Rihanna's P.O.V

It's been 3 days now since the gut-wrenching crime I committed, 3 days since I left my hometown, my belongings and my family. 3 days since I left my true identity. Here I am, in Harlem Residential changing myself, losing me. "So miss, what is your full name?" The lawyer seated in front of me requested and I hesitated.

What if he snitched, what if he told someone- anyone, heck I didn't even know if I was been searched for in Barbados right now. "Miss, like I said before, this process is strictly confidential. We do not publish or repeat what is said in this room. What happens in this room, stays in this room." He said, reassuring me as he saw the look of worry and guilt laced on my face. I smiled and nodded as I cleared my throat.

"Robyn, Robyn Rihanna Fenty."

He immediately jotted it down on her file papers and signed a few signatures then continued- "And what would you now like to change your name to?" I almost panicked. What on earth could I name myself, I'd known no other name but my own. Then I thought of my best friend back home, Melissa and I knew I just had to go with it, but maybe twisted so it wasn't too obvious. "Uh, Mel." I half panicked and he nodded, then jotted down the paper, I could see he was wondering why just Mel, I know I am too, but it was all in the second of the moment. God this is really pressuring. "Last name" He asked, as he looked back up at me. "Brendan." I legit just mumbled whatever fell off my lips and she typed it down. It's funny because I'm taking this lighter than I really should be, I mean for fvcksake this is the name I am now stuck with for the rest of my life, that's if I even live long enough to tell a soul my name.

"Sign here, and here and here. Oh and, seeing as you have just come to the country we'll supply you with some help both financially and shelter wise." My face lit up as I signed, fvck this lawyer had really come through for me, I honestly didn't know how I was going to accomplish shit after this but now I can finally be a bit positive.
