"Yeah man a it dis love yuh like life" he said looking me dead in my eyes.
"Love you too" I said as tears brimmed my eyes.
I really love him, I can't let him leave me at this point.
"Bye" I said looking up at him.
"Nah guh weh fi long Lee stop eh ba...

I woke up in a room, that I was quite familiar with, not so much but I been here before.
After the call yesterday, I couldn't function properly.
I couldn't eat, I had to cry myself to sleep, I couldn't do anything without remembering that they took my heart away from me.
She nuh dead eno
I know but, I miss her so much.
I walked to the bathroom, emptied my bladder and walked over to the sink to wash my hands.
Taking a look in the mirror, I realized that I looked a mess.
My hair was messy, tears stained my face and bags were under my eyes.
It's a miracle that they got me to sleep, after the screaming and crying, it was bound to happen though.
I miss my baby though.
There's something wrong in my circle though, there were only a few persons who knew where she lived.
Not even her own parents knew, so that only means there's something wrong with my circle and or someone was following her.
Her place is also always secured, not because she's dating in the circle, but because she's in relation with us.
That's how we operate, protect the one's around us.
I can't swear for anybody because you may never.
"They say you should expect the unexpected, so the unexpected should always be expected and remember it's who you least expect it from princess, okay?" My father's words rang in my ears over and over again.
It's who you least expect it from.
It's who you least expect it from.
It's who you least expect it from.
In times like these she would've known how to help me, the right words to say and how to put a smile on my face.
Gathering myself, I washed off my face and did my hair in a messy bun going downstairs to get something to eat.
"Morning" I mumbled walking pass my brother, who was just there staring out of space, with a spliff in his hand, one behind his ear and Zaza who was smoking.
My brother was a bit shaken up by the news but of course he didn't make it evident, the only reason why I know is because I can see right through him.
Despite that he was there for me last night so right now I needed to be my strongest self for him.
At least that is what she would've wanted to see.
Smiling at the thought, I felt a single tear run down my cheek, and before I knew it there was a whole waterworks on my face.
I sobbed quietly until I started coughing and fighting for air.
I grabbed my asthma pump that was kept in the kitchen and took 3 pumps from it.
Breathe.
Strong arms hugged me and I tensed for a bit before I got comfortable, in my brother's embrace and took a deep breath, I didn't know I was holding.
Looking up I saw that it was indeed my brother, I pulled away quickly and he looked at me confused.
"I'm sorry for everything" I mumbled fidgeting with my fingers.
Why mi feel suh?
Because it's your time to be there for him.
"Annuh your fault bredda" was all he said before he hissed and walked away.
Sighh.
I took out a bottle of water from the fridge and a family sized red hot from the pantry.
I went back to the living room to see my brother staring out of space and Zaza sitting down on the single couch in the living room.
I walked over to my brother, sat beside him and hugged him tightly.
"She's gonna be okay" was all I could force out before I started crying too.
"It's who you least expect it from" I said in between sobs and all the attention was turned to me, once again.
"Weh yuh mean?" My brother spoke for the first time, since he heard the news.
"Daddy told me" I told him everything that our father would usually tell us and I got the sudden urge to tell them about the dream.
"I also had a dream- well a ni-" I sighed "I don't know to be very honest but it was something."
"Bout wah" they said simultaneously, sporting a confused look on both their faces.
I told them about the dream and they looked at each other and it's like they were speaking with their eyes and body language because they both got up and went in the direction of my brother's office.
My phone started ringing and I looked down a it.
"Marlondo!" I shouted.
He came to me as quick as possible and I gave him the phone.
