New Flame

Chapter 1

Aaliyah's P.O.V

I Woke Up With Burning Eyes & A Headache. I Looked At My Pillow Seeing My Tear Stains From Me Crying Late Last Night. I Sat Up In Bed & Put My Head In My Hands Only To Remove Them & Look At The Clock Say 8:45am Ugh I Hate This Job At Macy's So Much But Hey It Brings In The Paper So I Gotta Do What I Gotta Do Especially To Help Justice Pay The Bills I Mean He Is Being Very Nice To Let Me Stay With Him Till I Get On My Feet Again

*Flashback*

"Ugh I Fucking Hate You!" I Stepped Closer  To Him "Always Out With Other Bitches When I Thought I Was Your Main Girl Michael." I Turned His Face My Way So That He Could Face Me. "Like Damn Every Time I Turn Around I See You With Another Hoe! I Guess My Love & Shit Didn't Matter Huh! I Can't Even Stand To Look At Your Cheating Face!" I Walked Away From Him & Made My Way To The Staircase But Before I Went Upstairs I Turned To Look At Him One Last Time. "Get The Fuck Out Of My House I Don't Want You In My Life Anymore" I Spat Calmly Then I Turned To Go Upstairs.

"Sis Your Gonna Be Late For Work" My Brother Justice Said After He Knocked 3 Times On My Bedroom Door

"Alright I'll Be Right Down" I Said But My Voice Began To Crack.

"You Okay Sis" He Said Walking Into My Room "Why You Crying?" He Said & Thats When I Knew That He Could See The Redness In My Eyes & Tears Rolling Down My Cheeks.

"Bad Dream. I Barely Got Any Sleep Last Night" I Said Wiping My Eyes With My Pajama Shirt.

"Lemme Guess Michael Huh?" He Asked Sitting Next To Me On My Bed

"Yeah I Mean In The Beginning Things Were All Good But I Don't Know What Happened. Sometimes I Wonder What Did I Do So Wrong For Him To Treat Me Like Shit" I Began To Sob

"I Know Sis People Change" He Said Handing Me A Tissue As He Rubbed My Back. "But That's The Past You Gotta Let Things Go Sometimes" He Said Comforting Me

"Doesn't Make It Any Better Justice" I Said Sniffing

"I Know Sis But Sitting Up Here Crying Over Him Not Going To Make It Any Better Sis" He Said Handing Me Another Tissue & Taking The Used One

***

After Justice & I Finished Our Conversation & Stopped Crying I Got Up To Go Get Ready For Work. I Went Into The Bathroom & Turned On The Shower. I Waited To Check To See If The Water Was The Right Temperature. I Got Into The Shower & I Tensed Up As The Water Hit My Back.

I Only Took A 15 Minute Shower So I Didn't Stay In There Long. I Got Out & Went To My Room To Get Dressed. I Threw On My Macy's Uniform & Then I Put My Brownish Blondish Shoulder Length Hair Into A Messy Bun Then I Grabbed My ID & Headed Downstairs

"Okay I'm Ready Justice!" I Said Jogging Downstairs.

"Damn Took You Long Enough Thought I Was Gonna Have To Call Someone To Break The Door Down" He Chuckled & Handed Me My Lunch Bag.

"Oh Hush You Asshole" I Playfully Rolled My Eyes & Grabbed The Bag From Him. "Thanks For Fixing My Lunch"

"You're Welcome Sis" He Grabbed His Car Keys. "You Ready To Go?" He Asked Me

"Yeah" I Said

"A'ight Come On" He Said Then Opened The Door For Me To Walk Out First.

I Walked Out The House & Got Into The Car After Putting My Lunch Bag In The Back Seat. I Got In The Passenger Seat & Buckled My Seatbelt & Looked Out The Window Toward The House Wondering What Was Taking Him So Long. i Opened The Door Since The Car Wasn't On For Me To Roll Down The Window & I Began To Talk.
