I woke up, gasp for air and start rubbing my stomach. Jasmine reached over and turned on the light.
Jasmine: What's wrong

Rock: Naw lil lady I got all I need right here
He held up a big ass grapefruit and bottle of water. Jasmine put her hand on her hip
Jasmine: Seriously that's it
He laughed
Rock: I don't eat much beautiful
She blushed and sat down. Josh started cooking breakfast and my phone rang, I excused myself and answered it.
August: Wassam beautiful
Lexi: Hey daddy
August: Don't tease a nigga fux around and show up early in Atlanta
I laughed
Lexi: I don't kno what you mean daddy
He laughed

I walked back into the kitchen
Josh: She had a bad dream about Chris
He yelled
Lexi: Shut up
August: What he talkin bout
I sighed
Lexi: Can I tell you after the concert
I sat down next to Tati at the table
August: Naw tell me now
Lexi: It was just a bad dream nothing serious...
Tati snatched the phone from me
Tati: It was about Chris and y'all weddin and he showed up and killed her and himself
I snatched my phone back
Lexi: I just didn't want you to worry before the show
August: Let me speak to Rock
I handed him the phone
Rock: Yea... Uh huh
He looked at me, got up an walked out of the area
Lexi: Thanks Ti
Tati: Oh you're welcome
She took a bite out of the bacon Josh had sittin on the table
Lexi: You're such a...
Josh: Ok pancakes, eggs with cheese, bacon and grits
He walked over to the table with a plate full of pancakes and sat them down
Jasmine: With some red koolaid
She was in the refrigerator and grabbed our pitcher.
Tati: Whatever Lexi yo ass was not gone tell
Lexi: What was there to tell it was a dream
She shrugged her shoulders and stacked her plate. Jasmine came and sat in front of me.
Jasmine: How far along are you Tati
She wiggled around in the chair, preventing herself from sliding down
Tati: Eight months and two weeks
Josh choked on a piece of food and I laughed
Josh: So you can go into labor like now
Tati: I wouldn't say now but the possibility is strong
Josh: My lord y'all tryin to kill me, Lexi ole seven month pregnant ass and you
Lexi: Yep and I've been having braxton hicks a lot lately
Tati: Really my doctor told me I might go over my due date
Lexi: Wait why
Tati: Cuz lil man aint dropped yet
Rock came back in, handed me my phone, sat next to Jasmine, then ate some of his grapefruit and drank in his water
Rock: He wants you
He nodded at the phone, I put it to my ear and they continued the conversation while I talk to him
August: Rock ain't gone leave ya side baby
Lexi: It was just a dream Aug
August: I still need to take every precaution
Lexi: I understand that but I don't want you to worry over a silly ass nightmare
August: I'm just takin it as a sign to step up
Lexi: Just don't do the extra shit..
August: Nothing is extra when it comes to you and my baby girl
I could hear the frustration in his voice
Lexi: I kno Aug that's why I got the restraining order put out on him
He raised his voice a little, to where everybody at the table looked at me
August: What the fuck you gone do with a fuckin piece of paper... throw it at...
He got quiet
August: Don't leave out of Rock eye site I gotta go
Lexi: But August...
He hung up
Josh: You good

Jasmine: Maybe afterwards we can go shopping for tonight
Tati looked at me she saw my feelings were a little hurt
Tati: I'm sure he ain't mean to yell
Rock: Yea he's just real concerned is all lil lady
Lexi: Yea
I got up and went upstairs to take my shower. When I got out I wrapped the towel around me and wrapped my hair as well. I looked at my phone. Two texts from August and a call from Dj. I called Dj back
Dj: Aye lil sis
Lexi: Hey big head you good
I sat on the bed with my lotion and oil
Dj: Yea callin to check on you... Yung told me bout yo dream then Ti filled me in on the rest
Lexi: Its just a dream

Dj: Dreams come true
Lexi: Not that one

He laughed, I unwrapped my hair and put on my moisturizer and put it in a messy bun.
Dj: Thats minor compared to the bigger picture sis come on Lexi you kno he gone protect even if his life depended on not protecting you he still would

I smiled
Lexi: Thanks
Josh: You ready for the mall
Lexi: I guess let's go
I grabbed my clutch and keys to August Range.
Rock: Ill drive
I tossed him the keys and we got in the car. We spent four hours running around shoppin and lookin for outfits for the show tonight.
Tati: Ok y'all my feet are swollen and I'm hungry

We made our food run then headed towards the house to get ready. We were grabbing our bags out the trunk.
Jasmine: Oh Jesus look at the sky
We looked up
Lexi: Its bout to storm
Tati: Yes now let's get in the house
We all went inside and started getting ready. Dj came over to ride with us to the show.

Josh: I can't wait to see him perform
Jasmine: Lexi gone kill you boy
Josh: Girl hush ain't nobody talkin bout ha man
They laughed and left. Rock stood by the stairs.
Lexi: Is it rainin bad
He looked outside
Rock: Yep it's comin down
Lexi: Ok ima be ready in a minute I just got a few things to do
Rock: Take ya time lil lady
The thunder roared thru the house causing me to jump, then the power went out
Lexi: This damn storm I'll just finish my makeup in the car
I grabbed my purse and jacket off the bed and hit the switch, just for when the lights came back on. I stood at the top of the stairs but I didn't see Rock.
Lexi: Rock where you at
I looked but I couldn't see him. I slowly walked down the stairs with one hand holding the rail. The lights came back on, Rock was on the floor with blood comin out his head.
Lexi: Oh my God
I slowly kneeled down and scrambled thru my purse for my phone. I pulled my phone out and heard a gun cock
Chris: Put it down
I laid it on Rock's chest. He shot it twice
Lexi: Nooo
Blood poured out of Rock's body
Chris: Get up
Lexi: Chris you don't have to do this
Chris: Shut up and go upstairs
He pushed me in the bedroom with the gun to my back. I walked all the way in and turned around to face him. He looked mad as hell
Chris: You are very hard woman to get near
He stepped towards me and I stepped back. Images of my dream replayed in my head. I held my hands up
Lexi: Please don't shoot me
Chris: What makes you think I would shoot you
Lexi: I..I..I umm
He stepped closer, makin me back into the dresser. He stood, towering over my 5'5 frame then licked his lips and got down on his knees. He went for my pants but I grabbed his hand
Lexi: Chris don't
Chris: Move
We fought a little, me pushing his hands away and vice versa
Lexi: Please
He held the gun against my stomach
Chris: Move
His voice elevated, scared for Aleigha's life I moved my hand. I leaned against the dresser as he took off my pants then stood up and took off my shirt. He ran his eyes over my body then use the barrel of the gun to trace my collar bone. I trembled and my dream kept replaying. He ran the gun down my side to my thigh then up my inner thigh, I closed my eyes. All I could think about was August. Chris put his hands on my ass and caressed
Chris: I've been waiting for this moment
He kissed my stomach and I cringed.
Lexi: Why are you doin this
He looked up at me then pulled down my panties, ignoring me
Chris: Step out of em
I shook my head and he slapped me, I grabbed my face.
Chris: Wrong answer choose a different one
I stepped out of my pants and panties then he turned me around. I braced myself, he trailed down my spine, with the gun, to the top of my bra and unsnapped it. He removed my straps and turned me back to facing him, exposing my bare body. He stepped back and admired me.
Chris: You're beautiful baby
He kissed my lips then my neck. He caressed my body and I put my hands on his chest trying to stop him from going further. He stood up completely and took off his shirt, revealing his six pack and ripped v cut. He unbuttoned his belt then got on his knees
Chris: Open up
I looked down at him, he tapped my leg with gun but I didn't move. He dropped his head
Chris: I'm really tryin not to kill you Lexi.. is that what you want
Tears filled my eyes and I shook my head
Chris: Then spread your legs
He put both of his hands between my thighs and opened me up. He massaged my inner thighs and moved closer to my vagina. I tensed up and he slid his fingers inside me, I took a deep breath and tighten my grip on the dresser. I closed my eyes and let the tears fall. He moved in and out of me, he wrapped his arm around my waist holding me in position then lifted my leg and put it on his shoulder. I never wanted something that felt so good to feel bad and it's killing me that my body is enjoying this. He put his mouth to my womanhood and began to devour me. I held my head back thinkin, wishing and praying it was August, this is just another bad dream. He lifted my other leg and put it on his other shoulder then tightened his grip on my thighs. He mushed his face giving me everything he had and all I did was cry. He stood up and let my feet hit the ground then grabbed my hand and dragged me towards the bed. I tried to put up a fight before I laid on my back
Chris: Turn over
Lexi: I can't lay on my stomach
He pointed the gun at me
Chris: You think I give a fuc about this nigga baby
I held my stomach, feeling more tears running down my face
Lexi: Chris please don't
He lowered the gun and grabbed my ankles, I tried to kick but he rolled me over then snatched me to the edge of the bed. Laying on my stomach was excruciatingly painful. I heard his belt buckle hit the ground then I him unzipping his pants. I lifted myself up a little, trying to crawl back up the bed but he grabbed my ankle snatching back making me fall on my stomach again. I cried out, yelling but I knew no one could hear me. He plunged inside me, ruffly penatrating my walls, pumping fast and hard. From my stomach to him possible damaging all of my vaginal organs the pain was horrific. I held my face, letting my tears fall into my hands. Once he came he fell to the side of me panting trying to catch his breath. I rolled over off my stomach but I couldn't muscle up the strength to move. He got up and turned on the light.
Chris: Look what you did to me
He moved where I could see him and he had blood all over his dick, legs and stomach. I covered my face and cried even harder.
Chris: The fuc you cryin for
He looked around and picked up my maxi dress I had on earlier
Chris: I'm the one that gotta clean this nasty shit up
He came over and put the dress on me then went in the bathroom and shut the door. Now was my time to get my ass up. I tried to sit up but it hurt too bad so I slid off the bed and fell to my side. I looked at the door when I hit the floor, he didn't come out. I scooted across the bedroom floor and out the door. We have a house phone in the guest room so I headed there. Chris grabbed me by my hair and yanked me in the other direction. I clawed at his hand, to let my hair go and screamed. Once we got back in the room he tossed me, stood over me and hit me in the face. My vision went blurry and I couldn't see him.

August: Atlanta y'all are truly the fuxkin best I rock wit y'all and if you don't already kno I'm August Alsina and I love y'all from the bottom of my heart

We ran out the venue to a black SUV

August: Yea man
We pull up in the driveway, the house dark as fux. I give my extra pistol to Josh. Me, Dre and T had our nines loaded and ready.
August: T you and Josh go around back
Dj: Me and Yung got the front
We went up to the door and saw it was open. I seen Rock layin on the floor he was shot and looked to be dead. I step to go in first but Dj steps in front of me and shots are fired. Dj falls to the ground and Lexi screams. I checked on him, he still breathing so I got up and stepped over him. A gun cocked and I pointed mine up the stairs. Chris was standing at the top of em, with his arm around Lexi neck and the gun to her head.
August: Man let her go
Chris: You think I'm bout let this go
He lefted her neck then kissed, looking me in my eyes, I clenched my jaw. I looked over her, she looked beat up. I looked down at her dress there was blood running down it. I choked up a little
August: Let me get her to the hospital man look she gone die
He takes two steps down
Chris: Naw she'll be fine
She cried and mouthed to me she was sorry. I aim for his head but he kept puttin Lexi in the way. T and Josh came around and out of Chris eyesite.
Chris: I got a trick for you August
August: Ion want shit you got but her
Chris: Well if I can't have her...
He pushed her down the stairs and shot her in the back then Josh came around the rail and shot him in the shoulder. T secured him from movin. I ran to Lexi trying to stop her from rolling anymore. I pulled her in my lap and she held onto me.
Lexi: I'm so sorry
Her voice was weak and trembling. I rubbed her beat up face and kissed her. I seen red and blue lights outside, T directed them to us. Officers and Paramedics came in and took Chris out in handcuffs. They put Lexi and Dre on a gurney and Rock in a body bag then took them out of the house. Detective Jones and Lowes came inside
Jones: August we're sorry for what happen here
August: You better pray my wife and daughter pull thru or by the time I'm done with y'all Atlanta PD gone be mine
We left and had Tati and Jasmine meet us at the hospital
Tati: I can't believe it my bestfriend and the love of my life
August: They said Dre gone be good
Tati: That's not the point August
Jasmine: Calm down girl before you go...
Her water broke
Josh: Aw hell
Tati: Owwww
A nurse came with a wheelchair
August: Go wit her Josh ima tell Dre where you at
Tati: Ok... Thank.. you
She was taking deep breaths, they wheeled her to the back. I paced back and forth waiting for and answer, and finally a nurse came
Nurse: Lexi Wilson's family
August: That's my fiance
Nurse: In situations like these sir
She paused for a moment
Nurse: We need to kno who you want to save...
