*plays Heartless by The Weeknd*

"I don't know Ti, I feel like since y'all aren't together you technically can't be mad at him" Kendall was saying to me while my eyes were still glued to my cellphone screen.

I locked my phone and put it down "I can't watch that video anymore" I said.

My phone kept vibrating from text messages and calls from him. "Listen to what he has to say" Skylar said while was passing the blunt back to Kendall.

We were hotboxing in Skylar's red BMW. "This just blew my high something terrible" I said while wiping the tears off my face.

"But aren't you doing the same thing with Anthony?" Kendall asked "I haven't kissed him or touched on him like that" I said to her. "Calm down" Skylar touched my leg reminding me that I was getting too heated.

"I agree with Skylar , listen to what he has to say Tiara" Kendall said. "And don't let this blow your high, we're smoking right now to help keep you relaxed about everything that's been happening to you. First Keenan and now this .. I honestly wasn't expecting this from Korey, that's why I'm so on you about listening to what he has to say" Skylar explained herself.

I unlocked my phone and read all the messages Korey has been sending me since this evening.

3:00pm Korey : I swear it wasn't like that Ti

3:02pm Korey : Ti, you know ignoring me isn't going to stop me from calling you none stop.

3:05pm Korey : Ti, quit being childish and listen to me.

3:10pm Korey : baby I'm sorry please.

3:15pm Korey : it meant literally nothing to me.

I turned my phone off for the rest of the day after he sent those messages. I screen recorded the video before he could delete it also.

It was now 8:00pm and all the messages and missed phone calls from Korey were coming in.

My phone started to ring again and it was him. I wiped my eyes and answered "hello?" I said "tiara ... please just hear me out" he said "Korey .." I started but he stopped me "no, you've been ignoring me all damn day. You're going to listen to me right now" yeah he's mad. "Okay" I said.

"I'm sorry" he said "about what you did ? Or the fact that you got caught?" I asked him "are you really asking me that right now Ti" he said "answer it!" I said to him

"listen , we were drunk and I mean really drunk Ti, the guys and I had won today's football game which is getting us into the championship in our division. We threw a party at one of the players houses shït just got crazy. You know I would not have done any of that dumb crap sober ! Let alone post it knowing you were going to see it" he explained to me. "It was a completely drunken mistake" he said.

"You're single Korey , you can do whatever you please" I said him, "nah don't pull that line with me because you know I love you and you know I wouldn't intentionally hurt you like that Ti" he sighed.

I cried at the sound of his voice telling me he loves me "please stop crying. I'm sorry okay I didn't mean to hurt you" he said over the phone.

I hung up the phone and just started balling my eyes out.

The video consisted of a bunch of people having fun , celebrating and drinking. Korey posted him and the girl on his close friends page. More like she was posting him but still. She was recording them kissing and touching on one another and then an hour later she posted a picture of them in some bed butt naked and under covers.

"I'm so sorry Ti" Skylar said "I want my mom" I sniffled. I got out of the car and started walking towards the entrance of the building, Skylar and Kendall were calling after me but I ignored them.

I dialed my mom and it only rang once for her to answer "mom..." I couldn't even get it all out "something told me there was something wrong, talk to me baby" she said.

"First I lose Keenan to that bïtch Alexis , and now Korey was all on some chick last night at a party. I'm so lost and I don't know what to do anymore mom. The two most important people to me. Have done nothing but hurt and betray me these last couple of weeks. I feel so empty, I feel so stupid. I wanna come home. I don't wanna have to wake up everyday and see Keenan with her & I don't wanna scroll around on instagram seeing all these girls on Korey" I cried to her.

"I'm gonna let you let these tears out right now and then I will say what I have to say, so let me know when you're ready" when my mother says things like that I know for a fact she's about to say something serious and real. She's about to air me out.

"I understand you are hurt and Tiara you have every right to be. I am also disappointed in those two boys because I love them like they were my own and seeing how they hurt my baby is of course hurting me. But you will not let this stop you from getting your education, life gets hard you go through things and you lose people but that does not mean you get to pack your things up and run away because what the hell is that going to solve huh?" She asked me.

"Nothing". I answered. "Exactly, In life you're going to lose people who you thought were gonna be here forever... you thought your father was my first love? Hell no. It took a couple tries until I finally found my one. And I found him my senior year of college when things were basically over and life was about to start for me. God makes things happen for a reason and you will not question why he has made Korey go one way and Keenan go another, do you understand?" She said.

"Yes" I answered "now, you will wipe your tears and go back to being the strong young, beautiful and intelligent black woman I know my daughter to be, you've worked too hard to let these boys have a one up on you, now what I will say is I know both of them and I know them both very well. They wouldn't intentionally hurt you .. I've seen the way they both look at you, either talk to them and say what you have to say or keep your distance. At the end of the day the choice is yours and you know you have nothing but my support alright ? I love you and I miss you my darling" my mother spoke to me.

After hearing her talk I was finally able to breathe again "I love you too mommy" I said and then we got off the phone.

I made my way back to my room, luckily Lani wasn't in here so I wouldn't have to answer any questions.

I just want to go to sleep and let all this pain be gone in the morning.  I don't understand why things keep happening but God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers. None of this would have happened if he didn't believe that I couldn't handle this.

Crying puts me right to sleep so I knew I'd be knocked in no time.

* next day *

I woke up to my phone vibrating like crazy, it was missed calls from Lani. I instantly called her back "hello?" She answered.

"Hey yeah, there's some boy down here saying he needs to see you and you know the RA's don't just let anyone in and I didn't wanna sign him in until I knew for sure he wasn't some lunatic" I chuckled at her confusion but then froze when I processed everything she said.

I jumped out of bed and threw on some sweatpants and my ugg boots and went flying down the hallways and down stairs to the lobby. Once I got to the door I slowed down because I didn't know what to expect behind that door.

I inhaled and then exhaled deeply. I opened the door and saw Lani right away, my eyes followed hers and landed right on him.

My eyes watered "Korey" I breathed, he walked over to me and engulfed me in a hug. "Hey, is everything okay?" I heard Kendall's voice ask "I think so" Lani answered.

"Why's he here?" I knew that was Keenan. "Who is it?" Anthony asked "her ex boyfriend Korey" Keenan answered.

Korey let go of me and looked over at Keenan, he was about to walk over to him and I could feel how tense he got so I stopped him before he could go any further. "Let's go to my room" I said still looking down.

"Bruh Detroit got some nice looking men" Cassandra said, Kendall shook her head. I grabbed Korey's hand and took him up to my room.
