Britney Issues | Zion Kuwonu

Chapter 24

*play song above*
i just pyo, you're welcomeee😛😛

"Mila!" Yasmin yelled.

I could hear the hurt in her voice.

I hugged my knees together and hid my head.

Letting the tears flow down my face.

The bed sunk next to me.

"Mila, what happened?!" Brandon asked so worried.

I ignored them and felt someone pull me up.

"We're gonna talk about this Mila. You have some explaining to do." Jessica said pulling me away from everyone.

I could hear Ari talking but I couldn't figure out what she's saying because of my sobs.

Jessica took me to the guest room.

Or you can say Zion's room. Before he started going out with Britney, we used to always hang out and sleep in each others houses.

That's how close we were.

But then everything changed.

All the memories started coming back.

I miss you Zion.

"Explain now. And we know what you're doing." She said so serious.

I wiped away the tears and calmed down a little.

Taking a deep breath I said.

"W-what are you talking about?"

She rolled her eyes.

"Cut the shit Mila. We know what you're tryna do. You pretended to forget about all of us and Zion. But we understand why you did it."

I sighed.

There's no use in tryna hide shit now.

"How did ya figure it out?" I asked looking away.

"Brandon. Ya have been best friends since first grade. He would know if you're lying or not." She said.

They know me so well.

There was a pause and silence filled the room until the door opened.

It was the crew.

"Oh Mila. I'm so sorry!" Yasmin said in sorrow.

She came to me and gave me a hug.

"I kinda explained everything to them. Even you're plan to Zion but they already figured that out." Ari said.

I was hugging Yasmin trying to calm down while they were explaining everything to Jessica.

After a few minutes, we all came together.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Yasmin asked hurt.

"Look, I'm sorry for not telling ya and pretending to forget ya. I just couldn't take the pain. I wanted to forget the memory of that night but, I failed. I was supposed to tell all of ya later but I guess you already figured it out.." I apologized.

"Mila, we understand. We would've done the same thing but you've gotten us hurt and worried. Next time, please tell us and we'll help you through all of it."

I nodded.

"Again, I'm really sorry guys."

I looked away in shame.

I felt someone hug me.

Turning around, I saw that it was Brandon.

"He must've hurt you really badly for you to do this." He whispered to me.

"Yeah, he did..."

His hugs always seemed to make me feel better.

"I'm kinda alright now. Thank you for being here for me guys."

They all nodded.

"We're your best friends Mila." Ari said. "We're here for you no matter what."

I smiled at that statement.

"But what I don't understand is, why did you run away from Zion? You knew that he was gonna apologize?" Edwin said.

I frowned.

Yasmin slapped him in he back of the head.

"Ouch!"

"Thank you Yasmin." I smiled at her and continued.

"But all of ya deserve a proper explanation. On some deadass shit, I wasn't ready to face Zion. He really hurt me. And I knew that I would forgive him right away. He doesn't deserve to be forgiven yet. He has no idea how much it hurts."

A tear slipped out.

Jessica rubbed my back.

I took in a deep breath and continued.

"And who knows if he's gonna do this again. Britney really changed him. I don't think I remember how Zion was like before all this happened. And the worst part is..."

I got up and looked at all of them.

My back facing the door.

"I don't think he's the Zion I fell in love with all these years..."

I heard a gasp behind me.

Everyone's eyes widen.

I turned around and gasped.

Zion was right outside the door.

"Y-you're in love with me?" He stuttered.

My jaw dropped.

How long has he been standing there?

I closed my eyes and turned away from him.

"Go away Zion." I said in a low cracking voice.

I was holding back the tears.

I felt arms around my waist.

"I SAID GO AWAY ZION!" I yelled and got out of his arms.

Running downstairs, I got my jacket and headed somewhere.

I knew exactly where.

The tree house.
