Chapter 8: Love Drifting Away .♥

Roc

After a nice breakfast and intense game of basketball, I go back to my room. When I walk in Alana and Siyara were laughing. "What's going on?" "Siyara and I talked things out. Everything's good between us." 

At first I figured this was just a joke but somehow the look in Siyara's eyes told otherwise. The warming shine of her eyes brought the biggest smile to my face. She felt something inside and I knew because she had to turn away. 

"So you guys are friends?" "Yeah, we are," she says turning toward Siyara. I sit on the end of me and Alana's bed. "How you feel about that Siyara?" 

"I feel pretty good. Alana's not as bad as I thought she was." She gets up and goes into the bathroom to shower. "You really have changed." "Roc I told you, I don't wanna be the same person I was back then." 

I half laughed and hit her with a pillow. That was a bad idea because she shot back and hit me with the other one. The pillow fight had began. 

When Siyara open the bathroom door, my pillow flew out my hand and soar across the room, hitting her in the face. All three of us burst out laughing. "Sorry-" "You're about to be sorry." 

She runs over, both her and Alana ganging up on me, pelting me with the pillow. I never thought I'd see this moment happen but it sure did feel good. 

Siyara

Now that me and Alana are friends now, my mood is completely different. I feel relieved and happier. I'm still not talking to Roc though. I can't understand why but it just doesn't feel right to me. 

We're on our way to take a boat tour of the Irvine waters. I find it funny because me and Alana are wearing the same outfit; except hers is yellow. 

We got off the bus and start walking to Wendy's for lunch. 

Since it was an outdoor restaurant and there was so many of us, a few of us got in line for our food while others sat at tables waiting. I was talking with Alana while Roc was listening to music. 

I look over by the stone fountain and see the crew. Dang I miss them. Why did I ever let them drift away? "Hey guys, I'll be right back." "Where're you going," Roc asked. "There's something I gotta do." 

I walk over to the crew with Roc and Alana behind me. Their conversations stop. "Hey." They don't say anything. 

"Guys I'm sorry. Niyah I'm sorry about what I said to you the other day. I was wrong to bring that up and I knew how hard things were for you. Prod, I'm sorry about how I reacted yesterday. You were trying to look out for me and I took things too far." 

"Dessy, your my girl. I know Prod told you; I'm sorry that I called you a bitch. I'm sorry for everything! If I hurt you guys in any way, I'm sorry. Please don't hate me?" 

Ray stands up and came forward. "You may be very childish and not act right at times; but we could never hate you. We love you Sisi." He pulls me into a hug and kisses my forehead. 

All of us come together and form a group hug. I realize Alana standing alone, staring at the floor. I knew she felt left out. "Hey Alana!" She looks up. 

"Get over here! You're apart of the family now," Prod yelled welcoming her in. She comes over smiling and joins in. After, we go buy our food and sit at a table to fit us all. Lets just say, there was love in the air. 

The tour was amazing! We saw a lot beautiful scenery. Everyone got to know Alana a lot better; she's really cool. 

Unlike Roc and I things are really weird between us. The more I try to avoid him, he keeps coming back to get me to talk to him or have my attention. 

Yes, I did make ends meet with Alana but with Roc it's different. Somehow I still can't get over the fact that he has a baby with someone else.     

Anyways, we just got to the restaurant where we'll be having dinner. The crew and I sit at a table for us all. I tried not to make it happen but Roc still ended up sitting next to me and Alana on the other side. 

I never thought that I'd say this but...I LOVE Belizean food. Now, I see why Roc loves it so much. Everyone got along great during dinner. The music only made it better. 

Us Against The World by Christina Millian started playing. "Baby, can I have this dance," Ray says, inviting Lexy. "Definitely." They walk away to the dance floor. The rest of them do the same leaving me, Roc, and Alana alone. 

"Siyara," Roc says holding out his hand for me to take, standing up. I didn't want to but Alana kept pushing me to go. I took his hand and we walked to the floor. 

He held my waist and I hesitated, inching my arms slowly around his neck. Feeling his hands on my hips sent chills all throughout my body. He was staring down at me, his eyes in deep admiration. 

I looked out at the palm trees swaying. "You worked things out with Alana. What about you and me?" I could hear the pain in his voice; it made my blood run cold. 

"Nothing's changed." "Siyara please? How can we work things out?" I move away from him. "Why do you always do this?" "Do what? What am I doing?" 

"Pushing me to forgive you." He bites his finger and sighs. 

"Because Siyara, I can't take the feeling of you not talking to me. It kills me that I made one mistake from so long ago and you're holding it against me and I can't find a way to make things go back to the way they were." 

I knew what was coming next. One of us would start tearing up or get the urge to cry but try to hide it. "Roc I wanna forgive you and except it but I can't. Deep down I know you love me and Yaniese..." 

Oh god! They're coming, he's tearing up. I can't do this! "But I can't shake the feeling of having to share your heart with someone else." 

"Siyara don't do this to me please......" He says choking up his tears. I swallow my tears and try to talk but no words would escape my lips. I shook my head as if saying no. 

Roc's mouth slowly fell open and he back away. Before turning to walk away, I saw a tear roll down his cheek. It killed him inside. The one chance I had to lift things back up; instead it came crashing down again, sinking deep into the ground. 

I made his love drift away...... 

I literally wanted to cry but I had to stop myself. Comments?♥ Restaurant in links.
