Krystal

After work, I decided to go back to Elijah's place. I wasn't even mad anymore. We got off quite early actually. We get there and I went to the restroom for like 2 minutes. I come out and Sierra's here. He's got to be kidding me. I didn't let it bother me. I was going to have a good day today, yes sir. I came out and just sat on the couch. They were engaged in a wonderful and lovely conversation while I just waited. Note the sarcasm too. My phone dinged and then they turned to me but quickly turned back. I got a message from Nick. That made me feel better.

Nick💜: Hey is this Krystal ?

: Yes sir it is.

Nick💜: Okay good.

: What ? You thought I'd give you a fake number ?

Nick💜: I mean...kind of.

: Why ? Do I seem like that type ?

Nick💜: No ofc not. Just no pretty girl has given me their number to be so willingly.

(Ofc= of course)

:Oh thank you😊. You don't look too bad yourself, but we got along so well and you let me vent to you. Ofc I wouldn't give you a fake number.

Nick💜: Thank you, but do you really agree with that or are you just saying that ?

This guy has some serious issues. I do too, but he's just so sweet I couldn't do anything bad to him.

: I mean it. You were so nice to me.

Nick💜: Who wouldn't be ?

I blushed when I read that. But shortly afterward Darius texted me about 3 times, causing my phone to ding each time drawing attention

"Who's blowing up your phone, ?" Elijah asked.

"No one," I answered.

"Elijah boo, you already know she doesn't have any friends," Sierra butted in.

"Actually, one's you're boyfriend Sierra," I shrugged looking back down at his texts.

"Oh so you're cheating on Elijah too, ?" she questioned. T00 ? What the fuck is she talking about ?

"Too, ?" I raised my eyebrow. By this time Elijah has gone to the restroom so we're alone during this whole conversation.

"Oh yes honey, and I think I might be pregnant," she smiled happily.

"When did y'all hook up ?"

"The night he went out to the bar, then, and last night," she shrugged then pulled out her phone.

That was it. I'm gone and I know exactly where I'm going to go. I told him last time, if he did it again he's never going to speak to me again. It hurt but I had to keep the promise I made to myself. I couldn't let him hurt me continuously. Especially since I've never done anything to him in return. Texting that boy telling him he wasn't so bad was nothing. I was just being nice, it was true though too.

I went and grabbed my still packed bag and just tossed a couple more clothed items I had there in it. I don't know what Elijah was doing in the bathroom but I just needed two more minutes and that's what he gave me to get out. I turned off my location once I got outside. I texted Nick and ask him for a favor.

: Nick I know we just met but please can you come pick me up, I really need to get away.

Nick💜: Yes ofc you're apartment ?

: Yes, do you need the address again ?

Nick💜: Uhh no I think it saved in the app I'll be there in about 15 minutes.

: Okay, I'll be waiting.

I went into my apartment and just sat there waiting. Thinking of everything. Why he did it ? Why with her ? Was I not good enough for him ? Everything I ever had that wasn't hers so she always found a way to get. It was like ever since I went out with her ex, which I don't even claim anymore, we've had this feud. I didn't really have any problem with her, to be honest.

My phone dinged which brought me out of headspace. Nick was outside. I went out and immediately hopped inside. I told him everything that happened on the way to his place.

We made it inside and I immediately hugged him and let a few tears fall. He carried me to, I'm guessing, his bedroom and laid me in his bed. He tucked me in like a child and started to walk away.

"Wait, stay," I said with tears forming in my eyes once again. He walked over to me and whipped my previous tears.

"Okay, but I have to go pick up so more people tonight," he said getting in bed with me. I scooted over closer to him and turned to face him. We stared into each other's eyes which felt like an eternity. I wanted to stay and look into them forever. It was like you could get lost in them. That moment broke unfortunately when his phone dinged. He looked at it then back up at me. I made my sad face sticking out my bottom lip.

"Aww baby, I-I mean Krystal, I told you I had to go soon." I shook my head and wrapped my arms around him because I really didn't want to be alone right now. He sighed.

"I have to go it's going to take an hour at most. Okay ?" I didn't want him to leave, but I knew he had to. I sighed and nodded.

"But what am I suppose to do while you're gone ?"

"Doesn't matter. The tv remote for this one is on my dresser and the one for the living room is on the table," he told me getting up putting his shoes back on. I let out a deep breath.

I just sat in bed then I heard the door close. I was officially alone by myself. I was thinking once again until my phone kept going off earning a groan from me. I picked up my phone seeing Elijah's name pop up. I sighed. It took everything in me to not respond.

Elijah: Baby ?

Elijah: Where'd you go ?

Elijah: Please come back

Elijah: What did I do ?

Since he wants to act dumb and play me like I'm a fool. Imma act as well. He wanna be funny ? I'm finna be hilarious.
