I Got You (Urban)

K.O.Q *2*

Aniya's POV.

I've never had good luck with guys or relationships, so I'll give you an insight on my first. When I was in middle school I did deal this one boy named Marcus. He was the first person I actually ever dealt with. I was young but I started to like him because he was the only one that got past my hard demeanor, though I still had my guard up. My friends knew about him, and the first person I told was my old friend Tasha. Thing about Tasha is, she always used to compliment us about how cute we were and how happy she was. Bottom line? We broke up because he couldn't handle the kid. Fine. But what really caught me off guard was when I found out Marcus and TASHA started dating out less than a month after we broke up. 😲 I didn't get too worked up because Marcus wasn't all that ANYWAY, but that is when I noticed how sneaky bitches could be.

Going from middle school to high school wasn't bad. I met 3 friends that I still have till this day. Lala, who's the fun sized light skinned mama that had no filter. Lala was the one that we always had to tell her to chill or we just couldn't have her on speaker. Then there was Talia, our Spanish mami that loved her mangu, laid back but still with the shits. Then there was my baby Tyra, always up to date with the latest brands and shadyyyyyy. At the end of the day, we were the fierce four. One of us into something? ALL of us are, simple.

My freshman year wasn't bad. All up until I met this boy named Ty. He was 19 and I was 14. I met him at a party and we exchanged numbers, I knew he was a hood boy but it was something about them that I liked. I don't know if it was the fact that I KNEW I couldn't deal with a soft nigga, cus my attitude aint for no soft nigga, but enough of that. "Stay away from him Aniya, he's no fucking good sis. I'm telling you," My sister Alissa said, but I'm hard headed so of course I didn't listen. So, Ty and I were talking day and night and he would just have all the right things to say. He picked me up from school after he got out of work, we chilled for a bit I bought him food and put him and I in a taxi home. Some time went by and I was INTO him, everything was fine but I had this gut feeling something was wrong somewhere. The way he spoke to me began to change and the whole vibe had changed, and soon after I found out why.

As I walked into school that day I already wanted to leave. My mood had been a mess. Ty had left me hanging the night before and I was upset about it but I would call him after school to see what the issue was. I wasn't into the games, I hated feeling like I was being played with.

"Aniya, remember that Ty nigga you was talking to and he came to pick you up?" Lala said.

"Yeah bro. Talking about him, he been moving funny but I'm probably overthinking like I always do. But why, wassup?"

"I know why, but I don't know how to say this though cus I know how much you liked him. But just look."

I was confused as to what Lala was trying to say. But the picture I saw on her phone made my heart drop. It felt like someone had knocked the breath out me. There Ty was in a picture with his ex he told me not to ever worry about, holding her protruding stomach. The caption read, My bro finally bouta be a daddy to twins. Congrats to my bro Ty and the sis Alicia. I couldn't believe it. I never let anyone see me down so I gave Lala her phone and she gave me a look of concern. "I'm sorry sis. He ain't shit, don't worry. He gonna regret playing you. His baby mother wack anyway Niya. Don't stress these aint shit niggas." Lala said. I laughed it off and told her I was good regardless, but the ache in my heart was too heavy to contain.

As I was on my way home all I could do was think. He really did this shit to me? Whatever he needed, I was there to provide. He was hungry? I'd use the little money I had to get him something to eat. Whenever he picked me up, I was the one that put him in a cab. I let him IN! I let him see a side of me that close to nobody ever got to see and this is what I get? I asked him about his previous relationship and he downplayed her and said he didn't want shit to do with her and that I had nothing to worry about. Wow Niya, you did bad sis. Should've listened to Remy. Fuck it, fuck that nigga. As I thought to myself, the tears began to fall heavily. I wiped them away fast and got off the bus and dialed Ty's number.

"Hi Niya baby. How was school today mamas?" Ty said

"It was fine. Oh, and congratulations on your twins." The line suddenly got quiet and my heart became heavy just thinking about it again. "Niya, I swear I was gonna tell you. It was a mistake, Im sorry. I wanted to be the one to tell you. But Niya listen, that's nothing. Don't leave me. We can get through this I promise. Please Aniya, I just want you." I let the last tear drop fall, cut the line and blocked his number. Note to self Aniya, never let these bozo niggas get close to you again.
