DESTINY
3 weeks later

As time went on, I began to get home sick. Everything felt like it was somehow coming together, but also falling apart. College life for me is going so well though. My professors are impressed with my work ethic, I've been thinking of joining the majorette team, and I been actually thinking more about starting this job at a high end call center along with starting me and Nelli's hair business.

On the other hand, Tyree and I still weren't on the same page, Rello and Nelli been on odds but slowly but surely, they were coming back together for the sake of her health, all while I was just beginning to feel alone... I know, it's crazy to seem alone when the main reason is because of a boy in a man's body... but I know what satisfies me and what I'm used to.

Tyree and I never got to talk about our situation. Instead, he'd woken up before me and left without saying a word. I'd texted him once more after that but never got a response. We haven't spoken since then, AGAIN. The shit had been hurting my heart everyday and the situation just kept my mind wondering, what's next? Ever since then, I been cooped up in my room completing papers and projects for school. Shit, I'm completing my psychology paper now, with 2 more pages to go. Just then, Nelli knocked on my room door interrupting my thoughts.

"Hey bae, you good?" She asked through the door. I sighed because my answer was always the same but I never expressed it to her. I never wanted her to feel like she's the reason I'm not mentally here anymore nor enjoying my time here Clark Atlanta. That's my bitch but I don't want to add anymore stress to her.

No, I'm not fine and I wanna go the fuck home where it's safe and my peoples at for real.

"Yea I'm cool bae, and you can come in what the hell?" I said laughing a bit. She came in with some Ice cream, snacks, and a blunt. This bitch Is really my speed and that's why I love her. It be the little things that matter that'll let me know somebody cares and also notices the mood swings.

"Awwnn bitch you shouldn't have." I smiled and gave her a hug.

"Yea yea, I just stopped at the store before I got here to pick you up a lil sum sum." She said back laying all the snacks on the bed.

"Thank you boo." I said. "But lemme put this in the freezer, imma get back to that fasho." I said leaving the room and into the kitchen. I returned back to the room and Nelli was lighting the blunt. I laid back on my bed next to her but she motioned for me to sit back up. Umm??

"It's something on the bed or sum?" I asked looking under and around me. She took a hit of the blunt and looked at me seriously. Oh nahhh...

"Nelli what's going on..?" I asked now looking at her seriously.

"Ight.. I don't want you getting riled up and shit. I don't want you to be scared.." Nelli trailed off. Scared? Scared of what? "I remember Damien face and I'm not stupid-" She continued but I cut her off.

"Bitch stop... what the fuck are you talkin bout? What the fuck happened while you was out?" I asked adjusting myself more to look at her. She took a deep breath and took two hits of the blunt before passing it to me. Shidd I took a large hit too cus what the hell we finna get into? Real spill.

"I seen Damien with Wayne at the Publix I went to... I don't know what the fuck going on, but It seem like some back door shit to me." Nelli said and my mouth dropped. I hit the blunt again and got to thinking. "I just had to get the fuck outta there cus I didn't know what the fuck It really was." Nelli added.
