Robyn
2 Weeks Later
"Y'all still ain't spoke?" Mel asked
"Ya gone ask that everyday huh?" I asked taking a slice of pizza
"Well I mean, y'all had a stupid fight." Normani said eating
Though it was a stupid fight, they think Keh and I broke it off because of that whole studio lie. I couldn't tell them that it was actually all my fault with my drunk ass
actions.
"Well, that's in the past now, so."
She sighed, "Y'all would've been so cute..."
"We wouldn't have ever ended up together anyway."
"Exactly, because y'all both stubborn as hell."
"Okay, stop talkin' about it now. Her and I are done."
"You gotta address it eventually though." Mel said
I looked at her, "And why's that? I don't have her number anymore. She ain't my friend or neighbor. Ain't shit to address."
"Whatever...I still think y'all should at least get on good terms before y'all just cut each other off."
"Well, I ain't apologizin' and I know she won't either."
"Stop bein' so got damn difficult, Robs."
"Fuck that. I got nothin' to say to her, and i'm done talkin' about it." I got up and walked away
I hated thinking about her, that night, and how intoxicated how was. I didn't mean shit that I said or did, but there was nothing I could do to change that at this point.
Kehlani
"You gone share or what?" Noodz asked
I shook my head, pouring more Tequila in my glass, "Hell no. You should've told me you was comin' by."
"You know i'm always over here though, Nami."
I shrugged, "You could've been out with ya bitch today."
She rolled her eyes, "Chill out."
"Micah, why you keep letting her drink?" Ed asked walking outside
"You here more than I am. Why you keep letting her drink?"
"Can both of y'all shut the fuck up with that? Y'all don't run me."
"Alright, but still, Nami. You haven't done anything or gone anywhere in weeks. And this drinkin' shit ain't helpin'." Micah said looking at me
I started laughing.
"Um?" Ed said
"It's just funny how y'all care about me all of sudden. That's all." I said still laughing
They both looked at each other and then back to me.
"Am I lying though?" I asked laughing
"Lani...what are you talking about?" Ed asked
"That night, when I was fighting with...you know who, y'all left me for dead."
"But why we still on this? I thought we all talked about it the next morning?"
"That's not the point!" I shouted in a more serious tone, "I needed a fuckin' friend right then and there, and neither of y'all was there."
"That's your fuckin' problem though, Nami. You always expect us to drop whatever the fuck we got goin' on to tend to you!" Micah shouted
I stood up, "Don't raise your fuckin' voice at me, for real."
She stood up, "I just did. Fuck you gonna do?"
Ed got in between us, "Chill out Micah, obviously she's drunk and hurting."
"Fuck off, i'm not hurting."
Micah looked at me for awhile and sighed, "My bad."
"Your bad for what? Abandoning me?"
"Lani-" Ed started
Micah held up her finger and got closer to me, "Talk, Nami. Tell me what's up?"
"I don't even wanna talk anymore, you too late. Where were you that night? Huh? I ubered home by myself. I was home alone that night. Do you know what I could've done? What could've happened to me?"
She nodded, "You're right. I should've been there."
"You—You just don't understand how hard it was for me that night, in that moment." I felt my eyes start to water
Oh, shit. Was I about to start crying?
"What was hard?" Ed asked
"Acting like I didn't fucking care! Acting like I didn't wanna just-" I wiped my eyes, cutting myself off
"Are you talking about Rob-"
"Don't say her fucking name. She's dead to me. She hurt my feelings, yo."
"What she do?" Ed asked
"I told you, she don't want me anymore."
"How you know that though?"
I knew they were only asking so many questions because I was intoxicated, and because when we did all talk about it the following morning, I didn't tell them anything true. I told them we mutually broke it off so that I didn't look like a pussy, but I didn't care about that anymore.
"She said...dammit, Kehlani." I mumbled
"Hm?"
Next thing I knew, tears were just pouring out of me, "She disrespected me so bad y'all. I watched her make out with some bitch. Told me she was done with me. I didn't even do nothin'..."
Micah grabbed my hand.
"Why nobody want me? Am I that bad of a girlfriend?" I asked sniffing
I was drunk as hell, because I know got damn well sober Lani would never say some shit like this.
"No, you're not, Nami." Micah pulled me into a hug, "The timing for you and Robyn is just off right now. Y'all aren't ready for each other."
"She really fucking hurt me, so bad..."
"It's okay, Lani." Ed reminded me, rubbing my back
"Let's go lay down for awhile, yea?" Micah said
I nodded and wiped my eyes. They wrapped their arms around me as we entered my house.
I should've never lied to Robyn that night or my friends about what was really going on. None of this would've happened if I was just honest.
But none it that mattered anymore. Robyn and I were done.
