We Cant Keep Things

Aaliyah POV

Before we could go to the party, we had to go to school. I didn't want to go, but Alex said that I had to. I didn't want to get into another argument, so I left it alone. Today I wearied A blue crop top and light blue jeans. Alex wanted to fuck, but I said no because he told me that I had to go to school.

When we got to the school, all my friends came to me to see if I was okay.

"Yes guys. I'm fine. Let's get to class so we won't be late." I say walking to my locker.

Opening my locker door, I see Leo walking up to me. "Hey Leo. Sorry that I couldn't go to the dance with you." I speak. "It's fine. The only thing that matters is that you're fine." he said. "Yeah. We can spend time together some day if you want." I say locking my locker. "That will be nice." he said as I walk to class and Leo walks off somewhere.

"Aaliyah. Are you okay?" Nia asks hugging me. "Yeah. I'm fine." I say hugging her back.

As she is telling me that dance has a game this weekend, Alex is texting me.

ALEX: I don't like you talking to Leo

ME: We're just friends. You're mine.

ALEX: I'm going to get up and fuck you

ME: You wouldn't

ALEX: Watch me

I hear him get up, but before he come over to me, Ms. Vance ask to talk to him. He walks outside and I can see that she is flirting with him. She's wearing A tight shirt that makes her boobs pop out.

When he comes back, he sits at his desk, so I text him.

ME: I don't like you talking to her

ALEX: why not baby girl

ME: because she wants to get in your pants

ALEX: baby

ME: YOU KNOW WHAT GO FUCK HER!!

I put my phone on the desk and look away from Alex. While he keeps texting me, People starts walking in.

"Morning, Mr. Ross." Leo said siting behind me. "Yo Aaliyah, Leo likes you. You two should date." John said walking in. "She's with someone." Nia said. "Really? Who?" Ava asks. "Someone." I speak. "Okay. I'm guessing." Nia said. "Okay.�� I speak. "Stephen Jones." she said. "Who you know?" I lie. "OMG. And there's even a pic on Instagram. #SOCUTE." Ava said.

"Let's start class." Alex said.

Someone doesn't like what's she's hearing.

Walking into Alex's house, I just lay on the bed until I hear knocking. Going downstairs, is see that its John, Leo, and Shawn. Alex's friends.

"Is Alex here?" John asks. "No. He's still at the school." I say letting them in. "So, did he tell you?" Leo asks. "Tell me what?" I ask. "Nothing." Shawn said. "Come on man. She needs to know." John said. "Alex will tell her." Shawn said. "Yeah. When she's dead like the last one." Leo said. "What are you talking about?" I ask. "Nothing. We're leaving." Shawn said as Alex walks in.

"What? Why is everyone looking at me?" he asks. "You didn't tell her." John said. "I...um...was waiting." he said. "Waiting till they found about her?" Shawn asks. "No." he said. "Then tell her. She has every right to know." Leo said as they all leave.

What do I need to know? Who was the last one? Why can't Alex let me?

"Alex?" I ask. "I'm a mafia leader. I had an assignment to do and it was about you. My enemies want to find you and kill you or worst. I did some research where you lived, your school, everything about you." he said. "Why couldn't you say anything?" I ask. "I didn't want to say anything." he said. "Why?" I ask. "Because I felled in love with you! And a wasn't supposed to." he said. "So what? Loving me was a mistake? Fucking me was a mistake? Saving me was a mistake?" I ask crying. "No. All of it wasn't a mistake. You have to know that." he said reaching out.

"What did Leo mean when he said the last one?" I ask. "I was working with he's sister and something happened." he said. "If we're going to keep things from each other, then I can't be with you." I speak. "I understand. I won't do it again." he said holding my face. "It better not." I say kissing him.

"Let's go to the party."
