Joy
"Your shitting me right?" I asked Taylor as she went on and on about Khalil moving a woman into the house. Not just any woman but Natasha the woman that had set him up. I crumbled in that moment. Rodney was watching me closely.
"Joy" He said softly.
"I have to go Taylor." I hung up the phone and just looked at Rodney. "He moved another woman into the house." Rodney looked pissed.
"I have to go get my things. All my things are there. He can have all of it but I need my pictures of Summer and I and my clothes." I was walking around confused in circles. Rodney grabbed me.
"Joy it's okay your not alone." I took a deep breath and suddenly I was crying like a child.
"Yes I am oh God I'm alone again and it hurts." I was crying so hard snot was running from my nose. Rodney just held me and let me cry. When it was over he agreed to take a few days off so he could load whatever I wanted in his truck and I wouldn't need to pay for a Uhaul. I wasn't strapped for cash. I had money from the sell of my house and he knew that like I did but he didn't want me to be alone and I didn't want to be alone. We drove down that day and when we pulled up I had no idea how to approach the situation I was not a confrontational female but this was a lot. I didn't know rather to use my key. I looked at Rodney for guidance. "If anybody touch you I will go to jail male or female I got you." He said giving me the most serious look.
"Thank you." I slid out his truck and used my key to open the door and lay it on the table when I came in. The house was quiet and I seriously did not want to walk in the bedroom and they were in there sleep or something. So I went to the basement where all my boxes where and started going through them looking for my most personal belongings. The next thing I knew is a felt a sharp pain in my head. Somebody struck me with something then there was darkness.
"Is she alive?" I heard a female voice saying.
"Joy, Joy wake up" I heard Khalil say. My eyes blinked open and I pulled away from him. I touched my head and felt wetness.
"Don't touch me!" I screamed pulling away from him.
"It's okay Joy it's me" He said. I looked back and forth between them both and scooted away. I tried sitting up but I felt dizzy. Khalil tried pushing me back down.
"You shouldn't move" he said.
"Don't touch me!" I screamed at him louder. I was dizzy and confused and afraid. I reached in my pocket and felt my phone. I called Rodney. "Please come in I'm down in the basement" I said handing up the phone. I looked at them again "Don't come near me!" Rodney sounded like thunder coming down those steps. He rushed to my side "What happen" he said taking a handkerchief from his pocket and putting it against my head.
"I think someone hit me with a shovel" I said looking at them both.
"Hold up who are you?" Khalil asked looking at Rodney.
Rodney turned and looked at him like he was short. "Nah bro I'm asking the questions! Who the hell hit her?" He demanded.
"I'm sorry I thought she was the crazy lady that was peeking through the windows the other day." Natasha said. Rodney scooped me up and I lay my head on his chest and wrapped my arms around his neck as he carried me upstairs.
"Wait, wait wait! Where are you taking her Joy will you talk to me" Khalil said. He sounded upset and frustrated.
Rodney turned to face him with me in his arms "If I put her down I'm fucking you up. Back the hell up!" Rodney demanded.
"Put her down" Khalil said and at the point Rodney practically dropped me on the couch and he and Khalil were rolling around on the floor like wild boars.
