"Hot Girl" by Megan Thee Stallion blasted through Robyn's headphones as she kept running, enjoying the sunshine and the peaceful moment without her kids around. The lyrics played, "I'm a hot girl, I do hot shit." Just as she was getting into her run, her phone started buzzing with an incoming call. She kept declining the call, not wanting anything to interrupt her time for herself and her run.

The phone kept ringing, and Robyn finally stopped, out of breath from her run. With a frustrated "What?" she answered, not even looking to see who was calling. "Robyn, I need you right now!" Psalm said urgently, sounding panicked.

Robyn rolled her eyes, still trying to catch her breath. "Psalm, I can't right now, I'm working out"

But Psalm was serious. "No, Robyn, I need you now! Look at the link I just sent you" he insisted, his voice full of urgency.

  Robyn paused, taking a glance at her phone and clicking on the link Psalm had sent her. The link opened to an article featuring a video of the famous professional football player in a heated altercation with his girlfriend, Aaliyah. The video showed Aaliyah repeatedly hitting and punching the player, who appeared to be trying to defend himself.

     However, the situation escalated, and the player's fists connected with Aaliyah's jaw. The video shows Aaliyah in tears and Psalm visibly annoyed as they get into a car and drive away.

The video already had a million views online.

"Psalm, what the fuck?!" Robyn said in shock and anger as she quickly turned off the video.

Psalm's voice was defensive on the other end. "I know, Robyn, but it's not what it looks like." But Robyn was confused, her mind on what she had just seen.

"I'm coming over now, we need to talk" she said before hanging up and heading to her car. As she got in her car, her mind was full of questions. Why would someone release that video now?

Robyn held up the phone, making Psalm watch the video over and over again. Her face showed her shock and anger. She couldn't believe he had lied to her, calling it just an argument when the video clearly showed them hitting each other. This was more serious than she thought. Psalm had already been accused of killing Aaliyah, and now this video being made public would make it easier to figure out the truth about Aaliyah's death.

"Psalm, you know what this looks like, right?" she said, putting the phone down. Psalm, getting frustrated with her replaying the video, he responded, "Yes, Robyn, damn."

Robyn crossed her arms, her voice getting louder with anger. "Psalm, you better start talking now. Did you kill that girl?" she asked. Psalm stayed quiet, not saying anything.

"Answer me, Psalm! Because right now, it's not looking good for you" Robyn warned, pointing to the video. Psalm rubbed his head, letting out a deep sigh. "I didn't mean to, Robyn. It was an accident."

Robyn turned to him, her eyes full of anger and pain. "An accident? Psalm, how can killing someone be an accident?" she shouted, her voice shaking.

  Psalm lowered his head in shame, his voice with anger as he tried to explain. "You don't understand, Robyn. You weren't fucking there. She was going to kill me, and either way, someone was going to die" he said.

Robyn's face softened as she listened to him, but her anger stayed. She still wanted answers. "How, Psalm? Tell me now. Cause right now, you're a murderer, and that's what the world sees you as. This video could bury you in jail, and everything you've worked for will be gone."

  Robyn was angry not just about what had happened, but because he hadn't been honest with her. She felt like he wasn't telling her the full truth, and that made her even more frustrated. The lies hurt her deeply, especially after everything.

"Psalm, you better start talking now!" she shouted again. She was giving him a chance to explain himself, to tell the full truth, and to finally come clean.
