Two months had gone by, JB still hadn't spoken to Jayda. He would ignore her calls and texts. He would only go to his mum's house only when she wasn't there and if she was, he'd make up an excuse to leave. Jayda had decided to just give him his space and leave him until he was completely over it.
Amirah and JB had been going strong, they had worked through their issues and were happier than ever. LK and Armani were also happy in their relationship. The gang had regular group dates which they all enjoyed. They had become like a big family as everyone was in their pairs. Grace and ST had finally started something and the boys were happy to see that ST was finally settling down with one girl. Whilst R1 and Naz preferred to be friends with benefits.
The issues that had occurred months before had been forgotten as Shaznay had not made an appearance ever since and there was no retaliation from Charmz' boys. The gang were excited to have no problems but little did they know a storm was coming that would affect all of them, some more than others.

Armani's POV
My birthday is in two days, finally going to be 21. I would be celebrating in a big event in a club, I couldn't even remember the name. Everyone was due to be there and I was extremely excited. Me and the girls had been planning our outfits for weeks. I was even more excited to see what LK would be getting me. I had been trying to snoop around to get an idea but he had left no traces and I was beginning to get frustrated.
I knew Amirah knew because her and LK were like bestfriends. He would tell her everything so she definitely knew but she won't tell me so I guess I have to wait until Saturday to see.
Tomorrow we begin the celebrations of my birthday as the gang is having a little linkup at our house and then Saturday is the big night.

Jeremiah's POV
I was headed to my mums house. I had ignored Jayda for long enough now, I missed her. I know there had to be a reason for her to betray me like that, maybe she didn't mean to. I wouldn't blame her if she didn't. I kept what happened in that type of lifestyle away from her in order to protect her. I guess I didn't do a good job.
As I pulled up, I noticed her entering. "Jayda", I called out. She turned quickly and ran to me. "Jeremiah I'm so sorry, I know nothing will ever excuse me but I'm so sorry", she cried out. She was my little sister at the end of the day and I couldn't stay angry at her for long. Everyone made mistakes. We went in the house and chilled like the old times, sitting round as a family. "Oh I almost forgot to tell you, Alina is back" , she said.
When I heard that my face dropped. Alina was LK's ex, the only girl other than Armani he has ever taken seriously. When I say he loved her off like proper. They only broke up because she was moving to live with her dad and they couldn't handle the distance. I didn't even know if LK ever fully got over her. After that he just gave up on girls until Armani of course.
This was sure to put a spanner in the works. I hoped he is over her though because Armani was a really good girl and he'd be a dickhead to lose her. I decided to let him know so he was prepared.

LK's POV
I was chilling in my house tryna get Marni's presents in order. I had got her the Yves Saint-Laurent heels since she had her eye on them, also got her a Chanel tote bag and because I know she values meaningful presents I had also got her a pillow with bare pictures of me and her. I was happy to spend all this money on her because she was worth it. I had sworn off girls after things didn't work out with my ex but Armani had changed me.
When I was done, I clocked a missed call from JB. I called him back and when he answered he sounded off. I asked him what's wrong and the answer he gave was one I wasn't even tryna hear "Alina is back on ends". This was really not the time. Why when I'm finally good, she decides to rock up? I had managed to forget about her and now she was back. I didn't even know how to feel. This was the first girl I loved. Even at times I'd find myself comparing Armani to her but I would quickly brush the feeling away. Alina was back. What am I going to do?
**********
It was now Friday and the gang were all at Amirah and Armani's house. They were waiting on LK to come with Marni's presents. As the girls were dancing and being silly in the living room , the 3 boys were discussing LK's situation. "Alina is back and she's probably gonna step tomorrow and then he's pissed", said JB as he stressed for his bestfriend. "Nah I think he will be fine, he looks like he's all for Armani." , ST tried to reassure the boys. "We only think that because Alina hasn't been in the picture, we all know he loved her off properly and I don't know if he ever stopped.", R1 said as he shook his head. This situation was stressful for the boys because the family would break if LK did anything to Armani and that was all long.

LK's POV
As I was gathering Marni's presents, I heard a knock on my door. I left the presents on the sofa and went to go see who's knocking my door. I definitely wasn't expecting anyone. I opened the door and there she was. I didn't even have words. She looked prettier than she ever was, had put on weight in the right places.
"Lucas", I put my arms out to hug her. I had missed her and she was actually here in front of me. I invited her in, I couldn't even think straight right now. She came in to the living room and saw the pillow, she looked at me. I could see that she was hurt. "I see you have a girlfriend now" , she whispered. I couldn't find the words to say that I did. All I could do was just stare at her. She picked up the bag and scoffed.
" You must really love her". I looked down and said " I don't know if I do". She stepped closer to me, " is there any chance for us". I didn't even know myself. She continued to step closer. She leaned upwards. She plants a soft kiss at the edge of my lips. I just stood there until she fully kissed me. Then I kissed her back. I didn't stop her.
I just cheated on Armani. I finally pulled away and said " I'm sorry but you need to go, I'm going out". She looked at me and smiled , " that's fine I'll see you tomorrow at the party". My heart stopped. She's going to be at the party. So is Armani.
**********
As LK got in his car to drive to Armani's, he found himself growing angry at himself. Armani was a good girl and he had just fucked it. When he got to the house, he was nervous about seeing Armani. After doing what he just done, he was going to smile in her face like everything was perfect.
Armani was the one to open the door and her smile grew wide when she saw the presents in his hand. She grabbed them and jumped on him giving him a big kiss. LK shifted nervously but Armani was too excited to notice and she ran to show the girls.
LK slowly walked into the living room, said his hellos to the girls whilst he signalled for the boys to come in the kitchen. Once the boys were all in, he shut the door. "Ay bro wargwaan for you", asked JB. LK looked down guiltily, " I jammed, Alina came over and I jammed big time". All three of the boys looked at him in shock.
Men are what? Trash. Writing this chapter really annoyed me. Poor Armani🥺
