MAEVE

Two hours of sleep, just barely.

That's how much Divine slept last night. Every time she would even just start to fall asleep, her eyes would shoot open and she would start hyperventilating.

Wonder how much sleep I had? None.

I couldn't even think about sleep after what I witness but also I'm too scared and worried about my girlfriend. She is so traumatized by what happened that I don't want to fall asleep and not be there to comfort her.

"Baby come on let's get into the bath" I say, taking her cold hands into mine. She was still blankly at the wall across the bed. She hasn't moved since she woke up thirty minutes ago.

It hurt seeing her like this.

She allowed me to pull her out the bed but continued to have an emotionless look on her face. I led her to the bathroom and checked the water to make sure it was hot enough to her liking. I turned around to see her looking at the water with that same empty and emotionless face.

Pulling my shirt from over her head, I reached behind her and tied her hair up before grabbing her bonnet that she leaves over here. I put it on her head and make sure none of her hair is peeking out. I undress the rest of her clothes and underwear before allowing her to step into the water.

"I'm going to go get breakfast started and feed Para. I'll be back" I kiss her forehead making her look at me before she nodded her head slowly. I stared at her for a moment before standing up, heading downstairs to my kitchen.

I know I should be with her right now but I can't handle looking at her and seeing that gun in her hands. Does that make me a bad person?

God, I'm loosing my mind.

I finish up preparing Divine's breakfast and take it upstairs to her only to find her sitting on the bed naked with my speaker in her hands. "Hey. I made you breakfast babe" I say, setting the plate down on the nightstand closest to her.

"Thank you" She tells me making me smile lightly and nod my head. Divine connects her phone to the speaker before playing music.

Love Yourz by J Cole

I sit down next to her but manage to keep my space, not wanting to upset her. I watch as she eats her food while scrolling through her phone.

I guess that bath helped

Her phone rings causing the music to stop and she curses under her breath. "Hey B" she answers the facetime call.

"Why the fuck did I come into a clean ass house Divine?"

Huh?

"Oh" She casts a glance at me before continuing what she was saying. "I called X to come clean up around the house. You know how crazy our place looks when he don't do it."

"Well tell X he did a good motherfucking job."

What is happening? Divine's place was trashed last time I checked.
