Taraji

What the hell is wrong with Fantasia. I tried my hardest to protect her. I kept her in a safe area where I felt she wouldn't get hurt but she just ran out. The minute she heard that Billy was here, nothing else crossed her mind. She's been trying to fix things since this all started, but she's gone entirely too far. I wish I could have caught her before she ran away from us.

We got a text from her letting us know that she was alright. I wanted to call her and cuss her out then for leaving us, but I have no idea what kind of situation she's in. I chased after the car as long as I could until I was stopped. The other two decided it was a good idea to just go back to our rooms and figure out what to do.

I'm sitting up in my bed wondering who I can call first. I thought of calling the detective, but I haven't heard of him being around lately. Reese walked into my room with blankets and a small black box. She came and sat next to me in the bed and put the items down in front of us. I pointed to them and she opened it. It was a pair of what I could tell were diamond earrings.

"What is this for?" I asked her. She didn't answer them and instead put them in my hands. "Reese."

"Yes?"

"What are these for? Is this a gift or something?"

"I have a crazy idea, and I mean crazy, but it's still an idea. I don't know if you'd be up to trying my idea out." Reese shifted next to me and gave me a concerned look. I stared into her eyes trying to understand what she was trying to say to me.

"What is it Reese, I'm really dealing with too much to play games right now." My statement was serious and slightly aggressive. I've been trying to calm myself down, but stuff like this wasn't going to help. The last thing I need is a distraction from getting to Fantasia.

"These earrings have trackers in them. If one of us were to wear these and go out to find her, we might all be able to figure it out. Another way is to put them in the pocket of a person who's going back and forth to where she is." Reese gave me a confusing and alarming smile. I stood up from the bed and rubbed my head. I sighed and went into the closet. "Please answer me, Taraji. I want her back as much as you do. None of us have any idea what to do, so you've got to hear me out."

"Reese, I'm getting tired of this." I went back to her.

"Of what?"

"Of you always being into stuff but never having anything to put in. Every time there's a problem, you're just there. You just know how any and everything happened, but you never know how to find a solution. You're always the one to instigate something, but you never want to actually find a way to fix it. Aren't you miserable right now? You have no drama in your own life that you're so ready to hear about drama going on around you, but you never have anything to add. This is a stupid fucking idea Reese. Where the hell did you even get these things? How did you get them and why are they just with you right now? If I wasn't too stressed about this right now, I'd look into your spotty ass life."
