"Okay college life sounds fun" Lamelo voice blasted into my phone

"Yeah it's cool or whatever" I said then I started to laugh thinking about classes earlier

"What's funny"

"I was just thinking about class anyways I saw your highlights" I said

"Oh yeah that game was mad fun"

"You know what's crazy"he asked excitedly

"What"

"I think I'm getting taller" he said confidently

"At this point every time you leave you come back taller than you ever were"

"I miss you" Lamelo said out of nowhere which he never really admitted when we're going through long distance

"I miss you too melo" I pouted and honestly felt kinda sad

"I shoulda never said nothing now look at you" Lamelo joked around trying to make me feel better

"Yeah I gotta pretty big test tomorrow I should study I'll call you later" I said

lying and just saying anything to get off the phone

"Oh okay I guess I gotta go to I have a game in the morning I love you"He said with no tone

"I love you too" I said hanging up and tried to hold back unnecessary tears but I couldn't. It never was this hard being away from him but I obviously felt differently this time around.

The next day rolled around and saw myself on FaceTime with lamelo again even though I still felt kinda sad about this whole situation. He was so excited about this game and it honestly made me happy for him.

"But I gotta go and handle some business on this court and you better get watch it"he said

"Of course I am just start the game of with lots of assists because last game you had eight turnovers to soon so just focus on that" I said while watching a smile appear on his face

"I love that you know basketball anyways I'll call you back after the game" he said happily

"Okay I love you"I responded

"I love you too shawty" he said then bursting out laughing at his own words

I logged on to my laptop and eventually the game started. At first Lamelo was on the court but not getting a lot of play time with the ball but when he did he sure wasn't gonna

Stop. Getting consistent three's but also a lot of great passing. I was really proud because it seems like every game he improves. Then Lamelo got a ball that was passed by a teammate then made his way down the court with heavy defense on him as he made his way down the court as he attempted a layup that made it in. But I watched how his head went down because the quarter was over but seeing another play walk up to him and slap his head.

"What the hell" I said hella confused watching that but seeing Lamelo slap the guy's face my mouth dropped seeing them about to fight. It didn't get to physically because all of the teammates split it up especially the refs and Gelo.

I watched as lamelo sat down on the bench. And hearing them say how he couldn't play really upset me because of how well he was playing before this jealous person slapped him.

I saw his head go down and I felt so bad for him. I also saw how mad Lavar looked to and it scared me and I wasn't even there.

Then I got a call

"You saw it huh" Lamelo's unpleasant voice came through my phone while I had it to my ear turning it up since he talked so low

"Yeah I'm so sorry that happened baby" I said feeling sorrow for his situation

"You don't got to it was my fault I should've ignored it but all these teams just can't stand us and I'm okay with that but don't touch me like that's not cool" he said expressing frustration

"I know if I was there I wouldn't leave that parking lot until I saw him" I said seriously as a small chuckle came from him

"Yeah but they got me in the locker room now I'm just waiting I know my dad is gonna be heated"

"I know you're better than me I would've left"

"I should but I deserve it so I'll call you tonight okay" he said

"Okay I love you don't worry it's gonna be okay"

"I know love you too" he said as I heard him sigh and hang up

Lamelo Pov

Soon I heard the door open and put my phone away I watched as cameras and teammates walked in and lastly my dad looking furious.

After he went on into about how I messed up and were the reason we lost of course I felt guilt running through my body especially when he started yelling at my teammates but then ended it saying

"But I don't blame this loss on y'all I blame it on that one right there" he said pointing at me

Eventually everything was over and I just listened to music the whole way back home Chanel told me not to check my socials but I did and they straight bashed me ignoring the fact how he touched me first.
