I find myself in a taxi outside of Mya's apartment building. I sit in the car for a few minutes, trying to control myself before I get out.
I get to her door and take a deep breath before knocking. I'm greeted by Danny and I have to force myself not to knock that stupid smirk off his face. I push past him. "Where's Mya?"
"She's in her room, putting her clothes back on," he says. And that's when I lose all control. I punch him square in the face. He stumbles, holding his bloody nose.
"Tai? What are you doing here?" Mya asks, walking towards me. "What is he doing here?" I ask.
"Mya?" Danny tries to put on this weak and helpless act. "Danny what happened?" Mya asks as she examines his nose. "Tai, did you do this?"
"Yeah I did. Why is he here?"
"I'm sorry but he-"
"No," I say, cutting her off. "You know what? I'll just leave."
"Tai please just listen!" she yells as I near the door. "Why should I listen to anything you have to say? You got this dumbass in your apartment, doing who knows what!" I yell back. "We weren't doing anything!" she yells again as a tear drops from her eye.
It takes everything in me not to wipe her cheeks. I look her straight in the eyes, which are now glossy and red, and I walk away, closing the door behind me.
Why would she do this to me? Why did I bother to come here? I get in the car and tell the driver to take me back to the airport.
After the longest ride of my life, I finally get home. I check my phone to see five missed calls from Mya. I throw my phone at the wall. It doesn't break, and I'm kinda upset that it didn't. I lay on my bed and stare at the ceiling until I fall asleep.
Mya'sPOV
I'm sitting in the middle of the floor, where Tai left me, crying, when Danny comes and puts a hand on my shoulder. "It's okay Mya."
"No it's not. Why would he think I'd eve- even th- think about cheating on him?" I say through my tears.
"I don't know," he says. "But I'm here for you okay?"
"Can you just go? Please?" I ask. "You don't want me to stay here with you? "
"No. I just wanna be alone until Marlon comes back." He nods and hugs me before leaving.
I sit on the couch in a fetal position, sobbing quietly.
"What's wrong?" Marlon says as soon as he sees me. I tell him everything that happened tonight. He doesn't say anything. He just rubs my arm while I lay my head on his lap.
I eventually go to my room and stare at the ceiling until I fall asleep.
