The next morning...
At the crib📍
I slowly open my eyes with the sun shining bright on my face.
I sit up and start stretching my arms out. I grab my phone from the nightstand to check the time. It was eleven o'clock in the morning. I look at my notifications, I received five missed calls from my parents, and twenty messages from the gang, Justin, and even Marcus.
I didn't feel like talking and texting nobody. So, I put my phone back down on the nightstand and snuggle into the cover, and take my ass back to sleep.
A couple of minutes go by...
Somebody knocks and opens my door. I didn't bother to see who it was.
"Imani you need to get up baby." I hear my mom's voice as she speaks.
"Ma, I don't want to." I mumble in the cover.
"I know baby, but you have to get up." She sits down next to me and rubs my back.
"Cassidy and Hendrix came earlier this morning. They with Detective Martin finding out what happens and everything." She tells me.
"So, why do I have to get up?" I ask as I get out the cover.
"Detective Martin wants you down the station because you were the last person with him when he was still breathing." She explains as she fixes my hair down.
"I told him everything, what else does he want from me?" I scrunch my face.
"I know baby, it's for Cassidy and Hendrix." She sighed.
"What about Leo? Does he know?" I question.
Leo is Jayden's biological father. He is a drug dealer, he has been dealing with drugs since me and Jayden were kids. Cassidy cut off her relationship with Leo because she doesn't want Jayden to be like his father. But Cassidy couldn't take Jayden away from his father, so they start co-parenting until Jayden became eighteen. Jayden is old enough to decide whether to spend time with his dad or not. And he decided to hang with his dad til this day.
"Cas, try to call him and there was no response. He not picking up their calls, he is nowhere to be found." She tells me.
"Huh? That's so weird why he ain't answering his calls." I scrunch my face looking confused.
