Cheryl's Point Of View

7:37 p.m

When I arrived to Inaya's house- I already felt as if something were automatically off and wrong. Yeah, her appointment lights were on but....I just felt as if my friend really needed me. The way her voice sounded over the phone was full of fright and I've never heard her sound that way- ever. I started to go up the stairs that lead to her front door- I then looked around to make sure that nobody was gonna try to creep up on my neck outside. You've gotta be extra careful around this time in New York- even though any time is really a time of needed carefulness. I come to this area a lot anyways but I live on the other side of the Brooklyn bridge.

I pressed the door bell but as I did so- I noticed that the door was already cracked open. I looked back and forth outside as I put my hand on the door knob and slowly opened the door even more.

"Inaya?" I said in a whisper as I finally walked into the house. Everything in me told me to leave but- I couldn't do that to her. Even though the only thing I could think about were being safe and getting back home to my family.

Everything was so silent in her house. I walked into her kitchen and I saw that she was in the middle of making dinner, I guess. Everything still looked so fresh and carelessly left out in the open.

I didn't know what was going on- I then went upstairs to look around a little it. Nobody was downstairs at all.

As I went upstairs, I heard someone crying down the hallway. My heart was beating really fast....I don't like going to check shit out by myself but- I had to go see who it was.

"Inaya." I said again as I looked down the long, dark hallway.

"Shit." I said to myself as I put one of my hands on my face. I really had to go through with this. I took a deep breath and went to go open the door to Bre's room.

"CHERYL!" Inaya yelled as I walked in. I screamed and jumped.

"What the hell?!" I said as I looked at Inaya.

"Why are you yelling?" Inaya asked me. Inaya was sitting on Bre's bed and I saw Bre there just crying her eyes out.

"What do you mean why in the hell am I crying? Your ass is the one who scared the shit outta me!" I told her as I walked into Bre's room. "Excuse my language, Bre." I said as I looked at her.

"Come our here with me." Inaya said as she pulled me out of Bre's room. I was upset because I thought that something was seriously wrong when she called me. Come to find out- her ass is fine.

"I outta thump your ass." I told her as I looked frustrated with her.

"Why?" She asked me as she tried to keep her voice down so that Bre couldn't hear her.

"I thought that something was SERIOUSLY wrong? Why is your door open?" I asked her.

"Because I knew you were coming and I had to talk to Bre so....I left it cracked for you. You're only coming from the other side of the bridge." She told me.

"Do-...have you forgotten where we live at? Somebody could have walked in here on you two. Don't do that." I told her.

"Whatever. We are fine and something serious did happen. Her dad came by today." Inaya told me. My face went blank.

"Well....what did he want?" I asked her as I leaned against the wall.

"He wanted to see her." Inaya told me.
