Dangerously In Love

---On The Run---

Nikaliyah's POV:

I close my eyes waiting for this to be over, then finally she got off the bed, her face was so emotionless and confused. I look down and Robert's body was covered in blood and I was covered in blood. OMG WHAT DID SHE DO???

My voice was shaking, "Charity?"

"Get your stuff let's go." She said like nothing just happened.

"Wha- wha- what?"

"You heard me didn't you."

Is she really saying this, we can't just leave him here. He's - he's dead!

"uhhh I can't move."

My body was frozen, i was timid. There's a dead man on top of me for godsake. I'm covered in his blood, my legs are covered in my own blood from his rough entering.

"What do you mean you can't move?" Charity asked.

"I mean.... I'm scared, I'm frozen."

Charity ran over to me and gave me a sincere look, she took my hand and pulled me away,  from the body that was laying on top of me. When I stood up I instantly fell, my legs were too weak, I look down on my legs and I saw bruises, scratches, and blood. I was so sore.

"Nicky are you ok?"

"I just got raped what the hell do you think?" I said back snappy.

"We need to go before they come back, Nicky we can talk about it when we get in the car, ok baby it's ok."

I gave her a head nod and she helped me on my feet, I was whimpering, it hurt so bad but I Had to pull myself together, I limp my way over to my bedroom and grabbed the bag I packed. I grabbed the picture of me a charity when we were kids, Charity then grabbed my bag from me and helped me down the stairs. I can feel the heavy pulse between my legs.

"It's ok take your time." Charity said quietly

I looked over in Robert's room, I see him lying on the floor lifeless, I can't believe that she would do that. I get it's for me but really? KILL? Killing is NEVER the answer!

We managed to make it outside the house, she put my stuff in the trunk along with hers, I ran (with a limp) to the passenger side and jumped in. I sat there within a daze, nothing will be the same ever again.

Charity's POV:
I jumped in the drivers seat and looked at my sister she was in a daze, I knew that nothing will be the same again. I stepped on the gas and sped off, Stephanie and Cathy coming back.

"You can't do this to your self" I said out loud
"Do what?"Nicky said
"Blame yourself, it's not your fault"
"I'm not-
"Don't lie to me, not right now"
"Sorry"
"Nicky look I came to surprise your early, and I saw you with him on top of you, the only thing I thought of is saving you it didn't matter how all I knew was I had to save you and take that pain away"
"And by doing that you killed him?"
"It was for you Nicky damm why do you have to be so damm ungrateful!"
"I'm not trying to-
"Save it, I really don't need this right now, have you thought about what killing a man may do to me, I did it for you, you only think about yourself" I say back.
Nikaliyah's POV:
I calm down a little bit and looked at her, she was focused on driving but a tear rolled down her face. She wiped it away quickly. She always thinks crying shows a sign of weakness, that's how Kevin grew her, grew all his kids.
"You do know it's ok to cry right."
No response.
"Char you know I love you forever and you know that, I know you killed him only for me, I would've done the same for you. I never meant to offend you it's just that a dead man was laying on top of me his blood and my blood were combined, not to mention that I got raped and barely can walk."
"Nicky baby nothing will EVER harm you again ok you hear me"
"I know"
"Good!"
"I love you" I say
"Always"

"And Forever" 

It's a thing we do, we've been doing it since I can remember. We sat quietly the whole ride. I new we were going to a hotel but 1 hour tires into 2 hours then 3. I felt the throbbing in my legs and it started to get harder but I could do is just stay still and try to fall asleep, 5 minutes later I was knocked out.

1 hour later.....
"NO DONT KILL ME STOP NOOO HES GLING TO KILL ME!"
"NICKY WAKE UP!"
"AHHH" I screamed waking up

I woke up scared and shaking. Luckily Charity was next to me holding me. We were in a hotel room.
"Nicky what happened?"
My voice was shaking,"He- he- he tried to kill me"
"Who tried to killed you?"
"I don't know his face was blurry."
Charity had a disbelief look, but she kinda knew I was going to say that. How?
"How long have you been have these dreams?"
"Like a month now."
"WHAT- why didn't you tell me."
" I didn't want to worry you"
She shook her head.
"Was the man holding a gun at you?"
How did she know that??? This is freaking me out!!!
"How- ho- how did you know that?"
She gave me a look, I couldn't really put my finger on it though.
"Nikaliyah when you were a baby/toddler you used to have dreams that someone was out to kill you and that they held a gun at you in a hotel or a house."
"What really, why didn't you tell me"
"Well, it stopped when you got older I didn't know that it came back until-
"So you thought I didn't have a right to know?" I interrupted.
"Nicky- it's not like that, it hurt you so bad that you would even throw up, mamma had to sit by the side of your bed with a bucket waiting for you to throw up. Then it finally went away why would I bring up the memory again?"
I sigh.
"I know you were trying to protect me but I don't like secrets and you know that!"
"Ya I know, how bout this from this day forward no more secrets!"
She held out her pinky waiting for me to hold it with mine.
"Promise"
"Promise"
We locked are pinky's together and smiled, that's the first really smile I've done in a long time.

"Ok go get some rest we have a long day tomorrow, plus I have a surprise for you."

"Surprise?, You know how I feel about surprises."

"Yeah I know but your gonna love this one, now be quiet and go get some rest."

"Wait- what is the surprise?"

 "Do you know the definition of surprise ?" She said playfully rolling her eyes.

"Whatever."

We both laugh.

"Now shut up and get some sleep, I don't wanna hear complaining."

"Ok"

I turn myself on my side and pull the covers on top of me, tonight was a crazy night, VERY CRAZY. If it wasn't for Charity I would've been dead by now. I turned over and sat up on the bed.

"Cher?" I said sleepily.

"Yeah bebes." Responding in a loving tone.

"Thank you for come getting me, I don't know what I would do if I was in there for one more day."

"Don't say thank you, anytime, it's my job."

"Love you"

"Always"

"And Forever"

I smiled and slid back down into the covers, I wondered what the surprise. Are we moving? Does she have a boyfriend I don't know about? Is she pregnant? AM I GONNA BE A AUNT???? The more I thought about it more sleepy I got. Before I know it I was sleeping.
