Unknown [ An August Alsina Romance ]

Guess not

I feel so comfortable when he's around. I feel like I'm... Complete. But I couldn't do this. I couldn't put myself in this position. He was only gonna hurt me again.

I untangle myself from him and silently wipe my tears as i look towards the window.

"You don't have to."

I don't acknowledge his presence.

"You don't have to forgive me." He finishes

"I couldn't even if I wanted to."

"I hurt you real bad huh?"

"Words can't even describe it." I meekly reply as I try not to break down again.

"This is why I don't do this."

"Do what?"

"Get in relationships. I just hurt people in the end. But I thought with you I could be different. Guess not."

"Guess not."

I hear a click sound.

"The door is open."

I slowly open the door and get out of the car.

"I'm really sorry heaven if that counts for anything."

I shrug sadly as I close the door.

He backs up and zooms out of sight. I open my phone. 2 missed calls. 3 texts. All from Alexis.

Lex😏💕:Heav?

Lex😏💕: heaven, this is serious. Frl reply or call me back ASAP!!

Lex😏💕: HEAVEN KIANA THOMAS!

K.H 😍😊: what's going on lex?

I sit in my car and wait a couple minutes for her to reply. She doesn't. Weird, Alexis always replies instantly especially if it's something urgent. I call her. It goes to voicemail. I try again. Goes to voicemail again.

I drive to the apartment and when I walk in Alexis is crying in the living room. I run over to her.

"What happened?"

"St--st--Stella!!!!"

"What do you mean? Alexis talk to me."

"They took Stella!" She bursts into tears.

"Who?, Alexis what the hell is going on?"

"Marcus and his gang."

"Who's Marcus? What the fuck Alexis?"

"Her ex boyfriend. He's a drug dealer. We ran into him at a diner earlier and he took her!" She breaks down again.

"What you mean he took her?" I try to process the information.

"HEAVEN! He fucking took her! She broke it off with him 2 years ago when she found out what he did and he was stalking her for months. He finally got busted for a drug exchange and went to jail. Now he's back!"

"Why didn't you call the cops?" I ask surprising myself. Where I'm from we don't do that, you handle shit on your own.

She looks at me like I'm crazy. "He would have killed her."
