A short series of one shots based off of kehlani's EP "while we wait"
Disclaimer: they're all pretty sappy bc while we wait be putting me in my feelings.
"Cheers to being honest, neither of us knew what we wanted"
In which they have been together since middle school and he suddenly breaks it off thinking that it's better for their relationship
______
"You should never go to college in a relationship" her mother words rang out in her head as she wiped her tears, she should've listened maybe she wouldn't be sitting here crying over a nigga that didn't care about her as much as she cared about him.
Her and Zion had been together since eighth grade, middle school to high school sweethearts. She figured they would get married one day, start a family. Now her future wasn't looking so bright.
She wasn't exactly sure when things started going south, she noticed the sudden shift in their relationship but figured they would be right back on track as pure usual of them. Was it the distance? Sure Stanford and UCLA weren't right up the street like how their houses had been when they still lived at home but it wasn't like they were in different states. Was it the arguments, they had been arguing way more than usual, she thought back to their last one..

"I'm just saying Zion, you never put in the effort to see me, the least you could do is drive five something hours that I drive every weekend" she yelled into the phone, they were FaceTiming but of course he had her paused so he couldn't even see how hurt she was.
"Kennedy nobody tells you to drive five hours down here every weekend" he sounded frustrated and she knew without even seeing his face that he looked it "my parents aren't paying for my college education so excuse me if I don't have the cash to be blowing on gas money to see you"
Ouch. That had hurt but she brushed it off to him being upset and that he didn't really mean it.
"I drive that long because I want to see you, I love you and I hate not being around you like how we used to be." She felt tears welling in her eyes and she was sure she was being overdramatic but her feelings were hurt "I just be missing you"
"I miss you too babe" he said as he cut the camera back on looking her right in her eyes "not seeing each other for one or two weekends doesn't mean we don't love each other" she nodded her head, she knew she looked foolish and was probably giving off clingy vibes but she was stupidly head over heels in love with this boy and driving five hours to see him was the least of what sacrifices she would make for him.

Too bad he didn't feel the same way, and that showed in his actions from that point on, the short phone calls and FaceTimes, the no replies to texts, no more cute good morning or goodnight texts. She figured it was just him being stressed out it was exam month and everyone was busy cramming as much knowledge from the semester as they could into their heads before exams. But the icing on the cake and the last tear in her heart was when she opened the instagram app.

She commented under the post but deleted it, if he was single then she was single. She took to Twitter to let her feelings out "guess I'm single aha" He clearly saw it because he started blowing up her phone but she doesn't care any more, or at least she was going to pretend she doesn't.
She didn't feel like crying anymore she just felt numb. She loved him but it clearly wasn't enough for him. She wasn't the type of girl he wanted and now that she knew that it was time to focus on rebuilding herself without zion.
