Detroit Elevado|A Love Story|

Chapter 15.

Tiana...

A week later

I sat in my room as I listened to Music. My mind started wandering about what's been happening these past few days.

The way I left Dario after that kiss. I didn't mean for it to go that way, I guess I kinda got freaked out. Don't get me wrong, I like him but it just didn't feel right to me.

Although I shouldn't have left him hanging at the play, he probably hates me now.

I wanted to talk to him badly, but I was scared of rejection. Would he curse me out? Or would he hear what I had to say? At this point, so many thoughts were running through my mind that I didn't know what to do or how to react.

I picked up the phone and decided to FaceTime him.

My heart fluttered as I watched the words 'connecting...' come on the screen.

I was scared, I didn't know what to say. What was there to say? I left him hanging at the play, and didn't bother giving him a explanation about it either.

I'm surprised he even answered.

"You gonna talk or you just gonna stare at the screen?" Dario managed to say.

I was taken back by his harsh words, but I ignored his smart remark.

I deserved it.

"Uh nah, Ima talk. You got a minute?"

Well, that's a dumb question to ask, way to go Tiana. Obviously he has a moment if he answered, right?

Dario nodded his head, giving me a clue to go on.

"First I wanna start off with saying I'm sorry..You didn't deserve that at all, and I regret it all. I don't know why I even ran away, I guess I was just scared you know? The last thing I want is for you to be mad at me that would really---"

He cut me off.

"Don't even worry about it. It's coo, I'm not trippin." Dario said blankly.

I couldn't quite read the expression on his face, but if I didn't know any better I would say he didn't really give a fuck.

"Well alright, um maybe we could meet up later today? You know---"

"Tiana, it's coo. I'm busy right now actually I'll hit you up when I can"

And without even a simple 'bye' he hung up in my face. I stared at the screen for a few minutes soaking in what just happened.

Was he really that mad? So mad that he didn't have time to have a simple conversation.

I sighed heavily as I buried my face into my pillow & screamed. I fucked everything up.

What am I gonna do?

Justys..

"This is the 8th time I called him, no answer amber." I spoke as I stood up from my kitchen table.

"Girl calm down, he probably out with meech or some shit."

"I doubt it. In a minute I'm really about to go off, this is ridiculous."

Lo hasn't talked to me all day, and at this point I don't know what to expect.

You might think I'm overreacting, but this is the 3rd time he's done this to me.

Lately, shit has been really weird between me and him. We barely talk to be specific.

What type of 'boyfriend' does this bullshit?

I've been trying to let stuff slide because I don't wanna be on his head all of the time, but I think this May trigger everything off.

"Go to his house then." Amber suggested.

It's like a lightbulb went off in my head.

"You know what...I will. C'mon"

"Girl no, you do that on your own. You not finna have me looking crazy witchu." Amber laughed.

I straight faced her as I flicked her off.

"Fine asshole. I will then."

"I still love you, girl." Amber laughed, as she hugged me and grabbed her coat soon heading it my front door.

Shortly after she left, I ran upstairs and rummaged through my closet, soon finding some grey sweats, a pink long sleeved shirt and my black timbs.

I slipped over my hoodie, along with my scarf and headed down the street, in the direction of Lo's house.

Lo lived about 20 minutes away from where I lived, which was a far way to walk in the cold. But I'm sure it'd be worth it. Cussing him out would always be worth it.

As I continued to walk, my phone began to ring. I looked at the caller ID & saw it was no other than lo. I rolled my eyes as I answered the phone.

"What?"

"Babe?what's wrong with you?"

Is this nigga serious? Or just flat out dumb?

I took a deep breath before my mouth would say something I would probably later on regret.

"What do you mean what's wrong with me? You haven't hit me up all day."

"My bad, Uh, I left my phone in the house. I been gone all day, calm down."

I knew he was lying. I could hear it in his voice. Who in the hell leaves their phone in the house all day? Especially Lo.

"Alright whatever, I'm on my way over there bye."

I hung up without giving him a chance to speak. We would just have to handle this situation in person.

Mariya..

I was laying down in Lo's room, as he soon came out the bathroom scratching his head.

"Uh, Riya you gotta go. My mom is on her way, and I don't want her trippin out on me."

He spoke fast. He was lying. I knew him better than that. Instead of arguing with him, I nodded my head as I began to grab my shoes and put them on.

"Damn, she never tripped before."

"I know, but you know how she is. Bipolar and shit."

I laughed, as I made my way to his front door, with him following behind me.

I turned around, and hugged him tightly, soon feeling his lips against mine.

I had to admit, I kindve felt bad about what was happening, but I always had a crush on Lo. Way before Justys came into the picture. And, from my understanding they've been broken up for the past month.

Well, in Lo's eyes.

"Ima see you tomorrow right?" He smirked.

"Yeah, of course, and--"

I was cut off by the sound of the door opening, revealing Justys.

She looked at the both of us, as Lo slowly moved his arms from around my waist.

What was she doing here?
