"Aren't you going to get that?" My father snapped, making me drop my silver fork onto the marble stone plate. "Huh?" I asked obnoxiously, snapping my head up. "Your phone." Auntie Jaya intervened, "what pho-" I began, before I heard my ringtone sound from the living room. My father rolled his eyes. "Are you okay?"

"J-Just give me a second" I said, standing from the dinner table and jogging over into the living room.

INCOMING CALL:
XAVIER

My breath hitched slightly, but I reached down and slid it over to answer. Escorting myself into the balcony, and away from any stray ears. "H-H-Hello? Jasmine? Jasmine" He stuttered panting violently. Either he was running or having a panic attack.

Should I answer?

"Jasmine! Jasmine!" He began to scream, running my hand through my thick curls, I answered. "Y-yeah?"

"Yeah? Why the hell have you been ignoring all of my texts! You haven't been talking to me at school! Don't answer my calls! What's going on with you!"

"I told you, Xavier. I need to focus on my stud-"

"Bullshit!" He roared, I could hear glass shattering behind his voice, trembling with anger. "Something changed with us, Jasmine." He said through what sounded like gritted teeth. "Nothing. I told you." I answered back, my voice shaking with fear.

"You lied to me.." he spoke slowly.

"I-I-No. N-"

"You lied to me!" He shouted back, i shuttered at his sudden change in tone. "Xavier, please." I begged as if he was standing right infront of me. "I swear to god Jasmine. Tell me the fucking truth, or I will have to hurt you.. or even worse.."

I tried to keep in a gasp. My eyebrows knit together, as I searched my mind for another lie. I shook my head as if he could see me, "I'm not sure you want to know the truth," i said slowly.

"Jasmine.." he spoke cautiously.

"I have a boyfriend!" I shouted back. "We just got back together! I swear, I was single the entire time we were talking! J-Just don't hurt me.." I pleaded, my voice shaking even more as tears began to well in my brown eyes, "p-please," i sobbed-- suddenly disgusted with my own weakness. The door flew open, I inhaled sharply, stopping my sobs, and immediately bent over to railing making an attempt to hide myself while I wiped away my escaped tears.

"Are you okay?" Michael asked slowly approaching me. I nodded vigorously, "yes. I'm fine." I responded, I could here Xavier still calling for me, on the line. "Who you talking too?" He asked walking closer. I shook my head, immediately hanging up, and then turning off my phone. "No one." I said quickly.

"Baby, who are you lying too?" He placed his soft hands onto my arms, looking deeply into my eyes. Only making more tears fall. "I'm good, Michael. I just.. I'm.. I'm just kind of scared."

"Why? Of what? Is it Trevor? Is he back? I knew we should've filed a restraining order, Jasmine you can't keep livi-"

"-Its not, Trevor. He has some other hoe, he can't even remember my name," I laughed coldly, perking up, wiping my eyes once more, practicing a small smile. Michaels hands moved to my waist. I would usually move them, but at this point, nothing mattered. He shook me once more, grabbing my attention.

"Hey? Jasmine?"

"Hm?" I hummed into my sleeve.

"I love you."

I smiled immediately, "I love you too," I said back, but the blonde shook his head. "No.. I-I really.. really love you, Jasmine. I hope you know how much you mean to me. You're not just some stupid high school fling.. I wanna spend the rest of my life with you, I wanna grow old with you, I wanna make a family with you, I wanna..... marry you."
