I stayed seated on the sofa as I could hear her jog up the stairs to get her dress and other things and then come back down. I heard the key turning in the front door and then she appeared back in the front room.
Imarni: why did you answer?
Me: you called for a reason right?
Imarni: I was drunk.
Me: that's more of a reason for me to answer. I didn't want anything to happen to you.
Imarni: we're not even supposed to be talking.
Me: so what?
Imarni: so why did you answer?
Me: I'll always answer to you no matter what happens and you know that.
Imarni: no. give me your phone.
Me: why?
Imarni: I need to.
I sighed out giving her my phone to see what she would do. I watched her as she went into my contacts, found her number and blocked it.
Me: why are you making life harder for yourself?
Imarni: I don't want this to keep happening.
Me: I don't want anything bad to happen to you.
Imarni: I wasn't alone.
Me: I don't give a fuck Imarni. The way you were dressed last night and you didn't even know what was happening around you. Anybody could've did anything to you and Vanessa.
Imarni: and how exactly are you going to stop anything from happening from 2 hours away?
Me: you decided to move away so don't put that on me. The day you left I begged you to work off-campus so we could be together and you acted like I meant nothing.
Imarni: so let me go. Don't answer my calls.
Me: then don't call me.
Imarni: I won't.
My heart stopped as my phone started to ring in her hand.
Imarni: is this her?
I bit on my lip looking at the screen... Fuck. It's Tianna.
Me: that's just my friend.
Imarni: prove it.
I tried to grab my phone & failed as she answered it putting it on speaker.
Tianna: good morning baby.
My heart dropped as Imarni hung the phone up laughing to herself which scares my a little.
Imarni: do all of your friends call you baby?
Me: why are you doing this?
Imarni: because you're acting like I'm the reason we can't give us another try when you've been with somebody else and you still can't admit it.
Me: I told you, she's my friend.
Imarni: stop fucking lying to me Tyree. I'm not stupid. I know you're fucking with somebody else. You can lie and tell me you're celibate all you like but I'm not falling for the bullshit anymore. I heard you on the phone to her.
Me: you have the nerve to bring up the fact that I was on the phone to someone when you're fucking Jamal right in front of my face?
Imarni: atleast I can be honest about it. I'm not hiding the fact I found somebody else.
Me: you know what, you should leave.
I didn't want to get angry on her because too much has happened since last night and I don't want to make our relationship worse than it already is.
Imarni: fuck you.
I sighed out picking my phone up since she dropped it on the floor before she walked out. All she had on was my t shirt but I'm not stopping her from leaving. Instead I called romae since he lives close by.
Romae: what's up?
Me: where are you?
Romae: I'm at home why?
Me: Marni's just left my house can you come and get her asap.
Romae: did you two have another arguement?
Me: something like that.
Romae: I thought you weren't even supposed to be talking.
Me: I'll tell you everything later. Just come and get her.
Romae: kool.
Just as I hung up the phone Tianna called again.
Tianna: baby?
Me: sorry T my battery died.
Tianna: it's okay. What are you doing today, or should I say what are we doing today?

Jamals POV:
Me, Vanessa and demari all sat in the front room watching TV as Imarni walked in ignoring us all going straight into her room locking the door. Me and demari both looked at Vanessa.
Demari: what the fuck?
Vanessa: I told you she went back home yesterday.
Me: who's clothes does she have on?
Vanessa: that looks like her shirt to me.
Me: so you're just going to lie to my face like that?
Vanessa: Jamal I don't know what you're talking about.
Me: I saw the fucking pictures, I know she didn't leave the house in that last night so where did she go?
Vanessa: first of all. Don't shout or swear at me and secondly. Last time I checked she's single so you don't need to be checking on her whereabouts.
Demari: Vanessa this is about more than that. Where was she?
Vanessa: just let her be. She clearly needs alone time right now.
Me: was it tyree?
Vanessa: Jamal you need to chill.
Me: don't tell me to chill.
Vanessa: then stop asking questions.
Demari: both of you need to chill. I'll speak to Marni when she's ready.
Me: did she get drunk last night?
Vanessa: we both did.
Me: so how did you make it home last night and she just came in with somebody else's clothes on?
Demari: bro. Don't worry about it.
Me: I wanna know what happened.
Vanessa: you're not together anymore. Why does it matter?
I sat screwing them both then walked off into my room before it turned into an argument. Why the fuck is everyone acting like me and Imarni we're nothing? I still have love for her.

Imarni's POV:
After having a bath I ordered some food getting into my bed until it came.
I put Netflix on so I could take my mind off what happened this morning. I didn't even want to know what I said to Tyree last night when I was drunk I just know it can't be good. My phone started to ring so I answered it since it's romae.
Romae: are you feeling better now?
Me: yes thank you for everything you did.
Romae: good and you know I got you.
Me: how did you know where I was anyway?
Romae: Tyree called me when you left his house.
Me: oh.
Romae: what exactly was you planning on doing when you left?
Me: I don't know. I was still a little tipsy but I just knew I had to leave before it got worse.
Romae: you both need to sort it out.
Me: we tried. I fucked up and called him and then this happened. I just don't want to see or speak to him again.
Romae: you already know that's impossible.
Me: it's not.
Romae: you know he loves you.
Me: it takes more than just love.
