ALL ALONE.

Nov, 13. Thursday, 1pm.

I texted Lai some hours ago, but my text never went through. I thought It was horrible service until I texted again and it never went through. She blocked me. Well damn. I ain't goin' out sad though, I can surely redeem myself. Instead of going straight home I went towards Black Empire, this time I won't bring a gun and if they deny me oh well I guess I truly am done for.

"She'll never.. Love a nigga like you," he wheezed, clutching his bloody abdomen. My chest heaves, I can't stand for women to be abused, but I know I let it happen right in my face. The guilt isn't going away anytime soon. I toss my pistol to the side, get on my knees, and just start throwing punches taking all my anger out on him.

Pulling into the parking lot contemplating if I should just stay away until court or just say fuck it. Whatever. I snatch my keys and walk inside.

"Sir, we can't have you enter unless you've been called or you've been asked for. You check neither of those boxes," the same officer from yesterday told me.

"Let 'em in. He's with me." A guy wearing black attire came from behind gesturing me to come towards him. I gave him a smirk walking past him. Seems like I've checked something. Why the hell did someone even let me in though? Have I done some other shit I can't remember..

"Tesfaye, I'm Mr Pho." He held his hand out. Tall black guy with waves and a smile brighter than my future. They were definitely veneers, but he wore them well.

"You can just call me Abel sir." I took his hand.

"Then call me Cypher. Come on over here and let's get you where you need to be." Following behind him to the elevators, we entered and I turned around to a mean mug. "Ms Lubahn or Ms Reighn?"

"Lai'Yomae," I answered. It didn't feel right saying her last name. I just knew it'd leave an odd feeling on my tongue for a while. I was about to question how he knew me, but that might've been stupid given the fact they literally have me in their system. It's possible people I don't even know know exactly who I am and what I did.

We made it to that floor and walked down to her door. There was a knock, but a muffled "I'm busy" came from the other side. Cypher swiped his card announcing himself upon entrance. She had a surprised look on her face. "Abel wants to speak to you." He gave me a nod and left her and I alone.

She went right back to being hostile after the click sounded from the door closing. I waited for her to acknowledge me, but she stood there, leaned against her desk waiting for me to speak. "I didn't bring a weapon. I'm genuinely sorry. I'll do anything."

"You should be. Now what you can do is stay out of this building. I never want to see you here again." Her folded arms went down at her side resting on her desk. I noticed a baggy with some blue pills. They look a lot like Molly it's real weird given the fact she declined Krystal's offer so quickly. "Now let's get you out of my face." She came over guiding me back towards the elevators.

Entering the house there was a familiar face; Lisa. She's mad, but I genuinely don't give a shit. Nobody has about how I've felt, so why should I care about them? I don't need anybody. Heading into my room I started grabbing my other things and packing them, I didn't bother getting anything out of the car. Not sure where I'll go, but it won't be here.

"What happened to you never leaving my side?" I heard from behind me. Her body pressed against my backside, arms wrapped around my waist. I froze up.

"I never left you. You left me. You were supposed to find out the results with me. You just so happened to be nowhere found." My throat was about to give out on me as if I had no right to say or feel any kind of way. Especially after what I put her and everyone else through.

"Unt uh. I didn't, my boyfriend got drunk and was at my sister's house, I went to go make sure nothing was going down. You know how he gets, Lauren may not be scared of him, but she doesn't know what he's capable of." My body got a little warmer. I hate that she hasn't bothered to break up with him. I can just see it now. Here lies the body of our beloved Lisa Chanel Monae. I can't be captain save everybody right now though, I gotta save myself first.

"Well I'm sorry. I'm just stressed, got court and shit tomorrow, I may be going to jail. Couldn't even fix what happened with Lai." My life is becoming a complete mess and I'm not sure I'll escape any of my past without facing it in the present.
