Kendra: where you coming from?

Jace: Therapy.

Kendra: you really taking this shit seriously.

Kendra laughs over the phone.

Jace: girl go to hell.

I put her on speaker and began driving away from my therapist office.

Jace: you know the ops prolly watching our every move, we at least gotta make it look believable we got ...ya know.

Kendra: bitch we haven't been to work in MONTHS...if I was a op that already looks suspicious to me.

I sigh.

I look over my gas gauge and see I'm almost on E. I pull over to get gas.

Kendra: you still coming tonight ?

Jace: what's the name of the club again ?

Kendra: Shade!

Jace: bitch why are you yelling?

Kendra: because I know you! Whenever you do that! When you keep forgetting the name n shit that's means you not goin.

I roll my eyes.

She was right. I haven't seen the boys in MONTHS...I haven't seen East in months. I regretted telling him I never wanna speak to him again.

Kendra: they got a section! You know it's gon be bottles on bottles! And I know you wanna see yo boo.

Once again I was rolling my eyes but she was right. I wanted to see him BAD.

I pull the pump out my tank & hang it back.

Voice: Wassup.

I look up & see CJ. Leaning against my driver door.

I stood there like petrified wood. I was terrified.

Kendra: girl who is that !?

CJ shakes his head telling me to not say nothing.

Jace: girl it's nobody, I'll call you back.

My voice trembled hard. I could tell Kendra noticed but I hung up before she could say anything.

CJ: Let's talk in the car real quick.

I shake my head.

CJ sighs.

CJ: this gas station is packed I ain't bout to do nothin to you.

He walks over to my passenger door and gets in. I open my driver door and slide in.

I look ahead with anger watering my eyes.

CJ: Ian gon hurt chu. I'm the last one you need to be scared of.

I turn my head to him.

CJ: you think you scared of me. You need to be terrified of him.

I turn my head back forward. I'm not bout to listen to this bullshit.

CJ: The East I know is a muthafucka...and you don't know him like I do.

Jace: what do you want?

I say irritated.

CJ: I been his friend for years you know how many girls I've done that to...Why do you think he stopped me...you're the only one that could have went to the cops.

I look at him in the corner of my eye.

CJ: Knowing how East move I bet he been keeping tabs on you. You think he trusts you ?
