Un-break My Heart by Toni Braxton blasted through the
speakers. The night was usual for Shina she waited for what started to become obvious
another fantasy. When Amani walked out on her a few months ago she was so sure
he wasn’t going to be gone for long. She even went bragging about how her late
night loving was his main addiction. As days started to turn into weeks and
weeks rapidly turned into 3 whole months, her bragging slowly started to cease.
“Still thinking about
him, Huh” Selene stepped into the dim lit room holding a glass of Mocosto”
Shina smirked shaking
her head until eventually she broke down into sobs. In the past Amani would
have never affected her in such a way but since her stomach keeps growing.
Never could she have imagined that a relationship she infested so much in would
end in the way it did. How could simple
words tear down a kingdom that was being build?
“I told you he was
creeping, but girl if I ever catch him slipping Imma get him” Selene took a
long drag from her cigarette.
Selene was the kind of hood females that every
girl needed as a best friend. She never had a problem wrapping her bun up for
what she felt she had to handle. Especially when it came to her best friend.
The girls had been through everything together. Goes to show you that even
opposites could make things work out. See growing up Shina was the “Ghetto Fabulous”
one. The one who never lived in the bad part of the neighborhood but always
hung out there. She always had the flyest things that ever came out due to her
single mother who worked 3 jobs to make up for the loss of her father but she
was always lonely. Selene was the one who had to work for everything the typical
“Hood Baby” doing what she had to do to survive, her mother only worried about
who ever her man was at the time. So the day they became friends. They found
the missing links to their lives a sister.
“Dammit, I know it
still hurts though” Shina walked away from the window pane looking at the
television screen that flashed picture as the music muted out the sound.
“Hello, Where you at,
Igght Imma be there in a minute” Selene hung up her phone as she grabbed her
jacket kissing Shina on the cheek and rubbing her stomach.
“Stop thinking Baby
Dol. It aint good for the baby” she said has she walked out the door.
“Mani, you know this
is wrong” Lia said wrapping her leg around his waist.
“I know, but she
played out to me now” Amani placed his hands on her thigh. He knew a long time
ago that what he was doing was wrong but when you on cloud 9 you just don’t
think about how hard the ground is going to be when you land.
“What about the baby”
Lia asked placing her hand on his chest.
“Yo, when the fuck
did you start caring so much” He pushed her off of him as he slipped out of the
bed. Stopping in front of the sink splashing water on his face staring at his reflection
in the mirror.
“How could I’ve let this go on for so long, I really don’t even see
myself getting serious with Lia” He thought to himself. He grabbed his
clothes and started getting dressed. Lia stood in the door.
“You ain’t going nowhere”
She looked at him with a sinister blank look in her hazel eyes.
“Lia move before I
make you move, I gotta get back to my family” He said without even thinking
about the fact he was in a lose situation and Lia marbles where rolling all
over the place.
“I am your family, you
can’t go back there that bitch have everything she wants but I’ll be damned it
she have you too.
Shina paced the
marbled floor in her kitchen when her doorbell rings. She swung it open hoping
to see Amani then her face saddens to meet Kayla her other best friend at the
door.
“I got word on Mani,
come on lets go” Kayla said on the other.
Kayla drove for what
felt like hours. Playing what seemed to have been ever Mariah Carey track that
exist as she sang along poorly’
“You ready” she said
in her thick Puerto Rican accent as she stopped in front of some three story
apartment building. Jumping out ringing the doorbell.
“You ordered pizza”
she said has the voice on the asked who she was. Then buzzed her in.
Kayla looked at Shina
as she ran up the stairs knocking on the door. The door flew open.
“MANI”!!!! Shina
yelled as Amani froze and begun to ramble.
“Bitch, he mine now” Selene
came to the door wrapping her arms around him.
“Selene, really after
all we been through” Shina grabbed her stomach. “You supposed to be my sister”
She started to tear up.
“You have had
everything in life you ever wanted but let’s remember Mani was supposed to be
mine, imp just taking him back. Amani jerked out of her arms.
“Lia you know I love
Shina, i
going home to her and my baby” he said grabbing Shina’s hand
has she pulled away. Walking towards the nearest exit.
“Wait until I drop
this baby it aint over bitch” Shina turned around staring at Selene with a face
full of tears.
Selene laughed
wickedly as Kayla pulled out her metal aiming at her home girl.
“Amani, go correct this
shit” She yelled as he stared ate her “NOW”!
Selene stood frozen.
“So you love playing home
wrecker” She smirked “I told you never to touch mines, yes I know about Rico”
THE END!
