It's been a few days since the party and everyone keeps asking if I'm with Jah, like together. I can't really explain to them what exactly happened.

The only person I wanted was Stokeley and he wasn't talking to me. Gen was going to his house more often so it isn't like I could just go over there.

I pull out my phone and text Stokeley.

billie

can we please talk about this?

stokeley

Billie, there is nothing to talk about.

billie

stokeley. please.

stokeley

Not now billie.

billie

then when stokeley? you won't let me explain anything! all you're doing is jumping to conclusions!

stokeley

Come over in 5.

billie

thank you.

I throw on my converse and put my hair up, then head out the door and I knock. Stokeley comes to the door. "Hey" he says avoiding looking at me.

He opens the door so I can come in. "So um go ahead, explain what you wanted to." he crosses his arms.

"Stokeley..Jah and I aren't together, we never were together." I say feeling that pressure being lifted off my chest. "Some guy, Tyler. He tried to get me to go upstairs with him."

"Jah came and saved me because I told Tyler no." I explain. "I tried to tell you but you stormed off." I frown.

"So you guys were pretending?" he asks and finally looks at me.

"Just pretending Stokeley, I never wanted to hurt you, or anything like that. But what I wanna know is why you get jealous by the thought of me having someone." I look him.

"Bil, it's because I wan-" he hesitates, and restarts, "Because you and Jah are my bestfriends and it would've just been weird." he shrugs knowing he covered well.

"So we are okay?" I look at him. He pulls me into a much needed hug.

"We are fine Bil" he says and then pulls away, "Oh! I wrote a song, you wanna stick around to hear it? I need an opinion."
