Material Girl

Material Girl (Chapter 15)

"He hired them," The detective said.

I was quiet.

I knew they were lying. Devonte didn't even know me back then. I just met him months ago. Did he?

I'm so confused. Even if he did how would they know. Why weren't the boys arrested?

Did he tell them anything else?

I couldn't take it anymore and got up. I opened the door and left.

Just like that.

I started running.

"Where is Devonte?" I thought. I looked around and seen a mysterious room in the back. I ran to it and attempted to open it.

The detectives were coming towards me and people were looking.

Shit!

I banged on the door. One of the detective opened it and before they could close it I ran in and stood there panting almost immediately after, there were other bangs on the door

I was in tears, sweaty, and had a few bruises.

I looked Devonte in the eyes.

The tension in the room was real.

They looked almost pitch black.

Almost cold and I sensed a bit a hurt. When he saw me he softened up a bit and I ran to him and hugged him.

I looked around at everyo-

Hold the fuck up what's Ice, Jordan, and Biggie doing here.

Just looking at them made me want to fight and before you know it I ran and started going ham.

Jordan pushed the shit out of me knocking my lungs out.

But I got right back up and beat that nigga up. Devonte got up to help me but was held back by one of the detectives.

Ice grabbed and threw me down harshly.

Devonte started fighting to get to me.

"Don't ever lay your fucking hands on my girl again!" He yelled getting ready to knock someone's head off.

"Bitch," I managed to get out.

The other detectives were let in and took me back.

I looked at Devonte one last time and put my index and middle finger together kissing them and then patting my heart twice to show I wasn't going to tell. I was loyal.

He did the same and with that I smiled.

Devonte's Pov

I watched them take Draya away. She looked at me one last time and did a little handshake sign thingy patting her heart.

I did it back.

That was all I needed to go on.

She smiled, for the first time since she came back.

"Listen, all this extra shit you and that bitch doing is unnecessary. Just confess to the shit and you good. You will get a few years though," Jordan said.

"Shut the fuck up," I said bluntly.

He had no right to talk.

"Excuse me?" He said getting close to my face.

"Shut.the.FUCK.up!" I repeated through gritted teeth.

He instantly grabbed my neck and started choking me.

I struggled to breath and remove his hands off my neck.

I was going to pass out.

Everyone just stared. I kneed him in the nuts and he fell over on the ground holding his balls.

I hesitated but got up. No one else made a move.

I walked out the room looking around cautiously.

I had to find her.

I saw a metal door and ran into it.

"Draya, let's go!" I slightly yelled causing her to jump and turn her head facing me.

"Go ahead leave but mark my words, yall WILL be back," One of the detectives stated.

I grabbed her hand and we walked out the room together.

I was pretty sure we smelt like shit and looked a hot mess, but we kept our heads held high until we walked out. I walked to my car.

I wonder where everyone else was. They were here before we got interrogated. I checked my phone

250 missed calls
371 text messages

Draya was so quiet. Neither of us said a word.

I started the car.

"Are you ok?" I finally asked breaking the ice.

"Yup!" She squealed.

"Can we get something to eat?" She asked happily.

I knew she was lying.

I pulled the car over into the McDonald's parking lot.

"Look we are going to have to talk about this sooner or later," I said sincerely.

"What is there to talk about?" She questioned dumbly smiling at me.

"Don't play dumb!" I exclaimed.

Her smiled quickly turned into a frown and she turned to the window again.

"Can we just talk about this when we get home?" She asked softly.

I grabbed her chin and turned her head facing mine.

"Yea, but you know there is going to be ALOT of questions. I don't want you to feel over pressured. If there is something you don't wanna talk about don't answer," I said looking in her eyes.

She nodded her head.

"I love you," Draya said sincerely.

"I love you too," I said smiling.
