Open Arms, SZA.

—sure, she could be a stubborn and rude person but she wasn’t a truly bad person. Jaila wouldn’t ever think of herself as a bad person.

not many people agreed. well, except for Ryder, her boyfriend. he didn’t think she was a bad person, infact, she was the best thing that could’ve happened to him.

not that he would ever say such a thing. he was very quiet and not the greatest with feelings. but still, his actions showed love.

Ryder and Jaila were on the rooftop of their apartment building, looking down at the city below them.

the air was cold and the lights illuminated the whole city, leaving it looking sparkly and bright.

they leaned against the railing in comfortable silence, looking at the sky and the city of New York.

this was a refresher for Jaila after working for hours. she sighed quietly before reaching into her pocket, taking out a cigarette.

just as she was about to light it, Ryder spoke. “your pregnant.” he reminded her, his eyes glued to the sky.

shit. she was and completely forgot. with a sigh of realization, she handed him the cigarette instead before looking at the sky.

“thanks for the reminder.” she spoke quietly, her forearms leaning against the railing.
