JOSH'S POV
I know Dre was wrong for doing my sister like that but I talked to him about it and he said he tried to talk to her about it but she just got up and left. I know who Saul is and what happened with them and since he out here trying to get my sis I'm not leaving her side. I don't care what she say.
"Josh get out of my cab"
"Do I have stupid written on my forehead? I already know you probably up to something and with Saul out here you not finna be by yourself"
"Fine suit yourself"
She told the driver an address to one of the worst, most ganged places here in New York. I looked at her like she was crazy but she didn't look at me so I just stayed quiet.
"LaLa where are you going?"
"I told you I'm meeting up with Saul"
"And you was just finna go there by yo self? Nossa hold on"
LALANI'S POV
He started talking on the phone and I just stared out the window until I heard him say he was going to need back up. I looked at him upside his head like he was crazy.
"Josh..."
"Uh uh don't Josh me stare out the window unless you gone turn this taxi around", I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms staring back out the window.
I had no idea where we were going until we finally made it there. I was nervous cause it reminded me where I had to go to their house and do what they made me do. Josh came and held me as I walked to the door. I did the secret knock I remember we had and I was let in. I almost cried looking at all the girl strung out on drugs. I walked through until I heard men voices and I saw Saul.
I never knew what I'd do if I saw him again. Kill him, talk to him, forgive him I didn't know. But when I seen his face he looked like he was sick or something and he looked pale like he was dying.
"LaLa I didn't know you were coming so *cough soon", he sat down in his seat looking like he could pass out at anytime. "Sit down please"
"Actually I'd rather not. What do you want? And no funny stuff"
"Listen I'm just trying to make all my wrongs right. I'm sorry for what I did and I know I ruined your innocent life but if you could just forgive me and pray for me. I have stage 4 lung cancer. I'm done with this sex trafficking and I want all the girls here to get clean and get saved before I go. I've done a lot of wrong in my life and I just want to be right with The Lord before I go"
"Wow that's a lot to take in right now", I said holding my chest looking down whispering to myself. "I do forgive you and I wish you the best of luck with that. I'll pray for you but why would you threaten my mom to get me here?"
"Because I knew that's the only way you would come. I wouldn't really do anything to your mom I just needed to get you here"
"Uh huh well I wish you the best of luck. All prayers go out to you but I just want you to know you damaged me. I'm out here losing my mind because I don't know what to do. I don't go out and live life because I'm scared of someone making me do what you made me do. I'm scared to have a relationship with anyone other than God because if I get close we might get married and I'll have a daughter who will have to go through what I did. And that's so,etching I wouldn't wish in my worst enemy"
"I know and I'm sorry. I wish I could take it back..."
"No you don't you're just saying that because you're dying but if that's what it takes then whatever. Bye", I turned around and walked out with Josh hot on my trails. I walked off with my head held high happy I faced the demon controlling my life but I still didn't feel safe though.
