Thugs Don't Fall (Lucas Coly, Zendaya and August Alsina Fanfic)

Chapter 5

Lucas's POV

"Run that's back Luco."
Maree rapped as Close Friend by lil baby played from the radio.

I gave her a face and she laughed and continued to rap.

"Keep our business to ourselves. The internet ain't doin' no help. I know I shouldn't've never left. But everything I did for us." I rapped.

"And yes, I'm speakin' on my kids
Thinkin' 'bout this sh*t I did." Maree rapped more.

"Like how the hell I get myself involved in this bullsh*t?" We yelled in unison, causing us both to laugh uncontrollably.

"You can sing." I told Maree with a smile.
She shrugged and chuckled.

"I guess."

These last couple weeks have been kind of chill.

Since we kissed that night, it's like nothing has changed; but I want it too. I want her to be more than just a friend.

She doesn't say anything about it, and starting to think she doesn't even care about me like that. It's killing me.

I glanced over at her and she was smiling at her phone. Her fingers were moving fast so she had to be texting.

"What's got you so happy?" I asked with a smile.
She looked at me and her smile immediately faded.

"Nothing." She quickly put her phone away and I looked back at the road.

I probably shouldn't feel no type of way but I do.
I thought we had something going on but I guess not.

We pulled up at her house and she started to get out.
She looked at me with a frown.

"You're not coming in?"
I shook my head no and pulled my hat over my head more

She closed the door and turned to me.

"What's wrong?" She asked as she reached for my hand.

Sighing, I moved my hand and put it behind my head.

"Nothing. I'm tired. I'm finna go home." I told her as I drunk my truck back up.

"Lucas. Tell me what's wrong." I could hear the worry in her voice but I honestly didn't care.

"I'm not doing that."

"Why not?"

"Cuz imma sound like a b*tch. Now get out."
She reached for the door but locked it.

"Tell me what the hell is wrong with you." She demanded.

"Ion have to tell you sh*t." I shot back with a glare.

"You know what. Fine. Be an *sswhole. That's fine with me." She got out the truck and slammed the door.

"Don't slam my mothaf*cking door!" I yelled out the window.

She put her hand in the air and flicked me off and I shook my head before speeding out of her driveway.

Maree's POV

"What did he say?"

I shrugged and took one of his fries.

"He asked me about who I was texting and I said nobody and he got in a mood." I shrugged.

It hurt my feelings that he acted like that so I really don't want to talk about it.

"Who were you texting?" He asked.
I frowned and chuckled.

"You." He laughed and so did I.

"It sounds like he's jealous; but he has nothing to worry about." He shrugged.

"I know, but I don't like the way he treated me."
I mumbled.

"Just talk to him. Matter of fact, let's go. I'll go with you to make sure you do it." He got up and grabbed my keys.

"No, I'm good." I responded with a shrug. Once I realized he didn't stop I called after him.

"August get back here with my KEYS!" I yelled as I jogged out the door after him.

I stood there nervously waiting for him to open the door.

But the thing was, I didn't knock, or ring the doorbell. It's because I'm nervous. Maybe I should just go. I don't really want to talk to him.

"Maree!" August yelled.
I stomped my foot and quickly pushed the doorbell.

"Coming!"
I scrunched up my eyebrows and let out a nervous sigh.

"Hey!" A short dark skin girl opened the door. She smiled at me and I looked back at my car.

August motioned for me to keep talking to her and I nodded.

"Are you Lucas's sister?" I blurted out.
She laughed and shook her head.

"No I'm his girlfriend. You're the girl who is dog sitting today?" She asked me.

I swallowed the lump in my throat and shook my head.

"No. His coworker. Sorry. I think I had the wrong day to come and talk about the job. I'm sorry-."
I was interrupted when Lucas opened the door more.

He froze when he saw me and somehow, I felt like I had been punched in the chest.

"Maree.....what are you doing here?" He asked.
I shook my head and shrugged.

"Wrong dates. I gotta go."
I quickly ran from his stairs and to my car.

I got in and slid on my hood.

"I don't get it. We just kissed and we seemed good for each other but I didn't want to rush anything. I guess he just......moved on." I sniffled.

August didn't say anything and I'm glad.
I just wanted to be in silence.

Once we got back to my house, I headed upstairs to get changed.

I changed into my night clothes and got in my bed.

"It's literally 2:17 Maree." August told me.
I let out a shaky sigh and nodded.

"I-I know. I'm j-just taking a nap."
He walked towards me and sat beside me in the bed.

"Me too bestie. Scoot over."
With a small smile, I moved over and let August lay beside me.

He laid his head on top of mine and got comfortable.

"Why can't I be loved?" I mumbled.
I heard August sigh and he shifted beside me.

"You are loved. You just need to open your eyes." He said lowly.

Open my eyes? What is he talking about.

I closed my eyes instead and I heard him smack his teeth.

"What are you talking about?" I ask him.
I turned to face him and he let out a small sigh.

"Nothing baybeh. Just.....go to sleep." He told me as he closed his eyes.
