ANONYMOUS
"You sure that was the right car?" asked Renae
"I know how the fuck Dontell look. Plus he was in the car with the girl with the big curly hair, that's the girl right?"
"Yeah. That's Lyric"
"Well then we good, and that bitch ass nigga Khari gon regret not fuckin wit me."
"Santana-"
"Don't call me by my name, the fuck wrong with you?" I looked at one of my irritable workers in disgust, walking inside.
"Boss.. Somebody just called. They said.."
LYRIC * 1 hour ago
We pulled away and he went back inside after kissing me again. I walked down to the car and leaned down to the drivers window.
"I'm riding with them, he said for you guys to go ahead." I said to Dontell
"You sure?"
"Yeah, I wanna change clothes." I lied.
"What's wrong with what you have on?" Taylor turned to the side. She examined the fitted black romper and Steve Madden sandals I was wearing.
"Goooo aheaaadd," I stressed.
They gave in and I watched them pull off, driving down the street.
I quietly crept back inside and grabbed the car keys off of the table. Khari and Joshua were somewhere in the back of the house both talking but not to each other. It sounded like they were on the phone. Easing back out of the house, I went inside the car and waited for them. I had to make sure they were safe because this feeling in my stomach wasn't anything normal.
Minutes passed and almost falling asleep, I heard a loud popping noise like a gunshot, came from inside. I jumped up from leaning back on the seat, my heart felt like it was going to leap out of my chest. What the hell was going on in there?
I scrambled out of the car and ran towards the house stopping at the door. I leaned my ear on it, listening, but there was no noise. There was no movement. Everything was still.
Automatically, the thought of Khari getting hurt flashed into my mind and without thinking, I barged into the living room, my eyes scanning for human presence.
I stopped in mid-stride. Both Khari and Joshua had their guns pointed in my direction. Their nothingness eyes were staring at me but it seemed as if they were looking past me. We stood there for too long, just staring at each other and seeming as if we didn't know what to do or who should move first. They were looking as if it wasn't actually me. Like it couldn't be me. Looking into the barrels of their gun, my hands began to tremble.
"Khari?" My voice was almost above a whisper.
I watched as a single tear ran down his cheek and he lowered his gun, snatching me up and holding my head in his chest. His hold was so tight like he didn't want me to get away or somehow disappear.
He ran his fingers through my hair, stroking it and obviously holding in the tears threatening to fall from his eyes. I could tell by the grunts in his throat.
This was scaring me. Why was he acting like this? I looked around to see Josh pacing around like he was crazy, running his hands down his face constantly.
"What you doin here Lyric? You not supposed to be here." Khari shook his head in disbelief.
"It didn't feel right. I told Joshua and Taylor to go ahead."
"Taylor ain't with you?" Joshua asked me although it sounded as if he was talking to himself.
I shook my head from side to side, "No..."
He punched a deep hole into the wall, cussing loudly and sunk down onto the floor.
"Can y'all just tell me what the fuck is goin on?" I honestly was tired at this point. I needed to know what all of this was about.
"They got.. They were in a car accident."
"What? Oh lord, I hope they're ok." I turned to leave out.
"Baby.."
"Come on, we have to get to the hospital to make sure they're alright."
"Lyric.."
"Stop just standing there!"
"They didn't make it!"
I froze. I was still facing the door, and I couldn't turn around. I felt like I couldn't breathe. "No, no, no, no" I repeated to myself. "How? Why?"
"Tell her Khari."
"Tell me what?"
He huffed and began speaking, "We had been getting phone calls all day.. From somebody we used to work for. Threatening us and shit.. But we didn't think he would come all the way out here.. We ain't think he would do this."
"Used to work for? What do you mean?"
Khari walked away. Unable to say anymore, but I needed answers!
"Joshua what the fuck is he talking about!?" At this point, all of my sadness had turned into anger. I couldn't have just lost 2 of my best friends.
"Me, Dontell, and Khari was in the drug game a while ago. We was in deep, but then some shit happened... Khari took the fall for all of us and went to jail. When he got out, the nigga we was working for, Santana ,wanted us to come back-"
"Are y'all fuckin crazy!? Nobody told us anything now look at what's happened! I would've never left them! I wouldn't have let them go! You guys knew this whole time and didn't say shit! Both of you lied to us!"
"We ain't wanna tell Dontell because he would've panicked, we thought it was safer. For all of you."
"Yeah? Great job on doing the safe part."
I slammed the door behind me and jumped inside of the car. Struggling to put the keys in the ignition so hurriedly, I finally got it to start up right when Khari ran out towards me.
"Look Lyric chill, come inside 'till we get this shit figured out. I'm sorry baby."
"Fuck you Khari." I pulled off. I couldn't believe all of this was happening. Tears blurred my vision and I pulled over, completely breaking down.
