Zoey

I pulled up at Alana's crib and parked the car. It looked dark inside, so she probably fell asleep. I took out my gun putting it in the compartment. I walked up to the porch and knocked on the front door. It was cold as hell so I knocked harder before stuffing my hands in my pockets. Suddenly the door opened revealing a nigga in a ski mask, with the exact same hoodie as last time. Alana set me the fuck up. Then my dumb ass left the strap in the car. He chuckled then pulled me inside closing the door afterwards. A muffled scream caused me to look over. It was Alana tied up with tape over her mouth. She was crying and trying squirm her way out. I clenched my jaw then cursed under my breath.

"Sit the fuck down nigga!" The ski masked person ordered in a disguised voice.

"Or what nigga?"

"I'll blow this bitch brains out, killing her and that baby!"

I glanced at Alana then hesitantly sat down on the couch. I thought she was trying to set me up or something.

"What the fuck you want? Money?" I asked in a highly irritated tone.

He chuckled. "Nah nigga yo life. Three years I've been trying to kill you and now I've succeeded. So any last words?"

"Fuck you nigga." I spoke fearlessly looking him dead in the eye. This isn't the first time someone has threatened to kill me. I'm not phased by that shit anymore. I watched both my parents get gunned down at age thirteen. I didn't cry or feel one ounce of pity. They never did shit for me so why should I care.

He nodded then cocked back his pistol, aiming right at me. Before his finger could pull back the front door busted open. A bullet was shot right at his head causing instant death. My eyes looked over to see Zonnique. She was dressed in the same tshirt and shorts, along with uggs. I couldn't even think straight. How did she even know I was here? I got up from the couch walking over to her.

"How'd you know?"

"I had just gotten off the phone with Ro and he told me he just left Alex's house. Alex told him he was coming to some girl named Alana's house. Then I knew something was shady so I followed you." She explained nonchalantly.

"Wait.. why would you think Alex was shady?" I asked confusingly. Something wasn't adding up.

Zonnique sighed. "At the party I saw a guy wearing a last kings hoodie who shot you. Then I saw Alex at school with the exact same one. So I suspected he shot you." She crouched down and pulled the mask off revealing Alex. I widened my eyes in disbelief. This lil nigga tried to kill me. I can't even believe this shit.

I grew angry and punched the wall, pacing back and forth.

"Zoe-"

"You knew that nigga shot me and didn't say shit?" I asked gritting through my teeth.

"I just saved your life!" She screamed.

"Fuck that! You should've told me from jump Zonnique. You suppose to be my nigga though right? Fuck outta here. You probably was telling that nigga my whereabouts!" I snapped inching closer to her face.

Her face shaded into a tint of deep red and she clenched her jaw. "Really?"

"Yeah really. The fuck you looking surprised for? I knew I should have never started hanging around your sus ass."

"Well fuck you Zoey!" Zonnique yelled before storming out.
