Me And My JJ

21

Anaya's P.O.V

"Promise us you'll come to prom" Ayesha says as she hugs me
"I promise, I wouldn't miss it for the world" I say and hug her back

"Don't you dare forget us" Halima shouts as they walk out my door. They've been here since the morning and it's half six now. I'm leaving for my new house in a few hours and they wanted to spend time with me. All they did was talk about prom, which is in a week, and how I need to be there with Ali. Although I'm not sure that's gonna happen. I was going to break up with him but the girls told me to ignore it. Leave it till after prom.

I shut the door and smile sadly. I'm gonna miss my monkeys.
I get to my room and sit on my bed. My room is so plain right now, I had to empty it all and put it in boxes and that's why it's so depressing.

My phone starts ringing and I look at the I.D.
The screen showed, 'Ali💚'
I'm not sure the heart belongs there anymore. I'm kind of losing interest in him to be honest. He's been ignoring me so much it's like I don't even know him.

I answer the call and hold the phone to my ear.
"Hello?"
"Hey, can you meet up with me in the car park near the fish and chip shop?" He asks
"now?" I ask confused
"Er y-yeah" he stutters
"Ah sure, gimme ten minutes" I tell him and hang up

I go into Fayzaan's room and all my brothers are in there
"What?" Sulaiman asks
"Ahem... I need a favour" I say and the rest of them look up at me
"What favour?" Uzair asks
"Basically, Ali asked me if I can meet him in the car park near the fish and chip shop and I need you to cover for me for like ten minutes" I say nervously

"You're not going on your own over there" Sulaiman says
"Oi don't be so harsh" Fayzaan says and I smile
"Why should we let her go to him?" He asks
"She's old enough and its only down the road" Hannan reasons
"Fine, but I'll kill him if he does anything to you" he threatens and I smile
"Thanks so much I love you guys, in a bit" I say before walking out

I reach the car park and see him stood against a wall on his phone.
"Hey" I say as I reach him and he looks up and smiles
"Hey, I need to talk to you" he says
"Okayyyy" I length it out, I'm confused

He gestures for me to sit on the corner and he sits down as well.
He turns and faces me,
"Anaya, don't get me wrong, you're amazing and I'm so lucky to have you but recently I've been feeling a bit different towards you. I don't get them butterflies anymore, I just don't feel as if my feelings for you have got stronger, in fact they've gone weaker" he starts

"Wait, what are you trying to say?" I ask and he looks down in his lap
"You're moving houses and we're just gonna find it hard to fix our already broken relationship so I think-" I cut him off

"So you think we should break up? You know I tried so hard to make us work. Don't you think I know our relationship is falling apart? You started ignoring me so I tried to talk to you more but you just didn't want to. You were being such a fucking prick and I still never said anything to you I just left it. But you know what? I think we should break up" I say

He sighs,
"I didn't want to say it like this but I didn't have a choice and you deserve someone way better than me, someone who'll commit to you"
"This is bullshit" I say before getting up and walking away. I hear him sigh as I walk off and tears start spilling out my eyes.

As soon as I get home I slam the door behind me and run up to my room. I shut the door and bury my face into my pillow .
What just happened?

I just broke up with Ali that's what happened. It's weird because I always thought that I'd never get to be with him. Then when he told me he liked me, I thought we'd be together forever.

I hear a knock at the door and someone walks in.
"Anaya?" Sulaiman asks
I don't reply
"Did he do something to you?" He asks
I shake my head and look up at him
He sits down next to me and I hug him
"We broke up" I explain, "he said it'd be too hard for us cos in moving away and we can't fix our relationship cos it's fucked up"

"Naya listen to me, that bastard didn't deserve you, and any dick that treats you like that will have to deal with me, so fuck him okay? You're gonna find someone way better than him" he says
I hug him before he walks out the door to get ready to leave

I look around my room for the last time. I'm never coming back. This is it.

----------------------------------------------

"Get in the car" I hear my mum say from downstairs
I take one look at my house and get into the car.

This is it. I'm going to start new. Somewhere new. Even if I don't know where that is still, I'm feeling ready to leave and start again.
