The Promises He Made

^Chapter 15^

Chanelles p.o.v

I walked in the room and seen all the girls looking at me. I put my head down as I walked to my changing area. Tears came out of my eyes uncontrollably. I couldn't stop it. I seen Tamia nem push their way through some of the girls and look at me. They sighed and gave me a soft smile. I didn't give one back, I just looked down while pulling my sweats up. Tamia opened her arms and tilted her head to the right a little. I pouted as I walked into her embrace. They all gave me a group hug and rubbed my back as I layed my head on Tamias chest.

"It's okay, Nelle." Camryn said as I laid my head on her lap. Tamia, Kayla, Camryn, Kenjane, Sunjai, and Crystianna sat around me on the bus.

"Yall don't get it. Yall see how fine he is. Every hood rat up there is gon be all up on him!!! He probably already forgot me!" I pout wiping my face.

"That ain't true, sweetie. And I'll prove it." Sunjai says. She called for Tiaria. Ugh! Now ima be denied by the sister.

"Wassup?" Tiaria asks as she sat in front of us.

"You thank yo brother gon forget about Chanelle?" Kayla asks getting to the point.

I heard Tiaria laugh loudly. Well damn, a simple yes woulda don the job. Why she gotta fall out like that? Shoot-- Makin me feel worse than I already do.

"No! All he does is talk about Chanelle. Chanelle this. Chanelle that. Chanelle so perfect. I love Chanelle. Yatta yatta yatta." Tiaria answers.

I sat up quickly and looked at her.

"Hol up. Back up a couple yattas." I say readjusting the way I was sitting. "Love?" I look at her confused.

"Yeah gurl. He said you was different. And he felt real with you. That's why he said he gotta break it off. Cuz he couldn't risk hurting you. Or the other way around." She says like its nothin.

"The other way around? Why he say that?" I ask her. Everyone looks at me as if I just unlocked a mad gorillas cage door.

"Gurl you beyond gorgeous!! And this-- Hakeem boy, I hear everybody talkin bout isn't goin anywhere. Isn't him and yo brother best frands or something? Gurl he ain't goin no where. And I seen him before, he fine. So Deandre would rather you take care of that upfront. Than have to do something behind his back. Or him start messin around with one of them hoochies and be creepin around on you. He might have not said he loved you to your face. But he's my brother. I know when he care deeply for somebody." She explains with her hand on my knee.

"Wow......" I said speechless.

I ain't know he felt like that. I mean we only known each other 3-4 months? This is crazy! So many thoughts rushed through my mind at once. None of that love maters because at the end of the day he's gonna find somebody else. He'll be gone for almost a year. In that time he's gonna need someone who's there on a daily basis. And I will too. So he's gonna find love up there. I just know it. And it's gonna over power the love he Had for me. I had him for 3 months. The next girl will have him for 8 months to a fuvking year. So I'd rather move on now than to get my hopes up, for nothing.

I sat in the canopy bed out in my backyard while thinking. I been out here bout a hour just thinking. I heard footsteps walking closer to me but I didn't bother to look up.

"Hakeem if your here to mess with me go away. I'm not in the mood." I said with my face still buried in the pillows.

"Who's Hakeem?" I heard Dayvon say. I lifted my head and sighed.

"Oh sorry I thought you were.... Nevermind." I waved it off.

"What's wrong? Why you cryin?" He sat beside me. I wiped my face while scooting over.
