Ebony, Mi Amore

Rundown

EBONY

I stood up when I saw Lily stepping out of the room. Her face was anxious and scared. She came over to me quickly the officer quick on her heels. " Ebony, I was a part of the scheme and now I have to go to jail! Tell me you forgive me! iPor favor!" Lily clasped my hands between hers and squeezed tight. I looked deep into her eyes. Tears threatened to spill over. " Lily I'm not going to press charges against you. I know that you weren't going to hurt me.  I forgive you. I hope I am to being a fool." Lily nodded quickly.

The officer raised his eyebrows at me. Questioning me. Was I sure? Did I believe her? I looked deep into Lily's eyes. Yes, I did. The tears were spilling now. " Thank you so much Ebony! Gracias!"I nodded at Lily. She pulled me tightly to her chest.

Time-lapse: 3 hours

AUTHORS NOTE: Hey yall Ebony is of West African, Ghanaian origin but I have not really portrayed that too well besides the fancy African print clothing and the food. But I was thinking of sprinkling some of the words in TWI around. TWI is one of the native tongues of Ghana. I will say the meaning don't worry. Enjoy!

I lay on the couch tiredly and uncomfortably as Lily and Zena made dinner. Rice and beans with a side of fried sweet plantain. Yum. The delicious aroma reached my nose. I get up quickly when I hear Oliver whimpering. A small cry leaving his small lips. " Hey baby MƐnsu//Don't cry , you are fine me abɔfra! //my baby!" Oliver looked up at me his little adorable face was so adorable. He had blue eyes. Just like his father but everything else was me. He had my curly, and kinky coils. His nose was cute and button-like.

He quieted down as I fed him. Lily brought my plate to me on the couch. She sat on my right side and Zena sat on my left side. Mason was still at work. But he would be here anytime soon. Lily changed the channel to the news. I began to complain until I noticed something. There was a picture of Ashely on the upper right side of the screen. The Tv must have been showcasing the scene from a helicopter because it seemed like we were looking down. The tops of cars zoomed by. But non of them were going as fast as the red one. None of the others were being chased by the cops either.

I heard Lily gasp. "Cono" Ashely was leading the police on a high goose chase. Her car was fast. She zoomed right through different cars avoiding traffic. Everyone in the room turned to the door as we heard the keys jingle. Mason. He smiled as he entered Lily's Condo. "What's up, guys?" Lily speed to the kitchen. Grabbing his plate of food and a fork. She rushed him to sit. "¡Siéntese ahora y mire la televisión! ¡Mira lo que está pasando!// Sit down and look at the tv. Look what is happening!" Lily was beginning to sound hysterical. Mason sat down in the armchair, all of his senses were glued to the tv.

We watched the tv all of us at the edge of our seats. Ashely was an incredible driver. Dodging and twisting. She was good. But then she drove into a neighborhood that had many cars parked in the area. A wrong turn. She would get caught for sure now. She wouldn't be able to drive. We all drew a collective gasp as we watched Ashley exit her red sports car quickly. She started to run and twist around cars. Some of the police officers exited their cars as well. They were chasing her on foot now. Ashely was at least 5 yards away. She had a good stretch from the police. I guess she could get away if she wanted to.

We never expected to see what we saw next. Ashely was running, getting ready to turn the corner when all of a sudden she is getting thrown backward. She is flying. Her body hits the floor. The police officers hurry to her. Ashely had just got thrown like a rag doll. By an unsuspecting car. A woman steps out of the car. The helicopter's camera zoomed in on the scene. Ashely was not being shown anymore. A light skin black lady with colorful braids of locs. I couldn't tell. She had her hands on her head. A look of horror crossing her face. Everyone in the living room was quiet. Our eyes were glued to the tv. An ambulance was getting closer to the scene.

The live broadcasting was stopped. Returning us to the TV news station. The tv immediately went to break. We sat silently. The only thing we could hear was the scraping of Zena's spoon on the plate. We sat here waiting for the news to come back. We all sat up straight. Listening intently as A pretty blonde news lady filled us in. Ashley was going to suffer some concussions. She was very hurt but, She was not to be pronounced dead. Not from the tests now at least. Mason and I looked at each other from across the room. I love you. Mason mouthed o me.

I mouthed it back. " Wait so does this mean that I get to go back to my own room?" Zena asked peering at me. I nodded my head. " Yes it does!" I squealed back. "But we will miss Aunt Lily won't we?" Zena bonded over to Lily and gave her a deep hug. "Of course!" I held Oliver closely to my chest. Thank you Jesus. We were safe. No jensy, or Ashely to come after us. I looked over at Lily. She looked a little sad but she was going to get over it. Ashely wasn't even good to her.
