I reached my apartment door and started to bang on it. "KAYLAH AUBREE RICHARDS OPEN THIS D-" She opened the door and she smiled like nothing wrong was going on.

I walked in there and Hannah came out of the kitchen holding a tray ready to say something. But she stopped seeing my face knowing something was about to pop off.

"Oh hey Kim. Want a cupca-."  Hannah got cut off.

Kaylah closed the door and sighed. "Girl what are you angry about?" She asked me in a confused tone.

I threw my bag onto the couch. "Because he found out about everything Kaylah! Everything! He found out about our little plan for me to get with him."

"Woah, woah, woah. Lamar already knew I was trying to set the both of you up. I've been trying to since the dance." Wait what? Now that I think about it, Lamar was giving me a lot of attention at the dance...

"The only thing he probably found out was that I was trying to figure out a way to get Julius off of his mind and frame him." Out of my peripheral vision I saw Hannah eating a cupcake.

I breathed in and out. "He found out that I was really jealous of them two."

After I said that. Hannah suddenly decided to speak. "Omg, THE Kimberlie Smith is jealous?!...Oh I might have to eat another cupcake."

"Hannah mind your business and you wanted to eat another one anyway. Sugarhead..." She shrugged and kept eating. Kaylah walked to me and sat me down on the couch.

"You just need to relax Kim. Just look, you got your man!" I looked down at my thighs.

"Do I really have him Kaylah? When he found out that Julius and Kyle were going out, he seemed angry. He brushed off the fact that you were trying to get me with him." She tried to make good out of a bad situation.

"He may feel betrayed that his best friend didn't tell him."

"I thought that too but while we were driving. We ran into them and Lamar was gripping the steering wheel hard as fuck...I think he still has feelings for Julius." Kaylah laid back on the couch sipping some red wine.

"Well if he does then we just try harder." I looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

"Do you not understand the situation that is happening right now? No we are not trying anything no more. We just let fate decide." She sipped her wine again as I made my statement.

"Fate takes too long for me. If I want somebody, I'm just going to shoot my shot period." I looked down again. Maybe she's right...I just don't want to force anything.

<🥀>

I opened the door to my apartment. "Jayden! I gotta tell you something bro!!" I heard no answer and I realized that the lights were off but I heard the shower.

"Well, I guess I'll wait." I smile ready to tell Jayden the big news. He's gonna be so happy for me. I can't even keep my composure. So this is what girls feel like sometimes?...I don't like it...

"Bro the fuck are doing in there? Beating your dick?" I laughed.

"Realmente sabes cómo arruinar mi estado de ánimo.  (You really know how to ruin my mood.) " I like getting under my brother's skin. It shows how much of a bond we have.

"Oh you will be aight, just get out the damn shower so I can tell you something."

"Alright, alright. callate." I heard the water turn off and I waited a few minutes for him to dry off.

I got up and walked to his room. "You take too long imma just-."

"Yo, get out you fucking creep!" I saw Jayden rushing to put his underwear on.

"Oh, I see. So you beat your dick after you shower. Not really smart but you do you." He started to put more of his clothes on and I stayed at the door. "Ight so when everyone left the auditorium today, I decided to ask Julius out."

Jayden stopped putting his shirt on and looked at me. "And what did he say?"

"He said yes bro! Can you believe that shit!"

He put his shirt on. "No."

"No? The fuck is your problem. I thought you'd be happy for me."

He sat on his bed. "Look, I am happy for you. I don't want nothing more to see you happy after all the shit we've been through. It's just that I don't think it's the right time."

"The fuck is that suppose to mean?" I started to get angry ready to charge at him and beat the shit out of him.

"It means what I said. Bro, don't lie. You are a fuckboy. Ok, you may be bi and you may like Julius. But what happens if another girl or boy brushes pass your way. You are going to have to fight the urge to have sex with them because you are in a relationship. Besides, this may be a phase and you may tell Julius that you are actually straight. Then what?" I stood there in the doorway listening to what he had to say.

"And it's not just you. I don't think Julius is ready either. I just hope he didn't say yes to cover up his own problems and feelings he has for Lamar. I just don't want to see either of you hurt. It's just going to get worse in the end." He got up and came to the doorway.

"Now if I'm wrong, and I really hope I am, I really support the both of you. Just know that I won't be keeping secrets between the two of you. I will spill the tea." I look at him and smile.

"Wait, I'm your brother. I come first, you're supposed to keep my secrets."

"What contract did I sign?" He chuckled and walked off.

"It's automatic because we are brothers!" I went after him.

"Let's go to McDonald's, I want a frappe." I chuckled and followed him out the door.

<🥀>

I am so pissed right now I don't even know what to do. I drove in front of the apartment building and I walked in going to my room.

I unlocked the door barging into the bedroom looking at Julius while he is on his laptop looking at his football highlights.

"Is it true?" He looked at me confused.

"Is what true?"

"Is it true you go out with Kyle?" It looked like his whole body froze and he couldn't answer my question. I'm guessing he was trying to figure out how I knew. "I found out through Kaylah. She was texting Kim about it." He closed his eyes and closed his laptop.

"Yes it's true." I balled up my fist and walked out of the room.

"Why is this such a big deal anyway Lamar?! You don't even like me any more. You like Kim!!" I turned around ready to punch him but I stopped myself and yelled out instead.

"Are you fucking serious right now!! I confessed to you Julius!! You said you were straight!"

"Yea and then I confessed back or did you forget about it because YOU WAS THINKING ABOUT KIMBERLIE'S PUSSY!" I swung, connecting my fist with his jaw and lip and he fell back. Oh shit, oh shit, what I do!!

Julius was bleeding from his lip. "Ju I didn't me-." I reached my hand to him and he knocked it away looking scared and angry at the same time. Not to mention he was crying.

He ran into the bathroom locking the door balling out crying. "FUCK!" I ran into the bedroom looking for my stash of weed somewhere in my closet. When I found it I had a flashback back then...

*FlashBack*

"Yo bro let me get some of that gas bro."

"How much do you want?" I gave him $50 and he looked at me and smiled.

"Oh so you trying to get lit today huh?" I shrugged and he gave me 20 grams of weed.

"You came through bro. I'm fucking stressed the hell out. You can come smoke this with me though cause I can't by myself."

"Shit, ight say less."

****

"Aye aye I can't believe...that you did that shit...on a public bus...." I took a puff and blew the smoke out. I was high as shit like I was in another dimension.

"Bruh, if it's there then you get what you get." He blew his smoke out too.

I was so focused on smoking that I forgot to open up the window so the smoke was just lingering and I was just inhaling. I started to get light headed and dizzy but I thought that was just an effect.

"Bro this jawn hitting bro." I took another puff, inhaled it and then....everything just went black..I could hear but I couldn't move at all.

"Yo nigga you aight?" He shoved me, slapped me, did everything he could to wake me up. But I didn't. "Oh shit.." I don't know what happened but everything was silent. I'm pretty sure he left me there.

Good thing the door was open so the smoke had somewhere else to go...But after that day. I realized that I was addicted to weed.

*FlashBack Ends*

"Fuck it, I can't take this no more." I cut up the weed and rolled up. I stared at the blunt and the lighter that was in my hand.

Don't do it... "I have to."

Don't do it... "I need to."

Don't do it... "I need it."

I lit up the blunt ready to put it into my mouth. But a hand grabbed it, throwing it outside the window. I looked to see it was Julius. He was crying and he stood there. He then slapped me and left the room.

I grabbed his wrist. "I'm sorry Julius. Please stay."

"No. Get off of me." I let go and he left out the room.

I dropped to the ground holding my head and I yelled starting to cry.
