Real Life

"So why didn't you want us to tell Diego?" Jess asks as we eat food in my living room.

"You didn't see Tana's post?" I mumble stuffing more fries into my mouth.

"Ooof Diego is for real an idiot. Like why her?" Kelsey says, flicking through things we can watch on Netflix.

"Right? He used to fuck with her when we were together, and I hated her. She was too clingy for a hoe. She threw herself at him when I was right there. Almost fought the bitch. But honestly she isn't even the worst." Jess says scrolling through her phone.

"Really? She seems like the worst...who could ever be worst?" I say rolling my eyes.

"Reddish Blu dude. She straight up came over to our house once trying to fight me, and at that point I had no idea who she was. She wanted to take out the 'competition' for some crazy reason."

"She went to your guys' place to fight you? That's fucking ridiculous. His dick can't be that good. These hoes really want that clout." I laughed taking a hit from the blunt Jess rolled.

"Pass that shit." Kelsey whined reaching for the blunt.

"His dick is pretty bomb, not going to lie. But trying to start fights over, hell no." She laughed, "You should try it out, Diego is trying to dick you down."

"Bihhhh, I don't want to go there." I rolled my eyes, Kelsey had already passed the blunt to Jess and I was waiting for her to hand it back to me. I needed to be high. I heard my phone ding, with a text. I checked who it was from

HoeAss Diego🙄💔

I clicked the lock screen, ignoring the text. I heard my phone ding again, trying to focus on the show Kelsey picked. The ding went off again, and a few minutes later and it dinged.

"Bitch just answer him, he'll blow up your phone." Jess said. "Trust me his bitchass has no shame about multiple texts."

"Ugh, fine, fine. I'll answer him." I rolled my eyes.

"Good, cause I still think he is way better than Neels for you." Kelsey said, mouth full of fries.

"Shut -up." I said as I looked through my texts from Diego.

HoeAss Diego🙄💔

alright see you in 10 minutes.

"Fuck." I groan putting my head in my hand in frustration.

"What?" Jessica asked looking away from the tv, confused.

"What did Diego say?" Kelsey asks, focused on the tv.

"Apparently he is coming over to talk shit out." I roll my eyes. "If I hide do you think he'd eventually leave?"

"HA, no. That boy is persistent as hell. If he wants to talk to you, that boy is going to talk to you." Jess says, shifting herself into a laying down position.

"Fuck, I really don't want to deal with him right now. I already have to deal with Neels coming in a couple days, so we can talk out problems out and I just am so frustrated with everything right now." I sigh, I just wanted to curl up in a ball and have a good cry.

"Neels is what?!" Kelsey snaps herself away from the tv, mouth wide opened.

"We talked earlier, and we discussed that we need to discuss things. So, you know still not fixing the problems, just acknowledging that we have problems." I sigh, close to tears, as I think about all the issues in my life now.

"Let's talk about it." Kelsey says, turning the tv off.

"I want to, but like I don't even know where to start? Last year all I wanted to do was be with Neels, I was headass over him, and now that I have him... I just don't know. It doesn't feel right, it feels like it's missing something. Like I care so much about him, but the moment we're apart I feel relief. Like being in New York with him, was amazing, I was so happy but the moment he dropped me off at the airport I felt like I could finally relax, and relationships shouldn't be like that." I feel like talking about Neels is lifting a weight off my back, like I had been holding onto all this, letting it suffocate me and now I could breathe.

"That's not a healthy relationship Mel. You shouldn't feel on edge with your partner, you should be able to relax with them, and be yourself." Jess says, pulling me into her arms.

"She's right Mel, your partner should be your best friend."

"Okay but you're apparently taken." I say giggling, trying to lighten the mood.

"Ok, but Ethan hasn't cuffed me yet, I'm still up for grabs." She laughs, winking at me.

"What do you mean he hasn't cuffed? That boy is headass in love with you and has been since he met you." I say in shock; surprised Ethan hadn't made sure Kelsey was his and only his yet.

"I mean we do all the relationship things, we just haven't labeled it. Which is fine with me, I'm happy with him, that's all I care about." She says with this lovey-dovey look in her eyes. I laugh, feeling my mood lift, and Jess playing with my hair. Everything will be okay, I think as I hear a knock-no more pound at the door.
