𝑯𝑰𝑫𝑰𝑵𝑮 : Straight Outta Highschool.

MY POV. (Forgive my mistakes.)

"You, okay?" He asked as he fixed his seat.

I put my fixed my panties and fixed my dress then I nodded my head.

"Ight," he said before I gave him a kiss.

I got out the car and walked into our apartment. It wasn't too long before Ty joined me in the apartment. We showered then I went back in his car to clean the mess up, and decided to drive to the store.

At the store, I picked up some Lay's Salt & Vinegar chips for my boyfriend, skittles for me, toilet paper, and dish detergent.

I began to walk to check out but I was stopped by...

Jaquavious?

He lifted his shirt up to show that he was strapped.  I stood in front of him looking surprisingly confused. 

"Oh, Tyrieek got him a fine one," He said under his breath.

"Ain't you supposed to be taking care of somebody?  Dont you got a girlfriend or something? What do you need with me? I'm not in this little beef you got with my man," I said to him before he could saying anything directly.

"Imma make this quick, lil one. Tell me where that bitch ass at and I'll be outta yo way."

I raised one eyebrow. "Like I said, I'm not in this little beef you got with my man." I repeated.

"So you ain't gonn tell me?" He asked.

"No. And how do you even know about me?" I said back.

Somebody started walking our isle, so he pulled me close to him, causing me to drop the stuff. I felt the cold metal weapon press against me.

"The hell is wrong with you?" I mumbled.

"Everything okay?" The employee asked. 

"Yeah, we straight, my girl just going through something right now," he said as he put his hand down to my butt. I felt so disgusted.

"Okay, well I hope things get better," She said, leaving us alone.

"I dont claim him," I huffed and tried to push him, but the lady was already gone. He let go of me roughly.

Fuckin weirdo.

"Just tell me where he at and I'll get out yo way," he said. I tried to walk away from him but grabbed my arm with a harsh grip.

"You Tani friend, right?"

"Why?" I questioned.

"You gone answer it?" He asked with his eyebrows raised. 

"No," I instantly said.

"Ight. Don't get in my way, though. Ion wanna hurt you like last time."

"Can I pay for my stuff now?" I asked.  Without saying anything back, he picked my stuff up off the ground, handed to me, then moved out the way.

I walked to the register and paid for my items, and I walked back to the car. I put the bags in the front seat then quickly dialed Ty's number as I pulled out of the parking lot.

This is how the call went:

"Who this?" He asked.

"Ty."

"Huh? Who this is?"

"Um...Alani? "

"You sure?"

"Yes, Tyrieek. "

"Nahh.. Ion think so. I have a girlfriend."

"Ty, I'm not joking- "

He hung up on me, then texted me. I rolled my eyes at his text. Ion know how he graduated highschool.

I texted him back, explaining what just happened. I even told him about Jaquavious touching my butt. It took like 2 minutes to send each text since I was texting and driving, but when I parked at the apartment complex, I saw that he was coming downstairs. He came up to the car then got in, putting the stuff in the back.

"Where he at, ma?" He asked looking out the windows, " Im finna kill this nigga, forreal."

"I dont know."

He rubbed on my thigh. "You good?"

"Yeah. Well no. Why would you swear on my life that you killed that man when he still walking, talking, and breathing? Perfectly fine at that."

" 'cause imma kill his ass so it wont be a lie no more." Ty said back, sounding dumb as ever.

"I dont think that's how it works. So if I dieee then you're gonna live with that guilt."

"You not gonn die so stop saying that shit." He grouched.

"I'm just saying."

"Ian gonn let nothing happen to you, Alani. I love you too much to lose you."

"I love you too but, I love you enough to not put shit on your life. And yo chips is in the bag that you threw in the back seat," I said, pointing to the back. "I'm getting out of this car and imma go lay down."

Ty sucked his teeth.

"What?" I asked as I got the stuff out the backseat.

"Nothing" He said, looking out the window again.

"Ty?" I asked, concerned and he quickly got out the car then shots were fired.

Shocked,I  rushed in the backseat and I rolled to the floor. Seconds later, someone's car horns were being honked a long time and I spotted Ty running back up the stairs, through the windshield.

I looked out rear windshield and saw a car moving on it own with someone's head on the steering wheel. I couldnt get a good look at who it was because I was so shaken up.

Did Ty just.. kill someone?, I thought.

I was confused because Ty didnt look armed. Maybe I just wasnt looking at him like that.
