"Z--" lexis started to say, but I just looked at her causing her to stop.

"Yea shut that shit up." I mumbled grabbing my hot fries and my faygo.

"Michael is here." Liyah said making me nod.

"Okay. Have fun..I gotta go to class." I said shrugging walking back to my room.

"Zaya...he's really sorry."

"Mmm word? I don't think you can be fully ready for a relationship in one day...matter of fact let me go before y'all try some slick shit." I said grabbing my keys and backpack.

"Zaya, can you please just take him back? Before you ruin your relationship." She asked crossing her arms.

I laughed and shook my head, "if my relationship is ruin then that's how it's supposed to be. Besides I'm not you I don't take my nigga back easily." I pushed past her and ignore Michael calling me I didn't have today.

"Zaya." Michael said grabbing me making me snatch my arm away. "Please talk to me...I'm begging you."

"Michael I do not care. I need space Ight." I said crossing my arms. "You crossed the line Brodie."

"It's always me. What about you? You don't do shit wrong?"

"Michael what did I do wrong? I mean seriously. What am I doing wrong!" I semi snapped trying not to cause I scene.

"Everything zaya you're running from your problems."

"Because I need space Michael! I don't even wanna be around you right now! I can't stand my fucking best friend and I can't stand you right now. I'm sorry if I don't just wanna jump right back in a relationship with you Michael!" I explained rolling my eyes.

"But why zaya ! Am I that bad of a damn boyfriend."

"And you still don't get it! You don't fucking get it! And I'm tired of explaining it. Get your shit together before I get comfortable and leave Michael..." I said walking to my car shaking my head. Before I could pull off he jumped in my car and kissed me deeply making me forget everything that's been going on and I mean everything.

When I came to my senses I pushed him back and felt my lips.

"You don't know how to take no for a answer or something? Michael leave me alone."

"Zaya can you quit saying that shit?" He said rubbing his waves. "I get it zaya..."

"Do you though? What you get Michael let me know."

He looked at me and sighed, "I'm not opening up to you. I'm not spilling my emotions out and most importantly I keep throwing a situation in your face that shouldnt  even be brought up. You respected me and haven't brought mine up even after I threw yours in your face and I gotta give you the same respect. I gotta put my pride to the side and trust you zaya. I gotta be a better boyfriend, I'm sorry Damn can you take a nigga back. I'll open up, I'll do whatever but zaya I need you please!" He said grabbing my hand making me cry and wipe my tears away that just kept coming.

"Mm and how do I know your not just saying that? It's like you know everything to say the day after so you really understand or what?"

He sighed and looked straight ahead, "see...this that shit! Yes zaya I understand! But do you understand where I'm coming from?"

I nodded, "Yea and you're right but that's just me Michael."

"Mhmm and what am I talking about?"
