Alijah POV
"School is so boring without you here Alli," Trent said through the phone.
After I got up this morning I called him and Amber to catch up. I really called him but Amber called me so this is how we're here now on three-way.
No lie, even though Trent and I weren't on the best of terms when I left, I still missed him. He wasn't just a boyfriend. He was actually a best friend before, although, at one point in my life I hated him so much. Every time I would see him, it set something off inside of me and I just became this really dark person.
That, of course, brought along a lot of problems for me and eventually my family.
Fighting became a normal part of my days, suspensions were regular, I was mad disrespectful to everyone, and I even had thoughts of not only hurting people around me but myself too.
With the help of a therapist recommended by my school's principal, I found my way to forgiveness for myself and for Trent.
I'm always thankful for Dr. Francis because he helped me with things I didn't know I needed help with. He helped change my life for the better and I'm forever grateful.
"Aw, I miss you guys so much. Just imagine not having anyone from your usual circle though! Being homesick feels normal at this point," I replied as I channel surfed.
"You got family over there though, so it's probably not even that bad. You just mad extra," Trent answered.
"That's not the point. I still miss Brooklyn."
"Get out your feelings, kid," Amber spoke.
"You two are insensitive as fuck. Mike wouldn't even be this insensitive."
"You wouldn't even be able to find out because he would've already hung up on your ass," Trent said truthfully and both Amber and I laughed.
"Word," Amber added. "But I'm gonna hit you later, Alijah. Trent you coming out later?"
"I don't have shit else to do," he answered in a duh tone.
I pouted as I listened. I already knew they were gonna have fun. Whether they partied or went to a movie, the crew would be lit either way.
"Ok. I love you, Alli baby!"
"I love you too, kid. Send me a selfie, sweets," I smiled as I fiddled with the fur of a teddy bear on my bed.
"You don't love me, Amber? Damn," Trent said in a soft voice that made me chuckle a little.
"Trent, you're headass. Alijah, I got you, love. I'm outtie," she spoke, ending the call on her end.
It was quiet for a minute and then Trent spoke up.
"Alijah, you good, shorty?"
"I'm cool. Why?"
"Nah, you just so calm. Most people would probably be going through it right now if they were in your situation."
I had told him and Amber about the adoption thing. I really just needed to vent and he was here when I started spilling. Trent has been in my close circle since junior high so it was always easy talking to him just like Amber. Of course, there are some things I wouldn't speak to him about but I could always count on him for an open ear.
"Yeah. I'm not really sad about it. It kinda bothers me though. It's not like I didn't have parents in my life because I did and they're perfect. It's their loss, not mine. My life's been good without them. I wasn't sad then, why should I be now? You know? The only thing different is that I found out someone else didn't want to be in my life or didn't want me in theirs. They were the first but definitely not the last," I vented as I looked up at the ceiling
