Two Broken People

Chapter 20

Layla

I laughed as Yamaree told me a story about her ex. "That nigga ain't shit. Fuck him and the bitch he tried to replace me with. With his shrimp dick ass. The only thing he was good at was head.", she said shaking her head.

The bell rung saying some body walked in. We looked. I smiled hard as fuck because it's Josiah and Amillia with a bag of food I'm guessing. He really brought me some food.

Everybody looked at him like they wanted to fuck him. I'm not surprised. Lowkey, I wanna fuck him but I'm not. Not yet anyways. I wonder if he got a big dick.

I stood up and waited on them to make it to me. When they did I hugged them. "Hey.", Josiah said as we hugged. Amillia sat in my chair after we hugged.

"Hey.", I said as we let go. "You actually brung me some lunch.", I said as he gave me my bag.

"I told you that I would. It's from a soul food restaurant."

"I love soul food."

"I know.", he said. I smiled and looked down. "I gotta get back to work. I'll talk to you later.", he said.

"Okay.", I said.

"Come on Princess." Amillia stood up and hugged me, I hugged her back. Me and Josiah hugged then he kissed my head. They left. After they did everybody looked at me.

"What?", I asked as I sat down.

...

While I was braiding my last braid somebody walked in the shop. I didn't look up. "This bitch got the nerve.", Yamaree said. I finished the braid then looked up and saw the bitch he left me for, Tasha, walking to me.

"I need my hair done.", Tasha said.

"You're telling me because?", I asked.

"You're the only one that do my hair good. I need you to do my hair."

"You gotta find somebody else." She just looked at me. "Problem?" She huffed and walked away. Yamaree mugged her hard as fuck as she did. "I'm done boo." The girl stood up and looked in the mirror.

"I love it.", she said smiling. "What did you use on my edges? I can never get them laid like this.", she said looking closer at her edges. I showed her what I used. "Where did you get it?", she asked taking the container.

"Online, just look up the name. It's a bit on the expensive side but it's worth it.", I said. She shook her head up and down then took a picture. She gave me the container then went into her purse. She got money and gave it to me with a tip.

"I'm tellin' all my friends to come here." I smiled.

"Thanks."

"I'll see you in a few months.", she said.

"Okay.", I said smiling. She left and I sat down. My phone started ringing. I grabbed it and answered it as I went to the back.

Me:Hello?
Unknown:Hello, is this Layla?
Me:Yes.

It turns out whoever was on the phone was from a hospital and it turns out that Jermane was in an accident.

I'm about to go up there when I get off.

Yeah he left me for her, yeah he hurt me but I still love and care for him.

Jermane

"Baby I'm sorry.", Tasha cried holding my hand. I woke up not that long ago. I snatched my hand away. She got on her knees. "Baby I didn't mean to say it I swear.", she cried holding her hands together.

"It's over.", I said as Layla walked in.

"What about Asia?", Tasha asked crying. I honestly forgot about Asia. That's fucked up.

"Are you okay?", Layla asked walking to me.

"Baby please. Let me fix this. Let me fix this."

"Layla?", I asked shocked. Why is she here? I don't deserve her. I really don't. She shouldn't be here. "Leave.", I said acting mad. She looked at me confused. "Leave! Are you stupid or somethin'? I don't want you! I want my family.", I said grabbing Tasha's hand.

"W-what?", Layla asked with tears in her eyes.

"Bitch get out!", I yelled making her jump. Layla turned around and walked out crying. I just laid there as Tasha got in bed with me, watching the only one who truly loved and cared for me walk out of my life.
