y'all know the song melt by kehlani ? there's where i got the idea of this book from.
Sᴏʟᴀɴɢᴇ Aᴘᴏʟʟᴏ Jᴀᴍᴇs
"So wassup ?" I said getting into Zyair's car.
"Ight so you wanted details imma give you it." He said looking at me with low eyes.
Nigga always high.
"You always high, crackhead ass." I said.
"Not too much, not too fucking much." He said.
(i miss my man)
"Anyways, get to talking." I said.
"Yea so, the nigga we setting up, his name Omari. Me and him used to be real cool, but he did some shit nobody can come back from. One day I went to run some errands, he text me and was like he was on the way to my house, I told him I wasn't there. He said he was gonna wait, I ain't mind it cause you know that was like a brother to me." He paused.
I nodded my head motioning him to continue.
He sighed, "Alright so, my lil sister was there, so I told her to let him in, not thinking much of it."
I never knew he had a sister..
"So, I get home and walk in the house and it's dead silent, which was odd to me. I'm calling my sister name, and this nigga name and i'm getting zero response. I go upstairs to the guest room and..." He trailed off.
I could see he was getting bothered, so I rubbed his arm.
"It's okay, keep going." I said gently.
"Like I was saying, I went to the room and seen my sister unconscious..naked, blood everywhere. I was stuck, I ain't know what to do. And I just kept thinking where was this nigga at." His voice got lower.
I frowned, already knowing how this story was gonna end.
"I checked her pulse, and she was already dead. There wasn't shit I could do except call the police. The police got there along with the ambulance. They took her body and that was that. Ran some tests on her..he raped her man. And I guess he couldn't let her walk away, so he ended her life. Eight shots man, eight shots...." He trailed off.
"I'm so sorry..." I trailed off.
"It's straight." He shrugged.
"Where was Omari at ?" I asked.
"I guess the nigga dipped, I didn't realize his car was gone till the police showed up." He said.
"Now you know why I want this nigga gone." He said.
I thought about it, and I understood. I didn't feel any remorse for what I was about to do. Niggas like Omari don't deserve to live in this world.
"I'm down." I said "Let's kill him."

"Why you making the decision to do this with Zyair ?" Jakaii asked.
I shrugged, "It's for good reason."
"I know the reason, but this gone be your first body Mocha. Think about how different that's gonna make you." He said.
"I understand Jakaii, but you know what I went through and I feel like this is what I have to do." I said.
I felt sympathy for Zyair's sister, having gone through the same thing she did. I didn't know her but I feel like I owe it to her, to give her justice. Police don't take us rape victims serious, resulting in us to take matters into our own hands.
Police claim they're the best there is but how could you let a rapist walk the earth free ?
"You sure this is what you wanna do ?" Jakaii asked.
I nodded my head, "I'm sure."
"Ight then lil gangsta bitch." He said.
I laughed, "Nigga you so damn dumb."

I was riding around and decided to go to my daddy's grave.
Hopping out the car I made my way to where he was buried.
He had a glossy black headstone with gold engravings, gotta keep him fresh even in death.
Sitting down I rubbed his headstone ridding it of specks of dust.
Sighing, "Wassup old man, I miss you and I wish you were here to guide me. Guide me through the rights and wrongs."
"I wonder if you're proud of me, maybe you are, but i'm not proud of myself. I blame myself for what happened at that party. And I wish you were there to hold me, and tell me it wasn't my fault." I sniffed and wiped the tear that fell from my eye.
The wind blew softly causing me to smile.
"Things are gonna happen soon, and I feel like it's gonna change me, maybe for the better or for the worse. Time will tell. We all miss you."
"Lani got so big, she acts just like Jakaii. Always smiling. He's my glue, always checking in, making sure i'm straight, making sure my momma straight."
"Granny still crazy as ever though, that lady there." I shook my head laughing.
Grunting I got up and wiped my butt free of any dirt.
"I just wanted to stop by and talk to you, feel like I haven't been doing it a lot lately. Well lemme get up out of here, I love you forever."
----
Getting home, I immediately went to take a shower, feeling dirty.
After my shower, I went to get leftovers from the icebox, not feeling like cooking. Warming it up I went back to my room and turned on the tv.
Going to Youtube, I put on 5-Minute Crafts. They so dumb, but it's entertaining to watch.
Setting my bowl on the nightstand I put my focus back on the tv.
Guess Imma watch this shit until I get tired.
Hearing a knock on the door I got up and pulled my wedgie out, going downstairs. Looking through the peephole I seen none other than...these bums again.
Opening the door I scrunched my face up seeing all three of them with blankets and pillows in their hands.
"Unt unt what y'all doing ?" I asked.
"Sleepover duh, now move." Jakaii said pushing me out the way.
I threw my head back, "Y'all gone be the death of me I swear."
