Thugs can love (Completed)

Chapter 10

Xavier POV

Me and Britt ain't in each other's graces right now. Well really I ain't in her grace. For the first time in almost two years she actually went back home and spent the night. I didn't think it would affect me that much but after a week without her in the apartment, yeah I started missing the hell out of her. Shit I had to get my baby back. I just didn't know how. Britt had trust issues and when you lost her trust it was nearly impossible to get back. The only person who could help me is Toya. I know the real her. We fuss a lot but after a while we grew on each other. She's like an annoying sister I never had.

"What do you want bastard?" she answered.

"You need to stop being so mean."

"Blah blah blah blah," she sang. "What's up bub?"

"Britt. She ain't been here in a week and I'm starting to miss her."

"Good for your ass. You know damn well a rider can only take so much shit."

"I didn't do anything honestly."

"So you ain't cheating on Britt?"

"No," I said truthfully. I ain't cheating on Britt. When we were younger yeah I was afraid of commitment so I did what I did behind her back. I lied so many times to her expecting her to just believe me or something. One day, she just  gave up. She wouldn't talk to me for a full week before texting that she was done with us. I called her at least a hundred times but each time going to voicemail. I thought I could function without her and continued doing me but I couldn't. I missed Britt, my Britt. She was my first and only love8*. I can't risk losing her again.

"Hmmm," she sighed. She was thinking. Toya and Britt have been best friends for a long time. We were cool and all but I know her loyalty lies with her best friend. I respect that. I just hope she'll help me on this one. "Fine," she said. "If you fuck up again, I will not help you."

"Thanks Toya." She started telling me everything I needed to do to get my girl back. I'm willing to do everything I can to get my Britt.

Britt POV

I miss the apartment me and Xavier shared. I hate being back at home with my mother and step-father. All they've done is talk shit about my poor choices. I try to spend as much time out of the house as possible. But now they have me on curfew. If I'm not in the house at a certain time then I won't be coming in at all. I don't have a key so yeah. Part of me wanted to ask to spend some time at Toya's, knowing her she'd let me, but I know her place is already full with Malik and Shad.

I skipped 5th period because I needed some time alone. As the days go by I'm more and more sure that I'll have to break up with Xavier. I don't know if I can trust him. He's no stranger to cheating and I don't want to be the fool again. It hurts when I'm away from him, but it hurts more knowing he doesn't just want me. I hid out in the gym under the bleachers. This used to be the smokers hang out but now they go somewhere else. Barely anyone comes here anymore. 

I made a little palet on the floor using my sweater. I put on my headphones and just let the music take me. I was enjoying myself, not thinking, when I felt something touch me. I thought it was some kind of pest and I got scared. I popped up quick and bumped my head on something. "Ow!" I rubbed my forehead. I looked up at Xavier who was holding his jaw.

"Damn ma you tryin to knock my teeth out init?"

"What do you want? Wait, how the hell you know I was here?"

"Toya told me." Her ole snitching ass. "Britt, I miss you. Please come home."

"Go be with your hoes."

"You know I ain't got none. All I want is my wife."

"Uh-uh. Xavier I refuse to be the butt of your joke. You're sneaking around doing god knows what. You say you don't cheat but you're not proving my suspicions wrong."

He sighed. "Okay. I'm not cheating on you, I wouldn't do that to you again. I've been under a lot of stuff. I don't want you to worry or anything."

"What's wrong?"

"I-it's just that...we're still under a lot of stress with the Kenny shooting and then the one a couple of weeks ago. I know I should've told you but ma I don't want you worrying for me." I know he wasn't lying but he wasn't telling the whole truth. "I love you ma, please come back home?"

I sighed. "I love you too." He kissed me. "All I want from you Xavier is to be real with me. I don't want to be alone."

"You're not babe, I promise." I sighed and decided to believe him. This just better not come back and bite me in the ass.

Let's hope right? Just a short little insight on how things are with Xavier and Britt. This will be the last updated chapter for a while. Will still write just not publish for a while. Have other ideas to jot down and another book to finish. Peace.
