Perplexion

Untitled Part 9

~Faith's POV~:

"H-he's gone." Lisa pulled me into a hug.

"Tell me what happened."

After he left, I called Lisa. I had to tell somebody and I knew Rayquan was busy this weekend.

"Langston called me Wednesday.. he wants me back. I've been throwing Calvin so much shade and I know it's hurting him." We were sat on the couch, my head in Lisa's lap. She smelled like cherry blossoms.

"Why didn't you just tell Calvin what happened?"

"You don't understand. I can't just tell him." Lisa rose an eyebrow.

"I don't want to tell him, honestly. Every time Langston pops in, I feel like I'm ready to do any and everything to be with him. It's like I'm under some spell.. if you haven't gone through it you really wouldn't understand." She sighed heavily.

"Damn. I know you don't want to go through this bullshit again so you need to have a serious talk with Langston. You don't even wanna be with him, do you?" I took a deep breath, making the mental decision to be completely honest with Lisa.

"This hurts me so much, Lisa. And the worst part is, deep down, I do want to be with him. Even more than Calvin."

"Are you fucking kidding? After all those years?" I sat up and distanced myself from her.

"Do not fucking judge me. Like I said, you really wouldn't understand."

"You're right, I don't understand. I'm really trying not to judge; this whole thing just sounds insane." I let my head fall in my hands.

"You know what? I think I just wanna be alone." Lisa gave me a sympathetic look as she walked through my front door.

"I really tried, Faith. I love you, please don't do anything crazy." I closed the door and slid down against it. I have to end this..

~Calvin's POV~:

The only place I could think to go to right now was Drayton's house. I had a spare key so I didn't bother myself with knocking. Although I was standing outside, I could hear A$AP Rocky's Ridin' blasting through the walls. The fuck..

When I walked in, it was nearly deafening. As I neared the living room I heard loud moaning so I turned right back around. Nope, not today.

I went into the basement and texted Dray to tell him I was in his house. I didn't want him to find me and think I'm a creep.

I sat on the big, couch bed and turned on the huge, flatscreen tv to distract my mind.

~Faith's POV~:

Since my "boyfriend" took our car, I had to use my legs. Walking a good 5 miles through the night, I finally reached my destination. I knocked on the door.

My breath hitched at the sight of the person who answered my knock. His dark skin was illuminated by the moonlight, his deep brown eyes eyeing me. He smirked and put his hand on my waist, drawing me close.

"What are you doing here?" I shrugged, trying to act nonchalant.

"Just came to say hi." He looked behind me.

"Where's your car?" I put my hands in my pockets.

"I walked here. I'm stressed.. I need you to help me. Help me forget, Langston." He yanked me inside and the madness began.

If I told you that a flower bloomed in a dark room would you trust it?
I mean I write poems in these songs dedicated to you when
You're in the mood for empathy, there's blood in my pen
