Ch.1 The Break Up

9:20pm

Mitch

"JA'ZELL HURRY UP GIRL, DAMN WE ABOUT TO BE LATE 'N' SHIT." I yelled out looking impatiently at my watch, then fixed my Polo shirt then checking to see if my hair was sticking up. Hell, we were only going to the movie nothing special. Besides, it's not like I was staying together with that hoe after this anyways. I heard shuffling around upstairs, she showed up looking like the thot that she was; had the nerve to roll her eyes, slowly walked down the steps.

I wanted to drag her ass down the step but refrained myself from doing so immensely

"Nigga don't be rushing me, you act like we going somewhere important." Ja'Zell's annoying ass voice rang through ears, and I want to scream run up the last three steps that she was slowly descending from, and throttle her then and there, but instead I look at my watch again to see we only got like fifteen minutes until the movie was going to start, and I damn sure was not trying to wait hours and some minutes just to watch a movie with her.

I blew out a breath of air and glared at the girl who finally gets down the damn steps. She tried to kiss me when she reached me, but I turn around and just walked out the front door. I hear her mumbling something when I slammed the door and got into my baby Jessie a classic 1965 blue colored mustang every time I turned on the engine it purred like a cat that was getting scratched behind its ears. I loved this car more than I love sex... I'm lying but you get my point, right?

Anyways Ja'Zell came out of her apartment, I started my car and for a second I thought if I'd leave and just go to the movies by my damn self would she get the hint that I didn't want be with her? But thought against I'm not that much of horrible person.

When she got in she didn't say anything to me, so I shrugged turned on the car radio and drove off, 'Cut her off' a slight smile came on my face, and I couldn't resist myself but to rap the beginning.

"It ain't nothing to cut that bitch off

It ain't nothing to cut that bitch off

so what you saying, hoe?

You know I'm the man, hoe?

Nothing but a bird, I'mma leave you where you stand, hoe

Heard you got a man, hoe

Hope he understands, though

You ain't nothing but a creeper, baby I'm just saying though

Saying, though

It ain't nothing to cut that bitch off

It ain't nothing to cut that bitch of-"

I was cut off by Ja'Zell hitting me in my arm, I about damn near forget that I was in a car; and was about to kill the both of us but quickly got control of my car, and my temper, next thing I know she was going off. But all I can hear is.

"... What... The fuck do ... Mean Mitch..." Pause before I let her finish whatever she was saying I had pulled over by a nearby McDonalds.

Alright, un-pause.

"............... I'm so done with yo stupid ass, Mitch." As Ja'zell said that a smile brought itself on my face and I gave off a look that said 'Oh really'

I let the look that was resident on my face come out of my mouth.

"Oh really, well then baby, you can just get the fuck up out my damn car. Walk yo boujie ass all the way home," I said she went to speak I interrupted her" hold up not finished matter fact you can lose my number, forget where I live. You can keep the apartment I helped you get; please you doing me a favor get the fuck up out my car. I hope to see you never in this lifetime, or the next."

Ja'Zell stared at me for a second to register if she heard me right, then as if she realized what was going on, tears started coming to her eyes, then all of sudden she slapped me, it's as if time stopped and all of a sudden I could see red. I was glad this MacDonalds had little to no business at the moment cause now I was about to fuck her up.

"I FUCKING CAN'T BELIEVE YOU GONE BRE-"I interrupt her by pulling on her fake ass tracks and bang her head in the dashboard, I lost my temper at this point.

"GET THE FUCK UP OUT MY MOTHERFUCKING CAR, AND I'M NOT GONE TELL YOU AGAIN," I yelled it wasn't normal for me to snap so quickly, but this girl rubbed my fucking soul the wrong way. She looked at me with tears now fallen from her eyes, but she complied with my demand and got the fuck up my car as soon as she got out my car. I drove off as a matter of fact I push the bitch out my car and drove off.

When I got to the next stop light I felt my phone vibrate I took look at it to see my best friend was texting me. I look up to see the light was still red so I open text to see what it said.

Jojo: How did it go with boujie bitch?

Me: We over bro

With that, I look just in time to see the red light turn green revved my car then drove off feeling the need for me to shift the gears I shift, and felt it speed up, and for the first time in 4 months I enjoyed my ride and the music. For the first time, I felt myself smile, I turned my music up; just enjoyed my ride home.

30 Minutes Later

I arrived back at my house to see my Khadijah, Jordan's girl my roommate and best friend standing outside I parked my car and got out to see why Khadijah was here. I got out of my car and walked over to her and she embraced me in the biggest hug she ever gave me.

"Yass bitch you finally got rid of that ungrateful, stuck up, bougie bitch I'm so proud of you. Mitchie I'm so proud of you." She said then I heard her sniff, I chuckle a little and gently push her off of me. I see she had one tear rolling down her face. I smile and wipe it off her face.

"Isn't boujie, and stuck up the same thing girl and what are you doing here I thought you were with Jordan on y'all date or whateva," I said earning a glare from her she waved me off ignoring everything I just said motioned for me to open the door "you gonna answer my question or nah."

"You gonna unlock the damn door or nah?" Khadijah asked me nudging me to open the door, again I find myself rolling my eyes, But I unlock the door and open it for her to push pass me, and walk in.

"You know if Jojo finds us in the house together alone, she gone think we fucking right? And I'm not trying to lose my best friend over some chick." I said in a playful, but yet serious tone, in the midst of taking off her shoes; looked at me bemused and smirking.

She raised one her thick eyebrow, and I couldn't help but think Jordan was one lucky mothafucka, because that look had me feeling a little too happy.

"Mitch dismiss yo 'self." She said then continued to take off her other shoe again.

"Deuces Mitch." I said grinning crookedly and wave my hand to myself. Khadijah looked up at me and rolled her eyes. But there was a hint of a smile on her lips. She walks more into the house, and I quickly take off my shoes and turn on the lights because it was dark.

When I turn on the light I was surprised literally.

"CONGRATULATIONS NIGGA, YOU FREE." Everyone my friends yelled even my two sisters and brother, hell even my momma was here too. I could help but laugh out loudly, and smile. I looked to my right to see Khadijah all over Jordan smiling at her while Jordan was grinning at me.

I looked at everybody confused, my brother came up to me quick hug, and as if reading my mind he answers the question that was I thinking.

"Four fucking months." Was all he said.

I tilt my head back and laughed again then look at everybody.

"Y'all all some fools for this one... But shit I ain't gone hold y'all up at all, let's a party." When I said that everybody cheered or scream as I was walking more to the house everybody was patting my back.

Congratulating me from being free of Ja'Zell.

That whole night I had a ball, but in the pit my stomach, I felt like something was wrong, and in my heart, I felt like someone was missing.
