Thug Love ( StemxFem )

Six

Misha | 1:55 pm | Park

We were walking this trail at some park a few blocks down from the dorm.

So far , I told her my middle name is Desiree. I like cars and shoes. My parents are divorced. I'm an only child. I still watch cartoon network. I love kids. I like all kinds of music. I live alone. I have no pets but I like dogs. I was born in Manhattan , New York. I have a short temper and I'm really good in math.

Me: Is that enough?

She looked up at me , smiling. 

Ciara: Yeah.

I nodded.

Me: So what happened?

She sighed and ran a hand down her face.

Ciara: 114 thousand is what we have to pay to get her back.

Me: Who?

Ciara: My sister. They took my sister because he wouldn't pay what he owed to them. So they took my sister. The only people who knows is you , Naomi , Andi , my cousin Simone , him and her.

Simone. Why did that name sound familiar.

Me: Whose him and her?

Ciara: My stepfather and real mother. It's sad that they don't even care.

Me: They aren't making an attempt to pay the ransom or anything?

Ciara: Nope. They don't care about anything but their fucking drugs and beer.

Damn. This shit is sad.

Me: How old is your sister?

Ciara: 9.

Me: How long have they had her?

Ciara: 6 fucking months.

Me: Damn.

Ciara: Yeah.

Me: So how are you going to pay the ransom?

Ciara: Well , between me and my cousin , we should have around 110 thousand using our college funds and everything else we got. So then we'll need about 4 thousand for the rest.

And I hated that idea. Before the words registered in my brain , they had already came out of my mouth.

Me: I could pay all of it.

She looked at me like I was stupid.

Ciara: No. Your not doing it.

Me: I don't see why not.

Ciara: Because it's 114 thousand. That's too damn much.

Me: Okay how about I'll help you guys?

Ciara: And by that you mean what.

Me: Okay well you and Simone only pay 10 thousand and I got the rest.

Ciara: You'll be paying 94 thousand.

Me: Which isn't alot.

Ciara: But I-

Me: Ciara , I don't want you two using all of your college money. I'm doing it and that's that.

Ciara: Is there a way I can pay you back?

Me: Not money wise , cause I'm not letting you do that , but we'll think of something.

Ciara: Thank you Misha. You have no clue how much this means to me.

Me: It's no problem. When do you have to have the money?
