After last night I wasn't able to eat or sleep. Last night replayed like a movie over and over in my head. All I could think about was killing Walter. I never thought that he would do this to me. Then the fact that he threated to tell the cops about what happened a year ago made my stomach turn. If he goes down then he would do all he can to drag me down with him. I gotta get out of Compton. I was going to buy a plane ticket and live in New York and go by a different name. But I couldn't leave my family not like this and  I really didn't want to leave Eric behind. A knock at the door made me jump. I was so scared that I grabbed my strap. I was afraid that it would be Walter on the other side of that door. I looked through the peek hole and it was Shanita. I sighed as I relaxed myself. 

"Open the door heffa I know you home ! I see your car in the drive way!" she said

I needed to make sure I put on a good act so she wouldn't notice  something was up.

"Hey bitch !" I said putting a fake smile on my face as I opened the door

"Hey girl I brought us some donuts" she said coming in with a big white box in her hand "What you strap for ?" she said looking at my gun

"Thought you was somebody else"

"Somebody like who? Walter?"

"Yeah...."

"Girl fuck him come on let's eat"

I held the donut in my hand but I just couldnt bring myself to eat. My hands trembled as I put the donut back in the box.

"Yo you ok?" she asked

"Yeah I'm good just tired that's all... so have you talked to that dude you meet at the club?" I said changing the subject

"GIRLLLL let me tell you he came over my house the other day and girlllllll he fucked me so good I couldn't even walk the next day he said he has a friend for you" she said biting into her donut

"I don't need any new friends...plus I think I might have a friend anyway" I said smiling as Eric crossed my mind

"Ooooooooo girl tell me ! tell me!"

"Well you remember my neighborhood crush?"

"Yessssssssss"

"Well yesterday I helped him wash his car right ? and we....." I said biting my lip

"Ya'll what ?"

"Kissed"

"AHHHHHHHH" she squealed in excitement "Oh my god I know his lips was probably soft as fuck !"

"Girl that nigga's lips is soft as butter"

"You are a foo!!!!!"

"I know I know"

"Well I hope you don't have any plans for today because Eve After Dark is having a community picnic at the park and I think we should go"

"Sounds fun I need to get out"

"Good I'll be back here in a few I'm just going to change my clothes...you driving right"
