Ohani Franklin
Ohani laid in bed staring at the ceiling. She gripped her bed sheets as she shut her eyes tightly. He stomach was starting to hurt so bad.
She barely had strength because her body began breaking down muscle tissue in order to feed itself.
She made her way out of bed but she limped. She grew enough strength to make it downstairs.
She opened the fridge and grabbed the pack of grapes. She began eating quickly. She didn't want to stay down here and eat.
She ate lots of grapes ,drank more water , she even ate a piece of chocolate cake before grabbing a protein shake and heading back upstairs.
She was full now. Her stomach poked out so far she knew that her strength would be back at any moment now.
She didn't have a phone anymore. Not after she broke it. She just had a TV.
She sat in bed and looked down at her arms. The cuts were completely healed but some left scars that would not go away.
She climbed under the covers and turned her lights off. She closed her eyes and when she started hearing things and seeing things that kept her from sleeping, she prayed silently in her head.
That was all it took to give her a good night's peaceful sleep.
Now she was up and ready for school. She felt good about herself today. She slipped on her blue baggy jeans and a white long sleeved shirt under her black American psycho shirt with black and white vans before styling her hair into a high puff for now since she would do her hair when she got back from school.
She headed downstairs and finished the protein shake before she began making herself breakfast.

Ohani smiled a little then chuckled. "So you don't have a phone anymore? Then how am I supposed to talk to you?" Paige asked.
"I'll get one soon. I just have to get a job. I applied for footlocker on my MacBook and they scheduled an interview." She explained.
"Ohhh, so you gon be stealing the shoes?" She asked and Ohani laughed and shook her head no.
"You look so pretty I can't believe your mental." Paige spoke and Ohani furrowed her eyebrows before laughing.
"Paige don't say that to anyone else. And thank you?" Ohani chuckled. "Oh I'm sorry." Paige spoke.
"Have you seen Tyrell recently?" She asked. "No but my sister seen him on Instagram. Hes on house arrest right now but you know he's still finding a way to get out of the house." Paige explained.
Ohani sighed.
She hadn't talked to him since she seen the girl.

Ohani slid her shirt back on and Tyrell furrowed his eyebrows. "Why you so skinny shorty?" He questioned.
"Tyrell don't start. I'm not skinny, just got a flat stomach. I'll put on some weight." She spoke.
"Nah you don't have to.." he spoke. "Im just saying." His raspy voice spoke. He coughed as he blew smoke her way.
"Don't do that." She mugged as she sat on his lap. "I gotta be on this shit for a year." He explained.
"Well you kinda did shoot at somebody..your lucky." She explained. He shrugged. "I gotta get outta this shit." He spoke. "Tyrell please don't." She spoke.
"Cuz I gotta make sure you ain't cheating on a nigga. Cuz you be on bullshit." He spoke. "I'm the one that be on bullshit?" She asked with furrowed eyebrows as the doorbell rang. They both turned their heads that way.
"Oh shit let me go get that." He quickly stood up. "Who the fuck is that Tyrell?" She questioned walking behind him.
He held the blunt in between his lips after speaking. "Weed man. Chill out. Go sit down Ohani." He spoke.
"That ain't no fucking weed man " she crossed her arm and stood next to the door as he checked the peephole.
"Go to my room. It's niggas out here." He spoke. "you ly-" he cut her off. "No I'm not. Go upstairs ohani." He spoke growing irritated. She walked away and up to his room.
But she snuck right back downstairs and heard a females voice. She silently grabbed a knife and walked to the living room.
It was a short skinny lightskinned chick that wore cookie monster pajama pants and a black shirt. She was also clearly on house arrest but out of the house. Her dyed blonde hair was pulled up into a high puff but the hair was straight. Her face was nothing cute to Ohani.
"Who the fuck is this Tyrell?" She questioned. He turned around and spoke. "I told you to go to my fucking room shawty. And stop grabbing my knives and shit." He fussed walking closer to her but Ohani was also arguing with the girl.
"Girl who the fuck is you?" She mugged. Ohani mugged the girl. "hello?" The girl spoke. "bitch I'm his girlfriend. Who are YOU?" She questioned.
The girl just laughed. "you nigga be beating my back in." She spoke and crossed her arms. Ohani instantly slapped Tyrell.
"Thanks for the birthday gift daddy." She waved as she walked out. Now Ohani and Tyrell argued as the girl left. Ohani didn't know what had been chewing on her...
"I DONT CARE , YOU DON'T DO THAT YOU FUCKIN ADDICT." She shouted. "WHAT THE FUCK I SAY ABOUT CALLING ME THAT?" He questioned leaning down and getting in her face.
