S:1 E:1 Goodbye😖

It was an regular day in the summer. I graduated 2 weeks ago, my parents were not there. Nobody was😔. I didn't have friends, my old ones left me out of things, I didn't mind tho I liked being alone until a certain point where I'd feel extra lonely. I did have a boyfriend who loved me but he almost killed me so I moved, that was in middle school. I never dated anyone after that. High school went by fast, that's good. I didn't really like it. Everyone was fake as hell. Every year I didn't join clubs nor teams. All I had was a job. Even in my freshman year I had one, I sold gloss for 2 years and saved every single dollar. Then in my junior year I got a job at a nail shop, it was new so it was booming that year. My senior year I got a job at a shoe store I worked there all year and through summer. But I quit. I opened an online store for my gloss business and started that back up and also I got my job is a critic now. I try food and rate it, I purchase clothes and rate them, I try makeups anything I try I rate it and get about $200 per rate. Good job I guess. So right now I'm selling my parents furniture, stupid shit, and non valuables. Lots of people bought that stuff. I made about $10,000 from all that stuff and I saved up $30,000 from all my years working in high school. The house is too expensive to keep so I just sold it. I got $200,000 from selling it so I moved and got a 1 bed, 1 bath luxury apartment. I guess you could say life is good but it's not. I have a garage downstairs in my apartment, that's where my parents valuables, pictures, and random stuff that won't fit in my apartment are. The house was pretty old so I'm glad I sold it, plus renovations would make me broke. The official amount of money that I made was $210,000. All that saved up. If you haven't noticed my parents have died and I had to burry them which was $10k for a shared grave. The apartment cost $20k so I saved lots. Now I'm all alone but I'm kinda happy, I'm free from my negativity. 1 month later I decided I'd start paying attention to my surroundings in my new complex. Today is Monday so I agreed that I wanted to jog 30 minutes every week day starting at 6:30. It's Monday. So I was jogging and I see other people jog too, mainly the same people. I always wave to them and say good morning and stuff, we may get a good chat in too🤷🏽‍♀️. So I do this for about a week then I start to see this new person pop up every now and then. So Friday that morning I ask my neighbor/jog buddy if she knows the new person that moved in. So since I forgot to tell y'all I'm Lux, I'm 5'0, I'm 18, I have long curly hair, I got 🎂, Im petite, but I still work out and I'm brownskin. Coral is my neighbor/jog buddy, she's 22, 5'5, short hair/always waves🌊, she's thick🍑 and she's a lightskin. We became friends, she's my only friend for now. That's all😁.
Coral: Girl yeah he's my cousin
Lux: 🤭
Also Lux: You fr?
Coral: Yeah, I can introduce y'all
Lux: Okay😁
So I go back home to shower and get all nice for my first introduction. I wore some jean shorts, a yellow cropped t-shirt, some fluffy yellow slides, and I slicked my hair down side part into a ponytail and put a flower clip on the shorter side. I was lookin baaaaaaaad🤪. Anyway I walked to Coral house and she opened the door. She was wearing some ripped jeans, a red tube top and some red af1s.
Coral: Hey girl, you look so cute😚
Lux: Thank you🥰
So she let me in and as soon as I walked in he was sitting on the couch. YALL HE WAS SO FUCKIN FOOOOOOIIIIINNNNNNEEEEE🥵. He a darkskin, about 6'3, dreads, he strong and a bit skinny, but he still fine. So he got up and walked to me, I just looked up and smiled. He smiled back at me and shook my hand.
Jay: Wussup, I'm Jay
Lux: nothin much, I'm Lux
Coral: Well I see y'all already getting into it, but he 20 and she 18..so
She went to go set up the table and me and Jay was just talkin.
Lux: So what's your job
Jay: I rap, but I'm also and entrepreneur, I make custom shoes
Lux: Oh cool, I'm also an entrepreneur and a critic
So we all ate some good ole seafood and watched a movie. Coral got tired so she went to sleep in her room. Then Jay offered to walk me home. So we locked up their apartment and walked to my house. So I let him in.
Jay: Yo, this mad nice
Lux: Fr?
Jay: Yeah
So we sit on the couch and talk. Then I start drifting off and I feel a tap on my shoulder, I look over and Jay is sitting there with his arms wide open. This made me tear up, I know he was confused.
Jay: what's wrong
Lux: I didn't get to say goodbye😭, they never made it to my graduation, they weren't good people but I still loved them😖
He hugged me and that made me cry even more, I was bawling my eyes out on someone I just met.
Jay: It's okay, I understand my dad died before I was born and my mom died giving birth to my brother, he lives with our aunt and I live with Coral
We hugged it out and I fell asleep in his arms. I woke up in my bed wearing a big shirt and my bonnet on. I walked to the living room and Jay was laying on the couch with his feet hanging off. His shoes was at the front door cause (bitch don't wear no shoes in my house) period. So I made him a bacon, egg, and cheese croissant with apple juice. And I made myself a fruit salad.
Lux: Jay
Jay: hm?
He looked up at me and smiled.
Jay: Oh hey, your up😊
Lux: Hey
So he got up and he was on his way to leave.
Lux: Jaaaaaaaayyyyy
Jay: hm?
Lux: Look
I pointed to the croissant.
Lux: I made you some breakfast
Jay: Oh really
He sat down and prayed then said thank you. Then I got a FaceTime call.
Ft:
Coral: Hey girl good morning, you look good
Lux: Aw thanks, I just woke up😅
Then we talked while I ate my fruit salad.
Coral: Do you know where tf Jay is? I loose him like I loose my AirPods😂
Lux: Lmao, yea he right here😭
I showed the phone towards him and he grabbed it and they was talking. I went to my room and got ready for the day. I was wearing a red spaghetti strap dress, Jordan 1s (red,black,white), and a black jean jacket. We cleaned up and I locked the door and we headed to Coral's apartment.
