The Blaze Before Dawn

The Realization

What the fuck!? I got up as my head rested on Rome's chest. I rushed into the bathroom and rinsed my face. I can't be caking, I really have to leave Rome alone and be to my God damn self!

I walked back into my room as I tried not to cry. I had slightly shook Rome. He woke up and his Green eyes Turned so bright.

"I can't do this Rome." I said as I shed a tear.

"What can't you do?"

"You...I don't want any of this." I cried.
He put on his shoes.

"I don't understand why Blaze. I'm not about to keep playing this tit for tat with you."

"I don't want to be bothered with at all, I just want to be left alone."

"That's all I needed to know." He said with a nasty stare. "That cold hearted persona you got ain't gone do nothing but make you miserable. Goodbye B."

"I already am." I said after he shut the door. And now my weak ass crying again. It hurt to see him leave, it hurt so bad. But pain and hurt was my life.

Rome

"She's broken behind repair." I told my sister Kailyn as we say at my house.

I thought I could make Blaze be ok. I planned on making her the happiest woman in the world because she deserves it and I love that girl. But she's ice now. Looking at Kailyn, I could never imagine losing her. I lost my father to the streets but I still had my mother and sister, and even Blaze. But Blaze didn't have that immediate family love.

Is the old Blaze long gone? She's so beautiful man.

"She'll come back around. But you gotta give her some time. She feels something with you and so many of her loved ones were taken from her so na she scared to get close to anyone or feel anything." Kailyn said re twisting her locks.

I can't leave Blaze alone but Kai made sense. I gotta keep my distance and let her sort things out mentally. But if she ever needed a shoulder to cry on, she knows my number.

Blaze

Tykira and Vick only came around for the funeral and never talked to me again so I trust no one, and didn't fuck with nobody. So Sylvia has lost her damn marbles if she think I'm about to work with somebody.

"My only partner was Blaire and that's it. I don't trust nobody and I ain't working with nobody."

"You have no clue what Randy Otis is capable of."

"He has no clue what I'm capable of. Look, no disrespect but this is my revenge for my sister."

Sylvia sipped her tea and leaned back.

"Darling, I care for you too much. This operation is going to get messy and you'll need an extra hand."

Sylvia was very convincing and she knew how to get what she wanted.

"Whatever Syl. She can be back up, but nobody's killing Randy but me."

Ten minutes later a light skinned hippy looking girl entered the room. She had a hoop nose ring, and she looked about 5'7 in comparison to my 5'5" and tatted like a biker and beautiful might I add.

"Kelani, this is Blaze, Blaze Kelani. The two of you have been working for me about the same amount of time."

We shook hands and she smiled widely and I slightly did. I wasted no time discussing how we were going to snipe people who walked out of Randy Otis' club.
