Found You

Chapter 15

"With those big ass ears, you prolly heard the sun come up this morning." Camila said to Woody. Everyone laughed.

"I would roast your big head ass but I know how sensitive girls get." Woody explained. Keith laughed and Camila rolled her eyes.

"Whateva." Camila walked into the kitchen and I followed.

"So Milani. How's you and Elijah?'" She asked.

"Girl we've been like on some good emotional shit. I thought cause I slept with him on the first night I met him, he wouldn't respect me but that was untrue thank gosh. And then the sex is great. The connection is there. And we've moved in together. Girl life is great."

"Awee that's sweet."

"You and Keith? How are y'all?"

"For him, were perfect. But for me...I wanna break up with him." She whispered.

"What?!"

"Milani quiet down." I shook my head.

"What do you mean you wanna break up with him?"

"Well it's out if panic okay? We are great and damn there amazing. He is perfect to me. I'm perfect to him but I'm not sure I wanna go any further. This is the point of a relationship where I'm supposed to get hurt. I'm ending it before he can hurt me. Not physically, emotionally. It's better to avoid pain for me." I looked at her like she was crazy.

"Mila you can't just assume that he's gonna hurt you."

"I just did. He's gonna hurt me sooner. And I'm not gonna be with him to feel that."

Camila

I am scared.
I am scared.
I am scared.
Panicking and more.
Panicking and more.
Panicking and more.

Hours Later**
Camila and Keith's Residence)

I walked downstairs and breathed out slowly to calm my nerves. My heart starts beating a mile a minute. Keith sits on the couch, keeping himself occupied by playing 2K.

I sit beside him and he glances over at me then continues to play the game.

"I need to talk to you about something." I spoke. He paused the game and tries to read my facial expression.

"Okay. What's wrong?"

"I think- well, I'm sure that we need to break up."

"What?! Why?!"

"Cause I just don't wanna be in a relationship anymore. It's not you, it's me."

"Is it something I did?"

"No. Of course not. I just think maybe we are better off as not together."

"Or are you just frightened by the idea that you think I'm gonna hurt you?"

"Ummm..." I literally had nothing to say because he just read straight through me.

"Honestly, I think that's bull shit. I'm not your ex. I wouldn't hurt you. And when I told you that, I meant it. You trust me don't you?"

"Keith I trust you but I don't want to be together anymore."

"Camila what are you trying to do?"
