For this week.

I "meant the world" to him but I'm still hurting over him.

Flashback ;

"Stop Pharaoh,"I giggled after being tickled for what seemed like eternity.

"No you wanted to be big and bad,"he threw me on my bed.

"Ok I'm sorry,"I laughed touching his face as he hovered over my body.

I've never looked directly into his brown eyes but you can't see anything through them. No emotion.

"You're beautiful,"he said barely above a whisper.

I flicked the back of his head making him suck his teeth as I laughed.

He picked me up and twirled us around while I was in his embrace. His dumbass of course had to trip making us fall.

"You're so idiotic,"my head rested on his beating heart

His hands tangled with mine while the words left my mouth,"I love you,"

;

He didn't say it back and I told him I didn't expect him to. I expressed how I felt but he didn't react how I thought he would.

He left like his mom left him. He left like he forgot who I was. Did he even care about me?

"Hey Z,"Ahmir smiled lightly once I let him inside away from the cold.

"Hey,"I said barely above a whisper.

"I'm not gonna ask if you're ok because obviously you're not—"

"Then why are you here?"I scoffed.

"Because you need a friend right now,"he hugged me making me grow more overwhelmed by the second and start crying.

"Why does he continue to do me so dirty?"I sniffled.

"He doesn't know any better and that's not an excuse on behalf of him. He doesn't know how to show emotion well. You can't expect much from him because he'll be there one day and be gone the next,"

"I'm so stupid for falling for him,"I sighed.

"Every girl that has ever been with him intimately has felt the same way as you,"

"Can I just be alone for right now? I appreciate you coming to check on me though,"I said to him.

"Aight. Cheer up, you don't deserve to be crying ova' a nigga,"he said hugging me tight and wiping tears away.

He left and I cried myself to sleep that night. My phone was blowing up with people tagging me in a video of him in Los Angeles with Queen which hit hard as hell.

;

  The following morning people were asking where I was because I was cooped up with him when he was sick but now that he's all better he's back with Queen.

I turned my phone off and laptop then decided on just watching Netflix.

  After watching a few movies I went on a walk with Bronx to the park.

When we got there I tied his leash to the pole nearest to me and got on the swings like a little kid.

"Mind if I join playa?"Chancellor's voice said.

I smiled,"It's been a minute so why not?"

He got on and looked at me confused,"You've been crying buddy. Wassup?"
