There's Nobody Like You (Parts 1 & 2)

Chapter XI

** Marley's POV **

We pulled up in front of my aunt's two-story white house. She must've heard me pull in the drieveway because she was standing at the door with a huge smile on her face. I loved my auntie. She was like a second mom to me. Whenever my mom needed her, she was there. She helped my mom out through all of her hard times.

"Hi beauties!" She said as she walked towards the car.

"Hi aunt Chanel." I said while hugging her.

"Here's the run down on those two little divas in the back. Your niece's friend, Riley, acts just like Aaliyah. Therefore, you have to watch them. And don't let them talk you into anything." I explained while giggling.

"Thats so cute." She replied.

My auntie always wanted a little girl but after her near death experience while having her son, Fred, kids were out of the equation. Im pretty sure after spending the weekend with Aaliyah and Riley she'll be ready to send them home.

I opened the door letting them out. Aaliyah ran up and hugged her aunt Chanel. Riley just stood by me while watching them. Surprisingly, she's shy.

"Go up and hug her Riley." I urged her.

She simply shook her head and smiled.

"Aww she's shy Marley." My aunt said.

"That'll fade away in a little. TRUST ME." I said while laughing.

"Okay girls, give me hugs and kisses so you all can go party." I said.

I bent down as Aaliyah and Riley ran up and hugged me. I kissed them both on the cheeks and warned them to be on their best behavior. They laughed then ran up the stairs to my aunt's house.

As I was about to get into the car my aunt stopped the door from closing.

"Oh sorry, what's up?" I apologized.

"Girl, look at this car!" She squealed.

"I know auntie, thanks." I replied.

"On a serious note though, have you heard from my sister?" She asked.

"Ohh umm no but I'm sure she's fine. Give them a few days and they should be calling all of us. Maybe there doing a second honeymoon." I said while forcing a giggle. Hopefully I convinced her that everything is okay.

"Oh okay baby girl. Just wondering. I hope their having fun on that honeymoon of theirs!" She said laughing as she walked back towards her house.

"BYE!" I yelled after her.

"There's no bye, but see you later." She replied before continuing up the steps to her house.

I closed the car door and began backing out of the driveway. As I was in route to the house, something just felt off; terribly off. A voice in my head told me to get home, and get home fast.

I was doing 80 mph in a 50 mph zone. I didn't give a damn about the speed limits; all I cared about was getting home.

I arrived home in about 10 minutes and quickly gathered my things and left the car. I walked up the stairs hastily and began unlocking the locks. Strangely, the door wasn't closed completely. I opened the door slowly and surveyed the place before entering completely.

"Ian! Are you hear?" I yelled through the house.

"M-m-m-mar!" I heard Ian yell out.

I rushed in the direction of his voice and immediately halted in my tracks. I stared in disbelief at the sight. There was blood all over our once white and platinum kitchen.

I went ballistic.

"Ian, what the hell is going on?!" I screamed while bursting into tears.

His back was facing me as he knelt on the kitchen floor. His head hung low but I couldn't see what he was doing.

"Baby, answer me." I said loudly as I crept up behind him, trying to stay calm.

"S-s-she's gone!" He screamed. I could hear the pain in his voice.

I was so confused.

"Ian who's gone?" I questioned timidly.

He didn't reply. All I heard was sniffling and praying. I began looking over Ian's shoulder my heart began racing. Once I got a view of what he was doing, I immediately fell to my knees.

This can't be happening!
