Addicted (Lonzo Ball)

DANNI

Once Rain tells Lani and I that we have to move out, I keep on stareing at her in shock.

"I'm not even eighteen yet!" I exclaim my eyes getting watery.

"I-I'm not ready to move yet. I don't even have enough money saved up yet!" I say looking away from Rain.

"I'll give you some money, and you have some time. This is your warning, both of you need to start saving any money you can!" Rain replies.

"Rain, this is so unfair?" Lani rolls her eyes.

I can not believe this! We're getting kicked out! I think to myself.

"You know what- FINE...kick us out!" I yell at Rain.

I get up from the bed and I walk towards my room door.

"Dan-" Rain starts, I but her off.

"No, forget you!" I storm out of my bedroom.

I slam the door shut and I walk towards the sliding room door.

While I walk, I feel Rae, Gelo, Melo, and Lonzo looking at me.

She doesn't even care that I am not ready to move out. She's kicking us out with no reason, no explanation whatsoever! I think to myself. 

I don't notice that I'm crying until a tear hits my hand.

I quickly wipe my eyes and I unlock the sliding door walking out of it.

A few minutes later, I hear the sliding door open.

I turn to see LaMelo leaning on the door.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"I wanna be alone right now.." I sigh.

LaMelo sits next to me, ignoring my previous statement.

"Okay, you'll just be alone with me!" LaMelo says.

Even though I'm not looking at him, I know he is smiling at me.

I giggle a little bit before I stop.

"Rain kicked us out," I say. "I'm not even ready to move out, I don't have enough money saved up!"

I glance at LaMelo.

"Well, good thing you have a boyfriend who won't let you and my future sister in law sleep on the streets!" He winks.

"That's sweet, but I can't ask you to do that La-"

"GOOD THING YOU DIDN'T ASK, I OFFERED AND YOU'RE ACCEPTING IT!" LaMelo yells while getting up from and running inside of the house.

I smile to myself while shaking my head.
