Torn.

Two months later

Sitting in my English class I was so ready to go. It literally took everything in me not to fall asleep.

"Aye Cass?" I heard somebody say from behind me. I turned around and looked at Rambo.

"Let's bounce." He mouthed and I nodded. Our teacher was turnt towards the board writing something long so we knew it would be a while before he turned around. Rambo snuck out first and I was right behind him. We went to his car and sat in it.

Rambo had been doing good for himself. He had a job and recently got him a car. He was working on finding an apartment because he was living with his Aunt and her three kids. I didn't know why because he didn't really talk about his personal life.

"I'm surprised you agreed, ms star student." He joked, starting up his car. I rolled my eyes at him.

"I wasn't feeling it today anyway, I'm tired."

I was with Tristan all last night and we were just chilling at his place. It had been about two months since our date and we couldn't leave each other alone. I was always around him, like always.

"Where you been anyway? We came over the other day and you weren't there. We even blew your phone up but your Mom told us you was with yo lil boyfriend." Rambo teased. I flipped him off.

"I sure was. Why she telling y'all my business for?" I said rolling my eyes. My Mama could never keep her mouth shut.

"I'm tryna figure out why you haven't told any of us about a boyfriend though."

"He not my boyfriend.. yet." I said, mumbling the last part.

"Oh that's a bet." He just licked his lips and kept driving.

We finally arrived to my house and we both went in. My Mom wasn't home and she wouldn't be for another week. She claim she was taking a trip for the boutique but I knew she was lying. Sis was on a whole baecation. I didn't mind though, that meant we were able to have Pie's kickback this weekend.

"So y'all got everything planned for the kickback? What else we need?" Rambo asked, laying down in my bed.

"I think we pretty much got everything. We do need some liquor though but I can get somebody to handle that." I said thinking of Tristan.

"I can get the weed for the low."

"For the low? Nigga it better not have no shit in it." I frowned. I wasn't a smoker, I was a drinker but I didn't want nobody to get hurt because I would be responsible for it.

"It ain't gone have nothing it dumb ass lah girl. Come here tho." He demanded sitting up. I mugged him.

"Um why?"

"You gon' come or nah?"

I cautiously walked towards him. He was always playing and pulling a stunt so I never knew.

When I got closer he pulled me down on his lap and restrained me.

"Ow nigga that hurt!" I said trying to punch him. He was seriously hurting me.

"I just know you didn't go get a boyfriend on me. Right?" He said pinching my thigh. I jumped and turned looking at him. His blue eyes were now dark and I was scared shitless. He was serious.

"I don't have a boyfriend. We just friends." I mumbled nervously.

"Great." He smiled and let me go. My thigh was bruised and my arm was now red from him restraining me.

I was scared but then I realized that this nova had me fucked up. Why did it matter to him?

"Get out my house nigga, fuck wrong with you?" I said, opening my room door.
