Can't Stop Fucking With You

Chapter 28

Elijah

When I walked into the house I heard talking and sniffling coming from the bathroom. I walked to the bathroom silently so I won't disturb them. When I got there I just listened. They were ranting and venting about the past... and present?

"I wanted to kill my self again," I heard as they took a deep breath. "I haven't even done that since the summer before 6th grade," they said sniffling again.

"Krystal, ?" I said softly cracking the door open. Her head snapped to me as she wiped the tears that were still streaming down her face.

"Huh ? Yes Elijah, ?" she said washing her face and putting some water in her eyes for some reason. She turned to face me afterward. Now I know why she did it. Her eyes are not that red anymore. It'll look like she never even cried if I hadn't just seen her.

"Baby, come here," I said holding out my arms. She looked at me sadly while walking slowly to me, wrapping her arms around my torso. I kissed her head. "Can you tell me why you're crying and why you didn't want me to see ?" I already knew the answer to the second one, but not the first. She said she was so "fine" so I just don't understand why she's crying or crying about.

"I just had a moment. I'm fine now. Where did you go anyways, ?" she asked looking up at me.

"Just had to take care of some business but can you actually answer my questions, ?" I asked looking down at her as she broke eye contact with me right after I said that.

"It's...nothing," she lied. I sighed.

"Krystal, you have to talk to me about these things especially if we're together," I explained.

"It's nothing, I swear. I just broke down for a moment. I've only been crying for less than 10 minutes," she told me. As if that was any better.

"Krystal-"

"Listen, Elijah, I love you but what I go through, I go through myself. I don't need anybody else to go through it with me and please don't give me sympathy if I ever tell you anything close to my personal business," she said seriously. I nodded my head and kissed her forehead.

I guess I'll just have to wait until she's ready then ?

Krystal

When I realized Elijah was going to be gone for a while, I started thinking. Every once in a while you need to cry and so today I did. I cried over 5 minutes this time though only because I kept thinking and kept going into my past.

When he caught me I was really thrown off. I had to rush and wipe my tears. I was about to be finished when he called my name. I don't know what all he had heard and I kind of don't want to know. If he's seriously worried about anything I said he'll ask. Right ?

Anyway, tomorrow I'm going to have a talk with Zay. He makes it seem like I'm a child and we're going to have the birds and the bees talk. I've never understood that maybe I've never had the talk, but anyway that's what it felt and reminded me of. He said it's about something serious? and to not to bring anybody else. I wasn't really planning on it since he said we were having "a talk." I was planning on doing my hair tomorrow, but I guess I'll do it tonight instead. I'll do a simple natural hairstyle.

<Next day>

I'm currently getting dressed to meet with Zay. I'm driving Elijah's car to wherever we're going because I just have the address. Not really the name, but I trust Zay. He and Diamond should be working on things, but I'm not for sure.

I had to finish taking out my twist then I'll be on my way. I had to drive only about 15 minutes to get there. I'm wearing these leggings with this short sleeve baggy shirt. Since we weren't going to be in public this time. I sighed frustrated that my hair wouldn't do right. After about another 5 minutes, I got it right.

I left the building and was on my way. I told Elijah where I was going so he had no reason to worry. I left and I got to a coffee shop? It was like an off-brand one to me. But hey I'm just here to talk so I sat down at a table waiting for Zay to come out.

He came over like 30 seconds after I sat down. He had two coffees in his hands as he sat down giving me one. I don't really drink coffee, but he already bought it so I'm going to have to drink it now.

"Krystal are you okay, ?" he asked looking concerned.

"yeaaah...Should I not be ?"

"No your vibe just isn't the same," he explained.

"M-my vibe's off ?"

"Yes very and now you're stuttering what's the problem, ?" he asked not taking his eyes off me.

"There's no problem Zay," I tried to tell him. "But how have you been ? I haven't been able to text you the past couple days, sorry about that," I said taking a sip of my coffee.

He sighed in defeat as he answered my question.

We talked for what felt like an hour which was just 30 minutes. We were laughing then all of a sudden a women walked up all friendly.

"Oh hey Zay, who's your new girl, ?" the really friendly lady said. I looked at Zay and he looked scared and nervous ? I removed the hand I was resting on to see Diamond.

"Diamond, ?" I exclaimed. She snapped her head towards me and gasped.

"Oh, so that's how it is ? Y'all really gone do me like this, ?" she said in disbelief. I looked at her confused for a second before catching on.

"No, we're not doing that," I tried to explain. "We were just talking," I sighed deeply not really wanting to cause a scene in front of the couple people that were here.

"Forget it. I thought we were sisters."

"Wait, Diamond," I called after her.

"Krystal I called you over here because I found out that you got kidnapped," Zay said as I turned to him.

"You what, ?" I questioned.

"Krystal you got...kidnapped, ?" Diamond asked.

I sighed, " Who the fuck told you," I asked getting annoyed.

"I said I found out," he repeated.

"No, nobody would've known because only one person knew. Now tell me who or we're going to have to talk about this later and it isn't going to pretty, if I have to get it out of you a different way," I warned.

He sighed, " Elijah," he said in a whisper.

"Oh okay I got sum for that," I said nodding my head.

"Krystal, why the hell you ain't tell me, ?" Diamond asked now in my face.

"I ain't tell you a couple of things, but hell this one don't matter, ain't nobody knew," I said lifting my arms up for dramatic effect.

"I should've known you and Zay had something and that you got kidnapped. You're my sister and we need to know everything about each other," she said sounding white as fuck.

I sighed annoyed, "NOBODY WANTS ZAY'S ASS-We're just best friends. We barely hang out by ourselves, we're always with Nick," I tried to explain again. She looked at me confused for a second.

"Nick, ?" she asked me like I didn't just say his name.

"Nick. The nigga I stayed with when Elijah acted a fool," I said trying to see if that would've jogged her memory. I sighed when I realized she must've forgotten. "Forget it. Zay, don't worry about me, I'm fine," I faked smiled. "We can talk about it maybe later if you're really worried," I said grabbing my stuff and heading to the car.

"Wait Kryst-" Zay called as I closed my door.

I closed my eyes and sighed deeply once I was settled. I need to go on a long ass car ride just listening to music.
