I walked inside of Janet's salon since I knew it was closed and that she'd be there working on her office work.
I walked towards the back seeing her going through her paper work.
"You had me worried last night. I tried to wait up for you so we could talk" I said.
"I'm tired of talking Trevante" She said.
I looked at her for a moment and said "I love you Janet. I don't think I've ever loved anything as much as I love you and Ivory. But you need time. And I think the only way I can help you is by moving out for a while. Now that damn sure doesn't mean that I wanna break up or anything like that, I just need you to love me and want me the way you used to."
She sat her papers down, and rubbed her face.
"Don't you have anything to say?" I asked her.
"I think that's a great idea. Move out." She said.
I just looked at her before nodding my head and I sighed.
I feel like she's lowkey taking it too far, I know I lied and fucked up but damn.
I was expecting her to not want me to move out.
"Alright." I said before walking towards the front of the salon so I could leave.

Soon as Trevante left the salon, I held my stomach and just bursted into tears.
I've been a wreck ever since the incident. I don't think they understand the way the situation took a toll on me.
I'm 7 months pregnant and I was thrown in a closet, mouth taped, hands tied, with no help.
All because my man and my best friend wanted to do some money scheme.
And it's even worse because Trevante doesn't need to do that, he has a whole acting career but it's like he doesn't wanna let that life go or something.
I don't know.
All I do know is it's good that he moves out so I can get some space. That's what I need.
The PTSD from all the bullshit is beyond wild at this point.
I wiped my tears and just put my head down, because now I definitely felt a headache coming my way.
My phone started ringing and I looked, not recognizing the number and I answered saying "Hello?"
"You have a collect call from the California correctional facility, would you like to accept the charges?"
Mickie.
"Tuh. Hell nah!" I said before hanging up the phone.

TREVANTE POV
"Hey, how's everything at home?" Mickie asked me as she sat across from me.
Had to visit her today to give her this news.
"Not good. She won't even look at me, it's like she's disgusted by me. She slapped me out my sleep the other night and-"
"Wait wait- For real?" Mickie said.
"Yep." I said.
She sighed.
"Trevante im sorry for dragging you into this. I know she's pissed at me but I hate that she's pissed at you too." Mickie said.
"It's coo, it's my fault. I chose to join. But that's what I came here to talk to you about" I said.
"What?" She said.
"I'm stepping out of that. I can't be involved wit you and Dacarto's shit no more." I said and her eyes widened.
"Trevante we need you, you can't back out now!" She said.
"I can and I will. It's cost me too much. I almost lost my girl cause of this shit. She was fuckin kidnapped Mickie don't you get it? She could've got killed and that alone should make you wanna step out and stop this. Plus you could get extra years in here if you get caught. You got three months left, do you really wanna fuck that up?" I said.
"You cannot back out of this shit Trevante. We all made a deal." She said.
"Are you listening to what the fuck I'm saying?" I asked.
"Yes i am and you sound ridiculous!" She said.
"I sound ridiculous? Mickie you still wanna do this shit when you're locked up already for it and your best friend almost got killed while pregnant. You're the one that sounds not only ridiculous but selfish as well. And I'm the stupid one for joining in on it when I'm already well off in my career. I'm done wit it Mickie, I'm already in the dog house with my girl and I just wanna make shit right wit her before our baby gets here. That's my concern. And yo concern should be getting out of here. Not doing something that can keep you in here." I said before standing up.
She didn't say anything, she just looked away and shook her head.
"Best of luck Mickie." I said before leaving out of the jailhouse, walking to my car.

JANET POV
I stepped out the bathroom after my shower, and I had the towel wrapped around me and I seen Trevante walk in here.
He stopped in his tracks and said "Sorry- I should've knocked"
"It's fine, it's fine. I got the towel around me" I said.
"Look, I'll move out tomorrow night" He said.
"Okay." I replied and he sighed.
"I uh.. Went to see Mickie" He said.
"Should I pretend to be surprised?" I asked.
"I told her I was done wit that shit aight? Done wit the money laundering scheme. It's not worth it to me. I know I decided this shit kinda late but it's better late than never right?" Trevante said.
"Why did it take me getting kidnapped for you to realize that? I told you and Mickie way before hand that it was gonna cause trouble." I said.
"And you were right. And I'm sorry. I love you Janet and I wanna make it all right, especially before our lil man gets here." He said.
I looked at him before nodding my head because I really didn't know what else to say to that right now.
"I gotta get changed." I said grabbing my night clothes and he just watched me go back in the bathroom.
