Tyler
I managed to slip out of Reign's apartment and into my own. I went straight to the bathroom and looked in my medicine cabinet. I opened the bottle and took 2 pills. Washing it down with some water. I looked at my self in the mirror. Something's gotta give. I can't keep hiding the fact that I'm sick from everyone. The only people that know is my family and Sky. And she only knows because she met my family and ended up finding out on her own.

I'm always the one whose uplifting everyone. Making everyone laugh and smile. But behind closed doors, I'm suffering. But I won't allow a soul to feel sorry for me. Not one.

My phone rang. It was my mama. I ran to pick it up but by the time I got to my phone she hung up. My mama one of those people that think if you don't answer on the first 2 rings then she hanging up.

I called her back.

"Hello?"

"Boy what the hell was you doing you couldn't pick up this phone?"

"I'm fine mama how are you?"

"Yeah yeah kiss my ass. How you feeling?"

"I'm ok."
"Been taking your medicine?"
No.
"Yeah mama I been taking them."

"Good. Cause I would hate to kill you for not taking it."

"Ma, you know Reign invited Sky down here to visit?"

"I know. Reign called and told me. I think it'll be good for y'all to sit down and hash out y'all differences."

"I ain't got nothing to say to that girl. She was wrong not me."

"Ok yes she was wrong. But give her a chance to explain and hear her out. Atleast let her apologize."

"Mama. I said what I said. Now I'm done talking about it."

"I don't know who the hell you thought you was talking to but this ain't that. I will beat your ass Tyler Williams do you understand me? Now I SAID talk to her and if I find out you didn't it's gone be me and you ya hear? And you need to tell Reign you sick. You been hiding it since you found out. If you don't then I will. Good damn bye."

I sighed hanging up the phone. I crawled in my bed and turned on my tv. My medicine was kicking in so I know I'll be sleep soon. My mama was right. I just don't want nobody treating me different once I tell them. Shit stressed me out enough.

Reign
He kissed me. His full lips touched mine and I felt electric waves flow through my body. This ain't natural. He ain't supposed to have that affect on me. I need to snap out of whatever this is. Maybe I'm overthinking it. Maybe he was just excited and kissed me.
Girl whatever. Excited is just a peck. Y'all had a full blown make out session.

I laid back on my bed taking in what just happened. Do I like him? Yes. Do I want him? Bad. But I'm afraid. What if he just doing this cause I opened my doors to him? What if his feelings ain't real? What if he got "hero syndrome"? Y'know. Somebody be nice to you after you go through tough times and you like them only because they just there. Not because they actually like you? My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on my bedroom door.

"Reign. Can I come in please?"

I unlocked the door and stood face to face with Chris.

"Look I'm sorry if I startled you with that kiss. I over stepped my boundaries and I apologize. It won't happen again"

Honestly I couldn't concentrate on what he was saying because my eyes kept falling on his lips.

"From now on it'll be strictly roommate/friend business. Unless you give me the ok to take it th—"

I shut him up by kissing him this time.

"If I wanted it to be strictly friends you would've known."

I don't know where the hell that boldness came from but it shocked the hell outta me because I found myself apologizing. I'm confusing my damn self.

He smirked. "Well now that I know what's really up, I'm not sorry for kissing you. And imma do it every chance I get. No need to confuse yourself mama. I really do like you. But I still wanna move slow. So we can see what intentions we have with one another and to see where things lead. Okay?"

"Okay. I agree."

"Good. Now come on. Let's go finish that movie from last night." He pecked my lips and walked down the hallway.

Anybody know the cure for wet panties? 🥴
