Diamond's POV

After spending 3 hours of listening to Meech telling me "everything", I couldn't process it all.
I felt as if I was having a Deja Vu moment.

I shut down on him. Telling  him to give me space and time to try to comprehend his situation.

He apologized over and over again before telling me he understood and told me to take my time. Along with telling me, I knew where to find him if I needed him.

That was 2 months ago...

Over the sixty day period, I was attending more therapy sessions than normal. Trying to find a way to cope with my emotions and anxiety.

I couldn't hang out with Kiki because she was with his brother. I just had to remove my self completely from the situation.

Kiki knew something was wrong when I wasn't answering her calls and barely texting her back.

"Diamond! Where are you!?" I heard her sultry voice yell throughout my quiet apartment. I sighed as I laid across my bed, wrapped up in my blankets.

Her heavy footsteps quickly made it to my dark room.
"Bitch... why is it so dark in here?" I heard her ask, before flipping the switch on the wall. Making the lights turn on.
I winced from the brightness burning my eyes. Covering my eyes with the blanket, I sighed.

"Kiki, please. I just wanna be alone right now." I mumbled under the covers.

"Dime... I know what happened. Why didn't you call me?" I heard her ask. I felt the bed dip next to me, as her hand laid on my back.
Gently rubbing it.

"I just needed time to grasp this shit. You know I already been through this. My dad already and still is, dealing with shit like this."

I pulled the cover back looking over at her face. Kiki's face dropped when she looked at me.
"Dime, you gotta get up. How long have you been in this house? In this spot?..." She asked.
I shrugged before dropping my gaze from hers.

"Before you ask, I've been to my therapist on multiple occasions. Yes, I've tried to eat. I have no appetite." I spoke before flipping over to my back, and sitting up.

She sighed before shaking her head.

"Jordan told me this morning that Meech told you everything." She stated before looking down at her hands.
"Once he did, I made a beeline straight here. To make sure you were okay..."

I looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

"Wait... So, you knew that Meech and Jordan were the biggest drug dealers out here?" I asked. Starting to feel like I've been betrayed.

She nodded her head.
My feelings were hurt.

Kiki looked over at me with an apologetic look in her face. I blankly looked at her .

"I know you're mad, but the night of our Date. Jordan told me everything. From when they were younger up until now."

I scoffed before shaking my head and rolling my eyes.
