**SMUT AT THE END**

November 2nd, 2017.

"Yashua if you don't get your ass here right now!" yelled a very familiar voice from downstairs.

It was noon and Yashua was in my room helping me move my furniture. Yashua quickly looked at me with the same look i gave him.

"It's him" he said.

"Bu-but why is he here??!" i asked.

"It's November and it's his turn for him to come see Aaliyah. Every month, him and Yocelyn switch on how he gets to see the baby" he said. "Last month, Yocelyn took her to him once a week. Now he's gonna start coming once a week."

"Are you serious? Wha-what am i gonna do. I-"

"Yashua! If you don't come down, i'm gonna go get you fag!" Richard yelled from downstairs.

"Fuck Ronnie. Listen, stay here and lock the door. Don't come downstairs for any reason what so ever."

"Okay okay, Hurry down" I said as i walked him to my door.

For some reason we stood there for a little staring into each others eyes in fear. I had an urge to do something crazy. I kissed his lips and quickly shut my door and locked it.

I sat with my back against the door and cried. The fact that my best friends killer is here isn't at all making me okay. I know he doesn't know i was there last night but fear is literally all what i'm feeling.

I heard my door knob move. Someone was trying to open my door. I completely froze not knowing what to do. Then i heard a knock. I'm literally scared as fuck right now. I then saw a piece of paper slid under my door. Oh my god it's Christopher.

I opened my door and stood back. He closed it and locked it. All i could do was run into his arms and quietly sob. He hugged me tightly and whispered, "You're safe with me".

He took me to my bed and sat down. I had my face in his chest and cried even more. He was caressing my head and kept telling me it would be okay. Ugh i hate being an emotional ass bitch.

I wiped my tears away and took a deep breath. I looked up and saw his eyes full of tears too.

"Christopher.." i said with a faint tone.

He looked me straight into the eyes and also wiped his tears away.

"It's gonna be okay" he said with a small grin.

"Christopher you're not okay. Stop saying you're okay when in reality you're not" i said.

"You're not okay either" he said as he scratched his eyes.

"But am i denying it? No. I've been doing better then before though. I'm not one hundred percent okay but i'm getting there. And well, you're not there yet" i said as i put my hand on his thigh.

"Veronica i need to be strong. I need to hide it all" he said.

"No you don't" i said. "It's okay to not always be strong. I mean shit look at me" i let out a small laugh. "I'm slowly getting there."

"I made a promise though."

"To who?" i asked.

"Alan. He always told me if anything were ever to happen to him, that i had to be strong in every way possible to keep you safe" he said as he wiped a tear away.

"Oh Christopher" i said as i pulled him into a hug

He cried into my shoulder like he's never cried before. He is not at all coping with this so easily as i though he was. All i ever see him is a dick who is always telling me what to do, but in reality, he's breaking apart.
