Worth it.

Chapter two

Zions POV
I  twisted my dreads in the mirror, thinking about her. Sammi. Even her name is beautiful, she's just so perfect in every way. Today is the day I tell her how I feel. I put on my favorite hoodie and walk into the kitchen. I live with my band members. Our band includes Brandon, Edwin, Austin, Nick, and me.
"Aye B, we throwing this party tonight or what?" I ask Brandon.
"Yeah lemme just text 360 and tell them to spread the word" he replied.
I get excited. I planned how the night would go, Sammi would show up, I ask her to come onto the roof with me, and then we'd lay under the stars just talking, eventually I tell her how I feel, she'll say the same and Zion and Sammi live happily ever after. I felt butterflies in my stomach just thinking about it.
Later that night.
Loud music filled the house as people would pour drinks and converse. I sat anxiously waiting for Sammi to walk through the door.
"Zion! What you doing just sitting there? That ain't the Z I know. Cmon get hypeeeeed" Edwin said pulling me up from my chair. I laugh and start singing and dancing. Everyone made a circle around me as I danced, hyping me up and holding my hood. I looked up at the door and stopped. My heart sank. Sammi had walked in with a guy wrapped around her. I leave the middle of the circle to talk to her.
"Sammi!" I say calling out to her.
"Oh hey Z, um I want you to meet Jax, my boyfriend" she says smiling at Jax. I feel like someone had stabbed me in the heart.
"Um- Can I, uh, talk to you, um outside" I say trying not to cry.
"Yeah sure" She replies. "I'll just be one second baby" He kisses her and she walks outside with me. "So what do you need to talk about?"
"I love you Sammi" I say holding her hand. She let's go of it.
"Woah Zion. I have a boyfriend" she looks around if anyone was listening and lowers her voice. "All we were doing was sleeping around. I thought this was a no feelings type of sex. I'm sorry Zion but I don't-"
"Cmon don't say that Sammi" I say as tears fill my eyes. "Please say anything but that" I try to hold her hand again but she pulls away.
"I don't love you Zion. I'm with Jax" She starts to walk away. "And this little 'friends with benefits' relationship is over. Don't even think about calling me"
I stand there tears in my eyes. My heart was broken. Edwin runs over to me laughing.
"Zion you gotta come, Duane really out here saying he can dance better than-"
He notices my tears. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing" I walk right past him and call an Uber.
I hop in the Uber and tell him my destination.
"Not feeling the party kid?" The driver asks me noticing my puffy red eyes. I don't reply. He sighs. "Okay, well I guess it's going to be one of those drives" We drive in silence until we arrive. I start to get out when he stops me.
"Hey kid" He notices how tall the building I'm going into is. "I know you're upset, but don't do anything stupid now, nothing that could end a good thing for you. You're worth it kid"
"I'm not going to jump if that's what you're worried about" I say. "I'm not gonna let a girl ruin my life like that, I just need to think" I say leaving him a generous tip.
"You're a good kid, thank you"
"Thanks" I say with a fake smile.
I head up the elevator to the top floor then taking the stair to get to the roof. This was always my favorite place to come to to think. I used to come here whenever I got in an argument with one of the boys. I did my best thinking here. As I reach the roof, I see this figure standing on the ledge.
