Triangle

Connected(21)

Heart been broke so many times I
Don't know what to believe
Mama say it's my fault, it's my fault I wear my heart on my sleeve
Think it's best I put my heart on ice, heart on ice
'Cause I can't breathe
I'ma put my heart on ice, heart on ice
It's gettin' the best of me

          Someone started banging on the door. "First of all who the hell knocking like they pay my bills over here?" I exclaimed as I got up to open it. "What's Kiah doing here? You ain't played with Sam feelings enough? You a weasely lil bitch ain't you?" Danielle said, eyeing Kiah down in the doorway. If looks could spark a flame, Kiah'd be incinerated by now.

           "I guess the pot don't get tired of calling the kettle out huh? Ain't you tired of minding my business? Apparently you got some of yo own to figure out." Kiah stared back knowingly. "Can y'all get the Jerry Springer show out my hallway? Both of y'all come in and chill out." I moved aside as they made their way in.

           I sat in between both of them and finished rolling the blunt I got started before I was so rudely interrupted. "Is somebody gonna say something? Y'all both rolled by unannounced and banged my door off now everybody quiet?" I asked, running my flame over the wood before sparking it. "Ion wanna talk about what I came over here to talk about if she's listening" Danielle gestured snidely at Kiah, sucking her teeth. "Well whatever Kiah and I talk about you boutta know anyways as my best friend and Kiah isn't about to run her mouth to nobody about your business when she knows it would upset me so y'all might as well get to talking."

         They looked pensively at the ceiling then each other as I handed Kiah the blunt. "Fine but she better keep her mouth shut" Danielle narrowed her eyes at Kiah, who pretended to lock her lips and throw away the key. "I've been talking to Ivy on Tinder through a fake account" Dani said hurriedly, clearly embarrassed. "About time you said something, I wondered how long you was boutta carry that shit on" Kiah exhaled, passing the blunt to Dani. "Look, I was gonna let you tell her on your own time" Kiah put up air quotes "minding my business and all, but did you really think Ivy wasn't gonna notice? Your Instagram bio says the same thing about you being a Gemini and sage and rocks and shit as your Tinder profile does, you even used the same emojis. Girl don't nobody use the lil fairy and the crystal ball but you."

           Dani's jaw was basically on the floor at this point. "My point is she already knows. She been knowing. She was just waiting on you." Dani whipped her head towards me. "Did you know about this?" She narrowed her eyes again "and Sam you better not lie to me" Kiah interjected "Girl ain't nobody trynna lie to you I didn't tell her. Everybody goes through they own process. I wanted to let you go through yours on your own terms. But I'm a 'weasely lil bitch' and you don't like me right? Oh okay." Dani stared at Kiah blankly. "You're right. Maybe I didn't really give you a chance. I'm sor-"

BANG BANG BANG

        "What the fuck are y'all trynna blow my high?" I grumbled as I moved towards the door. "If it's not one thing it's a mf nother." Before I could even get the door open all the way, India and Ivy were both pushing their way inside. I didn't know how right I really was. I guess me and Dani both have some explaining to do.
