When you love someone

Priah

(Warning: blood and violence)

" Ok wait so how long y'all been together" TK asked sitting next to me in the passengers seat.

"11 months, in 5 days it's gonna be a year and I feel like she got this big thing planned and I don't have shit" I said starting to role a blunt.

"Take her to dinner or som" he said making me stale face him

"Nigga no it's our 1 year anniversary, 'dinner' ain't gon' cut it"

"Well shit ion fuckin' know" He said taking a sip of his Arizona drink "Everything don't have to be big and expensive D, just do something you know she'll never forget"

Knowing me I already knew it was most likely gonna be big and expensive but I still took his words into consideration.

I stared into space for almost 10 minutes until TK's phone rang making me snap back into reality.

"What's up baby?..... Ok I'll be there in a minute, I love you too bye"

I couldn't help but smile at him being all lovey dovey

"What nigga?" He ask side eyeing me

"Nothing nothing" I said chuckling "You gotta go?"

"Yeah the plumbers at our crib and she know ion like when she there by herself"

"Ight I'll take you"

~~~~

"Ight D, imma fuck wit' you"

TK said before getting out the car. He outstretched his tryna dab me up but I completely ignored it and leaned in for a hug.

"See you later kid"

He got out the car and jogged to his front door going inside. As soon I pulled out his driveway Lana called me.

"Hey baby" her soft voice said immediately making me smile

"Hey beautiful, what you doing?"

"Watching tangled"

That girl watched that movie every other day. I don't think I know anyone else that loves it as much as her.

"Of course you are" I said laughing

"You still with TK?"

"Nah he just went home"

"You on your way home?"

"No I have to have to got the club, I won't take too long though I promise"

"Ughh ok, I'll see you later I love you"

"I love too see you in a lil bit"

After almost 20 minutes of driving I made it to the club and parked in the same spot I always parked in. I stared into space for a second until something caught my attention. A run down looking black truck was parked in one of the VIP parking spots. Those were only for people who worked here or special guest and no special guest were on the list tonight. I didn't pay too much attention to it and went up to my office to finish my business.

"Now who the hell ordered sporks for the bar.." I mumbled because everyone knew I hated sporks

"Hey D" Keyshawn said poking her head in through the door.

"Hey Key, what's up?"

"Some country looking white dude name Christopher here to talk to you"

"Christopher?"

"Yeah he's been here for a while waiting for you"

"Umm, alright send him up"

That name with the description sounded so familiar to me but I couldn't think of anyone. I got one of those uncomfortable gut feelings and started feeling uneasy, but why?

I waited no more than 3 minutes and got a knock on my door. I got up out my seat and opened the door revealing the man Keyshawn described to me. I let him in and closed to door going back to my desk.

"Hey how can I help you" I asked looking over him.

He had on this black T-shirt with small spots of bleach stains, denim jeans with white paint splatters, worn out Tims, and a dirty blonde mullet.

"Hi I'm looking for a job here" he said giving me an uneasy stare.

"You have to apply online, but right now all spots are taken"

"Well can you make some arrangements?"

"No, I can't"

I took a glance at his facial features and my heart dropped and my face went pale. He was the spitting image of Ashton.

(Go back to chapter 6 if you forget)

Right then and there I realized exactly why he was here. He wasn't here for a job offer, he was here to get even.

"I'm guessing you realized who I am" he said still staring at me

"Look, I'm assuming he's your brother and I'm sorry about how it all went down. But takin me out makes absolutely no sense"

I watched as his face went red and he reached behind his pants pulling out a hand gun pointing it at me.

"DON'T FUCKING TELL ME WHAT MAKES SENSE. DID KILLING MY BROTHER MAKE SENSE???"

If I truthfully answered that he'd kill me where I stand so I had to be smart about this, and I couldn't tell him it was my security who killed or his deranged ass would probably shoot up this whole damn club.

"Christopher, I get you. If this was my brother I'd be feeling the same way right-"

"THEN WHY? WHY KILL HIM?" He yelled with tears running down his face

Even though he had a gun pointed at me ready to shoot me I felt so much empathy towards him; But I wasn't about to let this nigga kill me.

"Because he stole from me and tried to shoot me. What choice did I have??"

He took his gaze off me and started pacing around the room. I locked my eyes on the gun hidden under my desk and watched how long it took for him to look in the opposite direction. Once he turned around I quickly got the gun reloading it ready to point it at him.

I felt a sharp pain in my stomach making me fall back into my chair. Blood ran down the lower half of my body and I starting to feel light headed. I held onto the wound and looked up at him. His hands were shaking and he dropped the gun while more tears ran down his face. My vision was a blur but I watched my security run into the office and tackle him to ground. I felt myself being lifted out of the chair.

"CALL 911 NOW!" One of them yelled

"Why what happened-  PRIAH!!" Keyshawn yelled running towards me.

I tried to talk but I only coughed up blood making it hurt more than it already was. My vision went completely black and I couldn't hear anything anymore.

*Oh fuck..* I thought to myself

~~~~

The only thing I remember is being carried out my office. My eyes fluttered open and the bright lights made my head burn like a bitch. I could barely feel my body, doctors in blue scrubs surrounded me with medical tools and started cutting my clothing.

"26 year old female Priah Nicole Alejandra, bullet wound to the stomach and severe blood loss"

They placed a oxygen mask over my face and I knew right then and there  I had to fight, cause this wasn't about to be the end.

Its been mad long since I updated so I wanted to make it as interesting as possible for y'all🫣
