“Don’t act like that, beautiful. Please, just get in the car with me. I’m already taking a chance by bringing my ass down here in the first place. Come on, baby, let me make it up to you.” Raheem all but got on his hands and knees and begged me to get in the car with him.

It was 7:40 in the morning, and I was at school, just standing in the car drop off section because my mom had just dropped me off about five minutes ago. I was about to head for class since the first bell had already rang, but all of a sudden, I heard my name called. Out of all the people who could have been calling my name, I never in a million years thought that it would be Raheem, especially not this early in the morning. He was the type of guy who didn’t wake up until later in the afternoon sometimes.

I wanted to continue ignoring him, but his effort this morning was so convincing for me to skip school and hang with him, which was what he was asking me for. Since my little brother was shot, this was my first time hearing from, let alone even seeing Raheem. Of course, I still loved him, but the fact of the matter was that my brother and I were caught in the middle of a cross fire and he ran off like a little bitch, not even bothering to help us out. That showed me pretty much all I needed to know about him, and for that, the feelings that I had for him now were a little conflicted. Like, would it be a betrayal to my family, especially Jaden, if I were to start back messing around with Raheem? Then, on the other hand, Raheem was my first love, so I couldn’t just stop messing around with him altogether. I was so confused on what decision I should make.

“Come on, baby. You going to fuck around and get us both busted. What if the security guard or some shit come out here?” he asked.

He was in the driver’s seat, but the passenger side window was down, and that’s how he was talking to me. I loved this man too much to watch him get in trouble because of my stubbornness, so I quickly walked in the direction of the car and got inside. Like a bat out of hell, he quickly got out of dodge, and I threw my head back against the headrest, thinking to myself that I had to be crazy for doing this.

This man had showed me time and time again that he didn’t love me, but here I was, coming back for more each time. Because of him, there was now a dent in the relationship that I had with my mother because I felt like he was changing me. Then again, I didn’t even know if I cared too much about the dent in the relationship with my mother.
