My heart was beating outta my chest as I rush to Alya condo. All my life nothing has ever pumped fear in my heart but the sound of Ayla voice instantly put fear in my heart.
"Ayla you still there shorty" I asked looking at my phone then back at the road.
"Y-yeah" she said so low that I might've missed it if I wasn't listening. "I'm pulling up now" I said and parked the car and turning it off. I ran into the building going to the stairs instead of the elevator.
I get to her door and tell her I'm outside. Alya walk to the door look both ways and pull me in and shut and lock the door. "I shot him" was all she said I noticed that she was shaking.
"You shot who Lya" I asked completely confused. I know we joked about the gun she had but I never expected her to use it. I look around the house as she finish.
"Chris" she said in a whisper. I snapped my head she way. "Where is he" I asked continuing to the look around the condo. "I-he-Umm-" she started and I barely could understand her.
"Alya slow down go sit down for me shorty" I said looking around smelling a strong scent a bleach.
After thoroughly looking around the condo I join Alya in the couch watching as she look into space still shaking. I grab her hands "talk to me" I said making her look at me and sigh.
"He been hitting me" she said. Immediately my concern turn into angry. "Where the fuck he at Alya and how long this been happening yo" I said and she said crying.
"Some months" she answer "some MONTHS" I basically yelled. "Why you ain't tell me" I asked trying to contain my angry.
"For months I been telling myself that it's because I didn't wanna drag y'all into my problem but it's really because I was embarrassed to admit that I'm the same helpless weak girl that my mom made me into. That all the growth that I act to have is exactly that an act. I still have the nightmare I still feel unsafe I'm still insecure looking for love in all the wrong placing and putting hope in all the wrong people. I'm weak and I'm embarrassed to admit it." She said breaking down crying in my arms.
After she settle she start talking again. "But tonight" she laughed "I don't know he came in here I don't even know how but he did and start saying this and that and I pulled out my gun. We fought like a lot of times before but it felt like I had the upper hand until he pulled out his gun and I knew it was kill or be killed and one thing I always been was a survivor so I shot him but he shot first missing but definitely knocking me off my square I missed first but the second one went right in his leg." She said I just sat and listened now wondering where he was.
"Where he at" I asked confused. "I don't know I went to get bleach to clean up like on the movies and when I came back he was gone. So I ran and called you" she asked immediately putting me at alert. "Pack some bags you not staying here" I said
"Where imma stay" she asked as we walked to her room. "With me duh don't be stupid Alya he know where Trey live so that out of the question" I mushed her head making her laugh.
"I was just checking dang" she shrug and start packing "pack a lot to cuz you probably not coming back here." I said "ok dad" she said rolling her eyes playfully.
"I'm serious Alya get all your essentials and shit" I said sitting in the chair she had in her room. "Can you stop calling me Alya get make me feel like you mad with me or something" she said packing she clothes out of her closet:
"My bad shorty hurry up tho a nigga hungry and sleepy" I said remembering that I didn't have bread at home. I left her in her room and grabbed the bread and looked for snacks. Alya condo always stacked up food. I grabbed some chips and a little Debbie going back to her room.
"Ok I'm ready" she said looking around the room probably making sure she got everything. I grabbed her suitcase and bags heading to the door with her behind me.
"If you hungry you should get some snacks until tomorrow" I said. She walk to the kitchen throwing different snacks in her purse making me shake my head.
Alya remind me so much of my mom it's crazy my mom always have a big ass purse with snacks for years in there. "Ok I'm ready now" Alya stated snapping me out of my thoughts. I open the door letting her out first then shutting it. She turned to lock it up as I unintentionally glanced at her ass.
I do a look over at what she was wearing. Of course it was simply but Alya can pull off anything. Her hair was in a orange bonnet almost the exact color of her outfit.

"Come on its cold in this hallway" she said once again snapping me out of my thoughts.
We making it to the car and I open the door for her then go to the trunk to put her bags in.
On the way to my house it was comfortable silence both of us in our heads. After about 10 minutes I pull up to my house letting Alya in and going back to the car to grab her bags and put them in the guest room.
I go to my room changing into some basketball shorts and a wife beater getting comfortable in my bed. Just as I was about to doze off my door open making me sit up.
I see Alya "wassup" I said looking at her. "Can I sleep in here with you"she asked lowly as if she was scared I was going to say no. I opened the covers and motioned her to come on. She get in the bed and get comfortable.
