"Laini hurry the fuck up you worthless piece of shit and get out my house." My brother yelled at me.
I wiped my tears and began gathering my belongings putting them in a trashbag. While I was packing he continued to yell and call me names.

Hold up, they don't love you like I love you Slow down, they don't love you like I love you Back up, they don't love you like I love you Step down, they don't love you like I love you
I song along with Beyoncé as I got ready for work. It had been three days since the whole situation with Tyla and momma T. Everything was going great you can say i was still staying at the hotel, im still in school and i still have my job at footlocker so i guess everything was going good for me. I was finishing up the last touches to my hair when my music got cut off by my phone ringing, it was Zion for like the 100th time since i stood him up Sunday. He kept calling and trying to check up on me but in all honesty i just wasnt looking into all that, with it being too many rumors about be hoeing around and being with older men i didnt want to add anything on to those rumors so i was tryna keep my distance from him. Although i did talk to his little sister Zionnah and i checked up on him through her from time to time i never actually responded to him. Declining his call I continued to do my hair. I unplugged the flat irons and began to put my hair stuff back in my bag . Making sure everything was in place, I grabbed my purse and made my way towards the elevators. When i got to the elevators i pushed the down arrow and waited until it stopped at my floor. While waiting i began to mumble the same lyrics to this beat that was stuck in my head. Hearing the bell ding from the elevators stopping i climbed on and pushed the button for the garage that was specifically made for visitors staying more than a weekend. When the elevators made it to the garage i began making my way to my car but I stopped abruptly when i noticed a firgure leaning on my car on their phone squinting my eyes to see who it was i smacked my lips when i finally did. Fuck he doing here 🙄

I took out my keys and began walking once i made it infront of the firgure i crossed my arms and looked up at his tall figure.
"" what you doing here " i questioned rolling my eyes. He put his phone away and stared at me for while.
"You know why im here " he replied crossing his arms and legs leaning back more on the back of my car he turned his head side ways and flashed me a sinister smile.
" if i did I wouldn't be questioning you now would i " i clapped back walking around to the drivers side of the car. I didnt have time to stand around and play blue clues with him i had to get to work grown people 💁🏽♀️shit you know.
"I just came to deliver a message for Isaiah , he still wants his money you know "he said following behind. Unlocking the door i got in and started the car up. I looked back up at Dre
" ima tell you like i told him i didnt steal from his bitch ass yall need to check that sonni bitch that seems to always have my name in her dick sucker so fuck you, isaiah and everbody else with yall broke asses ". I stated closing my car door and backing out.
"Motherfuckers really outchea threatening me about money they dont got ,like where the fuck his no job having ass get 5,000 dollars from gone try to punk me like ima weak bitch not today satan not today i beat em dead for i let them try me stupid trick ass bitches ooooouuuu the making my fucking blood pressure go up with this bullshit and then this nigga had the nerves the audacity to lean his flithy broke ass on my car like who the fuck he thought he was ole james bond wanna be ass nigga " i ranted to myself while driving to work shaking my head i cut on the music and drove the rest of the way to work in deep thought still mad this nigga tried to pull up on me like mhow even know where im at 💁🏽♀️🤦🏾♀️🙄.
Pulling into the mall entrance i pulled up in front of the food court parking lot since it was near footlocker. Getting out i stopped by Annies cart to get cinnamon roll bites before making my way to footlocker and clocking in.
"Hey jimmy ". I said once i came from clocking in . "Hey lai , just to let you know its a man that came by today looking for you i told him you come in 3 so he may make his way back here ." He said before walking to help out customers. Blowing out a breath i could only think of two possible people it could be Zion or Isaiah, and im kinda hoping neither. Ringing up the customers shoes & clothes i sung along with the music that was playing all through the store.
"Its a shame i have to track you down at work just to talk to you Alaini " i heard a voice say from behind the man and women in front of me. "Thanks for shopping at Footlocker, come again ". I told them handing them there card & receipt. Looking up I rolled my eyes at who i seen. Zion 🙄 " I been busy dealing with personal stuff Zion you didnt fit into my schedule " i told him leaning on the counter. " And all im trying to do is make sure you straight, Z told me about you and tyla lil situation and i wanted to tell you that you could crash at my place until you get your own spot . " he responded putting his hands in his pockets. " thanks for the offer but just like i told Zionnah im straight where im at Now if you can excuse me i have a job to do . " i told him walking around the counter to help a customer who was waving me over.
Zion POV
I never meet somebody so stubborn before most people would jump head first if someone offered to help them out when they NEED it but not Lai. She was miss INDEPENDENT, shaking my head i walked out to store and made my way to my car i had work in a few . I wouldnt stop trying with Alaini though i needed to pay her back some way so my Conscience could leave me the he'll alone. Pulling into work i made my way to my booth i was a tattoo artist down a Inked on 16th street. Sitting down at my desk i began to sketch the tattoo i would be doing in at 3:30 no matter how hard i tried to concentrate my mind just kept going back to Alaini and her situation and how she refused any help. Zionnah had been trying to convince her to take up my offer every since i brought it up but she always said the same thing ' im good where im at'. Smh a 16 year old girl should not be living by herself in a hotel .
