All Good Things ( Urban )

Chapter VI

Kalani P.O.V

Before I could even get home, King was calling my phone. At first I ignored it but he just wouldn't stop calling.

I sighed picking up the phone "Hello."

"Yo, what the fuck was that about Kae?!" he was yelling so loud I had to take the phone off of my ear and put it on speaker.

While I was ignoring his calls I showered and put on a t-shirt I took from my brother and shorts, now I was trying to get comfortable in bed but I just couldn't. I knew I was being childish for being upset with him while he just saved me from getting my ass beat, but I just really wasn't up for a discussion right now.

"It was nothing; I really don't want to talk about this rig-"

"I don't give a fuck what you want to talk about right now! You just expect me to walk up on my girl getting choked up by some random nigga and not ask questions? What's up with you man? "He asked

"He wasn't some "random" guy and I said I DONT want to talk about it at the moment so leave it alone baby please." I sweetly asked him

"Iight b" he hung up before I could reply.

I know I should tell him the truth. I should open up to him the same way he's opened up to me but it's hard. I really like him and it's too early to tell right now but I might love him and the last thing I want to do is chase him away with my baggage and my stubborn and damaged personality. I know he's pissed at me and I hope he gets over it soon. He has anger issues and I should've handled him differently but it's too late now.

I went to sleep with everything that transpired heavy on my mind. This is nothing that a 17 year old girl should have to go through.

I haven't heard from Jay in 3 days and it's starting to piss me off. Our little disagreement wasn't even that serious so I decided to go to one of the barbershops that he and his brother own to see if I could get him to talk to me.

I pulled up to the shop in Crown Heights and hopped out my truck, locking it twice to set the alarm. When I walked in I immediately locked eyes with him and he didn't look happy to see me at all. I walked up to him and said 'Hey' and he replied with a head nod.

"Can we talk "I said?

"Nah we good" he replied with an attitude

"Are you serious right now?"

He sighed "Talk, Kalani"

"Can we go somewhere in private" I asked

He sucked his teeth and then got up and walked out of the shop to my car. I was extremely embarrassed by how he just treated me in front of all of those people but that's not what I came to talk about.

"What's good?" he said

"I haven't heard from you in days, what's good with that?"

"You not boutta tell me what I wanna know so why bother?

"Because I'm your girlfriend nigga duh"

"Yeah whatever "he says with a chuckle

He was really testing my patience .Like really. But I didn't want to start an argument that could potentially end this relationship.

"Whatever?" I ask "Jeffrey I don't know what the fuck your problem is but you're not getting any fucking where with that bitch ass attitude!"

He just laughed. This nigga is really crazy like what the fuck is he laughing for.

"Why you here? like what's up? What we need to talk about ?"

" the guy was my ex , Ty" I sheepishly admitted

"and why was he on you like that"

"He thinks we're still together, he got out of jail a while ago I guess." I knew we would have this convo eventually Im just not ready for it but I have no choice now. "I got with him at the end of 9th and it wasn't good. He was possessive , he watched everything I did , He decided what I could and couldn't wear. I literally couldn't talk to any guy or he would go off, friend or not , I could only talk to my family. He was verbally and mentally abusive. He ruined my self-esteem completely and I just let him. He started getting physical last year and by that point I wanted nothing to do with him but I couldn't get rid of him, he wasn't having it"

I noticed that his jaw was clenching and he was balling his fists and cracking his knuckles like he was getting ready to fight. By this point I was crying and I had his undevided attention. The only time he unbaled his fist was to wipe my tears. I continued.

"He hit me all the time, over the tiniest little things. He always told me that if I was "his bitch" than I would need to be more disciplined and that that was what he was doing. He always said that the other girls he was fucking with we're better than me and that they liked him more because they fucked and sucked and did whatever he told them to do , but I wasn't for it. I always told him that since they were so much better then he should give up on me and just be single instead of cheating all the time but he said he "loved "me. He used to beat me so bad that I couldn't walk and I had bruises all over and everyone noticed , my friends , my sisters , my coaches. I had to literally beg everyone not to say anything" I told him everything that had transpired between Ty and me down to the final fight that had been the reason why he was in jail and he was beyond pissed and I was crying hysterically.

"Give me all his information, ima handle him baby" he said as he held me

"Don't get yourself in trouble Jay please."

"If I let somebody else do it won't mean nothing, I'm not sloppy, and I know how to handle this. I love you and the most important thing to me right now is you're safety. "He said

I looked in his eyes and I knew he meant what he just said. And I knew for a fact that I loved him too and at that point I wasn't gonna deny it anymore

"I love you too." I replied

He kissed me with more passion than ever and got out the car but not before promising me that I had nothing to worry about and I believed him. It's only been a little over two months but fuck it, I know it's real and I'm not gonna try to make by self believe otherwise. I love him.
