Tamika POV

Feeling strong arms catch me before I fall, I regain consciousness but immediately start crying.

"Clover, this is not funny," I remark while sobbing on his shirt.

God please mek all a this just be a dream.

"Tamika, mi wouldn't joke 'bout that, especially to you of all persons, but mi really just want yuh fi prepare for the worst-case scenario because—"

"No! Nothing nuh do him, and I'll never believe that because he'd never do that to me," I cut him off and take a step away from him.

Dominic nah guh leave mi alone.

He won't.

So even if them can't find him, I know he's ok.

My vision becomes blurry from tears, and I begin crying even harder than before.

Stop bawl, nothing nuh do him.

As my chest tightens, I gasp slightly and take a step back to lean against the wall.

My body begins to tremble, and I take a deep breath while clenching my fist to calm down.

The last time I felt like this was in high school, when I had to move.

"Tamika?" Clover's voice is faint but I hear him.

It feels like I'm going to black out, so I raise my head up and look in the sunlight.

I can feel my head pounding and my heartbeat quickening as I struggle to keep calm.

"Clover, him soon come back," I say holding my stomach while the last time I saw Dominic resurfaces.

"Love you more than anything, always remember that,"

"Daddy loves you too,"

His words echoes in my Brian, and I rush back inside. Bev calls after me, but I don't respond; all I did was enter the room, shut the door, and fall in the center of the bed.

"Dominic stop playing with me, if nothing did happen to you mi would a feel it," I say to myself and then get up from the bed.

Mi a guh home.

.   .   .   .   .   .

Zipping my traveling bag, I throw the knapsack over my back and then lift the bag from the bed and walk downstairs.

"Tamika , you sure you want to go?" Bev asks, and I nod yes.

Mi nah stay here.

"Clover bring mi home," I tell him, and he doesn't question me since I'm glaring at him.

"Later Aunty," I say, then step through the door.

On the drive home, my mind goes blank for a couple minutes, until I fall asleep.
