Early Next Morning
Home.
I opened my eyes to see pitch black darkness. I felt my bed shift and I furrowed my brows. I hit my phone twice and checked the time. 2:45am. I sat up and turned on my lamp.
I looked over next to me to see Roman. He had his body covered up so I couldn't see him. I wasn't mad at him anymore, but he bout to get cussed out for disturbing my beauty sleep.
"Ro, it's two in the morning and you just now getting here? I thought you wasn't coming back tonight." I said getting no response.
I know he ain't sleep, he just got here. I shook him a bit but he just laid still.
"Roman, stop fucking playing with me." I said becoming frustrated.
"I'm good." He mumbled.
I rolled my eyes to the ceiling and sighed. I leaned over attempting to cut the lamp off. That's until I looked down on the floor and saw drops of blood. The hell? I pulled my arm back and looked over at him.
"What's wrong?" I asked taking a deep breath.
"Nothing, I'm tired. Can we just please go to sleep?" He asked but I didn't believe him.
"Okay." I said lowly.
I quickly snatched the covers off of him. The cover had blood on it and I looked at him. He pushed his face against the mattress and curled up.
"Bruh, you got one more time to play with me." I said shaking my leg out of anger.
He sighed and turned around to face me. My heart dropped at the sight of it. He had a black eye and a gash on his forehead. I gently touched his face and examined it.
"Who did this?" I asked and he shook his head.
"Nobody let it go-"
"I'm not gonna let it go! Look at your fucking face Roman!" I hit the headboard angrily.
"See this why I ain't want to tell you. I wasn't tryna wake you up." He sighed.
"I'ma ask you again, who did it?" I said clasping my hands together while closing my eyes.
"Me and Casey got into a heated ass argument. Well, she was the one arguing. I don't like to argue, so I ignored her. I guess it made her mad though because she hit me in the face with a damn glass vase. It shattered and after that I left. I sat in my car for a while before I decided to come over here."
I got up out my bed sliding my shorts on. My hair was already wrapped up so I didn't need to. I grabbed my hoodie, sliding it over my head.
"What you doing? No fighting, we just gon leave her alone." He said grabbing me.
"Roman no, she hit you in the face with a fucking vase! I'm not gonna let that shit slide! She gon get her ass beat!" I screamed angrily making him hold me tighter.
"No-"
I teared up, "Nah bruh, because I don't play that. It shouldn't have even went that far! I'm pissed! I swear man I'm angry as fuck!"
I started crying because Roman didn't deserve this. If anything he's the peacemaker. I guess I feel more guilty because of yesterday. I went off on him because I was mad. He always tries to keep the peace, and I was just like fuck it.
"Don't cry." He said as I laid my head on his shoulder. I sniffled, releasing from the hug.
"I can't let that bitch get away with this shit. If I do its gon eat me alive Roman." I shook my head wiping the tears off my face.
