Jade.

I sipped on my straw from a cup full of ice cold water as I sat in the truck at a red light. I had to push the seat back some because my babies are getting big in the oven.

I rubbed my belly and felt 3 kicks at the same time. "Ouch," I winced in pain.

"Don't have too much fun in there." I pointed at my belly. I looked up and the light was green, so I sped off.

I hooked up my phone to the auxiliary cord and went to Pandora. I tapped on the Lyfe Jennings radio and sat my phone in my lap. Immediately, Cry played through the speakers.

"Ohhhh this my song, boy!!" I held my hands up in defense with a satisfying look. Good thing I ended up at a red light again.

"But over the years I thought it over
And after struggling for so long and still holding on
I figured, can't be nothing all that wrong with crying
If anybody says that they're that strong they're lying"

I sung the song to the best of my ability. This was my favorite song and I couldn't get it outta my head.

I continued to sing with my eyes on the road as the light turned green.

The song went off soon after and I got a call. I looked down and saw Quan's masculine figure appear on my screen.

I smiled remembering that we engaged in some sexual activity before we left.

He had to go check up on something with the guys but I knew that was a lie because yesterday everything was fine. I gave up in trying to figure out what he really was trying to do because I trust him.

I dropped him off and left to go shopping.

I slid the button over and put the phone to my ear.

"Hello?" I drove off.

"Hey baby what you doing?" His deep voice came through the phone.

"On my way to the mall, you must need me to pick you up?" I asked.

"Yeah we done right now, taking a break. This some hard shit so we gonna finish the rest tomorrow." He sighed. He sounded exhausted.

"Ok baby I'm on the way—"

Those we my last words before I felt a vast movement his my right side. My head hit the window and I felt blood splatter on my body. Glass emptied the windshield and scattered all over the truck, including my body.

I felt pain everywhere, then I felt no pain when everything went dark.

...

I awoke laying on my back. The floor was cold but the room was warm. I sat up and immediately felt pain.

"Ouch." I winced. I looked down at my belly and realized that my babies are still with me. I rubbed my belly and felt 4 kicks. I'm relieved that they're alive and still active.

It took me awhile to stand to my feet but then I realized that a chain was locked to my right ankle. It was connected to a black heavy ball sitting on the cold, dirty floor.

"Shit!" I mumbled. I looked at my ankle there was a key slot. Great, but where's the key?

I dragged the ball with me to a tall dirty door. It had an opening with bars going down it as if I was in prison.

"Hey?!" I yelled. I banged on the door with my fist.

"Hello? Who are you?!" I screamed but banged on the door even louder.

My fist began to throb in pain. I slowly slid down the wall and cried. I had blood all on me and untreated cuts from the glass on the truck. I know I look terrible.

How will Quan ever find me here?

...

Quan.

"Hey baby what you doing?" I answered sitting down in the computer chair.

"On my way to the mall, you must need me to come pick you up?" She asked.

"Yeah we done right now, taking a break. This some hard shit so we gonna finish the rest tomorrow." I sighed thinking bout all the shady business I'm hiding from her.

"Ok baby I'm on the way—" I heard a loud crash from the other end of the phone. I jumped cause it was so sudden.

I heard the windshield break and one last crash, then the line went dead.

"Hello!!?" I yelled looking at the phone. I threw it on the carpet.

"Aye! One of y'all call Kev." I got up and pulled my pants up.

"What happened-" One of my workers asked. "I SAID CALL KEV RIGHT NOW NIGGA!! THEN CALL 911!" I banged on the desk. My worker stumbled out of his seat and ran to his phone on the charger.

I sat in the chair and sat my head in my hands. I sat there and cried. I cried for a while and got up. I grabbed my phone and ran out the door. I don't have one of me and Jade's vehicles so I ran. I don't have a clue where I'm going but I gotta go find my baby.
