AS ALYAH RELAXED ON her bed reading a novel, a knock was heard on her window. "the fuck." she spoke to herself. "let me in." vinnie replied. alyah sighed in relief. "oh thank goodness, i thought it was a trumpie breaking in."
"why would it be a 'trumpie'?" vinnie closed the window and placed his backpack and skateboard onto her floor. "in case you haven't noticed, i have a biden flag up. matter of fact i got 10 of them up."
"oh. well i brought my backpack since i'm gonna be here for two weeks." alyah nodded and continued reading. "uh, wanna watch a movie?"
"can't i've been procasinatuing on reading this book and now i got the time and i'm not gonna ruin it." vinnie lied beside her in bed and read along with her. "are you and maddy done?"
vinnie sat up. "listen, don't get all excited or anything but i do think i'm gonna break up with her. she seems so different. ever since we hung out and ate at this vegan place she's been so off. she doesn't want to make tiktoks or even learn how to skateboard anymore."
alyah felt her heartbeat racing. "vinnie, i'm so sorry." he looked at her confused. "for..?" she closed her book almost immediately and looked at him. "i stalked you and followed maddy afterwards and she was fucking kio and i swear i'm not making it up."
vinnie's stomach got sick and he looked away from her. "wow, and you couldn't tell me this earlier?" "vinnie im sorry."
she brought him in for a hug but he refused. "vinnie..." he stood up and looked at her. "no! alyah what the fuck. i thought you cared about me. why would you keep this from me? this is so important. why, just why.."
"i wanted to blackmail her to ruin your relationship because i love you!" she stood up and looked him in the eyes. "you don't love me, you're just obsessed with me. this is an addiction, not love and it never will be."
"vinni-" "save it. i don't want to hear it. i'm leaving. don't talk to me ever again." vinnie picked up his possessions before storming out. he slammed the door leaving alyah standing there with tears rolling down her face.
but, she knew she couldn't let this situation end like this. alyah ran after him and stopped him. "alyah please let me go through."
"no. i'm sorry but you're gonna have to forgive me. sure, you can leave but you can't hold a grudge against me. i'm carrying your baby! actually, no. you don't have to forgive me because i am sick of trying! i am sick of always having to be the one showing love! it was the same in our relationship! you broke my heart and i'm not over you but i know that you don't want me.. not how i want you."
vinnie looked at her and felt terrible. "i'm sorry, alyah. i'm sorry for not trying enough when we dated, and i'm sorry for not trying enough now. i do love you, a lot. i don't show it because i don't know how. our relationship is so weird, because i'm never on good terms with any of my exes. they all end up ghosting me. ive never felt this much love from anybody and that's saying something, alyah."
alyah placed a kiss on him which left him puzzled. he kissed back anyway. he knew that it was cheating, but maddy did it first, therefore it was okay if he did it since their relationship was practically dead.
they stood there kissing until vinnie backed away. "i cant. i need to try to fix my relationship with maddy. i don't want another ex." he turned around and left.
