Loyal At First Sight ✔️

"You left, you fucking left me Maya. You were my lifeline and when you left me, I drowned so don't stand there and pretend that everything is okay."Elijah yelled his fists clenched in anger, his jaw ticking as he tried to reign in his emotions.

"Joey, please..." I begged remembering the sweet nickname I used to call him when we were kids.

"No! You don't get to call me that anymore. Why are you even here? Shouldn't you be in Nigeria buried in some cemetery somewhere. I mourned for you Maya so seeing you back here is just too painful to bear. Please just leave me alone."He spat spitefully.

"I came here to see you Jo.. Sorry.. I'm here for you Elijah, for my best friend. I know I messed up when I left and didn't keep in touch but I've missed you and I want to fix things."I pleaded.

"No!"He gritted out without even giving a second thought to my plea.

"No?"I mumbled already seeing the rejection coming.

"Yes, No! You don't get to come back and pick up where we left off."Elijah demanded.
