Me: I think we should go back to being friends.
Jamal: we were never friends. You know I liked you from the beginning.
Me: why are you being difficult on purpose?
Jamal: because I don't want to let you go. I forgave you for lying to me about Romeo and going on a double date with him when we were together so why can't you brush this aside?
Me: I just don't like that we are constantly arguing over every little thing.
Jamal: then let's work on it.
I bit my lip in deep thought as he came over to me holding onto my waist.
Jamal: I can't let you go knowing I didn't try.
Me: if we get back together then that's okay but I think we both just need some time alone right now.
Jamal: okay fine.
Me: thank you.
I wrapped my arms around his neck as we hugged.
Jamal: you're still mine whether you want to admit it or not.
I rolled my eyes getting my phone out since I got a message.
Marcus- can we talk?
Jamal: I don't want you talking to him.
Me: you shouldn't be looking at my messages.
Jamal: I'm serious.
Me: you can't control that anymore.
Jamal: for real?
Me: I have an assignment to complete with him. I can't just start ignoring him.
Jamal: the last time I checked you didn't even like him.
Me: but I still want to pass my course.
Jamal: I just don't feel comfortable with you two being together.
Me: what did you do to him?
Jamal: nothing.
Me: then you have nothing to worry about.
I walked away from Jamal going onto my bed so he couldn't see me responding to Marcus.
Me- we're meeting tomorrow to do work right?
Marcus- I know but I want to clear the air before then.
Me- I'm free after 6?
Marcus- meet me at my apartment building at 7?
Me- okay
Me: what?
I looked up at Jamal since he stood in the middle of my room giving me the evils.
Jamal: I ended my friendship with him for you and not only have you broken up with me but you're going to start talking to him like everything is okay.
Me: I didn't tell you to do that Jamal.
Jamal: you didn't need to tell me. I fucked up and took his side when I shouldn't have so I fixed it as soon as you told me what actually happened.
Me: I know that's your friend and I know that he was drunk at the time. Not once did I tell you you need to fight with him because I didn't expect you to throw away a good friendship over a little arguement I had with him.
Jamal: well we don't talk anymore because of what happened.
Me: I can't risk not speaking to him and failing my assignment all because him and my room mate don't speak anymore.
Jamal: room mate? Is that what you're calling me now?
Tyree- can you come this weekend and pack for me please?
I rolled my eyes looking at the text from Tyree. Why doesn't he ask the girl he was on the phone to?
Jamal: don't ignore me.
Me: what else am I supposed to call you?
I sighed out as he kissed his teeth walking out. Maybe I'm taking this too far?
Me: Jamal wait.
I followed him into the kitchen pulling him towards me by his arm since he was ignoring me.
Me: I'm sorry.
Jamal: you need to stop acting like you don't care about anything that's happening.
Me: I'm just done with the drama.
Jamal: I just want you to be real with me.
Me: let's go and get some food.
*
Jamal: does he know you were going to break up with me?
Me: who?
Jamal: your ex.
Me: no. He's not involved in any of this.
I took my phone out of my pocket remembering I haven't responded to his text.
Jamal: can we talk with no phones for a bit?
I looked up at him raising my eyebrows.
Me: what's up with you?
Jamal: I really like you imarni. I don't wanna lose you over some bullshit especially when I'm going to be seeing you everyday at home knowing you're not mine anymore.
Me: J, us going on a break doesn't mean I'm going to get with someone else. I just want to focus on my work cause all of this drama is affecting me doing my work which is what I don't want.
Jamal: but you're making it seem like you did it because of what happened on new years eve.
Me: I just don't want you and Tyree, Marcus or anybody else constantly getting in fights because of me.
Jamal: and then what happens after that?
Me: I have no plans right now. Whatever happens happens.
He slowly nodded eating his Food.
Jamal: are you and Tyree talking now?
Me: yeah.
Jamal: kool.
Me: it's not like that though.
Jamal: promise?
Me: promise.

When we got back to the apartment we both ended up watching a movie in my room & falling asleep. We were woken by someone knocking the door.
Jamal: who's that?
Me: you should get it.
He groaned leaving the room. I left him because I want him and Vanessa to meet without me being there. I know he has a slight dislike for her because of what happened between us but I'm hoping it gets better.
I picked up my phone texting Tyree back about me packing his suitcase.
Me- why don't you ask whoever you was on the phone to the other day?
Straight away he called me making my heart skip a few beats.
Tyree: why don't you let that go?
Me: because you're not telling me the truth.
Tyree: I'm single imarni. Why the fuck are you making it a big deal.
Me: because I asked you a question and you still can't answer it.
Tyree: it was nobody.
Me: so why did you tell 'nobody' that all I am is your boys sister.
Tyree: that's all you're trying to be right? I wanted to get with you and you pushed me away.
Me: am I not more to you than that?
Tyree: that's not the point.
Me: answer my question.
Tyree: are you coming down on Wednesday to do my suitcase or not?
Me: answer my fucking question.
I was starting to get annoyed since he was avoiding my question.
I looked up as Jamal came back into my room.
Jamal: baby are you coming out?
I bit my lip since tyree started chuckling on the other side of the phone and I know it's because he can hear Jamal.
Tyree: na you're not. Not anymore.
