Stay Down

Chapter|28

Amarri

Never in my life had I been so afraid up until this very moment. I knew what was about to happen before it all got started. I tried to scream even though I knew my screams wouldn't get past my lips because of the duct tape. I was being held against my will, tied down to a chair with cable wires and in the middle of a gun fight. There was nothing I could do except let my tear ducts fill up with anguish and over flow like a raging waterfall as bullet after bullet flew past my ears. If he only knew that any minute now his bullets would fill my body up like a cup. Not in a million years did I ever believe I would be in this predicament, getting ready to die at the hands of him. Even though I wasn't afraid to die, I jus didn't want it to go down this way. Everything that I had been through up to this point was nothing in comparison to the present and I couldn't wrap my mind around around it. Yea granted I had shot him and almost ended his life but that was then and this is now. That was months ago. I've grown to love this man very much and he loves me. I know it would just kill him to know that he was getting ready to cancel Christmas on my ass.

The first bullet pierced my lower right leg and more than anything it burned. I knew it would only be a matter of minutes before my body would be riddled with bullet holes. I tried to loosen the zip ties around my wrists and ankles that had me bound to the chair but was unsuccessful. There was literally nothing I could do but sit here and wait on my demise. "Amarri!" I could hear Dominique and Mir both shout my name at the same time. The tears flowed even faster at the sound of his sweet voice. I mean I've never been this helpless in my life. I screamed with my mouth closed because it was the only way I could but it was too noisy inside to hear anything. With Duck and Dinko standing at both of my sides firing off shots and Dominique shooting back, my hearing was just about gone. How in the fuck did I get myself in this predicament?

**An hour earlier....

I was helping Dominique pack a few things for his flight. He was leaving to do a ten city tour and would be gone for about a month.
"Here, in this bag I put your toothbrush and stuff." I said handing it to him.

"Thank you mamas. You sure you don't wanna go with me?"

"You know I can't go with you. If I could I would but my lawyer said not to travel outta state with these charges on me until after court. Besides I wouldn't want you to lose your female fan base with me traveling on your arms." I say smiling and winking at him.

He smirked back before responding, "here you go. I love my fans but you baby so I don't care what they think." I don't know why I got butterflies when he said that but I did. He made me feel so special with how he handled me. Even though we're not official, you might as well say it. We've talked about getting serious but I want to wait until I know what's going to happen in court and further more I just want things to flow by themselves. Things get complicated once you start putting titles on them.

"Yoooo, let's go! Tonio said he gon meet us at the airport." Duck hollard from the bottom of the stairs.

"I thought you said your flight didn't leave until 7:00pm?" I questioned.

"It don't but you know I like to be early."

"Yea but that's super duper early." I poured.

"Damn girl you sexy as fuck when you do that."

"Shut up D, I'm serious. You gon be gone a whole month and you're rushing off."

"Come with me then."

"Dom-"

"I know I know I'm just fucking with you."
