It took me hours before I could close my eyes and long enough to sleep. My conclusion was he was just playing mind games with me to throw me. I rolled off my bed and landed on the floor planning on doing the same thing I did yesterday. Stare at the ceiling 

"Wash yourself off," A familiar voice said. I got up and looked at Joseph said frowning at me. "Then came down downstairs to get something to eat." He was leaning on the door frame, his impatience was clear on his face. He obviously had somewhere to be because he was dressed in a neat suit which I won't deny saying, made him look handsome.

"I thought I told you before," I said with increasing confidence as I walked to him. "I am not eating anything" 

He grabbed my arm in a tight and hurtful grip and as reaction I attempted to strike with other arm but he held down that on too.  He restrained my arms behind and lowed his head to my level. From the looks of it, he was clearly stressed out.  There was bags under his eyes and he looked paled somewhat sick. 

"You are going to eat something even if I have choke it down your beautiful throat." He warned, his breath reeking of cigars.

"You look very sharp today." I said in a filthy way. He loosened by arms and took a step back but I wasn't done. I lightly run my fingers up his suit then up his neck. "You look very tired Joseph, you should get some sleep."

"I'm so sorry sweetheart." He sighed deeply on my face causing me to cough because of the scent it. Releasing my reaction he pulled back rubbing his face with his hands. "I'll sleep when come back, okay?' 

I grabbed his face and pressed my lips softly on his. "Stay safe baby."

I grabbed her by the hair and dragged her roughly into nearest rest room. Throughout the process she's cussing me out with everything she had. I pulled her harder making her slam into the bathroom wall once I released it.

"What the fucken hell is wrong you retarded bitch?!" She exclaimed with all her might. Seconds later her knight in shiny armor walked in with 'what the fuck' expression on his face. But before he react, I pulled out my gun and pointed it at her. 

Her eyes widened but relaxed like she has been in this situation times before. "I'm going to ask you a question and you're going answer. See, I not allowed to kill Carlos but I don't think killing you would change anything, you're what I'll collateral damage."

"Baby, put it down." Santiago said leaning calmly on the bathroom sink. 

"I swear I'll blow your fucken girlfriend's head off if you don't tell me what happened!" I was losing it bit by bit. "Your fucken boss attacked Joseph yesterday and now he's in the fucken hospital. NOW TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED!" 

She chuckled and I fired the gun closed to her head, the only sound the was made was the bullet hitting the wall. She immediately dropped to the ground covering the head and shaking and Santiago pulled his gun and pointing directly at my head. Now the know I mean fucken business.

Nova got up from the floor she sighed deeply and fixed her hair quickly. "Put down the gun Santiago. I'll tell her."

Santiago looked at her solid approval, they nodded their head before he lowered the gun slowly.

Nova cleared her throat and said. "It wasn't us." 

"THEN WHO WAS IT!" I screamed.

"It was your own." That same husky voice that replayed in my head over and over said again. The one and only son of a bitch in this city.

I glanced at him for a second not giving a fuck to what he said. " I will shoot this little bitch if you think I'm joking."

The silence was broken when my ringtone echoed across the room. I fished it out quietly and pressed the green button as soon as I saw Joseph's name. All my muscles relaxed unconsciously lowering my gun. 

"Oh my baby are you alright?" Concerned oozing in my voice as I ran my hands through my hair clearing it from my face. "I'll be there in a second babe."

"No sweetheart I just called to see whether you're okay?" he chuckled relaxing me even more. "Whatcha up to?"

I looked at my surroundings for a moment all of them staring at me, Carlos looking more irritated than before. "Hmm....nothing interesting."

"Temperance I know you and I know exactly what you're doing." My face turned red feeling ashamed of how irrationally I was acting at the moment. I can;t believe I let my emotion take over my body and evidently my gun.

I sighed putting my gun sticking my gun back. "Yeah you do know me, don't you? "

"I love you too baby, now please put the gun down and leave." I could fill the smirk on his face. Imagine he has this exact situation pictured in his head. 

"Already put the gun down and now I'm leaving." I announced before saying bye and hanging up. I headed for the bathroom exit. The exit was blocked by a huge body and for some reason I knew what what was coming. I looked back and there stood Nova and Santiago standing proudly next to her. I rolled my eyes looking back at Carlos crossing my arms across my chest. 

"Are gonna to move?" I said looking up at him frowning at him. 

"I'm going to move when you promise never play a trick like that again." Carlos looking at dead in the face with his arms crossed over his chest. "I'l never hurt a sweet little hair on your head but I told you to leave my men alone. And I don't like people who don't follow my orders?"

He raised his hands and assuming he was going to hold my face I stepped back quietly. "I never keep my promises honey."

He bent down to my level so he could look me dead in the eye and then smirked gracefully. "I promise you Tempe, you're going to keep this one."

He stepped aside making way for me. I walked out of the bathroom proudly but ultimately confused. If he thinks he can control me with fear like he does with everything else he's kidding himself.  

He has to be kidding himself.

"I have to transfer to another school." I said sitting up on the bed and leaning on the wood behind me. "I can't do this baby. They're haunting me, it's been a w.eek and I feel like blowing my head off." 

"Sweetheart," He groaned lowly as I rubbed the bandage just below his shoulder. The only gun wound he had from the incident. In the laying position he turned his head and looked up at me. "You need to learn how to be patience. Patience, my sweet baby patience." He said huskily rubbing my thigh. 

"You know what?" Joseph's tired voice said. I could practically he the light bulb lit on his head. "Why keep running from something that won't stop chasing you? You wanna know why they're there ask them."

"Ask them? I can't just ask them even if I did, I probably won't answer." 

"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer."

I nodded. Yeah but in this case I don't have any friends."
