Skai's POV The Next Morning

I couldn't sleep last night. I just laid awake crying, then getting angry, then crying again. I wasted four years of my young life on him that I'll never get back and this is what he does to thank me? And after sticking around the past two months while he basically neglected me? Ugh, just thinking about it makes me furious. 

However, my pride wouldn't let me tell Jayson just how much what he did affected me.  I wasn't just gonna let it go though either. 

I simply texted him the video that Zendaya sent me and wrote "Looks like you had a fun time last night."

After I sent it I felt better and was finally able to get some sleep. 

I woke up around 3 pm with a ton of messages from Jayson. I smirked. Let's see what he had to say now.

Jayson: Fuck.

Jayson: I was going to tell you.

Jayson: Skai come on don't ignore me.

Jayson: Can I come over?

I rolled my eyes.

Skai: No.

Jayson: Can we just talk?

Skai: Ooooh I love that song.

Jayson: 😑 

I decided not to respond and to hop in the shower instead. Obviously I'd talk to him about it at some point but I wasn't in the mood right now. 

After getting out of the shower and getting dressed and everything I heard Zendaya talking to someone so I went out of my room to see who was here. 

"Go away, she doesn't wanna talk to you," I heard her say. I inwardly groaned. Of course Jayson would show up, I shoulda just stayed in my room and pretended to be asleep. 

I sighed, I guess I should get this over with sooner rather than later. "It's fine, Zay."

She stepped aside and let him in. He just stared at both of us. 

"I'm gonna...um...do something not here," Zendaya said and escaped to her bedroom leaving Jayson and I to talk. 

However, he remained silent, just looking at me. 

"Well, you wanted to talk, go ahead," I said passive aggressively. 

"Ok look, baby, I was drunk. I know that's not an excuse but it's the truth. And all we did was kiss, I swear."

"Oh thank God, all you did was make out! Why didn't you say so? That makes me feel soooo much better!" I said sarcastically. 

He didn't have a response so I continued, "And how do I know this is the first time? For all I know you've been hooking up with random bitches in the club every day for the past two months at this point."

"This was the first time, I promise."

I rolled my eyes, "Yeah, you've been promised a lot of things."

He scoffed, "What's that supposed to mean?"

"i'M noT GoNNa tAkE YoU fOr gRantEd anYmOrE, oK? Please, the only place you have been taking me is for granted. You constantly disrespect me and this is the icing on the cake. We've been together for four years and you ready to risk it all for some random girl? All this time you never gave me a reason to wanna be with anyone but you. You were so good to me and I loved you so much but now...I don't even know who you are anymore." 

He rubbed his hand over his face and then took both of my hands in his. "I know, I know, and I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I was drunk and I would never soberly hurt you."

"Well maybe that's the problem, you're never sober anymore." 

"Baby let me finish. You know I never wanna hurt you. You said it yourself. We've been together for four years. I don't wanna throw it all away. We've been through two much to quit now because of one little mistake."

It's more than this mistake, this is just the final straw, but okay, I thought. 

"Please, baby, don't leave me. I love you," he said looking at me with sad eyes.

Honestly, after feeling neglected for so long it felt good to hear him beg for me, even if he did mess up so bad. 

I wanted to tell him it was over, but then our whole relationship flashed before my eyes. I thought of prom, our first kiss, the first time he told me he loved me, when I gave him my virginity, etc. And then I thought, that if there's anyway he can go back to who he was before his mom died, if there's any way he can go back to being the man I fell in love with, then maybe it was worth it. 

"I love you too. I'm not gonna leave," I said and he smiled with relief and kissed me.

"But," I said holding up my hand, "This is your final warning. You try this shit again and you're gonna lose me. I refuse to be disrespected over and over again."

"I won't, I promise." 

And in that moment, Skai knew she had fucked up.
