Adrian Parker fights for her life, between school and an abusive relationship she meets Melvin Gregg. She finds safety in him but does he carry those same rush of emotions for her?
"Baby you need to get out of this bed." Jada tried dragging me but I wasn't budging. I was coughing and sneezing everywhere and the tears still ran down. I just couldn't believe that all we went through only put us back in square one. I had been throwing up for the last two weeks and I just stopped two days ago. I think I was sick in love.
"Just leave me here Jada, I'm fine." I groaned putting my face back into the pillow. I missed Melvin so much but I couldn't allow him to hurt me once again. The purple mark around my throat was still showing a little. It broke my heart to see that side of him, it reminded me too much of Brandon.
"You can't let Melvin's dumb ass choices affect you how you did last time. He was wrong for putting his hands on you and you had every right to stab that yellow bastard." She opened up my blinds making me shield my eyes. How the hell did you even find big ass blinds for a glass wall?" She asked making me chuckle a little. "Girl you can find anything online." I coughed sitting up.
"Mhm, well Houston is about to find your ass on the streets!" She shouted from the closet. "Here! Put this on." She shoved clothes at me making me sneeze. "Can't you see i'm sick." I blowed my nose throwing the tissue away in the trash bin."
"Adrian fuck all that, we about to get you a new man and everything." She walked around picking up all my snacks I've ate over the week. "Girl you know i'm not over Melvin." I laughed. "Well you will be, I just need him to see what he's missing."
I smiled. She was right, minus the new man part. I was going back to the person I use to be before Brandon and Melvin. I stood up walking to the bathroom to change. I was sick but there's nothing a good attitude and makeup won't do.
Melvin's POV.
Since me and Adrian break up i've been looking like a bum and sadly, been slacking on my job. When I had Adrian shit was so simple. All I wanted was her, my little prince or princess. I felt like a dumb ass choking her like that, I was dangerously in love and still am. I guess her threatening to leave made my life flash before my eyes.
"Snap out of it pussy!" Devin throwed the pillow at my head. Making me throw it back at his goofy ass. "Stop playing man!"
"Yo you need to chill, not my fault your dumb ass let a good one go. She gives you chance after chance and you fucking up." I shook my head knowing he was spitting straight facts. "Man don't you think I know this shit? Man I fucked up and bad, all she needed to understand was I didn't fuck with Mesha!" I slammed my hand on the coffee table. This shit was real irritating.
"I feel you bro, but she didn't miss your ass." He chuckled referring to the deep scar I had on my side from being stabbed. Surprisingly I laughed myself, the shit wasn't funny at the moment but now I know not to put my hands on her. It was just a heat in the moment type thing. I never really meant to hurt her like that and it broke my heart.
"Yooooo!" Devin popped up out of his seat making me look at him sideways. "Man the fuck wrong with you?"
He didn't say anything, just passed me the phone. "Man what the fuck is this?" I stood up looking at the picture. "I knew Adrian was feeling some type of way but damn." I shook my head handing the phone back. "Ya girl out'chea looking like a fucking snack and you ain't gone do shit?" He asked looking at me.

"Man what the fuck can I do? You acting like I know where she at." I shook my head again, she was looking way too fine. "She with Jada messy ass so you know i'll get the location." I smirked nodding my head, she was playing the games but I could play all too well.
Adrain's POV.
Me and Jada were enjoying our day out. She told me Melvin had liked the picture of me being petty. I found it funny and sort of cute that he still checked my social medias.
"Girl speak of the devil." She got up from the table answering her phone. And I guess the devil was Devin because that's all she talks about.
I stirred the lemonade that was in my cup, I tried liquor but my stomach disagreed as soon as I sipped. My body has been rejecting everything I use to like lately.
"Wassup baby girl?" I scrunched my face up turning around but my face softened looking at the handsome guy. He was dark skinned, pretty teeth with a grill, very curly hair and brown eyes. "Hi." I smiled shyly.
"My name is Ace, what's yours beautiful?" I blushed putting my head down. "Adrian." He took my hand in his kissing it. "So do you gotta man?" Before I could give my own answer I was rudely interrupted. "Yeah she gotta nigga, wassup?" Melvin walked all up on the guy scaring both of us. "Damn son, chill I didn't know." Ace put his hands up backing away. I rolled my eyes watching this shit unfold.
"Ain't no chill my nigga, you talking to my girl. Get the fuck outta here looking like a clown."
Now I was embarrassed for him, his shoes were pretty big. He finally walked off doing it in shame, minus the big shoes Ace had it going on.
"And you!" Melvin said making me scrunch my face up. "We ain't been broken up for six weeks and this how we rocking!?" He was yelling and making a big scene.
"All he did was say hey, you're over fucking reacting!" I yelled back pushing his big ass head. "That nigga smile was bigger than his fucking shoes, fuck you mean just a hey?"
I sat there speechless and embarrassed as fuck.
"Yo get in the car shorty." He took his keys out of his pocket shaking his head like I was really the one stressing him out. "I'm not leaving with you." I stood my ground folding my arms. "Then you out here in this shit, yoooo .. get in the car!"
I looked at Jada for help but that bitch was getting chewed out by Devin.
I rolled my eyes to help the tears go away. I walked behind him listening to him talk his little shit. Minus that he was looking and smelling good. We finally made it across the street and to the car.
"So you not gone open my door?" I asked watching his ass ignore me. "You was a big girl when you put that shit on so have that same energy to open that door." With that he climbed in the car slamming his door. I rolled my eyes getting inside and putting my seatbelt on.
"You tripping foreal Melvin, you act like that shit that happened at the room didn't happen." I shook my head looking out the window. "I know what happened and I'm sorry, I'm real sorry. That shit made me feel like brandon bum ass, it was a heat in the moment deal. I'm in love with you adrian and when you threatened to leave it trigger something."
I sniffed hearing his words. "You promised you'll never hit me." I shook my head feeling like a fool. "I know and I feel bad for doing that, give me another chance."
"So you think all you gotta do is swoop in and play protective nigga and i'm coming back to you?" I looked at his stupid face not believing his request.
"Do you think you deserve me?" I asked honestly.
"No, bu-." I cut him off putting my hand in his face. "So no is my answer, I don't want you until you know you're acceptable enough for me."
"Damn, really A?" He shook his head pulling up in my driveway.
"Bye Melvin." I got out the car closing the door. It hurted but not one time did I turn around.
