"You good?" Eli asked when I showed up to his door without notice. It made sense since Tyla and I never really hung out here. We would spend most of our time at mine or Tyla's place and only came here occasionally.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I lied
"Lyin' ass , look at you." Eli looked me up and down
"I said I'm good." I rubbed my eyes again
I probably look ridiculous with dried tears on my cheeks. Maybe I over reacted and it was nothing serious, I don't know.
"Whatever just come in."
I was glad that I didn't have to worry about getting kicked out of his place. Eli owned his own little one bedroom apartment. He used to live with his mom and sister, but after his sister moved out because of his mom he couldn't take it anymore he moved here. Eli is more than what meets the eye, but he doesn't talk about it.

I frowned and I guess Eli noticed because he asked me what was wrong again.
"I don't wanna talk about it."
"I ain't ask all that, so you better tell me."
I looked at my shoes as it started raining outside. Could the day get any worse?
"I went home and I forgot my keys, so I was sitting on the stairs and Dominic-"
"Wait, Dominic like the grey eyed bastard?"
"Yeah?"
"Continue."
I retold him the whole situation leaving us in silence.
"Oh...2k?" He asked with a controller in his hand
I guess this was his way of saving me the embarrassment and it was working. I texted my mom that I was gonna stay over at Eli's place since it was getting late and I didn't have an umbrella.
"Sure."
