"Did you know?"

"I heard his comment about Rachel at the party, but I didn't know about the DM's" West replies

I nod slowly whilst closing the fridge

When I had got back downstairs I could hear CJ and Archie arguing, he was mad at CJ for telling Blair about the situation but he couldn't give the slightest of fucks. I don't know what's gotten into Archie recently but I told him to get out of my house, it was only then that he decided he wanted to speak to Indiah but she didn't even want to see his face so eventually he left.

CJ went to go talk to the girls so as of now it's just me and West in the kitchen.

"I'm probably gonna hang with B and Indi afterwards so do you wanna do a little bit of work?"

"Sure"

We just decided on Math since it's probably the quickest subject to do, he had gotten a pen from his bag but left the zip slightly open. It was enough for me to see what was in his bag, and when I had gotten a look I froze.

"What's wro-

He stops talking once he realises that I can see what's in there, "Shit"

West immediately closes the zip but I'm still frozen, and now I feel nauseous. "Why do you have that."

"Sorry I wasn't meant to-

"Why"

"Someone gave it to me to have it cleaned, I was meant to give it to them before I came but I-....hey you ok?"

My palms are sweaty and I feel like I can't breathe, oh my God I can't breathe.

I pull the trigger as soon as I hear Treyvon end his countdown, his shirt starts to soak up with blood and he immediately drops to the floor.

It won't stop replaying inside my head

"Amariah", I hear an echoed voice

"Amariah", a hand rests on my arm and I flinch as I snap back into the present moment

"What? Don't touch me"

West looks at me carefully, "What's wrong?"

"Get that out of my house"

"I will-

"Now"

"Are you sure you're ok?-

"Get out, please" I stress

I was really trying not to stress and be dramatic but how on earth are you gonna bring a gun to someone's house? And since when did he start cleaning guns for people?

"Alright", West eventually replies

That was that, he left momentarily with CJ. I didn't actually want to be left alone but I was telling everyone to leave me be anyway, Indiah and Blair refused to go though because they could see that something was wrong.

I stayed in the corner of the kitchen, sat on the floor feeling absolutely crazy. No matter what I just couldn't move, nothing was getting rid of the flashbacks, I tried closing my eyes and thinking about something else but it wasn't working.

I don't know how much time passed but I soon heard more voices

"Where is she?"

"The kitchen, she won't move. We tried to calm her down but she's agitated"

"Ree? Baby it's me" I hear my mothers soft voice as she crouches in front of me

She takes my trembling hand, "I'm gonna need you to breathe ok?"
