"Hurry the fuck up. I don't got all day" Jeremy said to me. I just a little not knowing her was so close to me.
"Nah he can take his time, I don't want my hair to be messed up. This my real hair" Karama said while touching her hair. I wanted to cut every piece of strand in her hair.
"Can you stop moving and touching your hair, I have this hot comb in my hand" I asked her nicely, she just looked at me before rolling her eyes.
"Why don't you have any food in here" Jeremy asked me while shutting my refrigerator.
"You only give me $50 a month out of the money I make from doing hair.That doesn't last long." I said with a slight attitude. I was almost finished with this girls hair.
"Well you need to slow the fuck down eating. And are you getting smart with me" Jeremy said while making his way to me. I put the hot comb down and walked to the other side of Karama just incase he tried something I had some time to run.
"No... no I was just saying. $50 out of $1,600 isn't much to survive in this world" I said while looking down at my shoes.
"You better be lucky I give you that much. If it was up to me I wouldn't even give you a dollar bill, more like 50 cents" Jeremy said making a little sad. My eyes began to tear up, I tried to blink the tears away.
"Okay J, that's a little mean don't you think. I mean I'd be mad too if I was making money and only got $50. That's insane, that would never be me" Karama said.
"You shut up and go out your clothes on so we can go. And Tae you will be tagging along with us today. But I better not hear shit come from you unless, I'm asking you a question. Do you understand" Jeremy said to me and I nodded my head.
"Go wash your face." He said and I ran past him to my room, shutting the door behind me. I went inside my bathroom and turned the water on so it can get cold. I applied some soap to my face and began rubbing it into my skin, I grabbed my rag so I could wash my face off.
"HURRY THE FUCK UP" Jeremy yelled as he opened my bedroom door. I took a deep breath before exhaling it. I walked out of my room, I grabbed my bottle of lotion putting some in my hands and I put the lotion on my face.
"You just think you all that. You ain't shit. All you good for is doing hair" Jeremy said to me and I tried to block what he was saying out.
"I'm ready" I said while facing him, I'm assuming he was looking at my outfit.
"Let's go. And remember keep your fucking head down and lips closed" Jeremy said before turning around exiting my room, I followed behind him, closing the door behind me. We walked down the hall to the door, where Karama was standing waiting on us.
"About time, the fuck was y'all doing" she asked but Jeremy walked past her out the door. She followed behind him and I followed behind her, locking my apartment up. We walked down the stairs towards his car.
"Tae sit in the front" Jeremy said and I walked over to the passenger side about to open the door, but it was instantly shut back. I looked up and Karama was staring me down.
"You think my man wants you. Well I'm letting you know he doesn't. He is just getting back at King for taking what was his. After this is done, you are going to be a nobody and I will have your life" she said while smiling in my face.
"Let's fucking go" I heard Jeremy yell through the window as Karama moved her hand so I could open the door. I finally got in his car, I sat all the way back in my seat. The song In My Mind by Heather Headley played through the speakers. My mind drift off to King. I miss my old miss my old life, my friends, and my family. I was once free and now it just feels like I'm stuck at the bottom of an ocean and can't get up. I miss the feeling of being loved, I miss the feeling of laughing.
"The fuck is you crying for nigga" I heard Jeremy say snapping me out of my thoughts. I didn't even know I was crying.
"He thinking about King. I bet you" Karama said.
But in my mind, I'll always be his girl, They'll say if you love something, you've got to let it go, And if it comes back then it means so much more. But if it never does, at least you will know, That is was something you had to go through to grow.
"Fix your fucking face. Before I bust you in your damn face" Jeremy said to me. I tried to wipe my face, but the tears kept coming down.
"Dionte!!" Jeremy said as we made it to a red light.
"I'm sorry. I'm trying to stop the tears. I promise" I said softly. My throat began to hurt. It felt like I couldn't breathe, everything was closing in on me.
"Just wait until we make it to where we need to be. You gonna wish you weren't crying" Jeremy said to me.
"No... I'm sorry" I said loudly the best I could.
"Just shit up cry baby ass nigga" Karama said and I did as told. I closed my eyes and leaned my head back on the seat and tried to calm myself down. My baby.... Smileeeeee. I could hear King's voice in my head. .............
"Wake your ass up, we here" I heard Jeremy say to me, while hitting my leg. I rubbed my eyes, trying to adjust them as I looked around.
"Where are we" I asked.
"Don't ask no questions and remember what I said. Keep your head down and don't answer to nobody unless I say you can" Jeremy said to me and I nodded my head. I took a look around before I put my head down, Jeremy came and opened my door so I could get out. Once we was out, we was just standing outside his car.
"Are you gonna put that on him" Karama said but I didn't know what he was talking about.
"Yep" Jeremy said while grabbing something out of a bag.
"Has he even been trained with that" Karama said making me a little nervous because I didn't know what he was talking about.
"Nope. But it's a first for everything" Jeremy said while facing me. I soon saw something that looked like a rope go around my neck, and I soon realized it was a collar. Once it was around my neck, he tightened it.
"It hurts" I said softly while reaching for it but I was popped in the hand.
"You will be okay. Remember what I said" Jeremy said to me. He began walking while pulling me behind him, I tried to keep up but I couldn't.
"Get on your hands and knees. Keep up as well" Jeremy said and I heard Karama laugh a little. I really didn't want to.
"But I don't think that's safe, it's glass"
"The fuck did I say. You gonna make it worse you yourself" Jeremy told me. I slowly got on the ground, getting on my hands and knees.
"Now crawl" Jeremy said while he began to walk towards the building. It was wet stuff all on the floor, and shattered glass on the floor. I didn't like this at all. I decided to lift my head up a little bit, and I noticed it was other people that were in the same position I was in.
"Didn't he say keep your head down" Karama said and I quickly put my head down. We finally made it to a room, and it felt like hours.
"Well well we'll. Look who decided to show their faces. Long time no see" I heard a voice that sounded all too familiar but I couldn't put my finger on who it was.
