Lamelo POV

Even though the week was fun I was finally back to one of the best feelings. On the court practicing my 3's and layups but the best part was the person catching my rebounds... Chanel

Most girls would never wanna spend a whole day just in a gym. But she did and the only girl whoever did that for me was my mom. But when her stroke happened Chanel really helped me. And even my mom. It always felt good for her to watch me because she knew basketball because I taught her. So she would always correct me. But this time was different.

I knew she was opening fan letters which always made her happy so it confused me.

"I'm going to go get some water I'll be back" she said I went over to where she was sitting to see opened notes and one crumbled up one

"I wanna be just like you. I love you more than anyone to. Remember when we met in Chicago and you said if I write you you would write back. And you did! I can relate to you what you say in songs so that's why I always put em on. Man I even got your name three times so I can stare at it when I rest. My girlfriend jealous cuz I tell her about you 24/7. But she doesn't know you like I do no one does. You gotta write me man I'll be your biggest fan you'll ever lose.

P.s we should've together too"

I read in my hand this is what she's upset about it wasn't even that big of a deal.

Chanel POV

I wiped of my face from the water on my face. I was so nervous about my album it almost made me sick. I wanted to tell Lamelo but at the same time I didn't want him to lose focus so I just acted like nothing was wrong.

I looked at my phone to se a unknown number

"Umm Chanel ?"A familiar but hard to recognize voice came through the phone

"Who is this?"

"Lani" I stared at my phone in disbelief one of my best friends was on the phone. I knew I should've hung up but when ever I'm with her that's when I don't think. This one person knows more things about me than anyone. When I went to juvenile for the first time she was right by my side.

"Lani?" I repeated after her

"Girl I'm not finna keep on saying my name" she said making me laugh

"We haven't talked in so longgg"

"I knowww it's been a minute" she said happily but sighed

"I need your help" she said as I just listened

"Can you come back home and I know you wanna say no but this is serious"she wined

"What is it"

"Sooo you know my birthday is coming up in a few days and I might've told this boy that I liked that you would show up and maybe told him he could be featured on the album" she said knowing her idea was terrible

"Lani why would you do this" I said irritated

"Here me out. All you gotta do is just thug it out. Anddd I could spend my birthday weekend with my bestie"

"Lani I'll come home but I swear if you get me in trouble you won't ever see my face again"

"Girl you know we gon grow old together" she said

"Get of my phone" I said turning around

to see Lamelo watching me like this emoji🕴🏼

"Are you seriously going back" he said showing no emotion

"I have too" I said coming closer to him and he backed away

"Everytime I think you've grown you always do something like this" I know I was wrong for leaving him again but what the fuck was that supposed to mean

"What do you mean by that" I said trying to sound like my brother friend Kai but being deadass

"You know what you do you" he said nonchalantly

"Are you seriously upset at me" I said following him into the gym

"I'm not I just rather practice for Australia then waste time with you"

I looked at him like he was crazy

"So you're saying that I'm not important basically" I said as he started playing basketball while I'm tryna have a conversation with him

"Why do you wanna fight for if I'm not saying anything even like that"

I stared at him for a second and sat back in the bleachers. And put my laptop in my backpack and all my papers away.

"We're you going?"Lamelo questioned me

"Home I need to pack" I said putting my phone away

"Oh I guess you're so excited to go home"he said annoyed

"No I have to pack for school I can tell you forgot" I snapped back

"When are you leaving" he asked coming over

"In three weeks" I said low as he sat next

"Oh I leave in two" he says staring at me giving a slight laugh but I looked everywhere but his eyes

"I don't think it's funny"

"It's not but it's just like the past is repeating itself"

"Yeah I guess so" I said quietly

"You don't have to be sad C. At least as soon this is over it will be 2020 before you know it and they'll enter me in the draft and then you'll be almost in your second year of college"
