Taking My City

One Month Later

Chapter 4: 3-6

1 month later.

 

<Kelsey Collins>Alot has happened over the first month. First off...Miya and Trey are actually official and they're together. Ever since the party Miya hasn't left him alone. Cassie actually goes with James now and Trey is jealous. He actually does have feelings for Cassie but ever since that party...when he made that move of kissing her...they're still in the 'friends' category. Cassie still doesn't have feelings for Trey but she's with James and shes not sure if he likes her still. And I only know this because Trey and Cassie have been telling me everything,flat out everything. Dana and Deron broke up...cuz she caught him cheating. We were all at the movies and no one knew Dana was there. But she saw him spitting game on that Tamera girl. So that was the end of them. It's been another month and I still don't know where Miya and our fathers are...this is crazy like real crazy. My dad wouldn't pull this shi+ on us...that's way too long to not keep in touch with somebody! But whatever

 

not going to even stress on it because he'll be back...

<Keymora Jackson>

Today's Saturday and Trey is hanging out with the triplets. I got a job at some computer building and I'm a secretary. We need to go shopping because Trey is having all his friends over. "Floyd...come on baby we gotta go to the store." I said shaking him. He was asleep on top of me and we were on the couch watching a movie. "Come on Keymora...let's just stay here for the rest of the night." He groaned. I laughed. "We gotta get groceries cuz Treys friends are sleeping over I said. "Naw babe. Just make him go to the store."He said. "Well...he's not here Floyd! We still gotta leave!" I said giving him a kiss. He got up and we both got dressed and left out the door. We pulled into Targets parking lot and I saw Aaliyah and Darnell leaving. I still didn't like Aaliyah that much...but I had to admit...her

 

And Darnell really loved eachother. They were walking out and he was holding onto her and they both had a grin on their face. I knew they had it like Floyd and I did. "Hey,what you guys doing here?" Aaliyah asked us. I looked at Floyd and he was looking at her like a dog! Oh hell naw! I just smiled and said,"Groceries,where you guys headed?" I asked. "To the movies now...we going at 10...you guys wanna come?" Darnell asked. I didn't hear the rest cuz I walked away...I couldn't believe Floyd was looking at her like that. I grabbed a cart and went to an ile and started fillin up my cart of snacks when the man ahead of me caught my eye. I gasped. I took my cart and tried to run away from here...but he called my name. "Keymora?Is that you?" He asked. I stopped in my tracks and turned around and tried to put a smile on my face. It was Tyler. Tyler. Tyler. It was fuking Tyler! What the hell was he doing here?! "Uh...hi." I choked out. Damn! I wish I could just disappear. The last time I saw

 

him...I whooped his ass and threatened I'd kill him! He smiled. "I haven't seen you...in a while." He said. I just smiled. "So...you here by yourself?" He asked. "Uh n-n-no Im h-here with F-Floyd." I stuttered. I thought he'd get mad at hearing his name but he didn't. His face was still calm. He smiled. "I thought so. What are-" He stopped talking as Floyd came behind me. He wrapped his arm around my waist and put his head on my shoulder and glared at Tyler. Tyler got this look on his face and I sware him and Floyd just stared at eachother murderously for a straight up hour...even though it was only seconds. "I guess I'll see you later..." He said. Tyler walked past us and disappeared from our sight. I felt dizzy...how could this be happening? Tyler can't be in Chicago! I turned around and faced Floyd. "Whats he doing here?" He asked me. "I don't know!" I said. He sighed. "Damn...out of all places this nigg@h moves to Chicago?!" I hissed. "Dont even think nothing of it Key...maybe he h

 

Has family over here,and it's just a coincidence that he was here." Floyd suggested. "I hope so..." I said. But in my mind...I knew damn well this was no coincidence.

<Kelsey Collins>

I'm sitting in my crib chillin by myself,and waiting for the horn to blow for me to leave. The triplets were going to pick me up and we all were going over Treys. The guys were sleeping over but the girls weren't. When I first laid my eyes on Trey,I wanted him. But the way he looked at Miya...I knew him and ever have something going on together was thrown out the window,but then he started showing interest in Cassie,but now she goes with James. They still flirt and all that but I don't know what's really going on between them. Next weekend Carlos is taking my mom to Mexico for the weekend...so I'm going to stay with Cassie or Gabriela for that weekend.Gabby and i actually have gotten close now. I heard the horn blow and I turned off my tv. I locked up and got in the car.

 

<Cassie Johnson>

"James stop playin!" I said. We were chillin in my room laying on my bed. Of course I was home alone...my mom knew I had a boy over she'd kill me. Joey was over a friends house and he was sleeping over there too. I really liked James because he was real. He laughed and pulled me on top of him. James has been pressuring me into se.x like clockwork...but he knows he's not getting nothing. He's in college and I'm not even a senior in highschool. "Babe...you know what would look hella sexy on you?" He asked. "What? And don't say you." I said with a grin. He laughed. "No...my name tatted right here." He said lifting up my shirt a little. He rested his hands right above my navel. I grinned at him and bent over and kissed him. We started making out and shi+ was getting heated. Kissing James made my mind spin. He wrapped his hands around my waist and crushed my body into his. I wrapped mine around his neck and then he flipped me over and I was on bottom. Our mouths danced with

 

 eachother and collided against eachothers. What I loved about James was that he always kept his mints in his mouths. He broke away and looked at me dead in my eyes. "Cassie...come on." He groaned. "Come on what?" I asked,knowing damn well what he was talking about. He started to lift up my shirt and I put my hands on top of his,making them stay where they were. He looked up at me. "Not now James." I said. "Why not?" He asked. "Ive only known you for a month,and I'm not getting pregnant at 17." I said. "Who said you were gonna get pregnant? You don't trust me?" He asked with a serious tone. I sighed. "Yes! Okay I trust you! But..." He cut me off. "But nothing...they're ain't nothing to worry about. I got you." He said. He was looking at me so sincere I wanted to give in. Before I could say something...he kissed me. It started soft then got full of passion. I was losing it...he lifted my shirt again and this time I let him. He came back and kissed me again and took off his shirt. I was

 

so lost I wasn't even thinking...! I wanted this to stop but I couldn't stop my body from reacting. Then...my phone rang. Hearing it was like a knife cutting in to my skin. It interrupted everything.I could feel the anger and annoyance from James. I heard a horn blow outside. Shi+! I forgot we were all going to Treys! Damn it. I pulled away. "James... I gotta go." I said. I knew he was mad but he tried not to show it. I put on my shirt and so did he. He didn't say a word to me...we went downstairs and out the door.

<Trey Jackson>

Were in the escalade waiting for Cassie to come out. I saw James car in the driveway and it was sickening me that he was here with her...alone. Miya was next to me talking about herself and I was just ignoring her annoying ass. I wish she'd shutup. Her ass was always talking about herself. Gabriela was with us and her and Deyontae were pretty 'friendly' . Kelsey was listening to her iPod and honestly she's the only girl I trust. She's the only one that knows about how I like Cassie. I know what you're thinking...if I like Cassie why am I with Miya? But I actually do like Miya but not how I like Cassie. I don't know. Cassie came out the house and James was right behind her. Her shirt was half messed up and her hair. I hope they weren't doing what I thought they were doing. She turned around and they hugged and kissed and she walked over to the car. He drove off. "Damn girl! What happened to your hair?!" Gabriela asked laughing. Everyone started laughing except for me. She

 

 laughed and sat next to me and started fixing her hair. We started driving to my house. "So what were you and James doing?" Deron asked with a grin. "Oh my god shutup! We weren't doing anything." She said laughing. "You better not." Deron mumbled. "Whatever." She said. Gucci Mane 'Slumber Party with Nicki Minaj came on and we started singing to that. About 20 minutes later we pulled up into my driveway. We got out and went in my crib. We went in my basement and Gabriela put on some music. I hooked up the ps3 and the triplets and I put on the football game. "Uhm what am I supposed to do?" Cassie asked. Miya and Kelsey were playing cards with Gabby across the basement. "Uhm go hang out with them." I said laughing. "Shi+ you know Cassie one of us! Hook her up a controller." Deron said. I started the game and Cassie and Deyontae was on my team. Deron,and Damyan were just by themselves. While we were playing I couldn't help but look at Cassie. She looked hella funny as she was holding the

 

Controller like she was really concentrating. "Damn Cassie. It's just a game you ain't gotta look like that!" I said. She laughed. We chilled for like 4 hours and it was already 2 am. My parents were home and said all the girls had to go. There was no way in hell I was letting Cassie go home. I was willing the risk of getting caught to let her sleepover. "Damn I don't wanna go back to my boring ass house." Cassie complained. We were all in the car and we just dropped off Kelsey. I was in the back kissing Miya because she wanted too,and I didn't want to be bogus...even though it was killing me. We pulled up to Miya driveway and she got out. "Walk me to my door?" She asked. "Okay." I said. We climbed out the car.

<Cassie Johnson>

As they climbed up the stairs and up to Miya door they started kissing again. "Ugh..." I muttered. Deron turned around and looked at me. "What?" I asked. "You like him don't you?" Deyontae asked. He was on his phone texting Gabriela,who we dropped off before

 

Kelsey. I frowned. "What? No why would I?" I asked. They just laughed at me. Damn. Was it that obvious? I still had feelings for Trey because I see him everyday. I don't see James everyday like that. "Shutup." I said. They stopped laughing when he got back in the car. "We dropping Cassie off?" Deron asked. Trey looked at me. "Nah you can spend the night if you want. But don't tell them." He said with a grin. "What?! Why she gotta spend the night? Man I'm sick of seeing Cassie eveyday!" Damyan complained. "Shutup!" I said. They all laughed and we pulled back into Trey driveway. "How am I going to get in?" I asked. "Damyan go with her to the basement windows." Trey said. They walked in the house and Damyan and I snuck around to the backyard. As we sat there waiting for them to open the door Damyan said something that made my head spin. "I can't believe you like Trey." He said. "What are you talking about?" I asked. He sighed. "Cassie do you think I'm stupid? I've known you for too long."

 

 He said laughing. I sighed. "Shi+ I don't know." I said. He was about to say something but I saw Deron lil baldheaded ass open the window. "Come on." He whispered. Damyan helped me in and then they closed the door. Trey had blankets spread out on the floor. I couldn't believe I was actually going to sleepover Treys house. "Man I can't believe Cassie is sleeping over with us." Deyontae said laughing. "Shutup." I said. I got under the covers and texted my mom. I told her I was spendig the night at Gabbys. They played the game and started talking about life. "So wassup with you and Miya?" Deron asked Trey. "What do you mean?" Trey asked. "Do you like her? Shi+ you be looking lost as I don't know what when you be with her." Damyan said. I looked at Trey and I could tell he was uncomfortable with this topic. "Whatever." He said. I laughed and then Deyontae looked at me. "Dont be laughing Cassie,wassup with you and James?" He said. "Yeah wassup with you and him?" They all echoed. "Awh shutup." I said laughing. "You need to watch it with him Cassie...he doesn't like you! He only want you for your goodies." Deron said. Everyone laughed. "Shutup! And how would you know?" I asked. "Just trust me. I'd know...has he talked to you about se.x yet?" Deron asked. They all looked at me and I got quiet. "And I bet when we picked you up...we were interrupting the beginning of something." Deron said. I frowned. "Damn nigg@h! Was you spying on me?!" I said. They all started laughing. "No...I knew cuz how he looked when he came out. He looked pissed off." Deron said. "Yeah he did. Cassie you better not fuk him." Damyan said. I just laughed. Trey reached in the bowl to get more chips and reached in an empty bowl. "Damn Damyan! Your hungry ass!" He said. They laughed. "Want me to go to the store and get some more? I don't mind." He said. "Yeah go ahead." Trey said. "I'll go with you." I said getting up.

 

"No! I don't feel like lifting you up! Stay here with Trey. Deyontae and Deron come with me." He said. He winked at me when he said that. They got up and left Trey and I alone. I'm going to whoop Damyan ass. Trey turned off the game and turned to regular tv. He came and sat down next to me and got under the cover. I looked at him and he smiled. "Out of all the room you have to come and sit right nex to me." I said. "Yeah I don't like being alone." He said. Then he leaned his head on my chest. Oh my god. I've been alone with Trey before but never THIS alone. We were watching Family Guy and were laughing when Trey started talking. "Do you like him?" He asked. "Who?" "James." He said looking up at me. I hesitated. "Uhm. Yeah." I said. He nodded. It got silent. "Why?" He asked. "Do you like Miya?" I snapped. "Nope." He said. His answer threw me off. I wasn't expecting that. "What?" I asked. "I don't like her really. Well I do...but I don't know."

 

He said. I was expecting anything but that...I mean if he didn't like Miya,why was he with her? "So basically Trey...you're telling me that...you playing her?" I asked. He frowned. "No! I didn't say that." He said. "But you meant that." I said with a smile. He sighed. "Man shutup! You know that's not what I mean." He said. I laughed. "Then what do you mean? You're not making any sense." I said. "Nothing." He said. "Nothin? You started this conversation now finish it." I said. "Forget about it." He said. "Well whatever. Until you tell me what's really up... I'm just going to keep thinking you playin her." I said. "Okay go head and think that...but the only person getting played is you." He hissed. I snapped my head towards him. "What did you say?" I snapped. "You heard me. The only person being played is you." He said with a dirty look on his face. "Fuk you talking about? I know you ain't talking about James?" I said. "Damn right I am. Dude had a girlfriend since he laid eyes on you. He

 

 cheating on yo ass right now." He huffed. Oh hell naw. Trey was fo real trippin now. "Trey what the fuk is you talkin about?" I hissed. "You know damn well what I'm talking about! He cheating on your ass and you know it!" He yelled. Before I knew it I felt my hand on fire and him holding his cheek. I slapped him. Who the hell did he think he was talking to me like that?! "Dont you ever say something to me like that again! You don't even know James!" I hissed. "Damn right! I don't know him and i know he cheating on you! It's obvious!" He snapped. This was such a waste of time I wasn't even gonna argue about this. He didn't know James at all. "You know what Trey? Just shut tha fuk up! Cuz all you doing is running your mouth." I said. "Im not Cassie! And don't slap me again either. That shi+ hurt..." He said. "Good! You shouldn't be all up in my business." I said. "Your business? Shi+ usually people keep they stuff private but your business be out in the open! Cassie you can't possibly sit here and tell me that he ain't cheating on you." He said. Man...Trey and I argued but we never got this offensive..."Okay well if you're so damn sure of yourself Trey! Are you gonna fuking tell me how you know he's cheating?!" I demanded. That's when the dumbass got quiet. I couldn't believe this...he sat up here talking like he knew his shi+! And now he don't know what to say?!

 

"See Trey! Before you talk your shi+ you need to learn it." I said. "Cassie I do know! I was at target and I saw him all hugged up with some girl." He said. "That couldve been anybody! Maybe it was his cousin or sister..." I said. "Bull shi+! I don't think a guy hugs they brother or sister by grabbing on her ass and kissing her." He said. I knew he was lying. "Whatever Trey." I said. He smirked at me and paid back attention to the tv. Damn..why did this nigg@h have to get on James? Why does he even care? He can't like me! Maybe a month ago something couldve happened between us but...so far ain't nothing happen. About 15 minutes later the triplets came in,and when they walked in I knew they could feel the tension. Trey and I were sitting next to eachother with the most meanest look on our faces. "Damn...what happened to y'all? You two look like someone got killed." Damyan said laying down on the couch. "Man whatever." I huffed. I laid down and pulled the cover over my head. Man....is

 

James cheating on me? No matter what...Trey still proved a point.

<Trey Jackson>

I woke up at about 9 and I was the only one awake. That was normal...but what wasn't normal was that Cassie was sound asleep,on my chest. Her head was on my chest and her arm was stretched across my stomach,and as if it was perfectly planned out my arm was outstretched around her. It took me a moment to process that this was happening. I mean last night I did kind of take it too far. Shi+ I hope when she wake up,she forgets about the arguement. But probably not. Then I heard footsteps coming down and I knew it was my mom. Oh shi+! I took the cover and threw it over Cassie. Thank god her body was so small...cuz she was barely visible. Then Cassie did something that I could hardly believe. She started talking in her sleep! I took my hand and clamped it over her mouth. "Trey?" My mom called out. I realized she was on the stairs still and couldn't see me. But I still needed Cassie to be quiet. "Y-yeah?" I called out. Cassie then started mumbling and talking again. I pushed my

 

Hand harder to her mouth and that made her shake her head trying to free my hand. "Do you guys want breakfeast?" She asked. "Trey...I'm sorry...I'm sorry baby." Cassie mumbled. "Shi+!" I whispered. "Trey what'd you say? Is there a girl down there?!" My mom yelled. "Uhm no! No mom!" I yelled. My yelling woke up Casie and when she saw me her eyes filled with shock. She slapped my hand off my mouth and was about to say something. But I grabbed her to my chest and slammed my hand over her mouth again. She started trying to fight me. "Okay...well I'm going upstairs." My mom said. My moms voice made Cassie freeze. "O-okay." I stuttered. Cassie and I stayed in that position until we heard the basemet door close. "Damn Cassie!" I hissed. She ripped her hand off of her mouth and got off of me. She glared at me. "Dont get mad at me...shi+ you shouldn't have slept next to me." She hissed. "What?! It ain't my fault you was sleep talking." I said. Her eyes grew big. "What?! What was I saying?" She asked all worried. I laughed. I couldn't believe what she said,but I wasn't gonna tell her. It'd make shi+ too awkward.

 

"Nothing...just forget about it." I said with a smile. I was gonna tell her...but not now. She sighed. "Trey...just tell me...why you always gotta be so damn difficult?" She asked. "Me? Difficult? Girl you crazy." I said laughing. She smiled. "And uhh...sorry bout last night." I muttered.

<Cassie Johnson>

Did I mention that Trey was shirtless? Man...I was so mesmerized by that I barely heard his apology. "Oh what?" I asked. He laughed. Then it hit me that he really did apologize. "Ohh it's all good." I said. He smiled. I looked around and the triplets were still asleep. Awhh Deron looks so adorable when he's asleep. Trey hooked up the game and handed me a controller. Truth is...I woke up in the middle of the night from a nightmare. What's creepier is that I don't remember the nightmare. I woke up petrified and drenched in sweat. I was too scared to even go back to sleep. And Trey was the closest person to me...so I fell asleep on him. The game started and we were playing boxing. "Man

 

this game lame as hell." I whined. "Thats cuz you losing!" He joked. "Yeahh whatever. So why did your mom come down here?" I asked. "To see if we wanted breakfeast. And then yo dumbass started talking in yo sleep and shi+" He said laughing. "Nigg@h shutup! Now what was I saying?" I asked him. I was scared of what his answer was going to be...I talk and move in my sleep ALOT. I move but I don't really talk in my sleep. "Before I tell you...why were you on top of me?" He asked. "What are you talking about?" I asked,trying to sound shocked. "You know what I'm talking about? It's not like I pulled you on me,while I was sleep." He said. "I don't know what you're talkin about Trey." I said trying my hardest not to laugh. "Its okay Cassie...I know you want this! You ain't got to hide it! I won't judge you or tell Miya." He said with a grin. I started laughing. "Trey you funny. That was a good ass joke." I said. He frowned. "Please...you the joke. You was the one calling me baby while you were

 

 Sleep." He said. I froze. I slowly turned my head to him,not even caring about winning the game anymore. "I said...what?!!" I hissed. He started laughing. All I could do was sit there...that's so damn embarrasing! "Cassie you were like:Im sorry! Trey Im sorry baby!" He said trying to imitate my voice. I glared at him and that only made him laugh harder. "Man shutup." I said punching him in his arm. But he kept laughing. Damn it wasn't even that funny! I just stared him down until he stopped laughing. "Awhh come on baby don't get all mad..." He said. I rolled my eyes. "Damn will you two shutup! Shi+ I'm trying to sleep." Deyontae grumbled. "Man shutup. Ay guess what Cassie did!" Trey said. "Why? What'd she do?" Deyontae exclaimed already laughing. While Trey little bi+ch ass told Deyontae I checked my phone. It was a text from Gabby. I didn't feel like texting so I put my phone down and laid down. As Trey finished the story Deyontae busted up laughing. I gave him a look. "Sorry Cassie

 

But that shi+ hilarious!" He said. "Kiss my ass." I said throwing a pillow at him. Then we heard the basement door open and I ducked under the covers. "Trey?" A manly voice boomed. I figured it was Floyd,Trey father,with his sexy ass. Damn! His daddy looked gooooooooooood:) lol. "Yeah?" Trey said. "Food ready." He said and then the door closed. At the mention of food Damyan and Deron hungry asses woke up. "Did somebody say food ready?" Damyan mumbled. They started laughing and one by one they went upstairs. Oh hell naw! What was I supposed to eat?! I grabbed Trey arm as the triplets went up the stairs. "What?" He asked. "Uhm what am I supposed to do? Sit here until you guys get done eating!" I exclaimed. "Damn right!" He said laughing. But that wasn't funny to me. Once he saw my look he stopped. "Okay Cassie I'm just playing with you. I'll sneak you a plate down...when I'm done. " He said. "Whatever." I huffed. I turned to go sit down when I felt hands wrap around my waist. I felt a b

 

Body behind me and I wanted to melt,what was Trey doing?! "I feel like hugging you." He said burying his head in my neck. I was loving this and I couldn't deny it but this was wrong! He was going with Miya! "You do realize you're cheating on Miya,right?" I said. "No...I'm giving you a hug." He said laughing. "Nigg@h shutup and take yo ass upstairs and eat,so I can." I said getting out his hold. I walked away and sat on the couch. "Okay Cassie...but I'll be back." He said. He went up the stairs and closed the door.

<Miya Collins>

"Aaliyah! Come on let's go shopping!" I exclaimed. After my baby Trey dropped me off last night I decided to come over here. Darnell was asleep in the bed and Aaliyah and I was lying down on the couch watching music videos. "Naw girl! My boys ain't even home yet." She said. "So?" I hissed. "Well they might need something girl! And I need to be here when they get home." She said. "Uhmm that's why they got a daddy!" I exclaimed. "Well they daddy sleep!" Darnell

 

Yelled from the bedroom. Aaliyah and I both laughed. "Maybe another time Miya! I'll take you tomorrow okay? I promise you." She said. "Man whatever." I said. Then the doorbell rang and neither of us moved. "Miya go get it." She said. I sighed. "Lazy ass." I muttered. "Dont make me take off my belt!" She yelled. I laughed and opened the door to Kelsey. "Hey Kels,what you doing here?" I asked letting her in. "Why you askin me that? I can't come and visit my sister?" She said. We walked back to the family room. "Hey Kelsey! What's going on girl?" Aaliyah said. "Nothin...just been chillin! Where the boys?" She asked. "They still at Treys." I said. "Oh. Well has anyone seen Cassie? Me and her were supposed to go to the mall today but she ain't answering her phone,and she's not home." Kelsey said. "She probably at crazy ass Gabby house." Aaliyah said laughing. "Yeah did you check there?" I said. "Yeah....her mom said she slept over there but Gabriela said she hasn't seen her since we left Trey house last night." She said. The realization hit me so quick I culdnt believe it. I know where her sneaky ass at! She with Trey! I know she is! I don't care what anyone say but him and her got something going on! "She with James then! Just chill Cassie pretty responsible." Aaliyah said. Just then we heard laughing and yelling from outside. "Well I know where she at now. Here come the trips,her and Trey." Kelsey said looking out the window. My mouth dropped. She was with him! She spent the night at his crib and I couldn't?!

 

The door opened and in they came. Trey was holding onto Casie hand and when she saw me,she snatched it out his hand. "Hey mom,watup?" Deron said sitting next to Kelsey. "What took you guys so long to get home?" Aaliyah asked going into the kitchen. "Hey babe. Wassup?" Trey said kissing me on my cheek. I glared at him. "Damn what's wrong with you?" He snapped. I got up and walked out the house and closed the door. He know damn well why I'm mad! And then had the nerve to act like he just wasn't holding her hand?! How could he let her sleepover his house?! I started walking towards my crib when I heard footsteps behind me. "Miya,what's wrong? Why you trippin?" He demanded catching up to me. "Why do you care? You got Cassie as your new girlfriend right? Shi+ she gets to sleepover!" I said. His face went blank as my words hit him. "H-how'd you know that?" He asked. "Ugh! Forget you!" I yelled. I turned to walk away but he grabbed my arm. "Miya wait! We didn't do anything! I didn't even

 

Touch her!" He said. "Oh really? Then why were you guys holding hands? Trey you think I'm stupid?! She slept over your house and you're gonna sit here and tell me you both didn't do anything!" I yelled. "Yes! Cuz we didn't do anything Miya! You can ask the triplets,they were there! Miya I would never cheat on you." He said. I wanted to believe him. "Your lying. You think I don't notice how you look at her? I could be talking to you and you'd interrupt just to say watup to her! At school all you do is talk to her!" I scoffed. He sighed. "Thats because I have classes with her. And I only talk to her cuz we have alot in common." He said. "Oh so you're trying to say we dont?" I hissed. He frowned. "Look I don't like Cassie like that,okay? Now when you wanna get off this bull shyt! Cuz that's what it is...you let me know. Until then...I don't know." He said.

<Cassie Johnson>

We all looking out the windows watching Trey and Miya fight. Shi+ even Aaliyah grown ass was in the window watching.

 

Even thouh this is bogus I'm kinda glad that they're fighting. When she stormed out the house I knew they were arguing over me. When we walked in Trey was holding my hand and she saw that. I was surprised she didn't blow up right there! While they were arguing we was laughing. "This is all so stupid. I can't believe she really think Trey like you." Aaliyah said. Everyone laughed nervously cuz they knew the real truth. I liked Trey and he liked me. But they all still played along. "Yeah...she tripping over nothing." I lied. I kept watching and then Trey just blew up on her. He started waving his hands and Miyas face was priceless. Her mouth was open and then Trey walked away from her. Yes! Wait...no. She ran after him and threw her arms around him and kissed him. "Oh no she didn't...she did not just run after him!" Deyontae said laughing. Everyone started laughing but me. I stood there in shock as Trey gave in and wrapped his arms around her and kissed her back. I sighed. My phone

 

Vibrating is what took me out my trance. It was a text from James.

James:Baby,are you home? I'm finna pick you up.

Me: I'll be home in 5,Come on.

I put my phone back in my pocket. Good. I needed James and especially at a time like this. I was thinking about Trey too much. "Well ay I'm leaving guys. I'll see you later." I said. "Where you going?" Damyan asked. "Out with James." I grinned. "Ohhhhh,well don't do anything I wouldn't do!" Kelsey beamed. I flicked her off and they all laughed and I walked out the door. Miya saw me and just stared at me. Man I knew shi+ was going to be awkward as hell between us now. Trey saw me but didn't say a word ether but I was cool with that. What was there to say? I didn't blame him. So I walked home. There was a note on the door from my mom saying they all went out to dinner. I was about to go in the house but James drove up. I hopped in the car and gave him a kiss. "Hey babe." He greeted. I smiled as he drove off to his crib. But all the way to

 

His crib...Trey STAYED on my mind.

The next day.

<Trey Jackson>

I woke up at 6 and got dressed. Today was Monday...damn I cant wait until this week over we got Christmas Break coming up. Man I couldn't believe Miya and I almost broke up! Shi+ Cassie and I have to be more careful. Yesterday when Cassie and the trips spent the night,Cassie and I did cheat. When I went upstairs for breakfeast I quickly ate my food and went back downstairs. The triplets didn't mind cuz they were all too zoned into talking with my parents about basketball. I snuck a plate for Cassie and then we started talking. Man I wanted to kiss her so bad...so when she turned around when I called her name...I wrapped my arms around her waist and kissed her. At first she didn't kiss back and then her lips began to move around with mine. Next thing I knew we fell onto the couch and we were legit making out. Doing this felt much better than every kiss,hug,convo with Miya. While we were making out Damyan dumbass was sneaking up on us follows by Deron and

 

Deyontae. They scared the shi+ outta us we fell off the couch. "Damn was you two doing what I thought?!" Deyontae said. "I think they were! Damyan,did you see that?" Deron said. "Mhm. I sure did. But wait? Don't they both have someone already?" Damyan said. "Thats cuz they're CHEATERS!" They all exclaimed at the same time. Then they busted into laughter. They promised not to tell and I knew they weren't. I heard a blow outside and that broke me out my thoughts. My parents were both at work now,so I locked up and hopped in the Escalade. I saw that Casie wasn't there. "Where Cassie at?" I asked sitting next to Kelsey. Miya and Deyontae,and Gabby were in the back. Deron was driving,and Damyan was in the passenger seat. "Damn...you couldn't have said hi to me,before you worry about her." Miya scoffed.' Everyone got dead quiet. Miya was getting on my last mothafukin nerve. I know what yuh thinking,why not break up with her? But it's...complicated I don't know. I turned around and smirked at

 

 her. "Damn. What you tripping on now?!" I exclaimed. "Nothing." She said rolling her eyes. I saw Deron laughing and it took every ounce of my strength not to laugh with him. "I guess James giving her a ride. She texted me last night and said she was sleeping over there." Gabriela said with a grin. "Awh...okay." I said. What was she doing sleeping over at James's house?! His cheatin ass...oh well I can't talk. We pulled up in our parkig spot and hopped out. And just as we were doing this James's car rode up next to us. I looked and Cassie gave him a kiss and hopped out the car. "Hey girl!" Gabby and Kelsey exclaimed. "Hey wassup?" Cassie said. I looked back at James and he was staring me down like crazy. I returned the look he was giving me until he drove off. We all started walking into the class. "Hey wassup Trey?" Cassie beamed. Before I could say anything I felt a pair of lips against mine. It was Miya. Oh my god. She pulled away and said,"So what are we gonna do later on?" She asked all excited. Oh WOOOW! Wasnt this bipolar bi+ch mad at me like 3 seconds ago? Damn. She only doing this cuz Cassie here.

 

Cassie knew what she was doing and she just walked away with Gabby and Kelsey. Ugh...well whatever I was gonna see her anyway later on. "I don't know." I replied thickly. She frowned and was about to say something smart when, some girl came up. She looked like Keisha but Keisha wasn't a red head. "Hey wassup Trey?! Miya,what do you think of my new hair?!" The girl exclaimed. Oh shi+ that was Keisha! "Daaamn Keshia." Miya and I both exclaimed. Everyone was looking at us now... "Why you guys say it like that?! Does it look bad or something?!" She asked worriedly. I just laughed and walked away and left Miya with her. As I walked to my locker every single girl or guy that walked by would say,"Hey Trey!" "Sup Trey?" "Whats good Trey?" See I was the man around here now man...girls would break they necks to watch me walk by. Haha okay just kidding...it ain't that bad. I walked to my first class which was with Damyan and that kid Jordan. I sat down and we started talking until the teacher

 

Came in. All I did was watch the clock cuz next period I get to see Cassie. Then Damyan passed me a note when there was 15 minutes left in the period.

Damyan:So wassup with Miya? She on to you and Cassie like white on rice.

Me:I know man! Ay how did she even find out that Cassie slept over?

Damyan: I don't know. Miya is a pretty sneaky person.

Me:Damn right. I wanna break up with her

Damyan:Why? You feel guilty that you ARE cheating on her with Cassie? Hahaha!

Me: Shutup! And no...I could give a shi+ less that I'm cheating on her! Man I shouldve broke us off when she called her self 'telling me off' the other day.

Damyan:The other day? Man that was yesterday!

Me:Ha oh yeah. Well whatever! But did you see what she did when Cassie pulled up? Cassie came over to talk and she hopped and kissed me.

Damyan:Oh yeah I saw that. Well iight boii if you don't want her break her off then.

 

Me:I might! But I want Cassie! But her ass is too wrapped up with that cheatin as James! She slept over his house,God knows what they've been doing!

Damyan:Wow....you must do like her.

Me:Damn right! Man when we were kissing and shi+ at my crib,that was the best feeling I ever had,and then you and your dumbass brothers had to come!

Damyan:Hey! It was Deron idea! And we did that on purpose we knew you two were gonna do something! So did anything get hot and steamy while me and my bros went to sleep?

Me:Shi+ I wish. We got into an arguement.

The bell rang and I stuck the note in my pocket. "Okay well Ima see you later iight?" I said. Damyan nodded. "Ay rip that note up too." He said as we walked out the door. I nodded and stuck it in my pocket to do it in my next class. When I got to my locker Gabby was there. "What up?" I asked her. "Hey sexy! So do you and my girl have something going on?" She asked. I laughed. "Uh no...why?" I said.

 

"Cuz...you and her have been acting a little friendly,don't cha think?" She asked. "Gabby you crazy." I said laughing. "Stop stating the obvious!" She said. But that made me laugh even harder. She glared at me. "Well I know somethings going on between you and her Trey! Don't get all scared boy that I know okay? I ain't gonna tell your girlfriend or her boyfriend." She said. She out emphasis on the words 'boyfriend' and 'girlfriend'. "Okay you do that Gabby...." I said closing my locker. She rolled her eyes and walked away. I don't think she knows exactly how funny she is. I walked to my 2nd class where I was finally gonna see my 'baby.' Did I just call her baby? Damn I am too attatched to her. I walked in and then my smile faded...there was some girl in MY seat. Right next to Cassie. I walked over. "Oh hey Trey,this is Anazia." Cassie said. I looked at her and she was grinning at me too hard,she was pretty and if I wasn't so focused on sitting next to Cassie I wouldve smiled. "Uh hi,can you get out my seat?" I asked. She frowned. "Trey,Anazia is my lab partner,she was on vacation and now she's back."Cassie said. "Then who am I supposed to work with?" I asked. There was only one perosn to work with and that was only Maryann. And there's no way in heeelllll I'm working with her. "Oh! Well in since I was gone you can sit here." Anazia beamed. "I'll work with Mary." She said and walked away. I grinned and sat next to Cassie. She was frowning at me. "Now why did your ass have to do that?" She said. "Awhh babe,you actin like you don't want me to sit next to you!" I whispered. "Shutup! Don't be callin me that shi+ in public! Dang,are you trying to have Miya come and cuss me out?" She joked.

 

I laughed. Then the teacher came in and we started on a lab. As we were working I couldn't help but look at her. I will admit something here. She wasn't that much better looking than Miya,but that was only because Miya dressed like a hoe. But what made Cassie so beautiful was her attitude. I loved chicks who could hang with all dudes,and could be a homie. Yeah girly girls are cute but there's nothing better than a sexy ass girl who is sportsminded and can hang with the dudes,and still act like a lady. And that's exactly what Cassie was.

<Maryann Streep>

Why did Trey like her so much? I mean seriously. He totally just kicked Anazia out HER seat so he can sit with her. No wonder Miya told me to be a 'watchout' on them. But hmm fuk that I'm not getting into that drama. I want Trey for myself! The bell rang and as they walked out a piece of paper fell out of his jacket. I picked it up. "Trey you dropped something." I called after him. But he was too consumed into talking to Cassie hoe ass

 

,by the way who took my ex boyfriend James! He didn't hear me. I opened the note and read....the note. All I could think was...

PAYBACK MOTHAFUKA!!!!!:)

<Keymora Jackson>

I got off work at one and drove straight home. As I pulled up I saw Aaliyah walking by my house. I pulled in the driveway and she walked over to my car. Oh my god...I didn't feel like talking to her right now. She walked up to the car. "Hey girl wassup?" She said. "Hey,I just got off of work. Where you going?" I asked getting out. "Nothing. But uhm I was wondering can you please do me a favor?" She said. "Sure." I smiled. I don't know what came over me...but I agreed. "Okay,I'm throwing a surprise party for my mom and maybe Darnells. But anyway it's at this club. I need you to meet up with the club director and give him this for me,please? I can't cuz I have to go meet up with Darnell at this NBA meeting." She beamed. I laughed. "Its all cool girl,I'll do it." I said taking the papers. She gave me the address and the

 

Dudes name. "Okay thanks Keymora bye." She said. I pulled out the driveway and started on my way there. I pulled up to the club and I saw some boys hanging out in the front. One of them actually looked like James...Cassie dude. I walked in ignoring they're "game". Damn don't they know I am a grown woman?! The dude who looked like James came in then. "Hey...can I help you?" He grinned. "Isnt your name James?"I asked. He frowned. "Yeah....how'd you know?" He asked. "Oh...you don't remember me? I think I met you because you go with my sons friend,Cassie." I said. His eyes got big. "Oh yeah! Yeah that's my girl. So are you the triplets mom?" He asked. "Oh no...my sons name is Trey." I said. He kind of got tense. "Oh...yeah I know him. We cool." He said kind of irritatedly. I just smiled. "So James what are you doing here?" I asked. "Oh...my dad is the club director...so he make me wait out here to see if anyone be coming in." He said. "Oh...well is he here? Can you take me to him?" I asked. "Sure thing." He muttered. I followed him on the elevator and up a flight of stairs to a private room. He knocked on the door. "Yeah?" A voice asked. James opened the door and walked away and left me to go in alone. I took a deep breath and walked in.

 

<Tyler Vasquez>

I was sitting in my office when all of a sudden my door opened. It was HER. the woman who I still loved to this day,the woman that whooped my ass,and the woman I can't stop thinking about. I was married but my wife died 3 years ago. And now here is Keymora standing in my office. She looked at me and I could feel the shock radiating from her body. She looked like she wanted to run out the place. I don't know why she was so nervous to see me! I mean she was the one who broke into my crib and whooped my ass with a gun! She stood there motionless and stared at me like she couldn't believe I was actually sitting here. "Uhm..Tyler are you...the club director?" She asked. I smiled. Her voice sounded as beautiful as the day I met her. "Yeah...what are you doing here?" I asked. She smiled and closed the door and walked over to me with some papers. "You know Aaliyah and Darnell right? Well she wanted me to give you this..." She said nervously. As she handed me the papers our

 

Hands touched. She recoiled her hand and held it like I had shocked it or something. Damn what was wrong with her?! Why she acting like that?! "Oh alright thanks." I said smiling at her. She stood up. "Okay...I guess I'll go..." She said. Oh hell naw! I haven't seen her in how long? Yeah too long! And now I'm just now seeing her. I can't let her walk up out of here without us at least catching up or something I mean seriously. "Wait." I said grabbing her arm. "Dont touch me! What are you doing?" She snapped snatching her arm out of my hand. "Damn! I'm sorry! Dang I wasn't trying to do anything." I said. She frowned and didn't say anything. "Before you leave maybe...we could catch up?" I suggested. She looked at me wairly and then slowly sat down in her chair. "Catch up? For what? I really don't want to talk to you Tyler." She said. Damn! Way to be bogus! "Keymora...why are you acting like this? Why you acting all scared and shi+?" I asked her. "Scared? I'm not scared of you!

 

Boy please..." She said rolling her eyes. "Okay...then why you acting all salty?" I asked. She sighed. "Because...it feels weird." She said. "What feels weird?" I asked. She sighed again. "Us! You and I sitting here talking! Like nothing ever happened between us! I mean...damn you're sitting here like we never had something going on....Tyler that day when me and my girls came..." She kept babbling on and all I could do was just stare at her lips. She was just too beautiful. "Tyler...why are you looking at me like that?" She suddenly said. "Oh...sorry...what were you saying?" I said. She groaned and that made me laugh. "Keymora I dont hold nothing against you! It was my fault that,that shi+ went down anyway. If I wasn't so much of an ass...it wouldn't have happened." I said. She smiled and I beamed a big ass smile back at her. It got silent and she started looking around the room. I didn't know what else to say so I just looked around too. Then she picked up a picure of my wife and kids. I hadtwo sons. "Is this your wife and kids?" She asked. "Yup. That's Collid he's the oldest,and James is the youngest." I said. "Theyre cute. And I met James already...and your wife is beautiful,what's her name?" She asked. I hated talking about my wife. Besides Keymora she was the ONLY woman I ever loved. I didn't love her as much as I loved Key though...and I don't think I'll ever find someone that means more to me than Keymora. "Diana." I said. "Thats nice,how old is she? She looks very young." She said. I sighed. "Uhm...she passed away 3 years ago..." I said. Keymora gasped. "Oh my god Tyler I'm so sorry!" She gushed placig her hand on top of mine. When our hands touched it was like an electric shock. I looked at our hands and I was surprised...did she really just do that? She removed her hand immediately. "Its okay...she died in a car accident." I said. "Im really sorry Tyler...how old was she?" She asked. "Only 31." She shook her head. "Thats so young." She said. I just nodded.

 

It got silent. "So...how have you been Keymora? Got kids?" I asked with a grin. I was trying real hard to get the memories of Diana out of my head. "Yes...his names Trey. And he's actually the reason we live in Chicago. He was kinda acting like me when I was a child...and I didn't want him to go through the shi+ I did. So when he got expelled,I knew we had to move so he can get a fresh start." I said. "Damn...fo real? How old is he?" I asked. "Hes 16. But I think he likes Chicago more...he hasn't been doing anything really now...that I know of." She said. I smiled. "Well that's good...so what you do?" I asked. "Nothing really...I work a secretary for the iMac corporation a couple blocks from here." She said. "Fo real? Damn...I might have to come and make a visit sometime...think you can get me a free laptop?" I asked. She laughed. I loved her laugh...I loved everything about her. "Shii+ I wish..." She said. Then we started talking about life,sports,music and etc. It was just like old times...we were having a great time. But then her phone rang. "Sorry..." She mumbled. "Its all good just answer it." I said. I zoned out her conversation until I heard HIS name. Just hearing him made my blood boil. I hated HIM. "Okay baby...I'll be there in a little bit? Okay? Bye Floyd." She said hanging up. She looked back up at me and when she saw my face,she looked away quickly. For some strange reason that angered me...it was like she was pitying me. "Why do you love him so much?" I asked. "I believe we had this type of conversation a while ago...so stop it Tyler." She hissed. She was right. We were in the parking lot and I was giving my final attempt at getting her back.

 

"Man whatever. That still doesn't answer my question Keymora...Keymora I-" "Save it! I don't want to hear that shi+!" She hissed cutting me off. "Tyler I like you as a friend. Okay? I'm with Floyd! I'm with Floyd and I'm sick of having to prove that to you! Now I'm gonna leave and were gonna pretend this shi+ ain't happen,so the next time I see you...it won't be as awkward. Okay? I'm sorry for your time." She said. She stood up and silently left out of my office. I could feel the anger rising in my chest....why can't she just give me a fuking logical answer?! She can't love him! She has to love me...why won't she love me?!

 

<Keymora Jackson>

I walked up out that shi+ hella fast. I didn't even say bye to James,I just needed to get out of there. I hopped in my car and sped back home. Why did Tyler have to even bring that shi+ back up? We are grown ass men and women now,so this little 'I love you Keymora' needs to fuking stop. I'm sick of dealig with his bull shi+ now! Why can't he just move on? I know his wife died and I was truly hurt when he told me that...but damn why can't he just stop?! I pulled into my driveway and got out the car. I saw the escalde go by and Deron and Damyan waved at me. I waved back. Where was everyone else? And Trey? Oh well. I go in the house and I can't believe my eyes. My son is kissing Miya...well let me rephrase that...my son was making out with that little fast ass girl on my couch. They both still hadn't seen me yet so I decided to scare them. I stood above them and said,"Well it's nice to see you too Trey!" I wish you couldve seen how high he jumped. He got off of Miya and

 

looked at me with his eyes all big. And Miya just looked down ashamed. He couldn't even say anything. I laughed at how scared he was. Shi+ I wasn't mad...I just felt bad for him because god knows where that girls tongue has been. I know she's one of those fast ass girls. I yawned. "Well I'm gonna go take a nap! I'll see you later..." I said looking them both in the eye. I walked up the stairs and closed my door and busted up laughing.

<Trey Jackson>

Damn! That was so embarrasing! I dont know if she was mad or not...she seemed...happy? I don't know. Miya started laughing when my mom closed the door. I didn't join in cuz I was still shocked. "Trey...stop being so scared she's not mad." She grinned. "Shi+ you don't know my mom! She just trying to make me think that so she can surprise attack my ass when you leave." I said. We both started laughing but then her phone rang. She frowned. "Awh baby I gotta go." She said. "Okay see you later." I said giving her a hug. She tried to give me a

 

Kiss but I turned my head. She noticed that but didn't say anything. I walked her to the door and closed it behind her. I sighed. If you're wondering how it came to be like that...with Miya and I kissing on my couch....don't wonder anymore. Ain't shi+ happen really. When school was over she wanted to walk home so we ended up at my house....and then everything wen from there. Right now I was hella dying to go see Cassie. I know this shi+ bogus but I don't know what else to do. Right now I really like Cassie but somehow I'm really developing shi+ for Miya. She finally opened up to me and apologized about the whole 'Me and Cassie' thing. That really opened my eyes and shi+. Can I be with them both? I mean Cassie still fuking around with James. I texted her saying watup and she still ain't texting me back yet. I don't think me and 'my crew' is goin anywhere today...so I just chilled and took a nap on my couch.

<Kelsey Smith>

"Damyan...I need you to come and pick me up...I got something to

 

Take care of." I said into the phone. I was chillin at my house watching tv and I was home alone. "Kelsey what in the hell do you have to take care of?" He asked. "Look are you gonna pick me up or not?" I said. He sighed. "Be there in 10." He said and then the phone clicked. I put my phone down and went upstairs to my room. I was going out to find my father. I was looking on the Internet and there was a picture of him and he was enrolled in some homeless shelter about an hour away from here. That blew my mind when I found that. Shi+ it might not even be him...the people couldve made a mistake...but I was only telling myself that so I can feel better about him being in a shelter. I mean really? My dad wouldn't let that shi+ happen to him! Being in a homeless shelter is crazy he wouldn't let that happen to him. And if it did happen he wouldve told us. He has a job,and lives in a nice apartment,so why is he in there. First we were going to go by his house and see wassup and if he not there then were gonna go by the shelter. I put my hair in a ponytail and I heard the horn blow. My mom would kill me if she knew what I was doing...but hey she seems not to care where he is.
