Cameron POV

"Hello?" I said into the phone.

Tyler responded, "Yeah Cameron, what's going on?"

"Uhhh, nothing. I'm actually just walking into the pizza shop to go be fat." I laughed walking through the door. "You want me to bring you something?"

"Yes mam. But get me a chop cheese instead. I'll pay you back."

"Where do I get that from?"

"The deli."

I sighed because the deli is all the way down the block from the bus stop. "Alright."

"Oh! Yeah, you're coming over right? Your dad, you know..." He trailed off.

I'm not even supposed to be out right now, my dad is blowing up my phone asking where I'm at and I responded, but without telling him where I am.

"Yeah, how else will I bring your stuff." I said.

"True. But, make sure you don't cancel on me." He sounded excited.

I told him okay and hung up.

I stood on the line feeling slightly bad about myself because I've only been consuming mostly fast food since school ended and I have put on a few pounds, but it's nothing I can't get rid of before school starts.

I say that as if I'm actually gonna exercise to lose the weight.ย 

I was waiting on line until something caught my ear.

"Girl, even after the pregnancy I'm still hungry as fuck at all times."

The voice was all too familiar. And I made sure not to make myself known.

"And your baby daddy should be paying for it." The girl Malaysia was speaking to laughed. "His pieces be hitting, anyway."

"Wait which one are you talking about?" Malaysia sounded confused. All I wanted was my pizza so I can leave. I don't want to hear their conversation but at the same time I can't tune them out.

"Anthony, who else?"

"Anthony?! Bitch." She laughed "his pieces ain't hitting, he's not smart enough for that. He was a bum ass drug dealer. Plus? He on the run from the cops, you forgot?"

"Oh yeaaah." The girl realized her mistake. "So which one of them was the scammer?"

"Kimani sexy ass, Ayahnii's father. She just based off of Anthony because that's who I want. Feel me? But shouldn't you know this already? Got me telling the whole pizza shop my business." Malaysia laughed but it was more laced with attitude than humor.

So, Anthony isn't the father to the kid. That's so disgusting of Malaysia, she's just nasty. And I wanted to confront her about it but I'm just testing my own
patience and composure.

"Yeah, i hear you. I had that dick back in what, 10th? Girl."

They laughed "Mmhmm." Malaysia moaned.

Why can things never be peaceful when I'm getting fast food.

"He knew how to use it...my mouth is watering. Too bad he's not around anymore." The girl moaned. The man put one of my pizzas down and told me the other one would be ready soon. I was getting very annoyed with them talking like that.

"Too bad he's not around? Tuh, if he was he'd be too busy engaging in faggot activities."

The man put down my other pizza and I took out money to pay him.

"Oh yeah, him and his gay ass boyfriend. I forgot."

I took my receipt and began to walk out the shop.

"Yo, isn't that him right there?" The girl said pointing at me.

I looked at her dead in her eye, but didn't say anything. That should say enough.

Malaysia looked surprised and busted. Good.

I was about to walk through the door when I felt someone grab my shoulder. I turned around and saw Malaysia and her friend. "Cameron, right? It's good to see you sweetie."

The tone of her squealing rang in my ears.

She began to speak sympathetically. "You know, I really appreciate you helping me with Ant and everything. We're both going through it with all the shit that's going on."

"Okay."

I moved moved my shoulder from her grip. And you know what else I realized? She couldn't keep up that Hispanic accent much longer. Suddenly she knows perfect English.

They were looking at me if I were the rudest person in the world. What kind of response did they want then?

"Yeah like Ayahnii need her father figure."

I frowned sadly. "Really? Aw Poor baby, tell Kimani to step up. Or maybe even the doctor you payed off to lie to Anthony? Or any other moving thing. You just never know with you. You got a lot of father figures to look to."

She couldn't muster up anything to say she just looked at me funny. I walked out.

I went to the deli and got Tyler's stuff then got on the bus to his house. I put my headphones in and played on my phone.

When I got to his house, I was about to knock on the door but his mother opened it before I could.

"Oh! Hey, sweetheart." She smiled and gave me a hug that I returned.

"Hi." I smiled.

"Go in, he's upstairs. I'm stepping out for a bit, make sure Tyler don't have no fast ass little girls coming up in my house today. Please."

She rushed out of the house and I walked in awkwardly.

"Hey Christian. I have pizza." I greeted Tyler's 15 year old brother that looked exactly like him. He has three other siblings but they live with his father.

"What's up. And save me some, I can't look away right now." He gave me a head nod and proceeded playing video games.

I went upstairs to Tyler's room. I knocked on his door.

"My nigga, you dead getting me tight. I don't have no fucking batteries! Move from my door." He shouted from the other side.

I laughed quietly to myself and continued to knock harder.

The door swung open. "I gotta say it tenโ€“ oh my bad."

"You're so mean to him."

"No he just been asking me all day for some batteries. Whatever though, come in." He stepped aside. Tyler's room is actually fairly clean for the type of person he is; but I know that's probably his moms doing.

I sat on a chair and gave him the bag from the deli.

"Yess Thank you, you're the best."

I watched him as he stuffed his face. It was mostly silent except for Tyler playing video games on his PS whatever number.

I was growing bored.

"So this is what I came here for?"

He spoke with his mouth full "nah."

He left it at that. And so did I.

Anthony POV

I parked my new car. I made sure there wasn't no one on the block before stepping out. All my things are staying in here though just in case I gotta leave quick.

I opened the front door to Tyler's house. Christian was playing on the game. He did a double take at me. "Ohhh shit, I can't pause right now, what are you doing here?"

I gave him a dap quickly. "Where's Tyler?"

"Oh they up there in his room." He said finishing the game and staring at me.

"Damn it's really been like what, almost five months now? Shit." He shook his head.

I went up the stairs and was about to open Tyler's door when I heard a high pitch laugh. It sounded familiar but I brushed it off and focused more on how he have somebody random over here when he knows I can't be seen.

I texted him.

Me: I'm outside your room.

Tyler: so come in tf

Me: u got someone over here wen u knew I was coming.

Tyler: shut your dumbass up its the tv๐Ÿ˜‚ .smh come on

I believed him and opened the door.

You ever know when something happens and you can't really pinpoint how you feel about it? Like you don't know if you're mad or just don't care. And you don't react on it at all, or at least show your reaction.

Yeah, well that's how I felt when I saw not only Tyler, but he had company.

I looked at Tyler and he had a smile on his face. When I had looked at Cameron though he didn't see me. He was facing his back to me because he had headphones in, he couldn't hear the door open.

"Come in."

I couldn't stop looking at him even if I only saw his back. It was just weird seeing him again after so much time. Plus, I didn't/ don't even want to after what he did. No, I don't forgive him. Especially that boy didn't die still kept my hatred alive for the situation.

"Why is he here?"

"Because this is my room. Chill out. How bout you say hi to him."

I ignored him. He threw something at Cameron and his eyes shot at him. "Ow, why'd you do that."

He looked in my direction and did a double take. He stared at me for a while unable to say anything. He just looked confused.

"Uhโ€”um, uhh ok." He said after a while of silence. He stood up and got his stuff together.

"Uh uh, where are you going?"

"Home." He responded to Tyler.

"No you're not."

"Watch me."

He started to walk out the door but Tyler ran after him. After a while they came back in and Cameron looked red; I couldn't tell if he was mad or crying.

"Anthony, you're not gonna say hi? You act like y'all wasn't together for almost a year."

I tuned Tyler out. The whole reason I came here is to throw off the cops, not to reunite with people I don't need to.

"No, he doesn't need to say anything." Cameron said.

I spoke up "If you gonna speak on me, speak to me. I'm right here."

"Oh so now you want me to talk to you?"

"Guys." I heard Tyler trail off awkwardly.

Cameron rolled his eyes and got his things together again. "Bye."

He walked out of the room. I followed him and when he got outside I grabbed his wrist. Luckily it was dark by now so nobody could really see who I was. I pinned him to my car.

"Can you move." He tried to pushed me.

"I don't care for this fucking attitude you got all of a sudden."

"Good, because it's not for you to care about."

I leave for some time and he acts brand new. I don't even know why I'm wasting my time.

"You know what, you're right."

I let go of him and watched as he walked down to the bus stop. I would say that I don't care what happens to him traveling this late by himself but if something did happen that would be on me.

I walked down to where he was standing. "Get back inside."

He didn't look at me and I was getting irritated with him. The bus came and he was about to get on but I grabbed him by the neck of his shirt and pulled him back making the bus driver look at us amused.

"You don't know how to fucking listen?" I let go of him when the bus drove off.

Cameron shrugged "I'm just trying to get home."

"I don't give a fuck, when I tell you to do something you do it."

He walked towards Tyler's house.
"You can't be serious." He spoke to himself. I thought he was gonna go in but he walked right pass. I kissed my teeth.

I really don't have time to be chasing after him because he don't wanna comply. If he was anybody else I'd fuck his ass up by now for that attitude. This isn't the Cameron I had left behind.

All the time I been gone I haven't asked about him or how he's doing or what he's doing because if I heard that he's good, that means he's good without me. If I hear he's upset it's because that boy is brain dead or something like that. So either way, he don't care about where I've been so why should I.

But this if what I get; him disrespecting me. I love how he acts like he has no sense talking to me like that. Yeah it's been a while, but ain't shit change.

I got in my car and drove after him.

Yes, I talked all that shit but I still have to take on my responsibility when I'm around.

"Get in."

I drove next to him, he kept walking and payed me no mind. I was losing my patience.

"Stop playing, get in."

Still no response.

I suddenly stopped the car have had enough of trying to compromise with him. I gripped the back of his neck and pulled him back. I practically had to drag him, but i pushed him in the passenger seat. He rubbed the back of his neck in pain with tears in his eyes that he was trying to hide from me.

"You think I want to touch you like that?" I got back in and accidentally slammed the door from my frustration. "How many times I told you not to ignore me, or fuck with me period? Don't act brand new like you didn't know this."

It was silent for the rest of the time to his place. I looked at him from time to time and caught him looking at me too.

He got out the fastest he ever has when we got there. I got out too and stopped him.

"I'm not coming back after this. I'm leaving tomorrow." I said.

Cameron POV

"Ok" I responded.

I didn't tell him, but I don't want him to go. I missed him. When I saw him my heart dropped and I got this sense of happiness but when I saw he had no interest in me anymore I lost it and got upset instead.

I didn't realize I missed him so much though. I wanted to interact with him how we did before, but I'd feel stupid because how do I look expressing my love for him while off the back he's showing he has no interest in me.

"You know I don't like to handle you like that. I don't like being disrespected. I have to say it again since it seems like you forgot." He said regarding him grabbing me which left a mark by the way

"Whatever Anthony, you'd think after all that time, on top of that you left me over assumptions, that I wouldn't have to 'do what you tell me to do' " I said quietly. "Four months. Four months without knowing where you were. And you all of a sudden pop up and wanna take me over again? No."

And of course he only addressed one thing I said.

"Assumptions? So y'all kissing was a assumption I made? Because I seen it with my own eyes."

I gave up. "You know what? You're never gonna hear me out. So here I go. I loved Makai, we were in a relationship, I kissed him in the hallway, I loved him more than you, I did you know what with him before I did with you, he took me out on dates when you weren't around." I ranted in one breath.

"Is that what you wanted to hear come out of my mouth? Because it seems like telling the truth just wasn't enough for you. So there you go. Take it and enjoy it."

"You're being sarcastic now. See, that's the shit that gets on my nerves." He stepped closer to me.

"So if you knowโ€” so why are you still on about it? When have I ever lied to you? That one time about going out with Makai, but that was so you didn't get the wrong idea and do anything stupid. That compared to all the time you lied to me is nothing! But I didn't care because I'm stupid and I love you too much."

I was out of breath and I felt there was tears in my eyes; out of frustration. But I fought them back because I don't want him to see my crying over him.

"Now a boy is disabled because of you."

"Regardless if it was y'all kissing or him kissing you, I don't regret nothing that happened to that nigga. Forcing it on you don't make it any better."

I shook my head just giving up with him. He's just does stupid things, he doesn't think, he doesn't care about anything he does or what could happen to him, he doesn't have remorse over people lives, he doesn't listen, he jumps to conclusions too fast. And to think that that's the only person I love in that way.

"I'm gonna go upstairs now."

I turned to leave but I remembered there was something I had to tell him. "Oh and you might wanna ask Malaysia about that baby before you leave."

He asked me what I meant.

"I was out and I overheard her talking
about you're not the father of it, someone name Kimani is."

It was silent. He looked like he was deep in thought, but he changed real quick. He looked mad. "Come. And don't let me turn around and not see you."

I followed him. He got in his car and so

did I. I saw him reach for the glove compartment and my heart rate went up when I saw what he pulled out.

"Anthony, why are you takin that out?"

He quickly loaded his gun and was talking to himself under his breath. "I don't like when people make me look stupid." He told me looking me dead in my eye.

I knew it was dangerous but I grabbed the gun out his hand, if felt weird grabbing it. "Stop, did you forget you're trying to get away from cops?"

He took it back pretty easily since my grip on it was so loose.

"Don't do that again, it could go off."

He began driving. "But wait, why do I have to come?"

He ignored me and kept driving. He picked up Tyler too who was just as confused as I was.

"What is he doing?" Tyler asked me. We were both sitting in the back.

"I told him about Malaysia lying to him and now he's mad. And now he's about to do something stupid."

I watched as he pulled up to a house. The lights were on so there were people home.

I tried to talk him out of it using my words and my body to restrict him but there was only so much I could do.

He stepped out the car bringing his gun with him. "Stay here."
