Chapter 7: The Past Is Now Present

The ride to school was obviously a good one cause I was with Manny!! I just loved to look at him, he was so beautiful to me. I really didn't want to think about Reed texting me the night before and I honestly didn't want to hear from him, so that morning I changed my damn number, how you dewin'!!? But another burning question in my mind was, why did Max give him my number??


“Manny, can I tell you something?” I look at him.
“Just as long as it's not bad, I mean your not about to tell me you don't want to be together are you?”
“Hell no, don't even let that thought cross your mind anymore, you got me” I assure him.


“Ok then, wassup shawty?” He asked.
“My ex boyfriend texted me last night.”


The look on his face said it all, he look hurt but at the same time confused.


“What?? Why?? How?? Willie, are you--”
“Stop Manny. Max gave him my number, I really don't know why. I really don't want him back in my life. Another thing is I don't want you getting upset about it.”


“Will I know you're with me right now but, he's your ex and I KNOW he has apart of you and I don't want that coming in between us.” He said to me.
“I'll be honest with you, he does but he can't give me what you already have, and we haven't been together long Manny.”


We talked the rest of it out and Manny was very understanding. School that day was the usual, after my second class I met up with Manny so he could take me back home. That's when I seen Ebony, but no Max.


“Willie!!” she said with excitement.
“Hey hey..”
“Well I ain't gotta ask what happened to you last night.” She said as she looked at Manny walkin' up behind me.
“I don't kiss and tell so don't ask.” I laughed. Manny smiled.


“Have you seen Max at all??” I asked.
“Well she should be getting out of class in the next 15 minutes. Last time I saw her was last night. She told me she had to make a trip but she would be at school today. Why?”


“Your girl gave Reed my fuckin' cell phone number!”
“Oh..” Ebony said with a look on her face. I knew she was havin' some type of memory.


“What Ebony, I know that look.”
“Look Will, it's not my place to tell you it.” She pleaded
“Tell me what?? What happened to Max?” I started shooting questions at her.


“Bae, I gotta go to the bathroom. I'll be back.” Manny told me.
“Ok, I'll be out here waiting for Max.”


Manny went to the bathroom and Ebony and I sat down in the school lounge. I crossed my arms and looked at Ebony. I wasn't mad at her, just a lil agitated. I can't stand not knowin' something that I should and Ebony made it seem like something big.


“You're not mad at me are you?” she asked.
“Nope”
“I'm sorry Will it's just that I can't be the one that tells you.”
“Tell me what??!?!”


Then it happened, I seen Max walkin' out of her classroom, but she wasn't alone. Right behind her was Reed! I had the most disgusted look on my face I could ever have had. Max spotted me and made her way over to the table.


“Ebony I gotta go.” I stated.
“I don't blame you.”


I got up to turn and leave and Max met me face to face. I can't say I was happy to see her cause, that would be a fat ass lie!


“Why you lookin' like that Will?” She questioned.
“If you have to ask me that Max then you are extremely clueless.” I told her.


“Damn Will you look good baby.” Reed made himself known.
“Yeah--”
“He looks damn good!” Manny said grabbin' me by the waist.


“Ok what's with all the tension?” Max asked.
“Bitch is you stupid!?!” I fired at her.
“What!?”
“What would make you think that you could give him my number?”


“I can be very convincing.” Reed said tryin' to look sexy.
“Shut the fuck up Reed.”
“Reed?” Manny asked.
“Yeah, Wills first love.” Reed said boasting. It made Manny a lil frustrated. I rolled my eyes.


“I could've sworn I ask you to shut the fuck up man.” I said to Reed.
“Why, what are you gonna do Willie?”


“It's not what he's gonna do that you have to worry about, and I put that on everything.” Manny said pullin' me behind him.
“Fuck you nigga, you ain't shit. I bet you can't fuck Will like I can.” Reed said with a smile.


I couldn't do it. I jumped over Manny and hit Reed dead in his jaw knockin' him on his ass.


“Damn Will I guess you do have some fight in you!”
“You have no clue you lame fuck!”


Reed got up and wiped the blood off of his mouth. He straightened himself up and smiled.


“I love you too much to hit you back Will.”
“Love made you hit me and now it's stopping you? You ain't worth shit!” I said as I turned around and looked at Max. She seemed surprised, I really don't know why.


“I gotta ask you Max, why did you give him my number in the first place. You knew some shit like this would happen if I saw him!”


The whole room seemed to freeze when Max fixed her mouth to answer.
