Quan🤴🏾🤗

"Jade, you've told me this before, remember?" I said, she looked up at me.

"Wh- what do you mean?" She looked at me so confused.

"Remember me Jay, Quan? We were best friends since kindergarten? We been in the same classes since forever.." I said letting her stare. She looked at me like she realized something.

"DaQuan!! It's you!! Omg I missed you so much!" She jumped on me and squeezed me. I hugged her back.

She grabbed my arm and saw my tattoo that I got of her name in 8th grade.

"It is you.." She looked at the tattoo and started crying again.

"Why you crying?" I asked. She opened her mouth about to say something, then stopped.

"Because, *sniff* you been gone for along time and *sniff* I haven't seen you in forever. Quan I thought you were dead." I looked at her confused.

"Why would you think I'd be dead?"

"You were in a freaking gang for however long and I thought that there was a chance that you could've been dead. And even if you weren't, you never came to me and Kevin's grandma' house to come say hey." She stopped crying.

"Jay I'm sorry, so sorry. I was in hiding for along time and they came lookin for me so I had to go hide. I promise you ma if I didn't have to go hide I would've came and saw y'all everyday possible." I looked over to her and she stopped crying.

"Girl lemme wipe them tears" I said then wiped her tears. "You been a crybaby since forever dude I swear!" I laughed, she looked at me with a look.

"Shut up. I'm not a crybaby..... I just, cry a lot." I looked at her and she looked back. I slapped her thigh.

"Stop Quan!!" She whined rubbing her thigh.

"Ahhh you big baby!! You need some sleep" I got off the bed and went to the door.

"No!" I turned around and looked at her. "Can I sleep with you tonight, so I won't have another bad dream, please Quan?" I looked up and thought to myself

"Yea Jay, but don't come crying though." I chuckled.

"Yay!" She grabbed her phone and came in my room. I got under the covers and laid on my back and got on my phone. She got in and got under the covers and turned the opposite way of me. I saw a glow on the side of her face realizing she's in her phone too.

15 minutes later... (Still Quan's POV)

In the bed watching TV, I got a phone call and answered it without checking the Caller ID.

"Hello?"

"Wassup Quan." It was Kevin. Jay sleep so I'll turn it on speaker.

"Aye, how the settlement going down?"

"It's going good, just finished unpacking.."

"Oh. Oh and yeah. Jay remembers me now.." there was slight hesitation.

"For real?! I'm just glad she do cause she be taking bout you 24/7 like it ain't nothing man. And especially with that weak boyfriend of hers." I got quiet.

"What boyfriend?" I sat up straight on the bed.

"His name is James. He kinda tall, light skinned.."

"Ion know who he his but if he messing with Jay me and his ass gone have to fight."

"Mhm and imma jump in too. I told Jay to leave him but she won't. They don't even talk like they used to and just cries when I tell her they not working out."

"Don't worry Kev, imma set her straight, and that lame James boy." Kevin laughed.

"Ok man, you sleep good, and be safe. If you need anything just call me or Jay."

"Ight, love ya"

"Love you too Kev." I hung up. I put the phone on my nightstand and laid down. I scooted over to cuddle with Jay but she pushed me off.

I know we not like that but she in my damn bed so.

I looked at her face and she was crying.
