Made to be Together [Lonzo Ball]

1️⃣4️⃣

Lonzo's POV

I stared at Aaliyah as she laid on my chest sleeping peacefully. I can't believe that I could've lost the love of my life tonight. If you look at Aaliyah, you would never know that she suffers from what she does. She's always seemed so happy and so chill. But you never know what a person silently goes through....and she'll never have to go through it alone.

I looked over at her alarm clock to check the time. It's only 2 am so I tried to relax my mind and get some sleep, but I couldn't.

I felt Aaliyah move around a little so I looked down at her and she's now awake staring up at me.

"Why are you staring at me?" I asked her. She smiled and kissed my bare chest.

"Just wondering how I got so lucky to have you in my life." She said then laid her head back down on my chest and soon enough she was asleep again.

My phone started vibrating on the night stand and So I picked it up.

I seen it was Denise and i got so fucking mad at her for what she did to Aaliyah and if she wasn't pregnant with my child, then I wouldn't have answered but unfortunately........

"Yeah?"

"Where are you?!" She screamed.

I jerked my phone away from my ear as her screechy ass voice rang out.

"It's really None of your business where I'm at."

"Lonzo, I'm not playing with you tonight. Where are you?" She repeated like that's gonna make me tell her anything.

"Denise, I am a grown ass man and I can go wherever the fuck I want to go. You are NOT my girlfriend or my mother or my father and I'm not explaining a fucking thing to you. Now, do you have an actual reason why you're calling me?"

"No...."

"Okay then. Bye."

I hung up the phone and wrapped my arms around Aaliyah and fell asleep.

Kyle's POV

It's 4 in the morning and I should be asleep but I can't sleep knowing that I hurt my best friend, my sister. She wanted to end her life and part of it is my fault. The things I said to her.... the things I did to her.... those are unforgivable and lord knows what would've happened if I wasn't there tonight.

My phone rang and I picked it up. It was my mom.....maybe Aaliyah told her what I did and I'm ready for whatever my mom's about to say.

"Hey mama."

"Hey, How is she?"

"She's asleep with Zo. I don't know how he knows but he does."

"I told him.... I sent him over to check on her."

I guess she doesn't know that this is mainly my fault but I'm about to tell her. I sat up in my bed and took a deep breath.

"Mama....I need to tell you something."

"What is it Kyle?"

"She tried to kill herself because of me."

The line got quiet for a minute then she spoke again.

"What did you do to her?"

I explained everything to her and I waited for about 5 minutes for my mom to respond. I pulled the phone away from my ear to see if she hung up on me but she didn't.

"Mama..."

"Kyle Alexander! Why would you do that when you know what your sister is going through? Do you know how much she looks up to you and loves you?!"

"Yes ma-"

"Shut up and let me finish."

I got quiet and dropped my head.

"You're so fucking stupid and insensitive. Why in the name of the good lord did you think that it was okay to even put your hands on a woman? I raised you better than that!"

"I know mom.... I don't have any explanation to why I did what I did."

"If she has any bruises, Kyle Alexander Kuzma, I swear that I will kill you." She threatened. I didn't have the heart to tell her that I accidentally left bruises on her so stayed quiet but she picked up on it anyway.

"She does doesn't she?"

"Yes ma'am." I answered quietly.

"BOY! just wait til I see you. I'm gonna tear your ass up. I'll be on the First flight tomorrow morning. I'm done talking to you. Goodnight."

She hung up before I even had a chance to respond. I laid back down and turned over where my back was towards the door and tried to fall asleep.

Dennis's POV (whoops. I mean Denise 🤷🏽‍♀️)

"Oh my god Kaliah. Why did I listen to you?!"

I said as I rubbed circles on my stomach.

"You want him back don't you?" She asked.

We had devised a plan to make Aaliyah and Zo break up I didn't know that she'd try to hurt herself and now I feel bad.

"Yeah. But not like this.... she tried to hurt herself last night Kay and I feel really freaking bad about this."

Kaliah gave me a "So?" Look and it pissed me off. I'm done trying to break them up. They're happy and he doesn't want me anymore. I have to accept it.

"He's happy with her. Every time he says her name, he doesn't stop smiling. I'm letting him go. For real this time Kaliah. They belong together, I'm just having his child."

"Okay....you're having his first born. She's not. You obviously hold leverage. Let's think of something else we can do to-"

"NO KALIAH!" I yelled, making her jump a little. I'm beyond frustrated at this point. "I just said I'm done."

"I thought you loved him."

"I do....and I want him to be happy even if it's not with me. So no....I'm not gonna sit here and devise a plan to ruin their lives. I'm better than that and you need to grow up. But until you do, then I don't want you around me. Goodbye."

"Denise I didn't mean to upset you. I'm just trying to help."

"Then leave these people alone. Zo went ring shopping for her. He's in love with her and I'm not gonna try to ruin it for them. Yes, this is a hard pill to swallow but it's time to let him go." I said as I stood up and headed upstairs. "Let yourself out."
