His Property

Ch. 13

None of us said a word after. The only thing that could be heard was the tv running on in the background. As much as I hated thinking, the thought of Elijah and Damon killing people just for drugs and money made my skin crawl with goosebumps. Not only were they involved, jack was too and the risk of maybelline ever being in trouble was high.

"Look sabri, I know it is a lot to process, especially because you barely met the guy but, they have it handled. They know what they got theirselves into the moment they decided to join along." May said as she sipped her cup of coffee.

"How did you even know I was thinking about all of this?" I asked her laying back down on the floor looking up at the chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

"I mean yo have not said a word since I told you." Well that was true. None of us had anything to say honestly. It seemed like this whole thing was consuming us when really it was none of our business.

"I am worried but it has nothing to do with Elijah. I care about you and being jacks girl makes yo a target for all of his enemies." I told her sincerely.

"I dont run a high risk. Jack is not as well known as damon and elijah. Plus, jack gets along with everyone that is willing to make business with him."

I felt like I needed to go. I most definetly needed to go home and rest and just take my mind off of everything.

"I think I will be heading home anyways. I just want to clear my head up for a bit. Plus, I will probably will not see Elijah. At least not in a while. I will try to avoid him as best as possible. " I stood up from the floor and went to put on my heels. I was about to put on my coat when Alex spoke up.

"You know, I hope you are not actually trying to avoid us. Being friends with us does not make you a next target so do not worry. I mean I have nothing to do with anything that is going on so really, you should not either." She was still looking down at her phone probably playing 8 ball. I mean she was right. It was none of or business.

"You are right. And because it hyas nothing to do with us, I am not planning on seeing Elijah so please do not give him my number or for a matter of fact, even tell him where I live. It is not my concern." I said.

"That is what you say now." May spoke up.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" I asked her.

"Nothing boo. Just go and rest. I will pass by after for our sushi date." Alex said flashing a grin towards me finally looking up from her phone.

"Hey. Not cool. I want to tag along too." May whined.

"Too bad hoe. You have a boyfriend to take care of. Let us single ladies have some fun." Alex said yet again.

Before they could continue arguing, I opened the door and stepped out making my way towards the side walk.

Walking home would not be a problem. I just needed to hurry up because it looked as if soon it would start raining.

I had finally arrived home and I quickly ran up to my room to see that my phone was laying by the corner of my untidy bed.

I grabbed it and decided to check on it.

I had a bunch of missed calls from my parents and multiple texts of other friends talking about random stuff.

One message however , caught my attention.

It was from my guy best friend, nolan.

Nolan and I met at college about two years ago at some frat party. Nolan is extremely hot but as I said again, nothing but friends.

From nolan:

Hey girlie. I hope you are not missing me too much ;) I am coming home in a week or so, so please make sure to shove your refrigerator with loads of food because I am bringing a friend over too. I met him at the airport and is going to boston for the holidays so yeah it is just a heads up!

A smiled formed my face as I read Nolans text out loud. My best guy friend was coming over in a week and I have come to realize how much I miss him.

Nolan went to spain to visit his mother just for thanksgiving. He promised to stay with me for christmas because we lost a bet on who would throw a huge party that would last until new years.

I needed nolan here already. He could be my distraction.

I relpied to his text back before I decided to unzip myself out of this dress and take a shower.

Walking into the bathroom was a nightmare. My hair was everywhere and I literally smelled like trash. My makeup was smeared everywhere.

I turned on some classical jazz music in the background, filled in the bathtub with hot running water and slipped in to meditate.

Might as well try to drown myself. I thought.

You know what? I will just wait till Nolan gets here. Maybe we can both drown together.
