"Move move get out of my way." I screamed pushing through people.

"Ma'am you can't go over there." A police man told me.

"What the fuck do you mean I can't go over there?"

"Only family is allowed."

Just then Kayla's mom ran over to me. "This is all your fault she wrote this letter to you saying sorry what the Hell did you do to my daughter?" Kayla's mother growled at me with a tear stained face.

I took the letter.

Erica

First off thank you for being a good. friend I truly appreciate it. I'm sorry that I took the easy way out of life I know where I'm going but I was probably going there anyways. Daniel was right what the Hell was I doing with my life and after asking myself that question I realized I had no purpose on earth. All I did was get high and party. My family is probably freaking out right now and they may or may not think that you had something to do with my death. And you might blame Diggy. But Nah it was all me. I was raped a while back which made me more depressed and made me start to smoke more weed then I did. I'm done with living this life. I can't do this anymore. I'm out of the game. Don't cry over my decision I chose to clock out. I wanted to be strong but I couldn't. Take good care of KJ for me please. Let Diggy be there for you. Let him Love you. Well I'm out so Bye and I love you.

PS: guess who got the cops on Khalil. I won't tell you why though just know he deserves to rot in jail, something he's going to do. You're welcome boo. Love ya mami. And don't cry over me.

"She she's gone."

"Erica what does it say?" Diggy asked.

"She committed suicide." I said I started to cry.

"Why would she do that?" He asked.

"I don't know Daniel maybe it has something to do with that pep talk you gave her earlier. You know the one when you asked about what kind of life she is living. She felt she had no purpose Dan."

"I'm so sorry Erica I truly am."

"Tell Kayla that oops she dead. " I walked away.

Kayla's funeral was the next week and her family didn't want me anywhere near it. Of course I went anyways, but I sat in the back. After it ended I left out the back.

"Okay class exam next week don't forget to bring your own scan-tron. Y'all are dismissed." I walked out the classroom heading to cafe on the first floor.

"Hey um Erica." This girl named Jennifer yelled.

I stopped and turned around with slight irritation.

"Um I heard what to Kayla and I just want you to know th-"

"You can save your speech because I truly don't need it." I walked away just ready to get me something to eat and sit down. I stood in line ready to pay for me hamburger and Dr Pepper, I was lonely now I mean I knew people at this college that I associated with, but Kayla was the main person.

I made my way to the far end of the cafe where people would study or sleep. A few minutes passed and I had finished my burger. I grew sleepy so I laid my head down on the table to take a quick nap.

By the time I had waken up two hours had passed, meaning I missed class. I stood up, slung my backpack on to my shoulders and walked towards the exit to leave. By the time I reached my car I felt my phone vibrate indicating a text message.

It was from Daniel.

The text read." Menchies?"

Checking the time I realized that it was almost time for KJ's school to let out. I told him that I had to get KJ first then I would meet him there.

When I got to menchies Diggy tried to cheer me up but it wasn't working.

"So how's school going?" He asked.

I swirled my spoon in my cake batter flavored frozen yogurt that was topped with a strawberries, almonds, chocolate sauce, caramel sauce and some other stuff.

"Good I guess." I responded in a bland tone.

"That's cool." He nodded his head.

"Dig look I don't mean to be so distant it's just that this Kayla thing has just taken a toll on me."

"Erica don't you think I know that I'm just trying to cheer you up. I just hate seeing you like this all depressed and what not."

"Daniel where you going?" I question with wondrous eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"I just have this feeling that I'm going to be alone for a long period of time so just tell me now."

He bowed his head and sighed heavily. " I was going to wait to tell you this but I guess I should tell you now." He paused for a short amount of time and looked at KJ. KJ looked up at him with his big light brown eyes and smiled. Diggy smiled back then sighed. "I'm moving back to the east coast, I'm trading in my mic for the books but only for a while. I'm already enrolled into the school in New York."

"Oh really. What for?"

"A degree in business, but I'll only be gone two years three tops, I know this all sudden but I just want to do so much more and I kn-.

"Diggy you don't owe me an explanation, if this what you want and need then go and do it." I smiled.

"Okay but what about you I mean you're in college and you got KJ -"

I cut him off again "And I have my mother."

"Now I feel bad for going on with this, I should've just applied for a school here." He started to ramble on about how I'm going to need him and his KJ might need a ride school.

"Diggy as your friend I'm telling you to go to New York and do what you want to do. Stop worrying about me and KJ." I started eat more of my half melted frozed yogurt. "So when do you leave?" I beamed.

"Tomorrow." He said in a saddened toned.

How did he not here that. The sound of my breaking heart rang so loudly throughout my ears. Even though we weren't dating I was enjoying his company, and I'm sure KJ was enjoying him as well. I was happy for him because I know how he feels about his future, but he could have given me some kind of heads up or something.

Najeah my best friend was off at college in Europe, Kayla had just been buried and now the only person that I considered a friend was leaving.
