Known to carry big things if yah know what I mean"

Ivy's POV
"So when you gone tell them Ivy." Andres voice boomed as soon as Khalil and Zahir left out of the door to go to the store
"I'm going to just give me some time." I mumbled and began to straighten up the living room
'They always leaving shit on my floor'
"It been 2 weeks Ivy and I done already seen Yo ass still hanging with that sun colored ass nigga at school, you obviously ain't bout to tell, so when they get back here on my mama I'm tellin them." He huffed out and I whipped around with pleading eyes
"Andre please just let m- Hell Nah it already been 2 weeks and you ain't even break up with ole dude so yeah, soon as they step in this bitch they bout to know." He cut me off and zoned back in on the Hannah Montana episode on the screen
"I agree with Andre Ivy, you need to tell them." Yasanity finally chimes in
"Tell who what?" I heard Zahir say from behind me making me quickly snapped my head back to Andre, silently pleading with him
"Ivy got sum to tell y'all." Andre spoke and I swear I could hear my heart beating out of my chest
"What chu gotta tell us sis?" Khalil asks as he goes to sit next to Yas on the couch
"Um." I started, afraid to tell them this secret that I've been hiding for weeks, "Nothing." I said quietly, feeling Andres hard stare on my face and after a few seconds of silence I thought he wasn't gonna tell them
'That's what I get for thinking'
"That nigga been putting his hands on Ivy."Andre said lowly and my eyes quickly snapped from Khalil to Zahir fast trying to gauge their reactions
"You said what." Khalil asked, trying to figure out if he heard him right
"I said that bitch ass pale nigga been puttin his hands on Ivy." He spoke louder and both Khalil and Zahir quickly snapped their eyes to me, looking like they were trying to confirm this allegation with me
"Ivy, he tellin the truth?" Zahir asked and I quietly nodded my head as tears streamed down my face
I was crying because after my talk with Yas and Dre, Tyriq called me, apologized and pulled up to my house with a big bouquet of blue roses, a big box of chocolates, and a bag of all of my favorite candies, but when I told him I'd never get back with someone who put their hands on me, he threatened to kill hisself and I couldn't live with myself if I knew someone's blood was on my hands, so I agreed to stay with him. Even after his apologies and gifts, the abuse got worse these past 2 weeks and he won't even let me sit with my friends at lunch. I was planning to never tell Khalil and Zahir, but I guess it was inn avoidable
