𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
I was lounging in the courtyard, the haze of my high making the world blur around me,
When my girlfriend stormed towards me, her eyes blazing with fury.
𝑮𝑰𝑹𝑳𝑭𝑹𝑰𝑬𝑵𝑫
Lisa! she screamed, her voice echoing off the brick walls.
𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
I looked at her, bewildered.
Why the hell are you shouting?
You look insane.
What happened to your face?
𝑮𝑰𝑹𝑳𝑭𝑹𝑰𝑬𝑵𝑫
That Rozonda chick! I don't know why you keep hanging around her.
𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
Chilli? No way.
She wouldn't.
You must have done something to her.
𝑮𝑰𝑹𝑳𝑭𝑹𝑰𝑬𝑵𝑫
How can you take her word over mine?
I'm your girlfriend, not her.
You're supposed to believe me, not her.
Look at what she did to me!
If you love me, you need to check her.
𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
Let me straighten this out, okay?
I said, getting up.
I needed to find Chilli.
𝑹𝑶𝒁𝑶𝑵𝑫𝑨 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑰 𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑺
I had just grabbed my things from my locker when suddenly, I was yanked into a janitor's closet.
Panic seized me as I spun around.
𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
My hands were around her throat, squeezing.
You made the biggest mistake putting your hands on my girlfriend!
𝑹𝑶𝒁𝑶𝑵𝑫𝑨 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑰 𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑺
I couldn't breathe.
My vision blurred.
Please... let go of me, I gasped when she finally released her grip.
𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
I don't appreciate you picking on my girlfriend like that.
Who do you think you are?
I snarled, punching her hard in the stomach.
𝑹𝑶𝒁𝑶𝑵𝑫𝑨 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑰 𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑺
I doubled over, groaning in pain.
I... I didn't!
She was talking about me staying away from her girlfriend.
She made it seem like we were flirting or something.
But I told her we weren't.
Now she's getting on to me for something I didn't do.
𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
Speak up! I barked, landing another punch.
𝑹𝑶𝒁𝑶𝑵𝑫𝑨 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑰 𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑺
I hit the ground, coughing, struggling for breath.
I'm telling the truth.
I didn't even see her... today.
𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
I don't give a flying fuck.
When she's tripping, you don't put your hands on her.
I paused, my voice lowering.
She what?
𝑹𝑶𝒁𝑶𝑵𝑫𝑨 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑰 𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑺
Look, Lisa, I haven't seen or talked to her today.
Come on, think.
You really think I would do that?
𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
Yeah? What do you mean by that? I demanded, my voice icy.
𝑹𝑶𝒁𝑶𝑵𝑫𝑨 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑰 𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑺
Your girlfriend doesn't like me.
She's trying to get you to jump me every chance she gets.
That shit is unfair.
Why me?
I said, holding my stomach.
𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
I paused, my mind racing.
Could it be true?
Was my own girlfriend pitting us against each other?
I'm sorry I choked you and punched you, I murmured, my anger dissolving into confusion.
𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
Damn feeling bad.
Here she goes again...
I muttered, rolling my eyes, but my heart pounded like a drum in my chest.
𝑹𝑶𝒁𝑶𝑵𝑫𝑨 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑰 𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑺
What? I asked, my voice trembling with a mix of confusion and lingering fear.
𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
Look, don't worry about it.
I took a deep breath, guilt flooding my veins.
I'm sorry I choked and punched you.
𝑹𝑶𝒁𝑶𝑵𝑫𝑨 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑰 𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑺
I looked away, my body still aching from the encounter.
It's alright.
I'll live, I whispered, though my eyes betrayed the storm of emotions inside.
𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
You going to class today? I asked, trying to sound casual, but my voice cracked.
𝑹𝑶𝒁𝑶𝑵𝑫𝑨 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑰 𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑺
Yeah, I guess.
I mean, that's why I came here-to make something of myself, I said, my voice gaining strength as I spoke.
𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
That's what's up.
I'll see you around, I said, but as I left the closet, a storm of emotions churned inside me, each step heavier than the last.
The corridor outside felt like a different world, one where the lines between love, loyalty, and violence blurred.
As I walked away, I knew this was far from over.
𝑹𝑶𝒁𝑶𝑵𝑫𝑨 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑰 𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑺
I watched her leave, my heart aching more than my bruises.
I couldn't shake the feeling that something was terribly wrong.
The way she looked at me before she left-it was as if she was hiding secret.
I had to find out what it was.
𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
Rounding the corner, I leaned against the cold concrete wall, fists clenched.
The memory of her pained expression burned into my mind.
I never wanted to hurt her, but the stakes were higher than either of us realized.
If I didn't play my cards right, we could both end up in more than just emotional turmoil.
𝑹𝑶𝒁𝑶𝑵𝑫𝑨 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑰 𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑺
Determined, I decided to skip class.
Instead, I followed him from a distance, my curiosity and concern overpowering my fear.
I had to know what he was involved in.
𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
I felt her presence behind me, a shadow that mirrored my own turbulent emotions.
She was getting too close to the truth, a truth that could shatter everything.
I quickened my pace, heading toward the abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of campus.
It was time to confront my demons head-on.
𝑹𝑶𝒁𝑶𝑵𝑫𝑨 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑰 𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑺
I trailed him to a secluded area, my heart racing with adrenaline.
The warehouse loomed ahead, a dark and foreboding structure that seemed to pulse with hidden danger.
As he slipped inside, I hesitated for a moment before steeling myself and following him in.
𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
Inside the warehouse, the air was thick with tension.
I heard the creak of the door and knew she was there.
I turned to face her, my heart a battlefield of conflicting emotions.
Chilli, you shouldn't be here.
𝑹𝑶𝒁𝑶𝑵𝑫𝑨 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑰 𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑺
Tell me what's going on, Left-Eye.
I deserve to know, I demanded, my voice strong despite my fear.
𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
You don't understand, I said, my voice trembling.
It's not safe for you.
There are things you don't know, things that could get you killed.
𝑹𝑶𝒁𝑶𝑵𝑫𝑨 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑰 𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑺
Then help me understand, I pleaded, stepping closer.
Don't shut me out.
I care about you too much to let you face this alone.
𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
Her words pierced through my defenses, and for a moment, I considered telling her everything.
But the risk was too great.
Chilli, please.
Just go back to class.
Forget you saw anything.
𝑹𝑶𝒁𝑶𝑵𝑫𝑨 𝑪𝑯𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑰 𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑺
No, I said firmly, my resolve unshakable.
I'm not leaving without you.
𝑳𝑰𝑺𝑨 𝑳𝑬𝑭𝑻-𝑬𝒀𝑬 𝑳𝑶𝑷𝑬𝑺
In that moment, I knew there was no turning back.
I reached out and pulled her into a fierce embrace, our shared warmth a brief solace in the coldness of our reality.
Alright, I whispered.
But stay close.
This world is darker than you can imagine.
As we ventured deeper into the warehouse, the shadows seemed to close in around us.
The truth was a dangerous game, and we were both about to find out just how high the stakes really were.
