Flight 1

Flashbacks.

"Uh..." I said. I just got out of a relationship, is he really serious?

I don't know what to say, I don't like him that way.

He kept looking in my eyes.

"Donte, I just got out of a relationship, I'm sorry." I felt pretty bad. Everything Donte does for me and I turn him down.

He rubbed his face and turned away from me.

"I know, I shouldn't have asked you anyways though." He licked his lips and began to walk to the door.

Even if I did love Donte like that, I still wouldn't be his girlfriend, because I just broke up with someone.

He slammed the door. Really?

                    Why does he have to get mad at me like I did something wrong?

I sat down on my bed and thought about what happened. I don't know what's going to happen, but he better not act salty towards me.

I soon fell asleep.

**********************

I woke up and noticed it was really late. I looked at my watch and read, 1:45.

How could I possibly sleep in so late?

                    I got up and took a shower. I stalled as long as I could so I did not have to see Donte. I know that this is really childish to do, but its really awkward to know that someone you call a brother-like friend, likes you...

I finished brushing my teeth and went downstairs. To my surprise, Donte was not here. He probably was at work. I guess I slept through him leaving because I forgot it was near 3:00 Pm.

I got something to eat and sat down in the living room, watching the television and waiting for Donte to come back.

Donte POV

I walked up to the front desk at the Foot Locker I worked at and told my boss I was heading out. My shift ends at 4:00.

I got in my car and pulled off, going home.

I pulled up to my apartment and opened the door. Kayla was sitting on the couch and doing something on her phone.

"Hey." She greeted me. I took my shoes off and sat them by the door.

"Hi." I said plainly.

"What's wrong with you?" She asked, hinting my attitude.

"Nothing." She knows damn well.

"Donte, are you mad about yesterday?"

I hate that she has to bring this up.

"Nah." I licked my lips and sat down on another couch. I'm not going to be mad at Kayla when she did not do anything, but the fact that I got turned down, makes everything awkward.

I'm not a begger, so I'm not going to beg Kayla for anything. That's not me.

"I'm sorry." She said after a long silence.

"What are you sorry about?" I asked.

"I feel like I can't be your girlfriend." She said.

"Why?"

"I can't. I just broke up with Dlo because he cheated on me." She stood up.

"I would never do you like that." I assured her.

"This is just going to ruin our friendship and if you ever leave me I'll have no one." She started pacing in a circle.

"Calm down."

"I can't trust men anymore. You know what my stepdad did to me, I can't go through that pain anymore."

"Stop. You don't have to be with me, just calm down." She sat down.

"But I want to." She looked at me.

"Kayla, If you did you wouldn't have said any of this. I understand you just broke up with someone, I could deal with that. Don't force yourself if you don't want to be with me." I sighed.

"Its all hard, you don't understand." She shook her head and looked away.

"Im not forcing you. Damn." She is annoying me. I'm not putting a gun up to her head or anything, she needs to calm down.

*********************

Kayla POV

I went upstairs into my room. I don't know what's wrong with me right now. I keep having flashbacks of my stepdad, which is the worst.

I don't know what I want. I can't picture me and Donte together, but I feel like I need him to be more than a friend. I guess I'll find out.

Hey guys,

I know this chapter was super short, but it was a filler. I had to have a base for my next chapter.

Anyways, bye
