My mind is racing a thousand kilometers a second. As Janae was walking towards me fast. Jamil automatically got in front of me, ready to stop her and protect me.

Lucas stopped Janae mid-way but not before giving me a glance.

"Lucas get the fuck out of my way!" Janae screamed looking me dead in the eyes.

I was too upset and frustrated to even speak, so Jamil did for me.

"Janae you needa chill. It's not even what it looks like." Jamil yelled at Janae.

"Explain it to me then, because it looks to me that it's exactly what it looks like!" Janae yelled back, as Lucas pulled her into an embrace, causing Jamil to tense up and clench his jaw.

My heart felt like it was going to die slowly. Shots firing at my heart as I saw Lucas and Janae in each other embrace. One tear fell and I swiped it away quickly, only Jamil noticed.

He turned to me as he realized Lucas had got Janae occupied for the moment. Looking through my eyes before hugging me , just holding me . Brought the pieces of my heart back together.

He had both arms around my waist and his chin on top of my head. My head laying on his chest, silent tears fall slowly. One by one....

He pulled away and told me to go fix my face and where the bathroom was.

I walked to the bathroom quickly and when I got in . I looked in the mirror just to see the mess of my face.

"I'm so damn ugly " I told myself out loud.

I needed to get myself together because I wasn't about to let my thoughts take over .

I told myself I'm going to get it together.

I splashed water on my face, dryed it. I wiped my tears and fixed my outfit before walking out the bathroom.

Jamil spotted me walking towards him and said "We're going out somewhere, Nae and Lucas left."

"Where?" I asked wondering where could he take me at this time of night.

"A park"

"What are we going to do there Jamil?"

"I got some fireworks, I don't mind using tonight." He said with a sheepish smile on his face.

"Alright, bring some food because I'm hungry."

"I'll stop and buy us something, what you want curlyhead?"

"Get me some churches chicken with some fries and mash potatoes and coleslaw and the biscuit too. Can't forget about that."

"I love a girl who can eat. " he winked.

"Boy keep playing , ima leave you where you at."

"What is that suppose to mean?"

"Figure it out" After I said that, I started to walk towards the door. He followed behind me guiding me to his car, after locking his house.

I got in the car and put on my seatbelt. We got my food and headed towards the park after.

We pulled in to the park parking lot and got out the car. I had my food in my hand while he carried the fireworks.

We walked over to a bench and sat down while, I was eating, a conversation began.

"So what got you so upset, if you don't mind me asking?" He asked.

" My mom, and not only that but it hurts so much to see the person who you need is being all buddy buddy with the enemy. " I said in between bites of my food.
