Shania's arm finally healed and she was back to be her normal active self. She was still pretty cautious about it though, just not as much as when it was all wrapped up. It was still funny how she has this story to tell when someone asks what the scar on her arm is from. "Oh, my parents had me shot by a cop." She always laughed at it. She wished her parents weren't so overprotective when it came to Chresanto though because just then everything would be fine. Shania knew that whether her parents liked it or not she was moving out and going far away from them. It seemed to be her only choice. If she didn't, her parents would continue trying to control her no matter how old she was.

"So here's the deal," Chresanto started. "You gonna go to Miami with Jayda and get settled in or whatever. Then two weeks later me and JJ gonna come down."

"We gotta be there alone just us two? For two weeks in a house?" She asked giving him a very harsh raised eyebrow. "Around no one we know? Alone???"

"Man, EJ gonna be there with y'all, you gon be safe. It's only two weeks Shi." He rolled his eyes out of frustration. "The reason I'm planning it this way is bc your parents gonna see me around here and ask where you are."

She started to put it together. "And you're going to tell them you haven't talked to me in some weeks?"

"Right. But I'll give them a little info but not a lot. Give em a run down like you moved away and we broke up for real so we really don't talk."

Shania nodded her head slowly. "Okay, okay. It makes sense now. And after they keep seeing you out in public without me, they gon stop sweating you."

"Exactly." Chresanto said with a smirk.

"Then you'll come here and we're all good. Got it." She smiled. That plan was perfect. "Have you searched for houses yet?"

"Huh? Oh, I already got one. It all falls in line with the plan."

Shania was confused again. "What? How?"

"Remember when I told you I had to make a drop outta state?"

"And you left me here so I still think you was with another bitch? Yeah, I remember, why?" She rolled her eyes.

Chres just stared at her with the most annoyed face ever. "Aight, we'll continue this convo some other time cause you trippin." He said getting up to walk away.

"Oh all of a sudden you don't wanna talk when I bring up you and another bitch? Interesting."

He ignored her walking into the kitchen and started making himself a drink. Any time he goes out of state she thinks he cheats on her which isn't ever true. He does what he says he does and comes back home. Plus, the previous history of her accusing him.. didn't end too well. He'll never forget that night he slapped her even though it was real blurry for him. His anger issues and her accusations were never a good mix. He hated being accused of something he really didn't do. It always reminded him of the reason he stayed out of relationships for so long in the first place.

He tossed his drink back in a few sips then headed into his room, away from Shania. Of course that didn't last all that long because she came in to bother him again while he was rolling a blunt. Just as he was running the lighter over the blunt back and forth to seal it, his phone started ringing. It was on the bed so Shania could clearly see it from where she was. He ignored it, simply didn't look down to see who was calling or anything."
