I tried to console Aalanis for weeks, but she couldn't stop crying. Neither could her mother Ahlandra or her sister Lauren. Well, Aalanis wasn't with her family because my dad kidnapped her as a slave, but I still saw them around when I played basketball with my friend Chresanto. His pops worked with mine for 17 years, so we pretty much knew each other our whole life. I walked home after leaving Chresanto's house and saw Aalanis hand washing clothes. "What are you doing?" I asked her. "What the fuck it look like I'm doing nigga? Yo daddy got me out here washing clothes! I hate it here!" she said as she started crying. I tried to hug her but she pushed me away forcefully. "I miss my dad! Why does your dad do this? I can't bear it without him, yo! I miss my sister and my momma, man fuck this!" she said as she wiped her face. "Listen, I don't know. I've tried to stop him, but he won't listen. He says he's too busy "getting that bread". But listen, we'll get out of here. Both of us. I won't leave you, I promise." I said to her. "Is this one of them scams? Did yo daddy put you up to this? Listen, I don't give a fuck! I can find a way out of here my damn self. So leave me alone." Aalanis said. I couldn't let her think that I was helping my dad. So I didn't leave her alone. "Aalanis, I swear on everything, I'm not helping my dad. I want to get out of here. Since I was five, he's been putting me up to things I hate doing. Me and.. you know Chresanto, right?" she nodded. "Me and him are planning to get away from here. And I just started whipping so you know we gonna be gone! You in? I'm not lying, I swear to you.". She looked at me and studied my face for a good 5 seconds, then she finally spoke. "I believe you.. but Craig, I swear to God if you're lying, I will personally slaughter you, ight?" she said as she chuckled a little bit. Damn, this girl was cute. I heard my dad coming, so I ran inside, into my room, leaving Aalanis out there. "You done, bitch?" I heard my dad ask her. "Nigga, do it look like I'm fucking done?" she snapped back at him. SLAP! I looked out the window and saw Aalanis holding her face. "Fuck you!!! I hate you!!!" she said as she looked at my dad with pure hatred. SLAP! "Don't talk to me like that, bitch." my dad yelled at her. She just stood there with her hand on her face because she knew if she said anything else, she'd get slapped again. I loved her so much and felt bad for her. Fuck it, I can't take it. We're leaving tonight. I ran outside and she wasn't there. <I> What the hell </I> I thought to myself. "Whatchu doin' out here?" I turned around and saw Aalanis. "Let's go. We're leaving now." I said to her. "My shit already packed." she replied as she smirked at me.
After packing my clothes, I got Aalanis and took my car keys. We packed the car and left. I called Chresanto and it rang 4 times and went straight to voicemail. "What the fuck, man!" I yelled in frustration. Then I get a call from him. "What the fuck do you want, Craig? I'm sleeping!" he said. "Chres, we gotta leave tonight. I can't take it anymore." I replied. "Man, fuck that! You said we weren't leaving until next week! No, alright?" he snapped at me. "Okay, well me and Aalanis are leaving. You wanna stay, fine. Bye." I hung up.
"Craig?" Aalanis whispered.
"What?" I replied to her.
"What about my mom and sister? Can we take them?"
"Do you know where they are?"
"I don't fucking know! I'm not a GPS."
"Well, you asked me to bring them!"
"I thought since your daddy knows where they are, you might know."
"Well, I don't. Sorry. I wish I knew."
Then, I got a text from Chresanto. It read, <I> Pick me up by the basketball court. </I>
I turned the car around and went to the basketball court. "Where are we going?" Aalanis asked me. "To the basketball court to pick up Chresanto."
Aalanis's POV
So apparently, Craig is taking me and Chresanto far from here so we can be safe. I wasn't sure if he was working with his pops on this, so if he try some funny shit, I'll find a way to do this on my own. I really wanted my mom and sister Lauren to come, but I haven't seen them since Dad died. I hope they're okay, anyway. I think Craig is feeling me a little bit, and I'm kinda feeling him. But I have to remember, he may or may not be working with his daddy.
We pulled up to the basketball court and I saw a dark and tall figure walk up to the car and open the door.
"Waddup, nigga!" Chresanto said to Craig as he dapped him. "Hey, Aalanis." he then said to me. "Hey, Chres." I replied to him.
Just then, we heard beeping behind us and we turned around and it was a huge black Cadillac. "Y'all thought you can get away from me?!" we heard. Then we heard a huge BANG.
