Lathan's POV

I hop in the driver's seat.

"Where to?" I ask Amari

"Anywhere but here"

"So what I'm hearing is McDonalds"

"Where have you been all my life Lathan"

I chuckled.

Mari POV (after McDonalds trip)

I'm chewing on fries when I feel a pair of eyes staring at me. I glance over at Lathan and he's burning holes into me.

"Take a picture, it'll last longer" I say.

"How are you so calm?" He ask me

"About?..." I ask

"Tyrek, Mari."

"Should I? I'm in a car with my best friend enjoying a gourmet meal. What did you expect?"

"I don't know. Tears? You beating his ass?...Post breakup sex?"

"Lathan, I'm not gonna lie to you but Jay was looking a lil scrumptious with that spatula in his hand." I say this with the straightest face ever but as soon as I looked over at Lathan I completely lost it.

"You're cold hearted. Did you even love him? Do you want to love anyone else?" Lathan pulled the car into a driveway. I look over to my left to see my house. I look up to see an apartment complex which has three units stacked side by side.

"Why are we at your place?"

"Answer me." He said but I was choked up...

"Lathan this is how I see it, if you don't love the person, they can't break your heart. Tyrek repeatedly broke my heart, even when I don't think there are any more pieces to break. But one day it eventually stopped breaking. I loved him but it's time to let it go."

"Well Amari, here's how I see it, if you don't love the person, they can't break your heart. When I see you with him it breaks my heart and it kept breaking until today. I love you. Amari, you say we're just friends. But what kind of friends do the things we do? I loved you from the start, so it breaks my heart...when you say I'm just a friend to you."

"Mosey did your ass just recite me lyrics?"

"Mari...YOU, YOU GOT WHAT I NEEDDDDD WHEN YOU SAY I'M JUST A FRIEND."

"That song was not made for your damn voice. Silence suits you well."

"Get out my car."

"Excuse me." I say

"So we can go inside my damn house."

"Oh...won't Rosko see the car?"

"Yh, you right but who the fuck cares? If they want you they'll need to get you by force."

"I like the sound of that."

Mosey POV

This girl laughs at everything, even when it's not a fucking joke. I head to my front door and let her in.

"A nice place you have here Lathan."
