I ran upstairs to my room to take a shower and put on these clothes

"Coming!"
It was just me at home because my mom had work and my dad be where he be at.
I ran downstairs and opened the door. "Hey Bobby" Bobby: "What goin on Babygirl?"
I gave him and hug and let him in "Shoot I can't call it"
Bobby: "Where your parents at?" "My mom is at work and my dad be where he be. I don't know"
~RING RING RING~
"Come on" We walked upstairs to my room and sat down on the bed. I answered the phone
"Talk to me" Janet: "Hey Liyah" "Hey, did you get my voicemail?" Countess: "Yeah I heard. Someone was picked"
"So did you do it?" Janet: "Hell nah! I'm not playing" "Okay, look I'm just trying to figure out what happened"
Janet: "I think you mean your trying to figure out if I texted Larenz's name. He make you call and ask me?" "What? No!"
Janet: "If your asking me or anybody else question it should be your boy. Okay? I mean, what do you really know about him anyway? No judgment but maybe Larenz is clouding yours"
"Look, where you at huh? Somewhere safe?" Janet: "Yeah. I'm with Cubes family. What about you?"
"I'm just keeping my head down for now" Janet: "As long as your staying far away from Larenz"
I looked over at Bobby "Just hit me up if anything happens okay?" Janet: "Fasho"
Bobby: "Did she say she did it?" "Nah" Bobby: "Do you believe her "Well yeah"
Bobby: "I don't know about you Babygirl, but..." He moved his hand on my thigh
"Um...I think I'd feel a lot safer if I was with someone I trusted" I lifted his hand off my thigh gently
Bobby: "Um..great game" "Thanks" Bobby: "I saw you talking to the coach"
"Yeah she was just talking about how the school hasn't won in 2 years and the next winner at the school gets to take pictures with a professional photographer and gets to be in a magazine" Bobby: "What? Really? I'm so happy for you!"
I blushed and looked away "Thanks" Bobby: "Um...I actually wanted to talk to you about something" "What's up?"
Bobby: "So what's this grudge you have against Pac?" "Well, it's not exactly a grudge I mean if anything I wouldn't call it that. My dad told me to stay away from him and I don't know"
Bobby: "Pac is good people. We were going to find out about your brother sometime soon" "Yeah...your right. Um Countess asked me to audition for cheerleading with her and I don't know how to feel about it"
Bobby: "Maybe you should go for it" "Really?" Bobby: "Well yeah you got the body for it and the attitude"
"Okay, imma audition for it tomorrow and talk to Pac" Bobby: "Bet"
~TUPAC'S POV~
I walked up to Janets house and knocked on the door "Hello?"
I waited for a response for about 2 minutes and finally someone opens the door
"Hello um, I'm looking for Janet?" She opens the door more and I saw it was her. I didn't recognize her without all that makeup she usually has on
"Wow Janet, you look awesome" Janet: "I just got out the shower. And normally I look?" "Different. But also awesome. You-you have a hearse in your driveway"
Janet: " Yeah. This is a funeral home, but also my home" "Actually explains a lot some how"
Janet: "What are you doing here?" "Someone got picked" Janet: "Yeah, I heard"
"So, I was thinking we could look out for each other?" Janet: "Did what I tell you go right through your donut hole and out the other side? It's not a good idea"
"Neither is going home. Or to work or school. Nowhere is safe. So if it's all the same...I'd rather take my chances with you"
She let me in and we sat down on her couch "Your watching horror movies? At a time like this?"
Janet: "I'm looking for clues, patterns. Because we have to figure out what's next, Pac. Find the next plot twist so we can stay one step ahead"
"Well, if any of that involves me staying away from you, you can forget it"
Janet: "Look....I don't want anything bad to happen to you because of me. We all have roles to play in this you might be the nice guy but..I'm the bitch. Good for a few quips, maybe a boob flash, and then...I'm the one that everyone wants to see die. And they cheer when it happens, like...when that wheelchair dude gets carved up in Texas Chainsaw"
"But that won't happen to me because, you're Ron let it. I mean you know everything about this stuff-"
Janet: "No. I act like I do. Trying to be all cool and collected, like watching these movies mean I know exactly what's gonna happen next but...this is real life. And the truth is I'm just as lost and terrified as you are"
I sat next to Janet and to my surprise I felt a knife in between the cushions
"A knife?" Janet: "Just because I don't know what coming next, doesn't mean I'm not prepared"
"You got one for me?" Janet: "Keep it. Your right. Nowhere is safe"
