Billie

Raymon, Mika and I met up at a motel, it was ironic that it was the same motel that got me into this mess. I was not only high on pain meds, but a little something else to help me through this shit. As much as I didn't want to, I didn't think I had any other choice.

"I see you got my message, so you here to talk business Billie "

"Your message was your men fucking me up and landing me in the hospital"

"So you know how serious I am?"

I clenched my jaw and was about to say something disrespectful, but Mika quickly caught on and slightly bumped into me, basically telling me to keep my mouth shut. So I took a deep breath and looked down at my feet.

"Look I'm only 17, I'm not familiar with this, I have a baby and I can't put her life in danger I'm just a kid myself"

"You should've thought about that before you pointed a gun at me Billie"

"I wasn't actually going to shoot you"

"No, you got something in you, you've got balls, how's your girlfriend by the way Cassie, should we pay her a visit? You know what how's your daughter, Elise? Eloise"

"You fucker," I tried to go after him but Mika held me back.

"Who is this? Your bodyguard?"

"Mika, and I'm a friend"

"So Billie what is it going to be you join me or we make your life a living hell"

"...Fine, but under one condition, you take her too," I said referring to Mika.

"Yeah I'll hire her to keep yo cold ass in check, those blue eyes ain't the first thing you notice for no reason"

"So what do you want me to do?" I asked him.

"Have a seat Billie"

"Billie hey c'mon let's get out of here," Mika said to me as I sat outside the motel, knees to my chest and I was crying. I couldn't believe what I got myself into and how I'm going to be able to get myself out of it.

"I just threw my life away Mika, this is so fucked up"

"Imma be there with you"

"You're throwing away your life too"

"I've already got a record and my parents hate me which makes no sense cause they're both junkie pieces of shits. My life was screwed from the moment I was born"

"What are we going to do?"

"If you got off of that nasty ass ground I'll tell you"

I nodded and stood up wiping my tears with my sleeve. She wrapped her arm around me and we began walking to her truck.

"For now tell me something positive"

"Let's see Cassie and I had sex the other night"

"Did you use a condom?"
