I promise ;Ailani and uso

25 .

A couple days later ..
Today I was going over to jeys house and we were just going to hang out before we head on the road again. We haven't been talking in a while ever since I came back so I'm hoping everything is good... with us.
I get in my car and drive my way to his house, it was around 4 .
I make it there in 20 minutes and knock on the door and a couple minutes later he answers . We walk inside the living room
"Heyy " I smile at him and we sit down .
"..hey" he says dryly.
We sat there in uncomfortable silence . It was just awkward and weird .
"What the hell are we doing !?" I sit up, looking at him .
"What.?"
" how come all of a sudden we can't talk to each other ?" I stand up .
He breathes and stands up while looking down and out of nowhere, a year falls down ."I think we need a break .." his voice cracked .
Those six words burnt a hole in me .
" wha- what ? Why ..?" I hold back my tears .
" I-I- I'm no good for you . I don't deserve you " he still has his head down .
" th- that's not a g-good reason ." I swallow a big lump in my throat .
That's when tears start falling . All over my face .
" it's like I cause every bad thing to happen to you .. I don't deserve you maliu " he used my last name .
He wasn't being serious..
" you used my last name , your not serious ." I walk up to him and put my hands on his cheeks making him look at me .
" everything that has happened to me is .. is a good thing . "
" how .." he puts his head down .
"Because I'm better now . A-and I have you "
He sighs and looks back up to me . His eyes red and puffy "I love you "
When he says that , I try to kiss him but he holds my arms " ..but we need a break " he drops my arms .
" please don't do this ! Jey.. whatever it is we can talk about it !.." he doesn't answer me and wipes his eyes fast so I couldn't see the tears .
" okay ... I'll l-leave " I grabbed my purse and made my way to the door . I opened it but turned back at him " I love you .."
He whispers " I love you too maliu.." .
I close the door and go to my car and just sit in there . Eventually I make it home and just walk in shutting the door and make my way towards the kitchen .
Then that's when I broke down . It wasn't a normal cry . It was one of those cries when you try to scream but nothing comes out . The cry when there's a big lump in your throat.. the kind of cry that just makes your vision blurry because of all the tears and gives you a headache.
I walk to the cabinet and grab a bottle of tequila. I stared at it knowing I shouldn't but the other side of my mind was telling me to just go for it .

I open the bottle and take two long sips . Don't worry , I wasn't drunk .
As I wipe my mouth I hear my phone ring . I turn around and see it was my mom calling . I rolled my eyes , answering the call .
" hello " I sniffle
" ahh . I see my plan worked .." she said quietly , thinking I couldn't hear her .
" what ,did you just say ?" . My mom was the sneaky type . She believed that she knew everything that was and wasn't right for me . It was like she wanted to control me like I was her , that's why I'm close with my dad . I don't see how he put up with her .
" I-I didn't say nothing sweetie " she claims with her Spanish accent .
" mhm" I say and hang up . She had to tell jey something to break up with me . She had to because he USED my last name . When he's serious , he uses my first name sternly. But he didn't say it not once .

  I change into a sweater and sweats and run downstairs to grab my keys and I in out to my car and start driving to his house .
I make it there and parked in his driveway. I grabbed the key from under the mat and walked in the house . I walk straight down the hall and see the lights on in the kitchen and living room .
" hello !?" I hear him yell . He must be in the kitchen .
I turn the corner and spot him but his he wasn't faced towards me .
" it was my mother wasn't it ." He jumped at my voice and turned around .
My voice breaks "it was m-my mother wasn't IT..!?"
He nods his head . I just scoff and walk around in circles with my hands on my head . I start breathing harder and harder
" calm down , calm down " he speaks.
" no . I can't ! Why would she do this after we been together for six months .." I tilt my head and stare at him .
" what did she say to you . ?" He looks down and then back up to me
" she would end my career.. she said she would end my career A tear falls down his face , not to mention his hair is down and kinda messy which I always thought was a turn on .. for me .
" I didn't want to break up with you ailani. I just didn't know what she was capable of "
I shush him and walk over to him and grab his face " hey , it's gonna be okay. She's not gonna do anything, she just likes to get under people's skin okay ?" I looked him in the eyes .
" okay " his hands wrapped around my waist and he was hesitant to kiss me but I wanted it .
I went in to kiss him and that turned into a make out session . " I love you "
He smiles " I love you too "
He looks over at the time and looks back at me " there's uh , something I wanted to ask you on our anniversary. Which is in a couple of minutes " .
It was 11:58 pm right now and our seven month anniversary was tomorrow/ in a couple minutes .
" well " I look at the clock " happy seven month anniversary papi" I planted a kiss on his lips .
" now what's your question " I smile , not knowing what it could be .
