Time Really Shows (Phora)ON HOLD

Phora POV

I stood by looking around taking a drink of water since I was still taking meds. I was just bored and it's weird because usually I'm never like this at any party. All I know I was miserable. The thought of having to stand him being with Mia brought a lot anger.

"Having fun?" Andrew called out.

"No...I think I'm going to go home. Where's Eskupe?" I responded. I didn't want to be here anymore. I don't know why Deezy insisted on me to come if I barely got out of the hospital. I regret coming here. I watched Deezy for a moment talking to a few girls at the party.

"Over there talking to lil action." Andrew said. My eyes travel towards them. Devour was not around and neither was Mia. It annoyed me to see her with him. How could she even be with that type of guy?

"Do you know if Mia left?" I asked Maria, she was the only person that was close to her. It looked like she didn't want to say anything. She could tell I had a bit of a rage.

"Where's Mia?" I attempted again.

"Do you need her for anything?" She said nervously avoiding my question. "Where is she?" Andrew asked her she looked down and said "She went in the back with that guy." She said slowly. That irritated me more knowing they could be alone. I made my way to the back. I knew it wouldn't be hard to find her because it was actually lonely back here as I suspected.

She was right there kissing Devour. I paused. All the blood in my body rushed to my head, and I suddenly saw myself driving my fist into the wall. Because sitting at the bitch lap with her tongue down his throat was my girlfriend. No, my not-girlfriend.

Mia POV

"Marco!"

His name exploded from my mouth before I fully registered he was actually there. Marco held his right hand in his left. Both were shaking.

"Fuck!" Marco said flinging his hand out cursing under his breath.

"Did you really just punch the wall?" Maria said standing next to Andrew.

For me. Marco had just punched the wall for me. I felt this weird feeling as Devour stood next to me. And then all the boys were there. Some of Phoras friends stood around him as same as Devour friends stood in back of him.

What were they all doing here?

"You're bleeding." Maria said worriedly.

The blood trickle from Marcos knuckle and splattered to the floor. Marco just stared at me. At my lips. Suddenly for no reason at all, I felt like a cheating slut. But Marco was not my boyfriend. He was not.

For me he was known as the guy who punched a wall for just simply me.

"You should really get that checked out." Devour said laughing at him.

"Fuck you." Marco spat angrily.

Devour tilted his head starring at Marco with a smirk. "If you want to get down again we can. I ain't scared of you homie." Devour spat back at Marco. Again? They fought before? I didn't know that.

Marco took a step forward and so did Devour. Everyone took a step forward, they all stood in back of Marco and Devour. Andrew's hand shot out pressing against Devour. My heart thumped thinking this was going nowhere good.

"Back off" Andrew spat to Devour.

Devour smiled but laughed. Marcos eyes darted at me. Devour stop laughing and pushed Andrews hand away. Andrew shoved him as Marco tried to swing at him with his bloody hand. Jessie, Devours friend, stepped in pulling Andrew back. Fear flashed through my eyes as I seen Marco punched Devour straight at his face. His lips split open and blood dripped out. He touch his mouth for a few seconds then he socked Marco straight to his nose. Blood gushed out as they kept swinging at each other.

"Guys!" I shouted as I put my hands up between them all. "Stop please!" They froze. I took Marcos wrist and pulled him far away from the others.

"Look at you. You just barely got out of the hospital and now fighting. Do you want to get kill?" I said crossing my arms over my chest.

"That's not important right now." He said sounding angry. "What the hell is up with you Mia? Are you with that Cat?"

"I don't know maybe...I am." I said taking a deep breath. His jaw dropped open and took a step back. "Are you playing me?"

"Me? Why would I be playing you? We are nothing." I said finding myself get angry. "And your little scene that you caused proved what? Nothing."

"What do you want me to do? I try checking up on you but I see this." He said. "Why am I even trying?" He said moving his head.

"You never tried!"I shouted at him. "You just wanted to act like nothing ever happened between us." I said lowly this time. It was true he wanted to act as if we we never dated, as if I was no one important in his life.

The look that crossed his face made me realize what he wanted. Like yes that's what he wanted. Like what was so bad about that? He didn't get it at all. He was never going to get it.

"I don't get you?" He said.

"Fine. Then maybe you should just go." I said as tears formed in my eyes.

"Yeah. Maybe I should." He nodded.

Neither one of us moved. He looked past me and his eyes clouded over. My heart hurt inside my chest. My heart still waited. Waited for him to say the right thing. The one thing that would make us more better. But at this point I don't think there was nothing he could say that would fix us. His mouth was still snapped shut. He was speechless.

"You should come with us" He said. "I don't want you near that fool."

The exact wrong thing.

I laughed sarcastically. "Oh really? Well I don't think that's going to happen." I said turning my back on him. I walk all the way to Devour. And grabbed Devours hand. I knew I made myself look bad but I just hated him right now. Was I such an embarrassment for him? I cared for him I actually did but it seemed that he only wanted me for his own benefit, when he wanted to notice me.

Fuck that.

I was done with it all.

"Mia!" Marco shouted but I had pulled devours hand away from the crowded house to his car. We got in and he drove. "Where do you want to go?" He asked I didn't have the nerve to look at him.

"Home." I simply answered.

He drove me home and it was a silent ride I got off once we arrived he followed in back of me.

"Mia." He grabbed my arm and I pushed his hand off me. "I don't want to hear it."

"Don't let him mess us up." He said. Who said we were an us? We weren't anything.

"We aren't anything, the kiss was a mistake okay." It was. I just kissed him because I was angry. I was angry at him and everything I did was because of him.

"You don't mean that." Devour said looking in my eyes. I didn't want to hurt him, but I couldn't trust him either.

"Just give me time to think." I said not waiting for his response. I went inside crying. I hated how he made me feel. I hated how he was on my mind daily and all of a sudden he has the nerve to have a say who I can date or not.

I was tired of always coming home crying. I was just simply tired of everything and everyone. A few knocks on my door made me quickly wipe my tears. What did Devour want now? I thought. I open the door slowly only to my surprise to find out it wasn't Devour.
