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.
Zion didn't know what to do, he had fucked up and lost the most important person in his life, how could he have been so stupid? He sat in his dorm room contemplating how he could possibly fix things, she wasn't answering his FaceTimes or messages but was still posting on her instagram and Snapchat, she completely ghosted him and he was going crazy.
"FUCK" he screamed as he picked up his game controller and threw it at the wall in a state of blind anger.
"Yo, zion what the fuck man" Edwin his roommate yelled jumping up from his bed and dashing to zions side of the room "man what's been going on with you this last week?"
"You remember Kennedy right?" Zion asked, and how could edwin forget he remembers first meeting her, she was funny and it was obvious just how in love with zion she was, Edwin remembers thinking just how lucky his friend was to find a girl this early in his life that was down for him like how she was.
"Yeah what about Kennedy? Is she okay?" Edwin asked it just came to his attention that it was a Saturday afternoon and the girl was nowhere to be found for a second week in a row when she's usually here every weekend like clockwork, the look of distress that formed on zions face sent edwins heart into a panic "Zion what happened bro is she alright" he pushed again
"She's fine" Zion sighed, "a little too fine for someone who just got dumped" he knew it was his fault that they were over but her not reaching out to him even once made him feel like she was happy he broke things off, maybe he was burdening her and not the other way around.
"Nigga what" Edwin said confused, standing up "what do you mean for someone who got dumped bro, are you dumb"
"Yes" Zion said "I made the biggest mistake of my life last week and now I don't think I can fix it" zions voice cracked and Edwin was a little shook, he's known Zion for two years and the boy was built of steel he never outright displayed his emotions and he was never caught in a vulnerable state, but right now he was so obviously heartbroken and angry at himself he isn't even trying to hide it. Edwin couldn't help but feel sorry for his friend but he also felt sorry for Kennedy, who knew what she was feeling below what she was portraying on social media, she loved Zion anyone with common sense and sight could see that.
"What even led you to break up with her, y'all were just happy" Edwin asked, and Zion didn't have an answer for that, he was feeling so many things that day after their argument that he started avoiding her, he needed space and now he has space permanently.
"I was confused, we argue so much bro and we are always fixing it and shit but after the last argument I was just like is it worth it?" He shook his head and then pulled his phone out his pocket "I called her 39 times and got not one answer and I know I fucked up but knowing she doesn't care is killing me bro"
"You're dumb as fuck z" Edwin said and Zion glared at him but he continued before he could say anything "you had a down as chick, she loved the fuck out of you and everybody knew that and yes y'all argue and shit but y'all been together since middle school if y'all didn't argue it would be concerning"
Zion sighed and laid back on his bed, his phone started ringing and he hurried to it to pick it up, "hello" he answered not bothering to look at who was "yo z it's nick have you seen what your girl been posting on her instagram? Aniya just showed me"
"What is she posting? Let me check" he motioned Ed back over from where he went to sit on his bed "pull up Kennedy Instagram apparently she posted something" edwin sighed but nonetheless he pulled the Instagram up and handed Zion the phone

Imnotkennedy: gotta fall in love with myself before I fall for anybody else, I'll never let another guy have me crying myself to sleep for nights on end, Zion if you're reading this I just want to say I'll always have love for you but I realized I am not enough for you possibly because I wasn't enough for myself so I am letting you go. I realized I can't be with anyone else until I learn to be with myself.

He scrolled through the comments most of them guys trying to shoot their shot and most of them other girls saying how strong she was and he sighed closing the app and handing Edwin his phone back.
"I really lost the only girl in my life I'll ever love" zions voice cracked "but if she's more content not having us be together I'll have to learn to live with that"
"That's really big of you man, and y'all will get back together but this time is probably good for both of you theres clearly insecurities on both sides and once y'all fix those I know y'all will back" Edwin supported, Zion wanted to believe he truly did but edwin was a hopeless romantic he sees the happy ending in everything and this wasn't a romance movie, his relationship was over and he needed to start learning to cope with that.
He hoped he and Kennedy would meet again down the road, fix things, get married and have that white picket fence family they always joked about having but that was a long shot, nothing in this life is guaranteed but he knew one thing as she let him he would hold a special place in his heart for her and her only.
