Still Adjusting (New Adjustments part 2)

*DRIA'S POV*

"Are you going to tell me what happened?" Alex asked as we drove home after that altercation with Jada and Trey.

I looked up at the night sky and looked at the moon. It's a waning crescent tonight and it looks so beautiful. Like it was just drawing me in.

"D, what's up?" He asked again.

I looked at him with sadness in my eyes. "I don't know what happened. I just lost it." I told him.

He looked at me for a second then back at the road. "What did Trey do? And who was that chick? If you don't wanna talk about it, I won't press it. But you know I'm here for you." He grabbed my hand and kissed the back of it then held it for a second.

"I was looking for him and found him in the room kissing Jada. Who is his ex girlfriend from freshman year." I told him.

"What the hell!? Ima beat his ass!" My brother is my biggest protector. I swear it!

"I cussed his ass out. I didn't want to get all worked up because...I would lose it. So as I was about to leave, that hoe Jada started talking shit about mom and dad. Then...I couldn't contain myself."

Alex swerved a little as he looked at me. "This bitch has the fucking nerve! Let me turn around and teach her a fucking lesson."

"Nah, don't. I taught her a few but I don't think she was playing much attention. Anyway I'm done with all that bullshit. I hate drama. I hate being caught up in some bullshit." I told him as he turned onto our street.

He inhaled a deep breath and then let it out. "I'm sorry you had to go through that tonight. I wish I could somehow make things better for you or get your mind off of this."

I looked at him and smiled. "I know. I would do the same for you. We're twins, that's how we are."

"Well I will always be the better twin soooo..." He parked the car in the driveway and turned it off. He grabbed his jacket from the back seat and his tie and got out the car.

I grabbed my shoes and did the same. We walked into the house.

*The next morning*

I opened my eyes and just stared at the ceiling. What am I going to do? I love him so much but seeing him kiss some other girl? Who he has history with? That hurts. Like he was kissing her for a minute before I interrupted them. I can't fucking believe this! How could he do that?!?

As I thought about what happened last night, my eyes started to water. I hate that he does this to me. I hate it! But...I still love him. So much! "Damnit!"

"Watch your mouth!" My momma said as she walked passed my room.

I didn't know I said that out loud. Oops.

Knock Knock

"Who is it?" I asked.

Que poked his head in and smiled at me. "Can I come in?"

"Sure, what's up?" I asked as I sat up. He walked in, closed the door behind him and sat in front of me.

"I heard about what went down last night. You good?"

I gave him a weak smile. "Yea, I mean as good as I'll ever be at this point."

He reached over and gave me hug. My eyes started to water and he pulled back and looked me right in my eyes. "D you know I love you and you will always have that special place in my heart. I'm here for you through whatever. If you need me to beat his ass, I got you. Trust me."
