Chapter 7: Broken Chains.♦

Siyara

When I say I'm on my own, I literally mean I'm alone. Alone to the point where I sat at the edge of the pool by myself watching everyone else enjoy themselves. Hanging with their friends and doing what they do best. 

I felt lost since this trip started. No one by my side. I could barely think straight. What made things even worse was seeing Roc and Alana together. He just won't quit; it's killing me! 

His hands have been all over her; cuddling together with her in the lounge chair. It's just ridiculous. I sat back on the stairs of the pool and my eyes move towards Roc and Alana. 

He realizes, smiling at me evilly. Alana's back was turned as she was talking to someone. Roc turns her head toward him, cuffing her face in his hands and kisses her. As if that wasn't bad enough, he pulls her onto his lap, rubbing on her back. 

You know what? I'm done I can't do this anymore. I left the pool and went back to the room. I even skipped dinner. Food wasn't gonna solve my problems. 

The two love birds came back from dinner and have been on the balcony talking and laughing non stop. Honestly, who could sleep through something like that? Having the person you love intimidate you and spend more time with the person you hate. 

In the dark of our hotel room, I lay on my bed crying. There was nothing else I could do besides listen to those two make a bunch of noise. There then became a long train of silence. 

The only thing you could hear was sound of movements and whispering. After a while, Roc comes in. In the dim light of the moon that shined into the room, his eyes still sparkled. Even though it seemed like he was crying. 

I knew he saw that I was too. He stood there for a couple seconds, our eyes meditating upon each other, taking in our emotions. He starts walking towards me. 

I didn't know what to say. I didn't wanna talk to him; I couldn't even if I tried. I barely wanted to see him but I had no choice. I pull the covers up further, covering my head and turn the other way. 

His footsteps stopped. He understood my message then turned around and goes back onto the balcony, closing the door. The clicking sound of the door closing shut was like a bow shooting through my heart. 

The tears poured even harder than before until my eyes became irritated and I fall asleep. 

I woke up at six the next morning. I needed to get out and clear my head so I went for a walk around the outside of the hotel. Before leaving, my heart shrinks even smaller seeing Alana laying on Roc's chest, snuggled in his arms. 

I'm not sure how much more of this I can take. 

Roc

I wake up to a knock on the door. I push myself out of bed not to wake Alana; it didn't work. My head was pounding and the back of my eyes were hurting from crying last night that I could barely see. 

I rub my eyes walking to the door; it was Princeton. "Hey Roc, the guys are about to go play some basketball before breakfast. You coming?" "Yeah I'll be down there soon." I close the door. 

"Who was that," Alana asked, yawning half asleep. "Prince. The boys are gonna play basketball before breakfast. I'm going. I could use it anyway." 

I look at Siyara's bed and she wasn't there. "Where's Siyara?" Alana shrugs her shoulders. She couldn't have gone far but wherever she is, I hope she's okay. This isn't like back home. 

I shower, making the heat from the water hit my body to wake me up. I hop out and get dressed. Going down to the court, I really hope that playing will help me clear my head. 

Siyara

I walk back into the room and Alana was sitting on the bed looking through a photo album. "Hey," Alana greeted me. "Hey. Where's Roc?" "He went to play basketball with the boys. He should be  getting breakfast by now." 

I shook my head as if saying okay. As I was walking over to my bed, I took a glimpse at the photo album. "Who's that?" "That's my daughter, Adrienne." I sat next to her and stared down at the picture amazed at how much she looked like Alana. 

"She's pretty. She looks exactly like you too," I said half laughing. She smiles. "I've heard that. It's sad that she doesn't really know Roc that much." I start to feel uneasy from her comment. 

"Siyara, I'm sorry about the trouble I caused between you and Roc. It's just that, when I saw Roc at the park and he asked...there was no way I could hold it in any longer." 

I could hear the sincerity in her voice. "Sometimes I wish me and Roc never did it that night. We heard you crying last night. It took a real big toll on him; he kept going on and on about you. Plus, I know the only reason he was acting like that yesterday was to get back at you." 

It kinda made me feel a bit better hearing that Roc couldn't help but talk about me. "What did he say?" 

She laughed. "He said a lot! Like one day he had accidentally fell asleep on the playground in your parents backyard so you and Yaniese pranked him. She wrote all over his face with a marker and you put chocolate and whipped cream all in his hair and hands."

"Hahaha, that was fun. We have so many fun memories together." "You know Siyara, as bad as things may get or who ever tries to stop your relationship...he LOVES you. No one can ever change that." 

Her reply made me smile from ear to ear. 

"Thanks. I feel like I should be saying sorry. We both put each other through so much. I should've been more mature and handled the situation better when Roc told me Adrienne was his." 

"I underestimated you Alana. You're a really good person and I hope that you can forgive me." "Of course. I hope you can forgive me too. Friends?" We both smile and hug each other. 

When we pull away, we both start laughing about how sappy we were being and Roc walks in. Oh the joy......
