I quickly got up off my bed as Ki texted me he was here. I walked over to my door and opened it. I'm not going downstairs, but I am gonna wait for him at the top of the stairs. I heard the door bell ring. Why doesn't he just walk in? I giggled quietly to myself at that.

"Oh my god are you Lil Skies?" I heard one of the girls asking. I went to laugh, but covered my mouth with my hand.

"What's up bro?" I heard Coolie ask.

"How you been man?" I heard Ki ask back.

"Stas is upstairs" I heard Stokeley say. I heard Ki running up the stairs so I walked back to my door and leaned against the frame. He had a smirk on his face.

"Oh my god are you Lil Skies?" I mocked the girl and put my hands to my mouth. He rolled his eyes while smiling and walked passed me into my room. "No way oh my god can I get a picture?" I joked as I shut my door behind me. He started to laugh as he sat on my bed. "I just love your music so much. You're so hot oh my god. Let's take a picture" I joked making him laugh even harder.

"Stas shut up" he said back while still laughing. I sat down next to him smiling. I got myself laughing at my own jokes. He shook his head at me. He grabbed the remote and started going through Netflix. "X didn't seem too happy to see me" I heard him say. I looked over at him confused. "I mean I could be wrong, but it just seemed like it" he told me.

"I don't see a reason why he would be mad to see you. You guys get along" I said back to him. I really don't see a reason why. I doubt he really cares that Ki and I are chilling. We always do.

"Cause he likes you" he said looking over at me. I just shrugged and grabbed my phone. He looked back at the tv screen and started going through Netflix again. I went into Snapchat and started to record us both. "Oh my god Lil Skies I'm your biggest fan oh my god I love you" I joked and we both started to laugh. He put his head on my shoulder and did some sign with his fingers. I stopped recording and laughed as I watched the video and he picked his head up.

"You're too much" he joked shaking his head again.

"Wanna go for a ride?" I asked him.

"Where?"

"Anywhere, but here. I been in this house for the past two days. I need to get out and do something" I told him. He nodded.

"Ight. Let's go drive around" he said standing up.

"Wait I gotta fix myself up a little" I said as I walked into the bathroom. He followed me in and watched himself in the mirror as I started to brush my hair. It's a mess. "I don't think I'm gonna change" I said looking at my outfit. I'm wearing a T-shirt and sweats. "Actually I may just change into jeans"

"Nah you don't need too" he told me. I grabbed his phone from his hands and went to take a picture of myself. He stood behind me to get in the picture. He put his middle fingers up.

(A/N: That ain't Stas or what she looks like. I just wanted to use this picture to show what the pics like so don't picture her as Stas. Picture her however you want though since I don't have a certain image for her)

I gave him back his phone then grabbed mine.

"You ready?" He asked me. I nodded and smiled. I followed him out. I legit have been in this house for the past two days. I haven't left so I'm glad I can just go for a ride right now and chill. I slid on shoes then followed Ki out my door.

These girls better not be pretty or else I may freak out a little more. We walked down stairs and I saw them all in the living room. They are all so pretty. Damn it. I saw Jahseh sitting in the single cushion chair. All their eyes landed on us and I started to feel a little nervous. I don't like attention.

"Hey we'll be back. We're just going for a ride" I told them all.

"You good?" Stokeley asked me. I smiled softly and nodded.

"Yeah. Just bored" I said to him. He nodded back. Two of the girls stared at me with no emotion on their faces. Those must be the two Stokeley was talking about before. When he said two of them I probably won't get along with.

"You're really pretty" A different girl said to me making me look at her and smile wider. She must be one of the girls Stoke said I would get along with. She has long pin straight brown hair and blue eyes.

"Awe thank you. So are you" I said back to her.

"Awe that was cute" Isaiah joked making me roll my eyes jokingly.

"Oh shit wait Bunny I left my car keys upstairs" Ki said and started to walk towards the stairs, but I stopped him.

"It's fine. I'll go get them" I told him then started walking away. I quickly looked at Jahseh who was looking at me already then I walked upstairs. Why are we always looking at each other?

I offered to get the keys because I didn't want to wait for him downstairs with them. I'm sure he won't mind getting all the attention from those girls. I grabbed the keys from the bed and heard someone running up the steps. As soon as I walked out of my room, I bumped into someone. Jahseh.

"Hey" I said quietly.

"I thought you don't like when people call you Bunny?" He asked me with a quiet laugh.

"I don't, but Ki and Stoke called me that our whole childhood so I kinda just have to deal with it, but I don't like it when others call me that because they don't get it and it's kind of like our thing" I explained to him. He nodded slowly.

"Where are you guys going?" He asked. I shrugged.

"I just wanna go on a car ride" I told him. "What are you guys gonna do with those girls all night?" I asked jokingly.

"I don't want any of them. They're just friends to me" He told me. He's being serious too. Not joking like I just was. I nodded. It went silent as we just stared back at each other. I wasn't sure what to say back to him. "Stas I wasn't confused about whether I wanted to be with you or not. I was confused about myself because I am so scared to fall in love again and get hurt again, but I have been so willing to be with you. But that's because I have crazy feelings for you, Ta. I like you a lot. I've admitted it before. We had sex, do you think I'd just use you like that? I care about you way too much to do something like that. You live with us, why would I want to fuck it up and make things weird with us?"

I didn't except to talk about this today. Right now. It just hit suddenly. Why do I doubt him? Why do I think he'd do something to hurt me? Maybe I'm just scared I'll hurt him since he's so scared to get hurt. I'm scared to get hurt too. My last relationship was a lie and hurt me for months. I get it.

"Do you think I'd use you?" He repeated. I shook my head.

"No. I don't think you're like that. I just get scared too Jah. We have both been cheated on so we both feel that same pain. I get you're scared, I am too. I care about you too, but what if we do get together then something happens and it's weird in the house because of that? What if we just fight all the time and that ruins things in the house? I'd make myself move out because this is your house, but I love living here. I wouldn't want to leave. I wouldn't want us to be on bad terms." I said back to him.

"Stas we may be both scared to get hurt, but I don't think you will be the one to hurt me. We feel the same pain when it comes to relationships and I feel like that connects us more. Let's not think so far ahead. You're so used to getting hurt that you expect it to happen, but what we have could become something amazing and crazy and loving and- I don't know, but we won't know until we try" he said stepping closer to me and grabbing my hand that wasn't holding Kis car keys.

"I really like you, Jahseh. I'm just scared"

"I'm scared too, but I believe we will be okay. We have been fine so far, right?" He asked. I nodded agreeing. "Exactly"

"Stas did you find them?" I heard Ki yell from downstairs.

"Yes I'm coming!" I yelled back. "I gotta go" I said and Jahseh didn't let go of my hand. I put my hand on his chest and leaned closer. "I want to try with us" I told him. He smirked a little then I leaned in and kissed him.

"He better not touch you" He joked as he let go of my hand. I laughed and shoved his shoulder. I rolled my eyes playfully.
