Neya POV
2 long weeks dragged on since Kamyra's first time at Chres' house & she called him daddy. Next week she'll be back home, thank god. the process into gettin her happened quicker than we all expected, cause i guess i was bein watched & they said i've been good. so i'll be her legal guardian soon. Yay! also, todays the last day of school. im almost a senior! yas! Lately me & Chres hasnt been on good terms completely. i dont know why, but we just been arguin here & there over petty stuff, and sayin little words to each other. I mean, yeah.. thats still my baby cause we havent broken up, but i dont know whats gotten into us. In fact, i just heard him honking his horn
Neya: TY IM LEAVING!
Ty: Aight! see you later
Neya: KAY!
grabbing my bag, and couple snacks, i ran out the door. As i opened the door, the AC blasted me. i slumped in the seat, draggin the seatbelt over me
Neya: Mornin' babe
Chres: Mornin'
We pecked each other lightly on the lips, which is not normal. Usually, if we kissed like that, he'd be like "thats it?" but instead, he switched the gear out of park, and drove off towards Ray's house. i turned the volume down on the radio & looked at him
Neya: Babe, whats wrong? forreal. dont bother tryna lie. you've been actin weird, and we havent been the same
he didnt say anything for a while
Neya: Chresanto..
Chres: Im leaving
Neya: Huh?
Chres: Im moving away to Georgia for the summer
my voice cracked when i spoke
Neya: But you'll be here in time for senior year, right? I mean, we had plans of goin to prom & all that together.
Chres: I cant garuntee that. i dont know how long im goin for. it could be a month, 3 months, 6 months... i dont know. my parents havent decided yet
Neya: Cant you talk them into just moving for the summer?
Chres: I tried. we all tried. even my uncle. nothings stopping them. my mom tryin to stay there permanently, and my dad wants to come back.
Neya: When do you leave?
Chres: A week & a half
I didnt say anything more, just sat in my seat, and let tears come down
Chres: Babe, please dont cry.
Neya: It doesnt matter. just stay wherever you go. i didnt want to get close to anyone for this exact reason. they always leave me
Chres: Ima be back to visit & what not. im not leaving you forever
Neya: Its not the same as having you here. you're really all i have besides Ty & Kamyra
Chres: Im sorry
Neya: No you aint.
Chres: Laneya, you dont think i tried to talk them into it?! i've been doin so since i found out in April! i dont wanna leave you, or Kamyra, or Jake, Or Craig, and definetely not Ray. My whole life is here, Laneya. I dont wanna just dump it & go! i have a fuckin girl to look after so you dont do no crazy shit knowin you suicidal! i cant loose you, Neya. I know im the only one who can calm you down to make sure you dont harm yourself. if i go, i dont wanna hear that something happened, and you in the hospital or whatever
