*D'angelo's POV*

Stephen and Tae walked out of the dorm building and I was absolutely relieved. There were no angry faces, no signs of tension... Nothing. They looked happy. His arm was around her and she had the brightest smile on her face.

"Steph always gets the girl." Klay sighed sarcastically.

"Newsflash baby boy.. That was the girl he was supposed to get." Amour laughed. We got ourselves together when they approached the car. They stole this car by the way.

He opened the door for her to get in and I had to hold in my laughter. It's weird watching them love each other because it's been so long. It's also weird watching people in love when the love of my life is somewhere probably scared for her life.

Ironically, that was all I was surrounded by. Happy couples here and there.. Klay and Amour, Steph and Tae..

Maybe I'm over exaggerating.

After hours of driving, my phone started to ring off the hook. By this time, Steph was driving and Tae was in the passengers seat. I was in the back seat with Klay and Amour. Everyone was sleeping, except me and Steph.

We were driving in the direction of the last signal I got.

"Are you okay?" Stephen asked, not taking his eyes off the road.

"You're talking to me?" I asked.

"No, I'm talking to my sleeping best friend and his girlfriend." I could hear the sarcasm in his voice. Before I could reply, my phone started to ring off the hook. I was getting a signal from Wadeline's phone. It wasn't a strong one, but it was a signal.

"It's about 3 miles that way." I pointed, and Steph violently jerked the car in the other direction, causing Tae to bump her head on the car window. She glared at him with sleepy eyes before laying her head back down.

We rode in silence for about ten minutes before I saw a huddled mass wrapped in a bright blue blanket. The blanket was dirty, with dried blood spots here and there. The road was empty, and the figure was just walking on it as if a car couldn't roll through here and end everything. I instructed Steph to drive slowly as the figure began to approach the car. He almost hit the poor thing, like once or twice before I told him to just stop all together.

The figure approached the car and slowly removed the cover from his face.

Standing in front of the car with a swollen and bloody face was Hakeem. Seeing his wounds made me and Stephen jump at the exact same time. "Daaaaamn bruh!" Steph screamed, waking Klay up from his nap. Amour stirred a little, but she soon went back to sleep. Tae was already awake, but she was staring at the ground.

I'm just thinking to myself, what kind of friend am I? I forgot this nigga even existed, so how am I supposed to notice he disappeared?

"Daamn! What's wrong with that nigga face? Who is that?" Klay asked groggily.

"Nigga that's Hakeem." I shouted, shaking my head.

"What?" Tae mumbled, lifting her head up to lock eyes with Hakeem's lifeless ones. It wasn't cold outside so I didn't know why he had on this hot ass blanket.

I opened the door for him to get in, and me and Steph just stared at him in horror. I motioned for him to sit and he wasted no time hopping in a slamming the door shut. "Go." He said quietly. His voice didn't sound at all like him, and it was scary. He was one of my best friends.

"Come again?" Klay jokingly asked.

"Please go!" He screamed, finally waking Amour up from her nap.
