They Dont Know: Runaway Love

Chapter 3

*Chris POV*

I was outside waiting for Ryan to come out. Knowing me, I would've just walked home and could've been asleep already but the way she described her shoving a pencil down my throat if I didn't wait for her through a text was not very pleasant. As I waited I noticed Aaliyah girl coming out the double doors and just standing there. She was looking around and just so happened to make eye contact with me. She had this frown-like attitude on her face. She rolled her eyes and looked away. A blue challenger had pulled up to her and she hopped in and took off. I shook my head and just minded my business. Then I felt a light tap on my arm. I looked over to see the girl who complained over a damn chair.

"Yes?" I asked.

"I don't think we had a proper introduction to one another. I'm Zonnique" She said

"Oh yeah, the girl who damn near caught a fit over a chair. Save the introduction ight." I told her.

"Look I'm not that rude okay. I was having a bad day and the seat I always sit in was taken by you. You don't gotta accept my apology nor talk to me, but I thought I at least show the nice side of me. I really don't act like that" She said

"How bad was your day?" I asked.

"It's kind of personal. I usually don't let my personal problem get me out of character but it was one of those days I guess. I gotta go, my friend is waiting for me. I hope to see you tomorrow." She said as she put a smile on her face and walked off.

"Why were goldie locks talking to you?" Ryan asked as she walked up beside me

I shrugged my shoulders and we began walking.

*Aaliyah's POV*

Malik pulled in front of his house and we sat there in silence.

"Ima leave you here for a little bit," He said

I shot a confused look at him.

"Why? So you can hold a gun to someone else's head?" I asked

"Come on now. I said I was sorry ight. I gotta go handle some business as usual. Ain't nothing new Liyah" He said.

"For Daniel?" I asked.

He nodded his head and I rolled my eyes.

"What now?" He asked.

"I might as well just went home. He sees you and notices I'm not at the house, then what?"

"Liyah I got this"

I shook my head and looked out the window. He grabbed my face and pulled me over to him as he placed his lips onto mine. He pulled away and just stared at me.

"I really am sorry for putting that gun to your head. I promise I am. Go inside and wait for me. I'll come back soon and I'll make you feel good. Ight.'' He said.

I sighed and got out of the car. He drove off before I could make it to the gate. I went inside and just chilled in his room until I got a text from Daniel asking me where I was. He doesn't like that Malik and I are a...thing. Yeah, that's one word to describe us I guess. He feels as though relationships and business just don't go together or maybe because the summer of last year, Malik got me pregnant and my dad didn't want me to have a baby. So he forced me to get an abortion. That really tore Malik apart to the point he was heavy on drugs. Real heavy.

I told Daniel I was at Rich's house. A very good friend of mine that I wouldn't trade for in the world. I didn't want me or Malik to get in trouble so I told him that I was on the way back. I really don't have the energy to deal with his shit. So I left.

*Chris POV*

"Damn Chris, have I known you were beating up niggas like that, I'd let you beat my ex up." She said as she watched a video of me fighting my stepbrother. " Ryan said as she bit out of her chicken while she was watching a video on world star of me fighting my stepbrother.

"He shouldn't have put his hands on anyone," Stella said

"Shouldn't have slept with my girl" I said

"That's one way to learn a lesson I guess. How long are you staying?" Ryan asked.

"Not long. Your mother said a month or two." Stella answered.

"Longest month of my life," I said

"Oh shut up. You got me" Ryan said.

"Uh! Uh! Ryan, I know you're whereabouts and you are not going to get this boy caught up in shit because I'm not the one who gonna be getting his ass out of trouble" Stella said.

"Come on auntie. I haven't been in trouble for a good minute." Ryan said.

"Oh yeah? So you sneaking boys in your room aren't-"

"Okay okay! Chill out. Anyways, do you mind If I stay the night tonight?" Ryan asked.

"You must be sleeping on the couch?" I asked.

Ryan laughed and patted my back and looked back at Stella.

"Right where are you going to sleep Ryan?" She asked.

"In Chris's bed. He can sleep on the couch" I said

"Yeah... No" I said.

"Yeah, maybe another time. Plus it's a school night and I really don't feel like hearing Brooklyn's mouth so. Go on head home to ya mother and see me tomorrow after school okay. I'll have dinner made when yall get here. Chris, you walked her back?" Stella asked.

"I don't know New York like that."

"That's okay. I just asked Jordin if she can come to pick me up. She's on her way" Ryan said.

"How's her baby by the way?" Stella asked

"She's doing good," Ryan said

"Who's Jordin?" I asked.

"Very good friend of mine. Really the only friend." Ryan said.

"Damn too bad she got a baby. Maybe you can hook me and her up if she's not ugly. And if she is not messing with her baby daddy" I said.

"You don't need to be dating right now. Besides, when I met her, she already had her child. I still haven't seen any baby daddies around but she says they are trying to co-parent. I guess." Ryan said.

"Yeah that sounds like a lot," I said. "How is Brooklyn anyways?" I asked.

Ryan sighed and looked away. She shrugged her shoulders and just gave me a blank look. Brooklyn is Ryan's mother. They don't really have the best mother-daughter relationship. Ever since her dad left, Brooklyn treated Ryan like shit. I don't know how she did it, I would've been left.
