TWIN FLAME

• ONE •

The sound of the rain combined with the ac keeping my room cold is what kept me snuggled and sleep in my bed.. well that was until i heard a lil tapping noice.

opening my eyes i squinted looking at my phone reading the time.

"4 am" i said to myself with a raspy voice.

putting my phone down and turning over i heard the tapping voice again making me sit straight up.

not gone lie.. i just thought that was apart of my dream, now i'm scared.

getting up and turning the lamp on, I grabbed the bat i placed near my bed for this exact reason.

walking slowing towards my window i prayed that if whoever was on the other side wasn't about to gut me to death.

quickly swinging the curtains open while lifting the bat i suddenly stopped when the person i saw was someone i knew way too well.

"rell"

i said confusingly while dropping the bat and opening the window.

taking a look at him he was obviously going through something, he had the saddest look on his face i've ever seen. His clothes being soaking wet, stuck to his body. He just looked down at me sniffling.

"Come in, come in" i said moving out and rushing towards my closest to get him a towel.

Turning back around I threw him the towel and closed the window. I could tell he didn't want to talk.

His demeanor was very off

I pulled out a bin from the bottom of my closet and roamed threw it finally pulling out some of his clothes his left over.

That's another story for another time...

"Here" i said walking towards him placing the clothes near him on the bed.

The room was silent, besides the noice from the movement he was making as he changed his clothes.

I just sat there and fiddled with my fingers.

Him finally sitting next to me on the bed is what snapped me out of my day dream.

Looking at him i could tell he was truly sad, shit even I was getting sad now.

"You good?" i asked I threw some covers over our backs.

"He gone" I heard him say

Quickly looking at him my heart sunk to the bottom knowing there was only one person he could be talking about.

His dad.

"Wha— when I thought he was getting better, I though—" i said barley making a sentence.

"Ion wanna talking about it right now"
he said sniffling.

Sighing deeply I had no choice but to respect his wishes.

I reached over and turned off the light laying back on the bed, I felt him do the same.

Looking up at completely nothing.. I felt my eyes starting to feel warm and fill with tears.

Just as one slipped from my right eye I felt him pull my in close and rest his head in my neck.

Now feeling tears drop on my neck I knew he was crying too, i know what your thinking why are you crying.. for some reasons it was like I could feel his emotions, I was extremely sad that he was sad.

Running my hand up and down his back I could tell that he was allowing himself to get more comfortable, I felt his body merge into mine even more.. shorty after the sniffles stopped.

"Thank you" I heard him restlessly say.

Present day
• YN'S POV •
Waking up in my home well should I say one bed room apartment.. I jumped straight up and started to make my bed.

Glancing over at the clock, reading 8:30am I knew I didn't have much time to get to get ready and to get to class.

Walking into the bathroom I turned on the shower water and started to get undressed.

__________

"I'm actually a lil late to class mom, can I call you back" i said as I grabbed my book bag out of the back seat of my car.

Rushing into the building not really paying attention to what exactly my mother was saying I struggled to keep all of my books in my hand while holding the phone between my shoulder and ear

"Yeah, yeah I hear u ma"

turning around the corner quickly I felt myself being knocked down. Looking up I saw a tall figure.

"Damn ma my bad" he said as he squatted down to help me pick up my belongings

"Okay ma, i have to go.. I'll talk to you later love you"
I said hanging up the phone and shoving it into my back pocket.

trying to stack my papers back and shoving some into folders I heard the unknown tall figure continue to try and make chit chat wit me.

Finally grabbing everything I stood up and looked at him.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't really listening but anyways I'm kinda in a rush" i said.

"I said can—"

"Come on now dawg, u kno lil yn aint having all dat" rell said cutting him off while walking up.

Rolling my eyes i gave him a sarcastic smile and walked around them.

I've known rell or should I say terrell since we were young, we used to live next door to each other. We had a love hate relationship.

We were the best of friends, but after we hit high-school we just grew apart. We started to grow into ourselves. I was really into school and girly things and he was into sports, plus being with a girl 24/7 wasn't a good look for his image anyways.

Our mothers still communicate and go out from time to time with each other, our families still attend each other's get togethers and events.

A never ending thing.

We just so happened to get into the same college as each other. Both on full scholarships

Mine for academics and he's for basketball.

Finally making it to class.. of course 20 minutes late i walked in and straight to the back.

Sighing deeply as I sat down I grabbed my paper and pen and started to catch up on the notes.
