Broken Pieces

Chapter 8

Ari

  "I still think that you should still call him, Ari." Justice said, sitting next to me on her couch.

"For what though Jay? I feel so stupid." I replied.

I'm not going to lie at all, last night was amazing. I don't regret anything that I've done with Bricks, not even the accidental kisses, I just don't want to fall for him and end up hurt again. When I woke up this morning, there were a million thoughts racing through my mind and I kept asking myself "What if this is all he wanted?" I figured I was driving myself crazy so I got dressed and called Justice to come get me.

"At least let him say what he has to say." She said and I shook my head.

"What if it's something bad though Jay? I'm not scared of confrontation, but I am when it's him, I just don't want to be let down." I said.

"You won't know until you talk to him Ari, you can't keep running from every situation and hiding your feelings. Just talk to him." She said and I nodded.

"And I don't know why you trying to play hide and seek with his crazy ass anyway, he will find you before you find him." She said and I scrunched my face before I heard loud beating on her door. "Told you. I'll be in my room if you need back up." She said, getting up and walking toward her bedroom. I smacked my lips and walked toward the door, that was still getting beat down.

"Who is it !?" I yelled through the door.

"Yo open the fucking door!!" I heard, making me jump. "Ariana I'm not fucking playing open this door now!" I heard as he continued to beat on the door and it sounded like it was going to break. I quickly unlocked the door and before I could even snatch it open it had already been opened from the other side.

"Yo what the fuck is up with you!?" Bricks yelled, grabbing my arm as he closed the door with his foot and I just stood there scared as hell.

"TALK! I bet ya ass had so much to say when you left tho huh!? Fuck is wrong with you Ariana!? I been looking for you for hours!" He yelled and I felt my eyes began to water before he smacked his lips and let me go , walking pass me and into the kitchen.

"Yo I ain't got time for ya shit, deadass. If anyone should be crying it should be me. I THOUGHT SOMETHING HAPPENED TO YOU!" He yelled again.

  "Bricks I'm sorry." I finally said and he shook his head.

  "Get ya shit, we leaving." He said. "But i'm here with Justice" I said and he scrunched his face. "Ariana get your shit, I'm not gon ask again." He said and I nodded, walking over grabbing my purse and shoes.

  Once I was finished putting my shoes on, I walked pass him as he mugged me, and out the door.

  The whole walk to the car was silent, but he still walked over and opened the door for me before he got in. I wondered if he was done talking about it cause he didn't say anything the entire car ride.

  Afted a couple of minutes, we arrived at my place. He quickly parked and hopped out, before walking over letting me out, and then walking toward the building.

  Once we made it inside, Bricks greeted the old woman at the front desk, smiling at her, and typed the code in before we stepped onto the elevator and after a few seconds stepped back off.

  Once I took my shoes off I felt Bricks grab my arm again, and started walking through the house, before we made it to my bedroom.

  "Sit down." He said and I nodded, sitting on the bed, as he closed and locked the door, before walking over sitting his gun and phone on the dresser, and walking back over sitting on the bed.
