Ruby Martinez
I could barely even think straight. Tiana had told me she loved me. I don't see why she would hang up after saying it. I didn't even no if I loved her back. But this was special. It meant that we were basically on the same page. I almost believed what Jamal said, about her just using me until Cesar wanted her again.
But this, this gives me hope. Jamal just stared blankly at me. "You do realize she just say that to get a rise out of you." He squinted. I rolled my eyes. "No she didn't. She actually does loves me, and a part of me loves her too." I shrugged.
Jamal shook his head as he stood up. "I don't even know why I followed your ass up and came here." He mumbled to himsef. He looked at me. "This is gettin way out of hand. You need to wake up before it's too late." He glared.
"There's literally nothing bad going on here, you just want a reason not to like Tiana! Just like you did Olivia!" I didnt want to say that, but he needed to hear it. He always needed a reason to hate anyone who could compete with Monse.
They all needed a wakeup call. "This protecting Monse shit needs to end! Its not our fault she got pregnant at 14! I mean- yeah she's our friend but do we really need to protect her this much?" I asked. Jamal closed his eyes. A small laugh escaped from his lip. "Fuck you."
What? I stepped back a little. He came closer to me though. "No honestly, it's really fuck you!" He yelled. "Monse has nothing to do with me not liking Tiana. It's the fake that you know she's using you and only choose not to see that shit is because you crave the touch of some girl who doesn't give two fucks about you or your life!" He lectured.
I glared, "You have no idea what you're even talking about." He titled his head. "Ruben we all know that she's just wants to use you." He said. I don't understand why he had to be so negative. Even if she was using me, which she's not, it has nothing to do with Jamal or anyone.
"Tiana loves me, she said it herself." I frowned. If she didn't love me then she would have never said it. You don't say shit like that unless you mean it. I tried to call and text her over and over. But I guess it didn't matter to her. Or maybe my girl was just too embarrassed.
Either way she meant every word. I smiled to myself, just thinking about her makes my heart warm. I don't care what anyone has to say. What we have is love. The only reasom people think that it's not is because they're so use to seeing these damaged relationships all the time.
Now they see a real one and they can't handle it. And that's okay. Soon though, soon they'll all see. "Ruby, let's just be realistic." Jamal frowned. I shook my head. "No I'm done being your way of realistic. You guys just don't want me to be happy!" I yelled. Its the truth.
Everytime I find someone who I think will be good for me, Jamal and Monse always put their opinions in it. And I always took their sides.
Jamal frowned, "I don't want you to get your little virgin heart broken over some girl who is going to leave you in a month!" He was starting to piss me off. "Per usual, you're overreacting." I said.
I opened my room door. "You can leave if you're going to be negative." I said.
"You'll see Ruby. And I'll be right there to laugh in your face." He shrugged. I nodded as he walked out the door. When I went to close it, a hand held it open.
Olivia was standing there. She had her arms folded. I frowned, "What Olivia?" Now wasn't the time. "Maybe you need to listen to Jamal. About Tiana?" She suggested. I rolled my eyes. "You dont even know her enough to speak about her." I said. She glared, "Yeah I do."
"And I know that she's just using to get my man's attention. Even though you don't equal Cesar's jealousy." She said. I glared at her. She shook her head. "I- what I'm saying is, your little- fling isn't going to last much longer." She said.
I frowned, "So you think she'll get Cesar back?"
Olivia scoffed, "Ruben please...I'm his soul mate. No one can have him but me."
I nodded my head. "See, you're just saying all that bad shit about her because Cesar cheated on you with her. Now you made this false story in a attempt to take away her true love." I said. It all made sense. Olivia just wanted to be relevant.
"I don't need this shit to be relevant. I'm always relevant. And why would I be worried about that? Cesar made a human mistake, learn something." She rolled her eyes. I glared, "A human mistake is forgetting to turn off the stove! Cesar cheated on you! Stop making excuses."
Olivia shrugged, "We see things way differently. But continue to get used, I will be working to get my novio back." She made sure to slam the door when she left. Whatever.
