- already my emotions started exposing , as tears dripped from my eyes , making little wet marks on the notepa-

" hi , is anyone sitting here " the girl asked , standing looking down at me , slightly smiling , interrupting my writing.

" no, you can sit here " I told her smiling , watching as she sat next to me.

I continued to write in my journal , playing the music loud enough to musically pleasure my body.

"  what you writing there ? " she said , looking down at my journal.

" oh, just some ole' poetry, it's not good or anything " I said , looking at her

" can I read , I mean you don't have to let me, it's completely fine " she asked, awkwardly rambling. I handed her the book, fidgeting with my fingers

In my head, I was expecting constructive criticism and a ' nice ' comment. " damn , this is really deep yo.. ho- how did you think of this ? " she said, eyes widened.

" it's just something's that come to my mind, and I put it in descriptive words, making it meaningful to only me " I said, smiling slightly

" well this is deep , I love it " she said as she handed my book back to me.

I smiled and thanked her, the train stopped and the speaker came on.

" 95th S Ashland - this is your stop " the conductor spoke loudly into the microphone.

" well this is my stop.. it was nice talking to you " I said smiling and she waved goodbye. I stepped down out the train, watching it as it left to its next destination.

I walked up the long stairway into the open world, I pulled my hoodie over my bouncy dark blonde curls. I quickly walked up the street to my best friend ' Gabby ' house.

I walked up her stairs and rung her doorbell. For about 3 more seconds I stood in the chilly weather, waiting for her to open the door.

" hey beautiful, you back so early, I thought you were suppose to be staying in New York for 2 weeks " she said, opening the door wide enough for me to come in, I placed my bag down and took my jacket off, plopping on the couch.

" yeah, things don't work out in my favor anymore, unfortunately I was being a ' bitch ' around her friends? and I was acting jealous when she was hugged all up on her ' long time friend ' " I said , rolling my eyes in the back of my head.

" wow, now I told you she wasn't no good for you ma. you keep taking her back baby, it won't get better unless SHE actually makes an effort to change. " Gab said, rubbing my back. " she doesn't deserve you yo "

I nodded my head because everything Gab said was true. She went her in room and I laid back onto the couch, closing my eyes thinking about all the things that happened today and previous days.

" you always think about yourself, you're never conscious about how bad you do people, you treat me like I'm regular " I yelled at her, trying to keep from crying.

" you know if you leave you'll come RIGHT BACK. I have nothing to worry about. what do I need to be conscious for? " my ex Sia said, raising her voice higher than usually.

" you know what? I'll just leave, you constantly disrespect me and you just think it's okay. if my mom taught me anything it's to NEVER let ANYONE disrespect you. " I quickly packed my bags, and walked out the door, with tears running down my face.

She had hurt me multiple times, 5 years straight I had put up with her. I couldn't leave because I was too deeply in love. But, now..? it's time.

I opened my eyes, sitting up. I got up and opened Yani's door to see her laid up and her reading " Love, Aubrey " with her girlfriend. " hey sis " Sierra said, smiling. " hey sis, what y'all in here doing? " I asked her.

" Sierra , has the nerve to tell me, reading is for old grannies! " she said, looking at her rolling her eyes

I threw a shoe at Sierra and laughed " no it's not you just average.. HA! " me and yani laughed. " but, im gonna go shower and take a walk.. some things I need to think about. " I said, slightly smiling. " okay bestie , be safe " I walked out the room and walked into the bathroom, starting the water.
