NEXT DAY:
Me and Jamal were walking back to our apartment after our first lecture.
Jamal: who's are those?
We both looked at each other since there was a bouquet of flowers at our front door. I would've thought it was Jamal trying to suprise me but the screw on his face right now is telling me different.
Me: maybe Cameron got them for Jada?
He took them up as we walked into the apartment. As soon as he read the note and threw them at the wall I knew who they were from. I picked them up as he walked to his room reading what it said.
'Baby girl, I'm sorry. Ty'
I put them on the counter following Jamal into his room.
Me: sorry.
Jamal: you need to tell him that you're in a relationship.
Me: I will.
Jamal: now.
Me: I can't do that right now.
Jamal: kool. We're done.
I kissed my teeth walking out of his room. Why am I even apologising to him? I have no control over what Tyree does and he knows that. If he wants to end us over something so stupid then I'm not stopping him, that's his loss.

I sat in my last lecture of the day scrolling through my phone while texting Tyrees sister Tee since they were on the way to the airport right now. I haven't spoken to Tyree and Tees already told me he hasn't said much to his family either but I'm not going to message him, I refuse to be the bigger person right now.
Jamal didn't turn up to the lecture which doesn't suprise me since we haven't spoke since he broke up with me a couple of hours ago.
Marcus: what have I missed?
I looked up at Marcus screwing as he came and sat beside me.
Me: the whole lecture. It finishes in 5 minutes.
Marcus: I know.
Me: so why bother coming in?
Marcus: i just wanted to show my face.
I rolled my eyes as he sat grinning at me.
Marcus: what's up with you?
Me: why are you beside me when you know I don't like you?
Marcus: I don't understand why you hate me so much. All I did was help my boy out.
Me: by throwing me under the bus?
Marcus: he asked me a question and I answered it. It's not my fault you got caught fucking around that's on you.
I stuck my middle finger up to him packing my things away since everyone started walking out. Just as I swung my bag over my shoulder Marcus pulled it back down taking it.
Marcus: I'm not trying to come at you or anything. I know you're a nice person, I don't want to be your enemy.
Me: why don't you just leave me alone.
Marcus: because we've got at least another month of working together on this assignment and I don't want to be arguing with you about your relationship which has nothing to do with me.
Me: fine. Apology accepted.
He slowly nodded giving me my bag back as we walked out.
Marcus: so do you want to go to the library and work on our assignment?
Me: I have work right now.
Marcus: oh alright then.
I tried to speed my walking up but he somehow still caught up with me.
Me: Marcus what do you want?
Marcus: can I have your notes from the lesson please?
Me: no you decided not to show up until the last 5 minutes.
Marcus: please. I'll make it up to you.
I rolled my eyes giving him my notes from out of my bag.
Marcus: thank you. I'll give you them back later on.
**
I walked into the staff room at work trying to ignore the fact that Jamal was sitting right there across the room on his phone. We still haven't spoken since the flower situation earlier this morning and he's been avoiding me ever since. I know he has trust issues from his last relationship but he can't be bringing them into our relationship or we're going to just keep breaking up to make up until one of us has enough.
Stephen: Marni some guy called Marcus is at the front asking for you.
Me: okay, I'll be out in a second.
I couldn't help but notice Jamal's head shoot up. He stood up walking out just before I could.
*
As expected, Jamal was out there talking to Marcus as if he was the one that Marcus asked to speak to.
Me: what's up?
Marcus: just bringing your notes back.
Me: so where are they?
Marcus: your boys got them.
I looked at Jamal screwing.
Me: he's not my boy anymore.
Marcus: since when.
Marcus' jaw dropped as he looked at Jamal who is now screwing me.
Me: can I have my notes please?
He once again ignored me.
Marcus: bro what happened?
Stephen: Marni can you get something for me please.
I left Jamal and Marcus to find out what Stephen needed.
Stephen: I need a size 6&7 in these please.
I nodded walking to the store cupboard. As I was searching through I felt arms around my waist.
Jamal: why would you tell Marcus that?
Me: it's the truth.
Jamal: that's not his business.
Me: you ended it with me. I can tell who I want.
He squinted his eyes at me until I turned back around looking for the trainer's that Stephen needed.
Jamal: I did it for a reason.
Me: good for you.
I was about to leave but he wouldn't take his arms from around my waist.
Jamal: you need to stop being so stubborn and we need to talk about this.
Me: how about you stop breaking up with me everytime you get mad.
Jamal: how about you don't get me mad. You know how my last relationship went Marni I don't need that stress again.
Me: how about I'm not her.
Jamal: how about I know that.
Me: ... then act like it.
DON'T FORGET TO VOTE AND COMMENT! ☺️
