I kicked my feet up on the side of the couch. Man it felt good to be home. Working all the extra hours had me tired but my off days where the best.
I sat on the white sofa scrolling through instagram.
My iPhone beeped with a facetime request from Zar.
I fluffed my hair a little bit and wiped my eyes making sure I looked okay to accept the call.
I answered it and his face popped up on the screen.

I laughed at his facial expression.
"Zar what the hell are you doin? Why you lookin like that?" he looked at me finally realizing the call had been answered.
"Oh...um nothin just....what the fuuckk?...I'm watchin some weird stuff on the discovery channel youtube my bad."
I laughed. Sometimes he made the funniest lookin faces.
"I'm about to turn this shit off man. Ima have nightmares watching this." I heard a few taps and the laptop light went off.
He blinked shaking his head a few time. "Yeah...anyway...what you doin? No work today?"
I turned to lay on the couch propping my phone up in the corner. "Nah. None today. Ughh I'm so glad I didn't wanna go today anyway."
We talked for a while about different things when Luna came in the door behind me. I glaced back with Lazarus still on the call.
"Hey Luna." I spoke softly. We still weren't speaking.
"Hey. Who's that?" she asked taking her work shoes off.
"Oh so now you don't know who I am huh?" he said sarcastically. I laughed and she moved closer squinting her eyes.
"Oh...you...hey babe. My bad I couldn't see you." she said standing next to the couch.
"Nah..nah...it's all good. No love for the kid....mhm...I see....I'll go cry now."
We both laughed. Luna stifled her laugh with a grunt quickly realizing we still weren't okay.
"I'll text you after my shower Laz."
He nodded. "Hey wait Lu. I wanna talk to you." I said
She looked at me wide eyed. "Uh...ok."
I turned to Lazarus and he nodded. "I'll talk to you later Mimi."
"Alright bye." I ended the call and sat up facing Luna who sat in the love seat.
I took a deep breath and just started talking.
"Look. I don't like us not talking okay. You my blood. My cousin. More like my sister and I can't stay mad at you. We both did and said things that we shouldn't have but it's over now. No more lies or none of that. I just want us to be okay again."
She sat watching me speak.
"What about me and Lazarus? Are you okay with that?"
I looked down playing with my phone contemplating her question.
"Yeah...I mean it hurts but....it is what it is. I never really told him so I can't hold it against him forever. I am happy for y'all though."
She smiled and jumped up hugging me tightly. "Thank you so much cousin I love you."
I hugged her lightly not wanting to embrace too much. "Mhmm. You too."
She pulled away looking at me. "How about you go to the mall with us tomorrow? It'll be fun. We can go eat or something too."
I thought about the idea for a while.
Did I really wanna see them together? Or would that just be self inflicted hurt for no reason.
"I don't know Lu....may-" "Come oonnnn. It'll be so much fun. You can even bring somebody if you want. Please please pleaseeeeee??"
I let out a sigh.
It might not even be that bad. Just go. You need some fun anyway. And Laz is still your friend.
"Yeah. I'll go."
She smiled "Good shit. I'll tell Laz tonight. Lemme go hit the shower though."
She left out heading to her bedroom while I sat in my thoughts.
Part of me still has hope that he'll change his mind. I deserve Lazarus not her. All she's going to do is corrupt him like she does everything else.
I was right for him. He should be mine.
I shook my head at the crazy thoughts and got up to go get in my bed. As soon as my head hit the pillow I was out like a light.
Lazarus stood in front of me holding my waist tightly in his grip.
"I'm sorry Mariah. You know I've always loved you. I never meant to end up with that junkie. All she did was ruin my life. Please give me a chance."
I stared into those golden pools he called eyes. They were hurt and full of shame.
"I don't know Laz. Why now? Why not pick me first? Huh?"
He looked down. "Cause....I was stupid. And I was scared. But now I'm ready. I'm ready to love you like you should be loved. I wanna give you the world Mariah just let me do it."
I sighed and he grabbed my chin to face him. "Please."
His lips came down to meet mine and my body melted under his touch. They were so soft and juicy. His grip got tighter as I ran my hands over his tattoos.
Then I pulled away and there was black liquid spilling from my mouth.
Laz walked away smirking devilishly.
"Wh-wh-what is THIS?! POISON!?" I screamed frantically. Pain filling my body inch by inch.
Luna appeared next to Lazarus both their pupils slim like a snake. They laughed.
"He was never gonna pick you as long as he's with me bitch." she hissed at me.
I doubled over as the pain increased. The liquid still leaving my mouth.
I woke up in heavy breaths and cold sweats.
"What in the fuck?......" I sat staring at my wall. I had to do something before she changed him for good.
