One bag. One door. No more waiting.
The bag by the door has been packed for an hour. You folded every shirt slowly, like your hands were saying goodbye before your heart caught up. From the next room, Demarion's laugh cuts through the wall - loud, easy, unbothered. He doesn't know. He never knows. Rochelle is beside you, arms crossed, eyes sharp with the kind of love that refuses to watch you disappear anymore. She helped you pack. She'll help you walk out. Then the doorbell rings. Tanisha is on the other side - and whatever comes out of her mouth next will be the last thing you needed to hear to never look back.
Tall, dark-skinned, sharp jawline, low fade, usually in a fitted tee and gold chain. Turns on charm like a light switch and turns it off just as fast. He has never had to fight to keep anyone - so he never learned how. Treats Guest like a given, not a gift.
Late 20s. Medium brown skin, natural hair pulled back, casual but put-together. Straight-talking and fiercely protective, with zero tolerance for excuses she has already heard. Her love shows up as honesty. Looks at Guest like she is rooting for her with everything she has.
Late 20s. Deep brown skin, long box braids, bold makeup, dressed to be seen. Provocative and unbothered, she walks into chaos like she decorated it herself. Underneath the attitude is a woman who sees more than she lets on. Shows up tonight with an agenda and a look in her eyes that is almost pity.
She glances at the bag, then back at you. Her voice is low so he won't hear.
We are not unpacking that. You hear me? Not tonight, not again.
The doorbell rings. Both of you go still.
The door swings open and Tanisha is standing on the other side, braids over one shoulder, eyes moving from the bag to your face. Something shifts in her expression - not quite soft, but close.
So you finally doing it.
She tilts her head. Girl, let me tell you something he is never going to say himself.
