Stab Her in Her Back

Chapter 1

Tracy
"Tell us what happened Ms. Foxx." The police officer said.
"Raniqua Martinez, Asia David, Cece Collins, and Felicia Jones murdered Kendal. I was there when it happened. They asked me to drive to Kendal's house and I did that. I was unaware of what was going on. The four of them went inside the house. Within 30 minutes they came in the car with blood all over them. They told me to drive but I was scared. Asia who was sitting in the front seat held a gun to my head so I drove all of them home. Then when I got home I cleaned the blood off my leather car seats and pretended like it didn't happen." I explained.
"So why did you decide to come?" The officer interrogated.
"I felt like it was the right thing to do." I replied.
"How long have you known these ladies?"
"All my life."
"Wow. That's quite surprising. Thank you Ms Foxx."
"You're welcome."
I got up from the table and grabbed my purse. I sashayed out of the station. I got in my 2016 Maxima and drove to my boyfriend's house. Jeremiah and I have been together for 7 months. I love him to death. I don't really think I can breathe without him.
I pulled in his driveway right behind his car. I hopped out of my car and opened his front door with my spare key. He gave me a key last month. He trusted me enough to give me the key.
I walked inside his house and closed the door behind me. I walked into his room and say him playing a game on his PlayStation. I can't breathe without him and he can't breathe without his PlayStation. That's some shit. I walked up to him and kissed him on his cheek. That grabbed his attention. He paused the game and looked at me. He licked his lips. "Damn mama." He said as he his eyes undressed me. "You look fine as fuck." He continued.
"Thank you baby." I sang sweetly.
"Who yo chocolate ass looking good for?"
"Only you darling."
"Better be."
"I was wondering if we could go out to lunch."
"Now?"
"Yeah it is half past noon."
"I'm in the middle of a game."
"You can finish when you come back."
"What if I cook for you?"
"That sounds way better. You haven't cooked for me in a long time."
"I know. I'm gonna cook with extra love."
"Okay baby."
I watched him get up and grab a shirt. His sexy ass is never wearing a shirt. Like ever. I walked out of his room and went into the living room. I sat on the couch and smoothed the wrinkles out of my dress. I turned on the tv and flipped through the channels. The aroma of onions and herbs filled the air, making me hungrier than I already am.

Asia
I love being single. Its way easier for me to live my life. Now that Kendal is out of the picture I don't have to worry. I can focus on my career now. Kendal was honestly a load. He was really jealous and he became abusive. To make matters even worse he molested my little sister. That's why he had to be executed.
"Ms. David can I use the bathroom?" One of my students asked.
"Sure." I replied.
I flipped through my grading book and made sure that I had all of my grades for my students. The school year is about to end soon. Finals are in two weeks. I can't wait until I have my summer vacation. I will have a break from  these imbeciles. Being a teacher can be very difficult sometimes. Everyone learns differently. Some children are really slow and some aren't. The bell rang for the day to end. Thank goodness. I packed up everything and left. Today is Friday I don't feel like waiting on my students to leave first. They take forever to get settled and to get their shit together. I walked down the hallway and exited the building. I made my way to my 2017 Ford Focus. I unlocked the car and got inside. I pulled down my visor and checked my appearance. I need to get my eyebrows done. I have too many stray hairs. My makeup still looks flawless. The sun started beating on my dark skin. I applied vaseline on my lips before starting my car. I put my visor back up and put my car in reverse. I slowly reverses out of the parking  space. I put my car in drive and followed the road out of the parking lot. 
I picked up the interstate and drove home.

When I got home my little sister was sleeping. Her  school is across the road from my apartment. She has been living with me since our parents died in a car accident. She hasn't been any trouble to me at all. She was depressed after the accident but I've been taking her to therapy. Sometimes I'd sit in the sessions with her. I love Africa to death. I wouldn't trade her for the world. She has been through so much and she's only 15. Sometimes I wish I could magically take the pain away for her.
I went in the kitchen and took out my ingredients for  lasagna. I placed a pan on the stove and added ground beef and ground pork. I turned the stove on high so that it would defrost as it cooked.
Then I put the pasta in a pot filled with water. I added some salt and olive oil. I put that burner on high as well. I chopped up my onions spinach and broccoli and set them aside.
Africa walked in the room rubbing her eyes.
"What's for dinner?" She asked.
"Lasagna." I replied.
She was so happy she immediately started helping me. Lasagna is her favorite thing in the world.

Cece
I picked up my son James and rocked him to sleep. He is finally settled. Nobody told me that being a mother would be stressful. Its even harder because my baby daddy is a lousy ass nigga. He barely bringing cheques, never willing to babysit, and he hardly sees his child. The funny thing is he wanted a baby. I was tipsy and down for whatever.
I laid James in his crib. I tiptoed out of the room. Finally some peace and quiet. I love my son but he is such a handful. He's only 7 months old. I can't wait until he gets a bit more independent. Then I wouldn't have to worry about my around the clock schedule.
I walked into the living room and sat on the couch. My phone started ringing. I answered it.
"You got my money?" I asked Jeremiah, James' father.
"Yeah now you could get off my dick." He replied.
"I ain't on it I'm just tryna keep our child alive."
"You acting like you broke."
"No nigga you acting like you broke! You can't even buy pampers for your own kid!"
"You could buy pampers too."
"I do Jeremiah! And James be shitting so much I basically go to the store every two weeks for pampers."
"Well if you buying pampers why do I have to buy pampers?"
"You're missing the point asshole. You hardly do shit for your son. You don't even see him. When he gets older he ain't gone recognize you."
"Whatever."
I ended the call. Jeremiah gets on my last damn nerve. I'm not even making and effort no more.  If he wants to be in his son's life he would be willing to see him and do his responsibilities. I laid in the couch and got really comfy. I drifted into sleep.

Raniqua
"Your loveeee is one in a millionnnn it goes on and on and on!" I sang through the house. "Shut up girl."
Felicia shouted. She threw a pillow at my head. I ducked and the pillow hit the wall. We are a bit too old for this now. Felicia is my best friend in the whole world. She is a real ride or die. I've known her all my life along with the rest of the girls. Asia Tracy Cece Felicia and I grew up on the same street. All of our moms knew each other. We would have sleep overs and throw parties and get into trouble together. Since we got out of high school life has been moving fast. All of us are still tight. Well Tracy is the only distant one. She never comes to our luncheons or brunch dates. She always has something to do. I feel like she on some foul shit but I could be wrong.
I picked up the pillow and carried it back to the couch. "I'm hungry." Felicia stated.
"You want pizza?" I asked.
"Yessss bihhh!!" She squealed. I handed her the land line and she called papa Johns. I sat on the couch next to Felicia. I drifted into deep thought.
That whole Kendal situation still got me fucked up. I feel bad for Asia and Africa. Its heart breaking that they had to go through that. I don't feel a bit of remorse for what happened to Kendal. He deserves it.
My phone rang. I looked at the screen. My boyfriend Shayne is calling me. A dumb ass smile came over my face.
"Hey teddy bear!" I answered.
"Hey cheesecake. What's up?" He replied in a raspy voice.
"I'm chilling with Felicia."
"Oh I just woke up and you were on my mind."
"Aww that's sweet."
"Yeah. I love you cheesecake."
"I love you too."
I ended the call. I swear he is so perfect. I miss cuddling with him. Ima thick chick so I had to get me a thick nigga. He ain't fat he just thick. And I love it. He has a long well groomed beard, and beautiful smooth brown skin. And the most mesmerizing brown eyes and a sleeve of tattoos on his right arm. Gosh I miss him. He is in Colorado for a business trip. He works at some executive office. Before he left for the trip he promised he would take me out when he gets back. I'm looking forward to it. I really am.

Felicia
I think Tracy and Raniqua are the only two who have boyfriends. The rest of us are enjoying the single life. Well..I'm in a more less complicated situation. I'm single for now. Lawrence and I have been off and on for the past two years. I think I'm too forgiving. He ain't never cheated but he's a work in progress. Its just he lacks sensitivity towards my feelings. So we are working on that. We just broke up because of a simple argument we had last week.
I was depressed as fuck and his ass was ignoring me and kept asking for head. It pissed me off so I told him to fuck off and not to call me.
The doorbell rang. I hope this is our pizza. I walked over to the door and opened it. Lawrence was standing in the doorway with flowers and a gift bag. Tears formed in my eyes. This is the sweetest thing he's ever done. I invited him inside. When Raniqua saw Lawrence she went in her room. She hates Lawrence. She never stays in the same room as him unless she has to. Lawrence and I sat on the couch and handed me the gift bag first. I stuck my hand inside and pulled out gift wrapped box. I opened it and saw beautiful earrings. The diamonds sparkles in the light. I cried tears of joy. I leaned over and kissed him.
"Thank you baby." I said.
"You're welcome." He replied. I carried the earrings and flowers in my room. I went back in the living room and saw Lawrence pay for the pizza. I called Raniqua out of her room. All of us sat on the couch and ate pizza.
