I began to press the button for the elevator to come down, only to discover that a sign was posted earlier about it being out of order.
I really couldn't stand this place, it seems like nothing was being fixed around here. The elevator had been like this for a month now and I still have to walk up these flight of stairs everyday after coming from school or work.
If you didn't know by now, My name is Aaliyah Dana Haughton. But, everyone refers to me as just Liyah. There isn't very much to know about me except that I am seventeen years old and more than ready to graduate from High School.

I started to dig in one of my pockets for my keys that I would need to need open the door with. When I finally found them, I opened the door and walk inside. Nobody was home or so I thought.

" Who are you talking about? " I asked facing him.
" Devanté. " He replied.
" That isn't my boyfriend. We are just really good friends, Did you even ask what he wanted when he called? " I carefully took my food out of the microwave trying not to burn myself.
" Aaliyah, you don't need to be talking to him at all. " Jadyn said.
" Since, when do you ever worry about who I talk to? " I rolled my eyes.
" I really don't want him to end up hurting you. You're still my little sister and I care about you very much. " He sighed.
But, we've been friends for years? Would Devanté really hurt me?
