I rolled over knocking over a few paint cans. Yes I have been sleeping in the closet at work

Mi fraid fi go home and dem ppl yere have one a di best alarm system so why not take advantage of it.. dem take money out a mi pay every month fi 'building maintenance' and dem sumn deh

I felt around on the floor for my phone and couldn't find it

"oh mi did plug it in out ina di office area" I said to myself. I got up to my feet adjusted my clothes and opened the closet door

" A whofaa phone dis?" I heard someone ask in a distant

I quickly walked out and went to the front where I picked up my phone and charger

"Shantina?, I am utterly suprised to see you here this early" Doctor Vue said

I rolled my eyes and walked out towards the door. Mi still have ptsd when mi go down a di lot even though it happen two weeks, three days, 8 hours and 7 minutes ago but who's counting

I walked down the stairs leading towards the parking lot and I could hear the gun shots echoing even though no shots were being fired

I was now at the final turn to where the cars were and I heard a voice like Malachi calling my name

"Shantina"

"Shantina"

Dem ptsd effect yere a get too real, the voice kept sounding as if it was coming closer and closer and leaned against a wall as I slid to the floor.

"No, no no, mi nuh do yuh nth stop call mi" I yelled as I held my head between my legs

"Shantina" I heard the voice saying louder it sounded as if Malachi was infront if me calling me. I opened my eyes and looked at the 5ft bitch standing infront of me.

My heart began to rush and my lungs felt as if it was sinking lower and lower in my chest. A kill him come fi kill again

I rushed towards the cars and he held onto me. I tried fighting him and screaming... but as neiks would a seh nobody down yere a underground and nobody nah guh hear yuh or see yuh again if nth happen

"Shantina" he said darkly, and I stopped fighting

"Wah di fk yuh want yute?" I asked trembling like a leaf

"Mi know yuh hear mi and wah mi did seh bout how much mi want yuh dead but mi did jus affi play mi part. Mi luv yuh" he said as he released me

I could see in his eyes that he was sorry and what he was saying was true.. but can I blv him? Man a wikid. Dem nuh good and if mi eva go trust him mi would a be a claffy of the highest fking order

But once again love or whateva tf dis mi a feel fi dah bwoy yah mek mi heart and body weak to him.

"Ok, I know you love me" I said as I hugged him "Who else can I trust?"

Our hug was interupted by my phone's ringtone I let go off him and answered the call

"Hello?"

"Speaker" Malachi whispered and I placed the phone on speaker

"Is this Shantina Evans?" the lady asked

"Yes it is" I answered

"I think you might want to sit down while I deliver this news to you"

Raas

A who dead

"Your cousin, Giovanni Evans was killed in a shoot out here in Flankers today"

The phone fell from my hands as I stood there numb, not feeling a thing bcz a mus prank dis a joke ting?

"Miss Evans?" I heard the lady ask but I couldn't move myself to answer the call

"Thank you" Malachi said as he picked up the phone and hung up

" Shan" he said as he tried comforting me

"We aguh find out who do dis yere and mek dem pay" he said as I cried in his arms

Gio was like my brother he was the closest thing to a brother that I had growing up he is, well was 2 years older than me and always protected me while growing up whenever he visited me during the holidays here in Red Hills.

"He wasn't involved in any drugs or gangs so I don't know who would do something like that to him" I cried

"Wi aguh find out who dweet yuh nuh hear mi " he said with a whole lot of confidence

"How? wid yuh gunmn fren dem?" I asked as I lifted my head from his chest

"Relax nuh yute, by any means necessary" he assured me

"okay" I said as I placed my head bk on his chest

"Why do you love me?" he asked and I leaned up off his chest as he stared into my eyes

"I just do, I have always liked you from we were kids and now I can say that I rlly do love you with all of my heart, mind and body" I said as I looked into his eyes

I saw a tear run from his eye as he reached for something from behind him

"Close your eyes" he said and I did just that

"Open"

My eyes were met with a Glock 24 which the love of my life pointed to my head

Mi fall fi him fkry again and him ready fi kill mi..

Well atleast a smaddy mi rate aguh kill mi

"Call yuh sadamite fren and tell har fi come meet yuh yere suh"

I trembled as I took the phone which he handed to me, I dialed Neika's number and waited for her to answer

"Yuh betta mek sure shi ansa"
