I felt everything go in slow motion. I didn't know what to do. My crazy ex boyfriend was right in front of me while I'm with a boy I was catching feelings for who I eventually want to be mine.
"Aaliyah?" I heard someone calling me getting me out of my daze.
"Huh?"
"Who is this?" Ethan asked me.
"Um this is-"
"Damon. Damon Dash. Aaliyah's good friend."
"Oh. Well nice to meet you."
I turned around and looked at Damon.
"What are you doing all the way out here dame?"
"I'm just traveling."
"Well , it was nice seeing you."
"Wait. We're y'all going?" Damon asked us
"It's a surprise for aaliyah." Ethan said grabbing my hand.
I looked at Damon and saw his eyes get dark.
Oh no.
"Well, we have to go get there by 12:00 so see you around dame."
"Yeah , see you liyah and Evan."
"It's Ethan."
"Oh, sorry"
We pulled off and I let out a breath of relief.
Ethan looked at me worriedly.
"Are you okay?"
"No."
"What's wrong baby? You wanna go back home? Did I do something? I'm sorry."
"What are you apologizing for? You didn't do anything. I just need to tell you something."
"What? Is it bad?"
"Yes. But I wanna be honest with you because that's what you deserve."
He pulled over into a deserted place ."
He sighed shakily and so did I.
"Okay , go."
I told him everything that me and Damon went through and how he destroyed me.
When me and Damon first got together , I thought he was the best man I've ever met. He was a big romantic, sweet , funny and supportive. I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with him but everything goes wrong once in a while.
Damon was in a gang called Hellboys.
They wore all red and black and smoked cigars almost every minute of the day. As soon as we got together , dame changed. He started texting me constantly asking me where I'm at , who am i with , threatening me , started getting people to follow me and he hit me and I knew it was over.
I had to end it. After we broke up, he went ballistic. He started sending me messages and gifts. As soon as I got accepted to Brown University, I lost all contact with him but he found me as soon as my mother told him. Now he won't leave me alone and I don't know what I'm going to do.
I finished telling the story having tears in my eyes ready to spill out.
Ethan immediately got up and hugged me tightly , kissing my face making my smile.
"Baby , I'm so sorry that happened to you. I would never do anything to hurt you or make you sad. You deserve the best and more than that."
I laughed while kissing his lips.
"Thank you for being listening to me."
"You're welcome. Thank you for telling me the truth."
"Of course, I just wanted to be honest."
He just smiled,looking into my eyes.
" i love you."
My eyes widened.
"i love you too."
"really?"
"I've loved you ever since we cuddled in that motel."
"I've loved you since we took those pictures."
I laughed.
He kissed my forehead then lips one more time before turning the car on.
"You ready?"
"Yes, let's go baby." I say before grabbing his hand and kissing his knuckles.
We pulled out of the deserted place and got back on the road.
Knowing that I have him on my side means everything to me.
I felt safe and loved.
