Secret Love

15

It's been 3 days since tour ended and I still havent seen Roc. He doesn't answer texts or calls either and I'm finally giving up.

"I haven't had a sleepover in such a long time! @_Mini_YourMouse where are you!? I miss you girly." I tweeted.

I scraped my hair back into a ponytail and threw on a pair of my slides. Despite the fact that it's hot outside I put on my hoodie, cuz I really do miss Roc. I let my mom know I was ganna go and grab some icecream before slipping out the door. As I walked the busy streets I saw old couples, young couples, even gay couple walk by. It made me sad! They all look so happy. I wanna be like them, but he's...Roc and I can't have a normal relationship.

After ordering my medium sized Mint swirl I sat down at one of the small round tables. My phone beeped once, that means I have a new DM. I smiled when I saw the name @_Mini_YourMouse pop up. My smile quickly faded once I opened the message.

"Nayla! I. Can't. Believe. You. I WAS your bestfriend and you didn't tell me!? UGH! And whats up with that pic of u and Roc in pajamas!? People are saying you slept together. Everyone knew we were friends and now they won't leave me alone! Nayla...I just..can't believe you didn't tell me!

UNFOLLOW ME! Unfriend me on Facebook. I'm deleting my IG and don't ever ever text me! Nayla I DONT WANT U IN MY LIFE! ENJOY YOUR BOYFRIEND!"

I placed my phone and icecream cup down on the table so that I could wipe away my tears...I wiped both eyes multiple times.

-Mini! </3 I need you. Please don't do this! I wanted to tell you, but I couldn't! You know now...

-NO! NAYLA THAT DOESNT MAKE IT OK! OK? SCREW YOU. LEAVE ME ALONE. GOOOOODDDDDBBBBBBYYYYYYEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-Bye.

I shoved my phone into my pocket and looked down, watching myself twirl my spoon in the icecream. I didn't want everyone here to notice I was crying. I told myself I'd stay till I calmed down a little and then walk out without looking directly at anyone.

"Nayla?" A voice called.

"Huh?" I looked up to see a skinny girl with pink hair. "Bahja? What're you doing here?"

"I was ganna grab an icecream cup and go back to the hotel...now I'm here talking to a pretty, crying girl." She said smiling.

"I'm fine." I said with a bit of an attitude.

"Look." She sighed and sat down. "Everyone thinks that I liked Roc ok. Let me tell you right now that boy is NOTHING but a brother to me. That "spiffy boy" I liked was a friend of Rocs. he knew that, I knew that, no one else knew that."

"Oh." I sniffled, that made me feel better.

"So why are you crying? What did Roc do!? Cuz I swear I will murder that--"

"Woah!" I laughed. "It's not Roc it was my best-- my EX bestfriend. She got mad I didn't tell her about Roc and she said she never wants to talk to me again."

"I'm sorry. I lost a lot of friends once OMG got big." She frowned.

"It sucks."

"Yupp. So what're you up to today?"

"I was just fenna go home and swim. I was hoping my friend McKenzie could spend the night, but she's back home in Ohio."

"Oh. Cool."

"What're you doing today?"

"Nothing. Star's at home and Babydoll's shopping with her mom. I'm at this hotel down the street."

"Awww."

"Yeah. No fun."

I hesitated for a second before talking. "Wanna come over? We could swim and you could...spend the night if you wanna."

She smiled, her braces worked wonders for her perfect teeth! "I think that'd be great actually!"
