Darkness roamed through the sky, and all that could be seen was the intense light from the moon . Everything thing was silent. The only thing that could be heard was the rain beating against Hennessy's bedroom window.

She sat at the edge of the bed, holding a letter that had been posted through her door. She stared at it for a while before opening it and beginning to read:

To Hennessy ,

There's many things about me that you don't know. I've made many mistakes in life, but this one has costed my life. If an unknown caller calls you, don't answer it but just know that i'm gone.

I love you unconditionally, always have always will. Since the day i met you, I know i never told you how i felt most of the time cause we was arguing but just know your my whole world.

I would do anything to take back what i did so i could spend my life with you, but i guess we don't always get what we want in life.

words can't describe how much i'm gonna miss you, our late night talks, our smoke sessions the adventures we went on, our toxic ass arguments, and can't forget when i'm blowing out your back.

Stay strong for me babygirl, Don't give up. live your life to the fullest and remember that i'm always watching you.

from the love of your life
Ezekiel ♡

Tears flooded down her face as she processed everything that she had just read. Never in a million years could she imagine loosing the man she loved the most.

Growing up she never had a father figure who showed her love. But Ezekiel had filled that emptiness during their 4 month relationship. Some would say she was moving to fast and 4 months was to short to love someone, but for her it wasn't .

Their relationship was only temporary, but to her it was eternity.

She quickly got up and ran to the bathroom, feeling herself about to throw up. She leant over the toilet and emptied out the contents in her stomach.

Meanwhile, Rashiid paced around the trap as Kas told him everything he had found out. Kas was very useful when it came to computers, If he wanted to he could find out any and everything.

"I hacked into the road cameras and the last place I saw him he was in his car, heading towards Doddington Estate"

"Say no more" Was all Rashiid said before walking out and hopping into his car. Rashiid knew exactly where he was and it annoyed him that it took him 2 hours just to figure it out.

He pulled of and headed straight to flat 190 Doddington Estate. The house where Ezekiel was raised in before his Nan died. When she died the flat was written of to him but he never stayed and only went there unless he needed somewhere to clear his head.

After minutes of reckless driving, Rashiid had finally arrived. He put his car in park and pulled out the duffel bag in the back seat.

First he slipped on a pair of black gloves, then slid the bally over his head. He took out his 'Glock19' and checked how much bullets were inside the 10.2cm barrel before tucking it into the waistband of his tracksuit.
Lastly, he pulled out a 10inch rambo and hid it in the leg of his joggers.

He got out the car and headed to the entrance to the block.

Doddington Estate was the definition of poverty so he wasn't worried about the camera at the door because it definitely didn't work. He swung the door open cause like expected it was broken.

The lifts were broken so he began climbing up the stairs. He had only made it up two flights and had 15 left.
The entire way up, all he could think about was weather Ezekiel was there or not and how someone who he classed as family could do him like that.

After climbing up a total of 270 steps he had finally made it to the 10th floor. He walked along the balcony, admiring the night life of london, before making it to the last door that read '190' in bold silver numbers.

Using his dominant foot, he kicked open the door causing it to fly open and slam against the wall behind it.

He slowly moved through the house he had once grew up in. It was dark inside so he pulled out his phone to use as a flashlight. The floor boards in the passage were cracked and creaked at every movement he made.

The Pictures on the wall were tilted and covered in piles of dust which flew through the house and shone in the light.

He stopped at the living room door as a puddle of thick blood ran underneath it. "Fuck" he whispered to himself as he opened the door and was greeted with Ezekiel dead body hanging from the ceiling.

He walked closer to the body inspecting it; Blood poured from around his neck and out of his mouth.

Rashiid gaged as his went to the other side of the body and stared at the missing skin on his back and the knife wedge into his exposed spine.

At first it looked like Zeek had killed him self but now it looked like he was
killed.

Hearing police sirens approaching , Rashiid ran out the house and out the block. He jumped in his car and sped of immediately. He drove with out stopping until he made it back to the trap.

He didn't go inside, he just sat in his car thought.

Death usually never hit Rashiid, he was numb to it. But seeing the person he called his 'Bestfriend' or 'Family' hung in front of him was hard.

He had lots of unanswered questions, first one being who killed Ezekiel, it's not like he was gonna go after them because either way he was going to kill him.

Anayah got up and ran to the door as the door bell rang. She opened the door and was greeted with a distressed Hennessy.

"He's gone Anayah he's gone" Hennessy cried, collapsing into her friends arms.

She knew exactly who Hennessy was on about.

She helped her friend into the house and sat them both down on the sofa. Anayah nor Hennessy said anything before Hennessy started crying again and Anayah pulled her into a hug.

She softly rubbed her hands across Hennessy's back, comforting her as she cried.

"Anayah i'm pregnant, we was gonna have a baby" Hennessy coughed up breaking the silence.

Anayah didn't know what to say, something in here mad her feel bad that she was one of the reasons why her best friends baby would grow up fatherless.

"It's okay I got you and the baby" She reassured Hennessy.

"Forever and always?" Hennessy asked, reciting their childhoodhood promise.

"Forever and always"
