Erin Pov

I woke up to banging on my door. The plan was to sleep in, but I guess not. I walked downstairs to see who it was. I peeked. It was Jamal. I opened the door. "What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I'm an idiot. How could I ever believe I could live without you?" He walked in and grabbed me by the waist. "I'm in love with you." He kissed me with so much passion. My legs wrapped around him and he carried me upstairs. He laid me on the bed ad pulled his shirt off. This was going to lead to sex. I'm a virgin. I just can't let that happen! He was trying to pull down my shorts.

"No Jamal. I'm not ready." He sighed.

"Okay. Can you forgive me?" I stared into his eyes. "Be my girl again." He pulled my ring from his pocket and placed it on my finger. Tears formed in my eyes.

"Please don't hurt me again." He held me really tight.

"I promise Erin Nicole Johnson." I kissed him. Jama was back in my life. I was happy again. My phone rang. It was Dre.

"Hey, wassup?" I rushed.

"Chilling. Wanna hang out today?"

I hesitated. "Round what time?"

"Two good?"

"Sure. See you then." I hung up. Jamal looked at me questiongly.

"Who was that?"

"Andre."

"Uh huh. Get dressed."

"Why?"

"We're going to brunch."

"Since when do you do brunch?"

"Since now. Get dressed."

NY 11:45 a.m.

Alisha Pov

My eyes were so dry when I woke up. I fell asleep clutching the bear Chaz gave me for my birthday. It was human size. I got up to get in the shower. I turned on Pandora and stepped in. Pills n Potions by Nicki Minaj came on. I started crying again. Damn, I wanted to be so done with this. It wasn't fair. It just wasn't fair. I washed my hair as Nicki sang and got out the shower. After drying off, I put on a purple underwear set and walked in my room. Chaz was sitting on my sofa.

"What are you doing here?" I mumbled. I put on a big sweater and some black tights with my black sparkly UGGS.

"I came to let you know I'm safe."

"Great. Get out now."

"Lisha don't do that. I'm really sorry. I'll never cheat on you again."

"You won't get the chance to. We're not getting back together. Now leave. Trinity is almost here." He scoffed.

"That bi- I mean where y'all going?"

"Out." A car hunked. "That's her. I'll show you out." I walked in fornt of him and he grabbed me by the waist and crushed me to him. I immediately broke down. "How could you chaz?" He just wiped my tears and kissed me. I felt so much love behind it. I broke apart and walked away. Trin was waiting in her blue Bug.

"I wouldn't trust her," Chaz mumbled.

"You're one to talk," I shot back. I got in the car.

"What was that about?" Trin asked.

"He's trying to make up for his mistake. I'll show him."

Trinity Pov

"Josh and I broke up." She snapped her head at me.

"What? Why??" I couldn't tell her I cheated on her cousin. She'd hate me.

"He came over this morning and said it wasn't working."

"That jerk!" I'm the jerk. I did my best not to cry. How could I do my best friend like this? Alisha was never going to forgive me. I'm the reason why she and Chaz are over. "Pull over and get on the passenger side."

"What?" I obeyed anyway. She got on the driver's side and turned the car around. "Where are we going Alisha?"

"Just sit back and relax. I'll take care of this."

        Twenty minutes later we were at Josh's house. I felt nauseous. It was going to go down. Josh was sitting on his porch. Alisha got out the car.

"Alisha no!" I screamed. She mched over to Josh. I jumped out the car. "Stop!"

"You stupid jerk!" Alisha screamed. "How could you hurt my best friend? She's perfect for you!"

"Perfect?" Josh spat. "That bitch is no where near perfect Alisha." I flinched when he called me a bitch.

"Don't call her that!"

"Alisha let's go," I pleaded.

"Why did you break her heart? She loves you!"

"SHE CHEATED ON ME!" My heart stopped.

She looked at me. "Is this true?" Lie! Lie! Lie!

"No. He's right. I cheated on him."

"Trinity now-"

"It was a fucking hug Josh!" He looked shocked.

"You broke up with her over a hug?" Alisha growled.

"What the fuck? No! She fucked Chaz!"

ATL 2:00 p.m.

Dre Pov

Erin was in my front yar at two on the dot. I was waiting too.

"Right on time," I announced. "We're going in MY Range." She nodded and walked to her side. I beat her there and swatted her hand away from the car handle.

"What?" she asked. I opened the door and helped her in. She laughed, I got in the car and dove to the park. I parked and opend her door. We walked to the swings. She was silent the whole car ride.

We sat on the swings. "What's wrong Erin?"

"Jamal and I got back together." My heart sank.

"That's bad?" Hell yeah.

"No... I can't really hang with you anymore. He thinks you likeme. So if he can't hang with Asia, I can't hang with you." I gave a dry laugh. "Buf you don't like me, right? If I tell him-"

"I do like you. Always have." She just stared at me.

"Andre...."

"Ready to go?" she sighed and nodded. We started walking to the car when a strangeer stopped us.

"You two are super cute! Can I take you guy's picture? I love seeing cute couples!" Erin looked at me. I just handed the woman my phone. She took like two pictures and we left. The drive home was awkward. I'd find myself glancing at her. I pulled up to her crib and let her out.

"I'm sorry Andre."

"You good." I hugged her and got back in the car. She walked in the house and I called up Kennedy.

"What Dre?"

"Let me come over."

"Fuck no."

"Okay. I'm on the way."
