49.

Spencer

Y/N and I got back to her place as I was sitting on Y/N's bed. She didn't say too much the car ride from me picking her up and dropping Storm off at her friends house. All She did was just thank me which knowing her I know somethings wrong. Currently she was in her bathroom getting dressed. She came out the bathroom dressed

as her hair as back up in weave Which was still in curls from earlier when I picked her up from the airport. "Baby What's going on? You've been quiet" I brought up. "Spence I have been talking" She brought up unzipping her suitcase and tossing her purse on the bed. "Not enough" I started off. "You should know by now I know when something is up" I said as her phone rung and she looked at it before silencing it.

She just bit the inside of her cheek "I'm tired" she admitted "so then lay down and unpack tomorrow, I'll come back later" I suggested standing up so she could get in the bed. "No Spencer, I'm tired" she repeated as I looked at her. "Of what? What's going on?!" I asked concerned. "It's more than one thing. I snapped on Layla Friday because I am tired" she said getting ready to shut down.

"Talk to me, do what you got to do. Whether you cry, scream hell even hit me some. But I need you to talk to me and not shut down nor shut me out. Whatever anger you have let that shit out. None of it is healthy to keep bottled in" I said as tears fell from her eyes and she looked down before looking back up at me.

"I uh- while I was in New York I seen my Aunt Rebecca and I fucking lost it" she admitted. "What did you do?" I asked as she scratched the back of her neck. "It wasn't nothing major" she assured as her phone started ringing once again. "You gonna get that?" I questioned. "Uh Nope" she started off as I went to grab her phone out of her purse and seen some pills.  I grabbed her phone along with the pill bottle placing it in my hoodie pocket quickly.

I then  noticed it was her mother calling. I immediately placed it on speaker as Y/N rolled her eyes some. "Talk to her" I mouthed "hello?" Y/N said as her mother sighed "Y/N what did you do?" Her mother asked through the sigh. "Your aunt called and told me you took a bat to her things" my mother said as I looked at Y/N concerned. "The way she was talking down on me momma I was pissed and frustrated and-" Y/N started off.

"Yeah I get that, but you smashed her dining room glass table, her glass coffee table smashed the TV and other things all because she pissed you off. So now because of your anger I have to replace it and you may or may not have a damn case against you" her mother said as Y/N just closed her eyes. "You're trying to make me feel crazy and bad when I did it for a reason" Y/N stressed. "Y/N what was your reason other than you losing your dad and whatever is going on with you and Spencer?" She asked as Y/N and I looked at each other.

"It's not because of him" she assured "what? Is it the new boy Tyrone you've been dealing with?!" Her mother said as I looked at Y/N. "Ma I've literally been going through this for years when it came to aunt Rebecca, she talks down on me continuously, made me feel as if I am nothing still doing it and drugged me knowingly so yes I am angry" She admitted.

"Y/N what are you talking about?!" Her mother asked "I'll talk to you about it when you get back. Im honestly tired right now" she lied as they said their goodbyes and she hung up. "Tyrone who?!" I asked "Tyrone he's just someone I've been hanging out with" she answered "why?" I asked "did coop set you up with him?!" I asked pulling out my phone. "No" she answered "why are you acting like that?!" She asked concerned.

"Y/N stay away from him, you have no business being around him" I expressed about to dial Coop's number. "Why? what's wrong with him?! He said you two go way back" she brought up as I looked at her. "Y/N he's in the streets" I said as she looked at me as if she seen a ghost. "What?!" She asked. "Coop got him taken down while at the game by the police" I informed. "No I just got a call from him earlier saying he was getting out and he was in there because of racial profiling" she said. "No he's in there because he killed someone and coop is trying to take him down " I said as Y/N immediately placed her hand over her mouth.

I called coop as Y/N sat down on the bed with her face in her hands. Coop answered on the third ring. "Ain't you supposed to be chilling with your girl?!" Coop asked. "Coop Tyrone is getting out" I said. "Wait what?!" Coop questioned. "Y/N just told me" I said looking down at her as she wiped her tears away. "How does she know?" Coop asked. "Apparently Tyrone put himself on with her and didn't wait for you" I said.

"Aight Imma hit up preach right now" she said "aight let me know what he says" I said as we hung up. "I'm such a fucking idiot" she said to herself. "You're not. Did He do anything to you?!" I asked concerned looking over her. "No" she answered. "What were you even doing in Crenshaw without me, when did this start?!" I asked. "When We had our falling out the next day when I was going "Somewhere" I was going out to Crenshaw to meet up with Patience. I was sad so she ended up suggesting staying the night And when she went inside to get her things. That's when Tyrone came up to me" she explained.

"So you two been talking for over a month and no one knew about it?" I questioned. "I was just talking to him, it wasn't like I was dating him why would I tell everyone who I'm talking too?" She asked. "We we're talking and having sex. Did you have sex with him?" I asked boldly. "No" she admitted as I looked away from her. "I didn't hear anything from you since that day. Why?" I asked. "After everything, You told me we were better off as friends so I left you alone" she said as I looked at her crazy.

"When have I ever said that we were better off as friends?!" I questioned as she pulled out her phone. "Yeah please show me because I've never said that" I said as she showed me the text. I then went to my messages not seeing the message that I "Supposedly" sent. "That's why I didn't deal with you. Yeah I said what I said about being friends when mad but I felt like you fight for everyone else. Fought to be with both Olivia and Layla so I just thought I wasn't good enough to fight for" she explained.

"Nah what?" I asked shaking my head some "why would you ever feel that way?" I asked. "I don't know look in the media and what's going on with black women." She started off "we're not protected nor excepted even by our own men. And if we are we have to fit a certain standard and I am not that standard" she said. "And what exactly is that standard?" I asked as she looked away. "You know what don't worry about it, it's stupid" she said standing up.

"It's because of your skin isn't it?" I asked as she just looked at me. I just stood up and looked at her. "Me and my aunt was talking-" she started off. "Stop dealing with people like her" I started off. "I can't explain for every other black guy but you are so beautiful and It's not stupid if it hurts you and it's affecting us as a community" I said as she faintly smiled as I grabbed her hands. "You are so beautiful" I stressed looking at her.

Tears started to fall from her eyes as she hurried and wiped them. I just hugged her tightly as she hugged me back. "You're beautiful inside and out" I said. "It seems like no matter how much we bring awareness to it, it will continue to be the same shit but you gotta keep your head up and know you're beautiful" I said as she pulled away some and we looked at each other.

I placed my lips on hers as she was hesitant to kiss back but slowly started to kiss back. I pulled away as we smiled and looked down. "Um I wanted to talk to you about these" I said holding up the pills bottle. "Where did you find that at?!" She asked looking at it confused "in your purse are you still using it?" I asked. "No my aunt must've dropped it in my bag when I wasn't looking she kept pushing me to use this and I kept telling her I didn't want them" she said taking the bottle from me as she walked into her bathroom and I heard the toilet flush.

"They're gone" she simply said looking through her purse and soon her suit case. "This bitch is crazy her own niece" she said "sometimes it be the people you never think that would do it" I said as she simply nodded her head.

"You still ain't off the hook for what happened with your aunt" I started off. "You broke the TV?!" I asked as she laughed.
