"We met in the 5th grade, we were on the playground and some dudes was picking on her, calling her ugly and shit, so I tried to stick up for her, Mari swore she had it but as soon as she pushed one of the boys, they slapped her and gave her a mark o...
I woke up to reruns of Shameless on tv, I must have fell asleep watching it. I sat up on the couch with nothing on but my towel from earlier. I heard the door open, and hurried in the room to put some clothes on.
I came out and Calvin was in the kitchen with some girl. I don't know why but I got jealous asf.
"Um Hi Cal, how was work?"
"Good h-" The girl cut him off before he could finish.
"Hi I'm his sister Ciara" she held out her hand for me to shake.
"Oh hi I'm Mariana, nice to meet you"
"She's pretty Calvin" Ciara tried to whisper to him but I heard her. I chuckled a little, he started to blush.
"How was your day beautiful?" He asked sitting in the chair at the kitchen table.
"Good, just watched reruns of Shameless"
"Omg I love that show!" He sounded so happy to have something in common with me. He glanced at his sister like he wanted her to leave. She looked back at him with a sort of stank face. "Well okay, I know when I'm not wanted, nice to meet you Mariana"
"You too" she walked out and he turned to me.
"So I was wondering something, you like icecream?"
I smiled, I was craving some Sea Salt Caramel Vanilla ice cream.
"Yeah I love ice cream"
"Well let's go" he reached his hand out for me to grab it, I didn't hesitate. We walked out the door and started to walk. "So Mari?" He paused. "I can call you Mari right?" I smirked. "Yeah of course" "So Mari, I remember you saying you were visiting, when do you go back?"
Honestly I haven't even thought about going back, I kind of didn't want to. "I go back at the end of the week"
"Oh well let's enjoy our time while we can" he smiled at me, god this man is so fine!
We finally walked into the ice cream shop around the corner from his house. I instantly ran up to the glass to see what kind I wanted, there was so many. He walked up behind me, "get whatever you want love" I pointed to the exact ice cream I was craving for.
"Can I get a single scoop of the Sea Salt Caramel Vanilla on a waffle cone" I smiled at him.
"And for you?" The lady asked him, he looked at me and smiled as well. "I'll have the same" he grabbed my hand again, as soon as we turned to go sit down, I came face to face with Jo'Siah and Aniya.
Jo'Siah's POV
I decided to take Aniya out, I still didn't feel like an apology was enough to explain to her how sorry I was. As for Mari, I'm not gonna lie, I gave up on her an decided to give me and Aniya a try, I know its fucked up but Mari clearly didn't care about us enough to answer my fucking calls or texts so forget it.
I grabbed Aniya's hand and we walked into this 24hour ice cream shop. As soon as we stepped in, we walked straight into Mari and some nigga she was with. She was all on him holding his hand, I got fucking heated, I mean blood boiling heated.
No one spoke for a minute before whoever this nigga was said something to her.
"Aye love, you Good?" He whispered to her and when I tell you I almost smacked his ass when he called her that, man!
"Yeah I'm good, come on" she brushed pass us and didn't say anything else. Until of course Aniya opened her big ass mouth.
"Aye Sis, guess what? If I wasn't fucking your man before, I am now!" Aniya screamed towards Mari, then grabbed my face an tongued me. You could tell Mari was pissed, she ran up to Niya and stuck her dead in her shit. Aniya stumbled back before swinging on Mari and connecting with her Jaw.
"Yo wtf" I grabbed Aniya before she could hit her again.
"Nah let her go, let her fuck ass go" I let her go and Mari tackled her to the floor, sending blows left and right, knowing Mari she wasn't stopping till she either made Niya unconscious or worse, killed her ass. Before I could pull Mari off, ole boy ran up to her, gripping her waist to pull her off. Before he could, I ran up on him and punched his was, he held his jaw for a minute before sending one back to me. I went to hit his was again but Mari got in front of him, holding his face, trying to calm him down.
"You a foul ass bitch" I screamed to Mari. She slapped my ass and I returned it with more force, she started crying.
"Calvin dont!" I turned back around to look back at them and felt a cold piece of metal on my forehead between my eyes.
"Fucking apologize homeboy" he pressed the gun harder again my face.
"Bro you a pussy, you ain't gonna do shit if I don't" he cocked the gun back.
"I said to fucking apologize"
I laughed at his fool ass. "No bro"
He pointed the gun at my leg and shot. "AHHHH FUCK" I dropped to the floor, holding pressure on my leg. He pointed the gun back at my head. "You got one more time before I kill your ass homie"
"Ughh okay! Mari I'm sorry, okay I'm fucking sorry, I'm sorry I wasn't there for you when Damian was beating on you, I'm sorry I didn't realize it when you started cutting again, I'm sorry I cheated on you with your sister, I'm sorry your having a baby by a fucking deadbeat, I'm sorry that you fell in love me and I'm sorry that I told you I loved you but never showed it"
I looked Mari in the face and she had tears in her eyes, before she could say anything, Calvin grabbed her hand and they ran out.
Calvin's POV
I couldn't even process what the fuck just happened. I felt bad for shooting him after I found out that was Mari baby daddy. Shit I fucked up. I seen police lights from down the street, I grabbed Mari hand and we ran out. Luckily they passed right by us.
Mari was walking slow asf, so I picked her up over my shoulder and ran back to the house. We got in and I sat her on the couch, she had a busted lip so I got her an ice pack and put it on her lip for her. She hasn't said anything since all that shit went down.
"Mari you good?" It's like she was in a daze, I snapped my finger in front of her and she came out if it.
"Yeah?" She finally spoke.
"Mari, are you okay?" This ain't the first time she been weird like this, I was lovely worried about her.
"I'm fine, can you go in my bag and get me my makeup bag out of it please" she grabbed the blanket from beside her and covered up, I tucked her in and did what I was asked. As I was walking out to give her her bag, a bottle of pills fell out of it. I picked them up and read the bottle to myself.
"Opioids" I ran my hand over my face, man what the fuck!
