It's now been three whole days from the incident with Maliyah

Maliyah?

Silence ..

Maliyah

Silence ... Again

Come on Maliyah , you've been in there for three whole days . I want to comfort you and maybe help you at the same time .

Silence ...

Maliyah , I may not know what exactly happened but I know that it's not anything good but hey , you've got me and I won't be going anywhere anytime soon but , please please oh please open the door .

Footsteps are heard

Maliyah ! Thank you !

She nods

Hey, listen you don't even have to talk or anything I could do the talking or you could do the talking and I listen or better yet we could just

A... Aaron

What's up Maliyah

You .. You you were talking too much

I'm sorry but I just want to help you out in any way I could

She nods

I understand you do Aaron but I'm not sure you would be able to handle this *she holds her head down and stops talking *

Hey ...hey hey it's okay just give it some time

No ! That's the thing Aaron . It's been nothing but time that has always managed to take a toll on me

Huh? Wait Maliyah what's going on ? What happened ? You can tell me

Aaron ... Aaron trust me I would love to tell you and get this all off my chest but .. But I don't think I can

What do you mean you can't ? I mean you have a lot of stuff bottled up inside of you and having that much of hurt , anger ,or whatever inside of you is only hurting you more than how much you're hurting yourself now

I really want to tell you Aaron but

But what Maliyah ?

I want to tell you and let out my feelings of how much anger and hurt I have inside me but it would only bring you into the wrong mix and I can't *she begins to sob *. I can't risk losing another person in my life that ... That I just got close to

Huh ? Maliyah this isn't making any since to me

That's just it Aaron ! It won't make since to you because you don't know and I yea I may want you to know but I'm sorry I can't risk that

Hey ... Shhhh it's going to alright , it's going to be okay

No ! No Aaron it's never going to be okay ! It's been going on for too long for it to Come to an end yet alone be okay

Maliyah !

No !

Maliyah listen to me ! You have to tell me so I can help you because I hate seeing how much pain you're going through

No Aaron ! No you can't come in and try to help I don't want to lose you ... I -I just lost somebody close to me already and it's even worst because she was blood Aaron ! She was my sister !
