A Thug's Cry

Chapter 29

Maleyse Pov

"Babe..someone's at the door!" I yelled from the top of the stairs. I called out to Chance as best as I could over the Trap music him and his friends had blaring from his speakers.

"Get it Im busy." He yelled back up.

I rolled my eyes as I tiredly strolled to answer the door. I grunted outloud to let him hear my annoyance.

I yanked the door open. "Whaa.." I was about to ask before I realized no one was standing on the other side. I glanced down at my feet noticing a medium sized brown box on the porch.

I bent down slowly making sure my bump was out of reach, before lifting it and taking it inside.

"Baby you got a package.." I sat the box down on the table.

"Im doing something just see what it is."he grunted as he tapped his fingers rapidly on his playstation controller.

I rolled my eyes, waving the smoke from their blunts out of my face. I grabbed the car keys that were hanging on the wall hook and dug the end into the tape on the box.

The tape punctured making one side flop half open. I peeled the rest off and peered inside.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!!" I screamed outloud. I was looking at the face of the girl I met at the mall. It was only her head. I immediately grew sick and emptied my insides onto the floor.

Chance Pov

I jumped up rushing over to see what made her scream. "Fuckk!!.. get this shit out of here." I ordered

"Yall pack it up and meet me at the warehouse in a hour."

"Ight boss." The left out carrying the box with them.

I bent down scooping Maleyse off the floor and laying her on the sofa.

"I gotta handle this, I'll be back later on."

Deyla Pov

I had finally saved up enough from my job, and the money I had from August to get my own place. I was going to miss being around Eric everyday but we aren't dating and I need my own space.

I don't think I'll ever put myself back in a position where I would have to leave, if something in my relationship went wrong.

"I have to run back to my mom's place to get the rest of my stuff." I told eric who was sitting on my guest bed.

"You sure you don't need help?" He offered me again. I knew he was somewhat upset I was leaving but he also understood.

"We can still have our sleepovers." I smirked

He chuckled and nodded.

"I meant to make you mine while you were here." He stood up and removed my hands from the pile of clothes I was folding.

"Ericc..." I whinned

"I know you need time..but just know I'm waiting..everybody ain't out to hurt you." He pulled me into his arms.

He was so warm and everything just felt so right, but I still needed time to heal.

"How could I forget." I smiled and pulled away. "Im going to get my stuff really quick."

"I might be here when you get back."

I nodded and grabbed my keys from the dresser. I pulled my hoodie over my head and left for my old apartment.

I let my mind wonder while I drove the way back. Why was I putting my life on pause for someone who never meant me any good? Why should I be a victim? I sighed and pulled into the empty parking space.

"Aye baby you back!!" One of the neighbors called as I jogged up the stairs. I waved at him and continued moving.

I put my old key into the bolt lock and twisted it back and forth a few times, before the latch unlocked. I slipped in quietly trying not to disturb anyone.

"Maleyse you here??" I called out.

"Nah but I am—." I turned around and saw Chance move from behind the door.

I reached for the knob and he slammed the door shut placing the lock back in place.

He pushed me backwards making me trip over my own two feet.

"Please— I just need my things." I began to cry outloud.

"And I need something too." He stood over me and stroked the side of my face.
