Luke's P.O.V

I sit outside my house on the front porch, as the night slowly creeps into day. I sit and wait for Aaliyah to just come home, my anger has faded and I just want to hold her and tell her how sorry I am. A car pulls up and I quickly stand up hoping it's her but I soon realize it's Briana. I roll my eyes and sit back down on the porch. 

"Luke why the fuck did you hit her,"Briana shouts as she walks over to me. "That wasn't apart of the plan!"

"Mind you fucking business Briana it has nothing to do with you," I snap at her. 

"Luke! What is wrong with you is it that hard to fuck the bitch and get it over with it has almost been a month and you have been acting really fucking weird." She yells at me.

"It's deeper than that now man, I'm starting to fucking like her,"I admit and she looks at me with disgust. 

"What the fuck do you mean your starting to like her, " She says as she shoves my head back using her pointer finger. 

"I'm done waiting on you, you know you're not leaving Keith so I'm done with the bullshit I like Aaliyah, and I want to be with her,"

Briana grabs my face making me look her in the eyes. "You're not done with me Luke," She says her eyes connected with mine. She places her soft lips onto mine kissing me sweetly but I didn't feel the same. I push her back and wipe her lip gloss off my mouth. 

"I don't fucking want you."I snap and her and she looks confused. 

"Lu-"She starts but I quickly cut her off. "I know you think the world revolves around you and you can have everything that you want but you can't have me."I say coldly and she takes a step back. 

"So you're choosing that black ass hood bitch over me?"She yells and my annoyance from  her presence starts to grow. 

"Fuck you luke," She says as she turns on her heels walking away from me. 

I roll my eyes and sign. Where is Aaliyah. I hope she's okay. 

Aaliyah's P.O.V 

Algee pulls up in front of my house and we say our good byes before I get out the car and walk to the front door. I pull my key out of my bag and push the door open. A disgusting stench fills my nostrils as I walk into the house. The smell is so strong and bad, I can't even breath. I cover my nose as I travel into the living room. I freeze.. I couldn't breathe. My chest tightens and my stomach literally drops. I can't move or process what I am looking at. My moms lifeless body lays on the living room floor a needle shoved deep into her veins. I just stand there looking not know how to think or what to do even. Before I knew it tears were flooding from my eyes and I was full on sobbing. Sobbing for the women who has caused me so much pain and hurt. I look down at her swollen belly causing me to drop to my knees and cry harder as I think about my unborn baby sibling inside her womb. 

I always thought the day that I saw my mother die would be a happy moment for me. After all the shit that women as put me through I thought I'd be happy to walk into our home and find her laying on the floor dead, but I didn't feel happy at all. It hurt to see my mother lying on the floor her body slowly decaying with my little brother or sister still inside of her. Nobody was here with her. She died alone. It hurts so much to see her body. It hurts so much to imagine her taking her last breath and losing her life from the point of a needle. 

Keith's P.O.V 

I rush down the hall of the hospital when I spot her. She was sitting with her knees pressed to her chest as she looked forward with an emotionless stare. I take a breath and walk over to her. She had dried up tears stained on her cheeks and bags under her eyes. 

"Liyah," I say softly and she slowly turns her head to look at me. She doesn't speak and I don't know what to say. I wasn't able to find any words to comfort her so I just kneel down in front of her and wrap my arms tightly around her body. Her body leaned toward me and she allowed herself to lay against me for physical support. 

"I'm sorry Liyah,"I simply say as I rub her back. 

We both stay there in silence embracing each other, there is nothing to say this is simply just a sad moment for her and there is nothing that can be said. 

.........

The day is slow and and long, I spent all of it with her, I wouldn't dare leave her at such a time. My mom came to pick us up. They wouldn't let her leave without a legal guardian. My mom has always been the person to care for Liyah when she was hurt and had to go to the hospital here name was on all the paperwork from over the years so they let Liyah leave with her. Once we got to the house my mom fixed some of her famous, homemade soup. She always seems to think that soup fixing everything from a cold to the ache of the loss of a loved one. Aaliyah didn't eat much of the soup she just sat on my bed with her knees pulled up to her chest and her hands wrapped tightly around them.  She's been sitting like that for hours not moving at all or saying a word. I was kinda shocked when she finally moved. It wasn't much she simply laid down and pulled my blanket over he body.  

I walk over to my bed and lay next to her wrapping my arms around her. I look at Aaliyah Her swollen eyes close, swollen from what Luke has done to her and swollen from her endless tears. She slowly drifts off to sleep and I wrap my arms around her tighter holder her close to me. I don't ever want to let her go again.
