Could It Be You... Or You?

Distance

Things have been so weird since the panic attack. Nobody's been acting the same. They don't talk to me, they don't even come near me. I don't have a restraining order on them!

So we're all watching tv in the front room and everyone's all squished up on the other couch. Well except for Kaylah and Prine but he's all the way on the other side of the couch. "You know y'all can move over here..."

"Were cool." They all said. I shook my head and clinched my jaw.

"Listen to me. I had a panic attack, not a heart attack. And for you to isolate ya'll selves from me makes me feel even worse. So thanks." I went to the back, sat on the bed and crossed my arms. Prince sat beside me and placed his hand on my back.

"Babe you cool?"

"No, I'm not cool. Y'all alienated me and yes I can use big words. After all that happened yesterday this is when you choose to leave me I alone. This is the time I need you most." I put my hand on my chest. He wrapped his arms around me and I rested my head on his shoulder. He kissed my forehead.

Prince POV

"Haha. I know right!" We stepped on the bus. "Bri we're back!" Silence. "Bri?!" I walked to the back of the bus. Everything was gone... "Guys, I can't do this anymore. I feel too guilty leaving home and my family. This has nothing to do with you guys, you know I love every single one of you with all my heart. I just need to get myself together mentally and physically. And babe I love you and I'm sorry. Bye... -Signed Bri." I read as if I could hear Bri reading it aloud in unison with me.

"Prince what was that?!"

"She's gone..." Everyone hung there head down in sadness. I ran out the door and sprinted towards LAX.

"Prince wait!!!" But I didn't... I swear I ran more than two miles none stop. I pushed through people and forced them out my way. I can't lose her... I looked around with no luck of seeing my love. I sighed in hopelessness.

"Princeton?.." I turned around and saw the most beautiful wonderful girl in my life. "Princeton what are you doing here?" She said quietly. I hugged her.

"I'm here for you!" She shook her head. "Isn't that a good thing?" I looked at her confused.

"Prince I meant what I said in my note. I'm going home, no one can stop me..." She began to walk pass me. I grabbed her arm, she turned and I looked deeply in her eyes.

"Babe please don't do this..." My eyes began to water and my throat dried and tightened.

"Prince listen to me..." A tear fell from her eye. "If you care about me, you will let me go... Let me get myself together physically and mentally so I can love you the same way you love me..." I lowered my head and nodded. She kissed my cheek and walked off as her suitcase rolled behind her.

Aubriez POV

I looked at the house and took a deep breath. I walked up the walkway and knocked on the door. "Hello? Oh welcome back..."

"I need your help..."

"What are you gonna do for me..." He caressed my cheek.

"Jay, please just help me. Don't put me on the streets." A tear fell from my eyes.

"Don't cry, I love you too much to let you go homeless..."

"You love me?"

"Of course..." He grabbed my face in his hands and kissed my forehead. "Now come on in the house." I hesitated.

"Promise to care for me and never hurt me?"

"I promise... I was wrong before. Bri I love you and I got you." I smiled and walked into the house.

"Take a drag..." He said.

"I can't..."

"Come on, you know you wanna try one time?" I took the joint from his hand. I took a breath then gave it a try. I coughed hardly. Damn that felt good!

"Damn that felt good." He reached for it. "One more..." He laughed, we passed it a couple more times and before I knew it I was high. "Now I know what my mom was thinking." We laughed hysterically.

"Okay, no more of this stuff. Your too beautiful, I can't let you end up like me."

"Aww?.. Please?"

"No, see that's the weed talking." I crossed my arms and sat back.

"Okay, but I'ma miss this feeling." I laughed. "And I missed you..."

Never thought I would say that...
