Four Months Later....

"No tomatoes Reem" I reminded Kareem as I filled my Hydro with water, Me and Kareem always facetimed before work as we got ready well when we had shifts together

"I know mama" Kareem chuckled as he fixed us both sandwiches, Kareem made it his business to either fix us lunches or pay for our lunches. He made sure we both ate regardless

"Just making sure" I smiled as I put the lid over my hydro twisting it on tight I grabbed my phone walking to the front door grabbing my bag

"Okay handsome I'm leaving now" I opened the door walking out and turning around closing and locking it "Aight drive safe baby"

"You too" I looked down at my phone hanging up I jogged down the stairs walking to my car I opened  the door to the passenger side throwing my bag on the seat and my hydro

I closed the door turning around stopping in my tracks "You look good" Shawn spoke sending chills down my spine my stomach turned "What are you doing here" I asked calmly taking deep breathes my anxiety was rising

"I'm here to check on you"

"Hearin you getting new jobs and shit, that's real good Bk" I stepped to the side silently cursing myself my gun was in the car I needed to start carrying

"Shawn you need to go"

"But I've missed you" Shawn reached out to me I quickly dodge him "Don't touch me" I spoke sternly to him he chuckled shaking his head "Why actin different ma" Shawn tilted his head

I began to breathe heavier "You need to leave" My voice cracked Shawn smirked shaking his head "Look I know you miss me ma and I miss you so let's cut the bullshit"

"We can get a quick one in real quick" I frowned looking at Shawn in disgust "Hell no" I rolled my eyes walking away from him to the driver side I heard Shawn footsteps behind me I shook my head opening the car door

I felt a cold metal on my side, crazy ex amazing.

"Shawn" I took another deep breath "Shut the fuck up, look up" I quickly looked up my eyes beginning to water "Take off your pants" Shawn whispered tears began sliding down my face, this nigga was sick.

I sat still for a few minutes before I heard his gun click I unbuckled my pants Shawn got behind me,
I leaned my head against the car taking deep breathes

God please help me.

Immediately I heard tires screech causing me to quickly look up, I watched Kareem hop out the car causing me to sigh in relief

Shawn looked up seeing Kareem walk over to us, Shawn pointed his gun at Kareem

Kareem moved swiftly as he disarmed Shawn throwing him to the floor and punching him I gasped as I watched Kareem punch him over and over again

"Kareem" I spoke loud enough for him to hear me he gave Shawn one last punch "I told you the next time you came around my girl nigga I was gon kill you, you lucky she here right now" Kareem spat kicking him before he looked over to me Shawn laid on the floor in pain

"You aight, that nigga touch you?" I shook my head no as I felt more tears fall Kareem looked at me with soft eyes pulling me into a hug "You good mama, you good"

"She been quite all day man" Kareem looked back at Kari as he was on the phone with Rya "Just something wasn't sit right in my spirit" Kareem shook his head walking down the hallway

"Like I just kept feeling this heaviness in my chest, So I went to check on her seen the nigga behind her with a gun to her side"
