When Leyla catches her boyfriend cheating on her she decides she's had enough and swears off guys but that is until she meets her ex-boyfriends neighbour. When the black girl falls inlove with the white guy despite her history with guys...
"Jordan didn't tell me you I would be here, let alone that you were still seeing each other." I said to her.
"He doesn't know I am here he left the key by my apartment and said I could come whenever I had time-" She stopped unexpectedly. "Why are you interogating me this is my boyfriends apartment what are yo doing here?"
"He didn't tell you?" I asked with a smirk on my lips. "He said he wanted me back and that the incident was a big mistake, so here I am trying to solve it all." I said with a straight face trying my best to hold back the laughter.
"Really! He said that to you?" She asked with a sad look on her face.
Feeling bad for her I fold "No, babe I dumped him remember, I don't go back. It's not in my nature"
After a while it started getting a bit awkward so I decided to start what I had actually came here for, when I noticed she was still standing there looking at her feet.
"What is it Bre what is yor problem now." I asked starting to get annoyed by her presence.
"You still all he ever talks about you know, even when his sad he always just wants to talk to you, I've tried talking to him about it but it's like I am pushing him away, Leyla I ussually don't ask much but do you know what's up with him." She said with a tear falling from her right eye.
"Oooh! Well, I for one don't think it is my place to say what's going on but I do know that Jordan likes to deal with things on his own it took him a year into or relationship for me to find out a lot about him and I think he likes you enough right? he did give you a key" I said and then coughed out "And slept with you when him and I were together."
"I heard that but I'll let it go, I deserve all the toxic slurrs you'll throw my way because I was jealous of you and his relationship, I was angry that you didn't try to hit me when you caught us together and I am still angry that I managed to break you guys up and still he doesn't even talk to me about his problems and runs back to you. I hate that he sometimes calls you when we are both watching a movie to ask if you have watched it. I hate that his gym working out playlist name is your name, but mainly I hate you, I hate you for being such a nice person and breaking up with him and still choosing to stay by his side as his best friend. I hate you for not hating him." She finally finished with a tear rolling down her eyes.
Analysing the situation I saw that she had a glare that was sent my direction so I decided to tread lightly with what I would say next. After starring at her for a little while longer I decided against my ussual condescending and sarcastic tone and went with the truth for the first time.
"Honestly" I paused thinking about my next words wisely. "When I decided against going all the way with Jordan I knew he would do something stupid at a point eventually but not in his own room when he knew I had a key, but after I saw him with you something definitely hurt but not my heart, my pride. I just feel like to me I was his everything and then just like that I was nothing again. I have loved Jordan my entire teenage-hood he was my first love story so I was angry, Oh I was outraged alright but it wasn't your relationship to break he ruined it so that's why I did not beat you up for being the outlire. I don't hate you but I also don't want to fake a friendship with you where it would be one sided." I paused thinking what else I should say.
"I can't hate Jordan. He has been through so much and yet he chooses to love everyday, his an amazing human being despite it all. Jordan and I have been friends longer than we were together he takes care of his mom and his brothers and sometimes even my sister I usually don't say positive things about that guy but damn it some days I thank God for him too. I am really sorry you feel like my presence in his life has more importance but I am like his sister and we have that bond I am not asking you to trust me all I'm asking you is to believe that he really wants to be with you so enjoy that before you lose it." I finished breathing out a sigh. "If it makes you feel any better I still cry about it sometimes." I smiled a bit and left her to digest what I had just said whilst I got back to the work I was initially here for.
She qickly whispered a thank you in such a way where I wasn't sure I was spposed to be listening. As I walked away she smiled a little and I knew from that moment that getting over this guy would not be as easy as I had thought.
