I watched Ronnie as he walked off.
My heart shattered into a million pieces. Why couldn't he just tell me on the phone? Why'd I have to come out here to watch him walk away from me. His shadow disappeared as he drove off.
I drove home, I didn't want to but where else was I to go. How could Ronnie do that to me? I mean I understand he's probably upset about my brother hitting him but he made a promise to me. Why would he give up after one fight?
I unlocked the front door, My dad and mom sat in the kitchen, I ignored them as they ignored me. I walked up to my room, I looked over at Rashard's room. It was shut. Should I? I thought to myself.
I shook my head and went to my room, he probably wanted nothing to do with me. I walked in my bedroom and grabbed the picture frame of me and Ronnie and threw it as the glass shattered.
I took a shower and put on something more comfortable. I grabbed my phone and laid in bed when a knock came at my door.
"Who is it?" I asked.
"Rashard."
"Come in." I said, laying my phone down. "What?" I asked as he walked in.
"Are you mad?" He said sitting on the edge of my bed. "Yes." I said back. He looked down. "Well you have to get over it because I don't want you and him together sis." He said. I laughed at how dumb he was sounding, "Too bad. He called it quits." I said back, trying my best to hold back my tears. He laughed, "See, what'd I tell you, he's not good for you." Rashard said. "He was perfect for me..." I said back, bringing my knees to my chest and laying my head down. "He left you..." Rashard said, looking over at me. "YOU PUNCHED HIM." I yelled back. "He deserved it! You're my little sister Felicia!" He yelled back. "Get out." I muttered between my teeth. He shook his head and got up, shutting the door behind him.
The next day was even worst because I was going to have to see Ronnie today at school. I got ready and went downstairs to get a muffin. "Good morning Felicia" Rashard said to me I just looked at him and walked to get a bottle of water. "Really Felicia I said sorry, How many times do I have to say it?" he said annoyed. I walked out and went to grab my keys and my dad stopped me by grabbing my hand."Felicia come home straight after school we all need to talk. I snatch my hand away and just rolled my eyes. "Felicia I'm serious " OK! I heard you damn".
I get to school and of course the first person I see is Ronnie. we haven't talked since that night so I walked up to him. "Hey Ron, can we talk for a minute?". He just looked at me and said "um sure". We walk over to the courtyard and sit down.
"How could you leave like that, with nothing just left me?" i jump right to, I didn't want to beat around the brush
" Look Felicia, I care about you but this is to much for me to deal with, you should just move on"
" I know you don't mean that Ron you told me you loved me" I say getting a little hype all over again
"Felicia look it's over!" He gets up to walk away
I grab his hand and kiss him passionately like I did when we first had sex. I pull away and say "Now do you fell that, Ron I love you. Please don't leave me again."
Once again he does it he walks away. I ran to my car and drove home. I went to my room and just cried, I deleted everything, every picture, every message. At that point I decided to be done with it all.
*THAT NIGHT*
My dad calls me and Rashard down to the family room. I wash my face trying to make it seem like I wasn't crying, but to be honest I haven't stopped.
I finally make my way downstairs and my mom and dad were actually sitting next to each other, can't tell you how long its been since I have seen that. "Felicia, Rashard come sit down we have some news to tell you guys". I sit down and brace myself for the divorce news I just knew it had to be that. "Mom, Dad I just want to say sorry about last night and if you guys are getting a divorce I completely understand.." my dad instantly cuts me off " Divorce?Felicia we are not getting a divorce we are going on a couples retreat to work things out" they both laugh at what I said. " I realize that what I did was wrong and I love your mom and my family to much to give it up" she says looking at my mom like how he use to.
" So we leave for this retreat tomorrow morning and you guys will be here by yourself for 2 weeks, we will leave $500 for you guys to get food and whatever else, you can have some friends,but don't get to wild okay?" my mom explains to us
"now Felicia because Rashard is older he is in charge of things okay?" my dad says whiling looking at both of us
"Okay, I get it, but can Malia can spend the week with me cause there is no way in hell that I'm staying in this house alone with him" Malia was one of my closest friends and she always cheers me up so I thought why not have her over.
"That's find,but can you guys please try to work it out?" both my parents say. I don't even notice they said that mainly because I don't want to. "can I go back to my room?" I asked annoyed that I had to stay with Rashard the whole 2 weeks. "Felicia" Rashard calls after me as I was walking up the stairs "Felicia, I'm really sorry like I didn't mean to hit him,but how do you think I felt knowing that you guys were sneaking around behind my back?" "that's were you get things all fucked up shard, I was bringing him home to tell you guys about us that night,but your so damn ignorant that you had to go a fuck everything up, your the reason why he left me it's your fault I can't stop crying, GOD YOUR SUCH A DUMBASS!" I say with all the anger building back up in my body. "Felicia, Ronnie is the type of guy to hit and qu-" "NO RASHARD THAT'S YOU!" I scream at him and just go back to my room slamming my door. This was going to be the longest 2 weeks of my life.....
