"Hello?" I called out as I walked into Faiths house.

"Hey" Faith said softly as she turned the corner coming to me. "How bad was it?" She asked noticing I'm crying. I shook my head.

"I just don't want to look at him or be in the same house as him" I told her.

"I get it. Come on let's go sit" she said nodding her head towards the living room. "I'm not alone" she told me as I followed her. But before I could ask, we walked into the living room and I saw Ki and Stokeley. Their attention came to me.

"Where the fuck did you go?!" I yelled at Stokeley. He looked at me shocked.

"Chill. Y'all ditched us at the venue so me and Faith came here and brought Skies with us" Stokeley said sounding confused. "Why are you crying?" He asked. Ki just sat looking confused as well.

"We didn't ditch you. Jahseh got into a fight and I lost him and he left me at the venue and went home with Craig and Gabe. I got home and tried to ask why he left me there then we got into a huge fight" I explained then sat down. I put my hands over my face and I felt Faith sit next to me.

"Wait what the hell?" I heard Stokeley. I just started to cry harder again.

"Tonight's been fucking terrible" I said through my cries. I just cried into my hands.

"Shhh it sucks girl, I know, but it will be okay" I heard Faith say as she put her hand on my shoulder.

"I hate him" I mumbled.

Did I really mean that? No. Not at all. He just got me so mad. I don't think I've ever been this mad at him. Actually no he cheated me. I've been more mad.

"Yo what happened to your arm?" I heard Ki ask. Now he speaks. He didn't say one thing since I got here. I picked up my head and looked at my upper arm. I saw the cut from when Jahseh pushed me.

"Oh it happened at the venue. It's nothing" I lied and looked over at Faith. She's looking at me sadly and also like she doesn't believe me. She knows when I'm lying. Every time I don't understand how. But she knows not to mention it now.

"Ima go home and calm the nigga down. Come back with me" Stokeley said making me look at him as he stands up. I shook my head.

"I'm not going home" I told him. He nodded understanding.

"Come here then" he said moving closer to me and started to open his arms wide. I stood up and hugged him tightly. "Text me later" he said pulling away. I nodded. "See y'all later" he then walked out the room.

"Lay down here, Bunny" Ki suggested as he stood up. I nodded and laid down on the couch him and Ski where just sitting on. Ki sat where I was sitting before. I grabbed the blanket from the back of the couch and placed it over me. "Take this too" he told me as he passed me his sweatshirt that he's been holding.

"Thank you" I sat up and slid that on before laying back down. I laid on my side and just stared at the other side of the room.

"Do you wanna talk about it?" Faith asked me.

"No" I quietly answered her without looking at her.

"You should go. I think we're both just gonna go to sleep now. I'm mad tired and I'm sure as hell she is" I heard Faith tell him. True. I'm tired as hell.

"Ight. That's cool. Just make sure she's okay" Ki said to her. I still feel so bad for ignoring him. I'm surprised he's not mad at me for it. I looked over at them and saw them both standing now. "Goodnight, Stas" He said as he walked over to me. He leaned down and kissed my forehead softly. "I love you. Be safe"

"I love you too. Goodnight" I replied to him then watched him and Faith walk out the room. I know she's walking him out. I also know what's she's thinking. She's probably thinking Jahseh hurt me. I mean, he did, but not like by him hitting me. He pushed me just like how I pushed him. Even though that's not an excuse, but still. I rolled over to my other side and closed my eyes. I need to go to sleep. Let's hope I'm able to.

"Jahseh texted me" Faith told me as she looked down at her phone. "He asked me where you are"

"Don't answer him" I begged her and leaned my head back against the couch.

"He just texted me again" she looked back down at her phone. "He said 'I know she's with you. Tell her to answer me please'" she read then looked up at me. I sighed and looked away. "You told me everything that was said, but you didn't tell me what the hell he did to you. I know you didn't get that at the concert" she said making me look back at her.

"Maybe I did after I left you" she raised an eyebrow. She knows damn well I didn't get it there.

"Did he hit you last night?" She asked me like she was scared to know the answer.

"He just pushed me that's all. But-"

"There's no but, Stas. That's not good-" I cut her off now.

"He was trying to push my hand away from him because I tried to grab him and I moved my hand so he pushed me accidentally. I hit my shoulder on the door frame" I explained to her. Even though I'm pissed at him, I'm still going to defend him. "It was an accident" but was it really.

"It's already bruised" she said as her eyes traveled to my exposed shoulder. I brought the blanket up higher to hide it from the sight. She looked back up at me. It's a bruise and with the cut, it looks worse than it is.

"I'm fine. For real. If he were to hit me, you know I wouldn't be with him and I would tell you" I said trying to make her feel better about it because I know she's thinking negative shit. She nodded.

"I know"

I grabbed my phone that I haven't looked at it since last night. I didn't want to look at it when I woke up. I know Jahseh must have text me because he texted Faith. I saw a text from Stokeley and a bunch from Jahseh.

I read the text then put my phone back down.

"He texted me again" I heard Faith say. I looked over at her for her to tell me. "He said 'make sure she's okay please'. Do I answer?" I sighed.

"Yeah" I told her. I don't really want to go home today.
