- short chapter, but it's needed for the plot.

aaliyah
"what if i fall in love with her"

analy pouted and pulled me in her arms as we sat on my bed. "i think you already have, my love".

billie dropped me off this morning, and since it was Saturday, i told analy to come over immediately after. i was still in awe after everything from yesterday. all i remember is crying and her hugging me.

i'm not even really sure why i was crying. i stayed up for a while thinking about all things billie and my dad related. next thing you know, i'm crying.

i told analy everything and now i'm just spilling my feelings everywhere.

"but what if she's just using me like how she uses that blonde girl.. and like every other girl..?" i asked

"aaliyah, I'm gonna be honest with you. i've known billie for a while now, but she hasn't changed since. she never cares deeply for the girls she talks to. she never lets the girls she brings to her house speak to her mom or brother. they always have to leave immediately. and she for sure doesn't let girls sleep in her bed with her and hug them while they cry."

i laid against analy's chest as i listened to her.

"ever since i've known her. she has never solidly dated anyone. just a bunch of flings and fuck buddies. i don't think she's playing you babe"

i sighed. this was too stressful to think about. and it made me even more stressed to see how she'd treat me when i saw her at school on monday.

"come on, let's eat something so i don't have to think so much".

she agreed and we ran downstairs, running into moon midway. as i was pulling stuff out of the fridge, i saw analy pick up a paper.

"what's that?" i asked with my back turned.

"i don't know. a folder for someone with the last name as yours" she replied

"well what's the name"

"mark"

i froze, dropping the fruits i was cutting back into the chopping board. i turned around and took the folder from analy.

my mom must've left it here by accident. i started flipping through it. this folder contained everything.

"aaliyah is that-"

i looked up at her and she frowned, pulling me into a tight hug.

i've opened up to analy about my dad and anger issues when she came into my room unannounced one day after i basically trashed it during an episode.

looking back at the folder, there were names, pictures, addresses. basically his living situation now. i have no clue why my mom has this, she's not allowed to work on his case since she's my mom and it goes against interests. she can only support mines.

i saw a face that looked familiar but i couldn't put my finger on it. i moved the page to analy and her eyes went wide.

"bro aaliyah, that's one of billies friends. kayla"

"wait really??"

analy nodded and pulled out her phone, searching up the kayla's instagram which showed a picture of her and the rest of billies friends.

"so you're saying i go to school with my dad's step daughter? and she just happens to be friends with the girl i like?"

analy looked at me and shrugged.

i sucked my teeth and closed the folder, pushing it towards the other end of the counter.

"i cant deal with that right now. let's just... make cookies or something. come on"

i pulled analy up and got some cookie dough from the fridge.

i played some music as analy fooled around, making a mess of the kitchen as she danced and sang.

she had spilled the chocolate chips all over the counter and some got on the floor.

as i was trying to clean it, i saw moon approaching a piece of chocolate and my heart dropped. "moon! no!"

he looked up at me and ran the other way. he was still a baby so he ran really funny looking, causing analy to laugh.

"bitch, this is your fault!" i exclaimed, picking up the last few chocolate chips.

"i'm- im sorry! but did you see how he ran? bro he like- galloped!" analy laughed even harder after saying that. i couldn't help but laugh with her as tears started to fall from her eyes.

soon, my mind was away from that folder and everything that had to do with my father.

once the cookies we're done, we went to the living room and decided to watch a movie.

"okay which one. Annabelle's creation or insidious ?" i asked.

"girl." analy took the remote from me, searching up the conjuring and playing the first one.

"the anabelle movies are wack. everyone knows the conjuring series outweighs every other one" she said, cuddling into me and the blanket over us.

"but insidious was pretty good. especially the last one" i protested.

"still not better than the conjuring!"

i went to defend my side but analy placed a cookie in my mouth, shutting me up. i huffed and laid my head on top of hers, paying attention to the movie in-front of us.

-some analy and aaliyah appreciation <3.
