy to be around people that make me feel loved.
We walked up to the ticket stand. "So what y'all trying to see?" Marcus asked us.
"Let's see Carrie!" Alex yelled
"Naw let's see Bad Grandpa" i suggested
"Weeeeeell Bad Grandpa starts at 8 and Carrie starts at 10:20 so we could just sneak!" Marcus said
"Alright" me and Alex said at the same time.
Our movie date was great. I had a good time man. We laughed so hard. I thought Carrie was going to be way scarier but whatever. I caught Alex and Marcus giving eachother looks all night! I know they got something!
"Aye I gotta hit the bathroom one time" Marcus said sliding into the door.
I took this as my opportunity! "So how'd you like the movies" I asked easing in.
"Um they were nice! Bad Grandpa was jokes man!" Alex said laughing
"I know!" I said laughing with her. "But I caught you and Marchs! Y'all ain't slick!" I added.
She blushed and looked down. "Wassup with y'all anyways?" I asked smirking.
"Well...I don't know man! I like him and have for the longest but he's with that one bitch and me and Johnny still talking!"
I smiled at her. "Bitch you better jump on Marcus! He's such a good g-"
Alex's eyes got real big as she focused on something behind me. I turned around and thought I seen a fucking ghost. Erik and Tasha. Tasha was letting Erik's hand go as Erik looked up and seen me. I hurried up as turned around. I wanted I throw the fuck up. He just HAD to come to the movies the night I come right? I felt someone tap my shoulder and I turned around. Erik.
"Hey Jalissa.." He said
"Um...hi?" I asked brushing him off.
Marcus walked out the bathroom. Thank god! He frowned when he seen Erik. He just shook his head and waved to us let's go. "I hope you an your "date" enjoy your movie" was all I said before walking away.
That's when It hit me. It's for the best if I leave Erik alone.
We all went to my place and knocked out on my floor. I swear I heard kissing in the middle of the night but I decided to let them have their moment.
My mom cooked us breakfast in the morning then they went home.
I sat in my bed for a few hours bored listening to music and scrolling down tumblr when I decided to go on a Starbucks run.
I got my Carmel frappe and sat down. I was putting my change away when I picked up a recipt from Target with this phone number. Ohhhh Trey! The cute guy that worked at Target! I decided to text him

Me: Trey?

Him: wassup? Who this?

Me: *I sent him a picture of the recipt*

Him: oh what's up? Look who finally decided to hit a nigga up

I smiled a little at that text, I don't know why? I just thought about how cute he was and his smile.

Me: yeah, I'm sorry..I've been so caught up in some other stuff

Him: don't apologize. How you doin though?

Me: I'm good, how are you?

We texted back and forth for hours and got to know eachother a little more. He asked to take me out and I agreed. It's just as a friend thing though. Im not ready to jump into nothing too crazy so fast.





Me and Trey hung out and I had so much fun! We went bowling and out to eat. He's so cute and funny. He has dimples almost as deep as mine. His waves were so deep and he had so much confidence in his step. I was so attracted to him by the stuff on the outside. His smile was just so cute and I loved it. I wanted to get to know him so much better.
On the drive home he played Drake and we bobbed our heads to the beat. He had a nice car. A black dodge charger and it sat on some nice rims. He was fresh and had it going on.
Whem he dropped me off he kissed me on my cheek and I smiled he was so cute!
Over the next few days me and Trey hung out a lot and we got to know other. He was an interesting guy. I was starting to feel sad that I was moving out of Arizoma to Cali. I guess he sensed what I was feeling when I didn't bounce my head to 305 To My City

"What's wrong?" He asked me turning down his music.
"I'm kind of sad" I replied.
"Why..wassup?"
"I feel like we're getting close but I'm moving soon.." I said looking at him with sad eyes.
"Damn..where to?" He asked
"LA"
"Oh shit! Really? My mom just moved out there!" He said
I smiled. "Really?"
"Yeah! I was gonna move over that way soon too..ain't much out here for me. What's better than a new start anyways?"
I smiled again. "I hope I didn't sound clingy haha" I said laughing nervously
"Naw you didn't..we are getting close. I like your company." He said
"I like yours too" I admited.
We enjoyed the rest of our day. We went to subway and ate our sandwiches at a park down the street.
