Lexi
I opened the door to Lani's house and headed to her room saying my hellos to her parents. "Bestfriend?" I said closing her door and looking at the lump in her bed
"What?" Lani growled while scooting over. "What's wrong?" I said laying down next to her. "Nothing." She said sourly while cuddling with me. "Is it Alex?" I asked preparing for the tea to be spilled.
"Mhm and D."
At first, I didn't know who D was but I was blank as ever. "Deja." She said before gagging. "You caught Alex with Deja?!"
"Yeah, then I beat Deja's ass."
"What about Alex?" I asked rubbing her thigh up and down. "Who?" Lani chuckled as I touched her inner thigh. "It's okay Lani, things like this happen."
"Yeah? Well, things like that don't happen to me." Lani sighed moving my hand and shifted away facing the wall. "She had me fooled." Lani sniffled. Lani is a fragile girl and she's new to relationships, it hurts to see her like this.
Alex POV
Damn, she really left me. Lani's really gone, all because I messed with someone I barely know. She's so heartbroken and it makes me feel terrible.
"You're a manipulative liar"
"I don't like you anymore."
"I can't believe I fell in love with you."
When she said those things to me it was like a punch to the face. I just want to make it up to Lani and forget about Deja. I've gotten so attached to Lani that when she leaves I just act out. It's only her who has that effect on me. She makes me want to do better as a person.
Letting the gang find out about this is probably the worst thing that could happen. Lani refuses to respond to any of my text messages. I don't know what I was doing, it was happening to fast for me to catch myself in the act. I value Lani so much and I tell myself that I will be soft on her.
Niah busted in my house with a confused expression. "What on earth did you do?!" "Nothing," I said simply taking a sip of water. "Really?! Then why is Lani in such a mood?!" Niah gave me her phone and I scrolled up through her and Lani's messages.
"She literally fucked my cousin, I know what I saw." I read the messages out loud and I was just in shock. "Her cousin! The new girl! How slow can you be?"
I received a smack in the head. "Fix it, fix it now," Niah said before leaving. I can't fix it if Lani doesn't want to talk to me. Who knows how long it'll be until she talks to me again, I know what I did was wrong but Lani is really all I have.
I wanted her so bad and I still do! I don't know where my mind was at when I brought Deja home. I've been in plenty of relationships before but I've never been committed to it, with Lani I want to be with her for the rest of my life, I just don't know how to show it.
Lani
For someone who claims to love me, that's one hell of a way to show it! I've been nothing but nice to Alex even though we haven't been together that long I'm still nice to her. Then Deja has the nerve to come strutting inside my life to 'come and see me again.' I don't like Deja! I never have, she's so annoying and gets everything she wants, including Alex!
I can't have a good life! My parents don't love me! Alex doesn't love me! That's really the scoop! The crazy thing is Deja doesn't even like girls! So here I am losing my girlfriend to a bitch who doesn't even like girls! I don't deserve this, I deserve so much better and I know it.
I don't want to talk to Alex, I don't want to see Alex, I don't want any part of her. I knew all this was too good to be true!
"We can go home if you want." Lexi looked at me as I shook my head. "No! I refuse to sit at home in my misery." I don't know what I'm trying to prove but I'm not gonna do it by sitting at home and crying.
"Lani, it's okay to cry." Lexi rubbed my arm up and down as I sucked my teeth. "I've spent my whole life crying, a girl isn't gonna be a reason for me to cry." I'll cry over anything expect Alex! Expect a girl! I just won't do it because I know I'm stronger than that.
It's obvious Alex doesn't deserve me, I know what my worth is and if Alex doesn't then it wasn't meant to be. I have all my life to find someone who really deserves me and unfortunately, Alex wasn't one of them.
Boom
