Tainted : A Song For Love

Chapter 3- Bones

Samantha's POV

I've been ignoring messages from everyone for the last two days. I just wasn't in the mood to talk to my friends because my work load was too much.

For some reason I became overwhelmed and felt like I was under too much pressure at work. I sat in court for hours yesterday and I was so drained after I left.

I decided to finally check my messages and of course my friends were looking for me.

Chany's Chat

Chany: Sam I'm going over shortly.

Me: ok.

I needed someone to talk to and I didn't want to be on the phone. Ten minutes later she was at my front door.

She came into the house with food and drinks for both of us. I was glad, being that I was really hungry but I didn't want to cook and I didn't want to order food.

"You want the curry chicken or fried chicken?" She asked.

"Mix it nuh" I said.

Chany was older than I was. She didn't work, she just kept parties plus her boyfriend gave her whatever she wanted. To me she had it so easy. Sometimes I was jealous of her freedom and her carefree lifestyle.

Many times I think I could be doing the same but no, I wanted to have ambition.

"What's wrong with you?" She asked.

I didn't like to complain but now I had no other choice but to get everything off my chest.

"I hate work, I hate this place, I miss my mom and I am just tired of everything." I got everything out there, I was really tired for real.

She handed me the toad and a cup of juice. "You need to relax and have some fun. You are putting too much on your head, "she said.

I took a bite out of the chicken and that's when I realized she had saved my life with this food.

"Maybe you're right," I said with my mouth filled with food.

"Not maybe, I am right. You used to be fun, what happened?" She asked.

I think I got really reserved after the shit bug Jason ripped my chest open and ate my heart, I swore he ate it, that's the only way I could put it.

My doorbell rang. I wasn't expecting anyone. Now I was greatly agitated. We lived in a gated community so it had to be someone who lived around here.

"Must one of my fathers combolo dem," I said.

I placed the food down and walked to the door trying my best not to show my true feelings.

I open the door and my features change instantly.

Why me?

"You mouth oily eeh, chicken back yah eat?" He asked and burst out into laughter.

Nick whatever his last name was. He looked past me to see Chany sitting on the couch.

"Can I help you?" I asked.

"Nuh bada come hype pon me. I'm here to drop off something for your father." He said.

He didn't even have anything in his hands.

"He is not here, next time you can call before you show up."

"He called me and told me he was on his way so I could come since I have somewhere to

be. a who you man?"

"Excuse me?" I said.

"How yuh suh hype?" He asked.
