The Group Chat 2 [Slow Updates]

[56]

'What did you do now?'

'I didn't do anything wrong ! They just like messing with me because they know that I'm crazy.' She spoke, voice coming off as nothing but emotionless and nonchalant as she leaned her arms on the cold, round metal table in between us.

I wanted to reach over and give her hug. I wanted to tell her that everything was going to be okay and that she just needs the time in here to better herself, to understand that she was in the wrong and to learn from her mistakes. But it's hard with her, she just simply doesn't listen and she apparently has her own little way of handling things, a way that leads to nothing but destruction and tears and sometimes, blood. But even if she won't listen, that doesn't mean I'm giving up on her. I don't think I ever could.

I wanted to give her the biggest hug I could muster up but I couldn't, for as soon as stepped up to her short frame with open arms and a genuine smile a security guard held out his hand, signaling for me to stop as the words "no physical contact" came out of his mouth. I just stopped, eyebrows furrowed before sitting down opposite of Nijia and frowning.

'You're not crazy, you're just-'

'Different ? Conflicted, confused? God, you say that shit so much it's driving me insane.' She mumbled, rolling her eyes in the process.

'It's true-'

'Nyier.' She interrupted.

'What ?' I asked, the aching pain in my chest growing within every second that flies by.

'Shut up. Stop sugarcoating everything. Be honest with me and stop sounding like a character out of a Disney movie.'

'I am being honest though !' I snapped, unknowingly. It's stressful that she doesn't have faith, or any hope. 'You're not crazy, you'll get through all of this.'

'You really do want me to believe that, don't you?'

'It would be nice if you tried.' I spoke, hushed tone on the verge of cracking.

She sighed, her head down in defeat, instantly breaking my heart altogether. She looked so tired, so out of it. There was a pain in her big bright eyes that she'd try to hide with a slight smile. A smile that reminded me of her identical half, a smile that they'd both use when they were trying to cover up the fact that they were hurting. 'Thas the thing Nyier, I don't think that I can.'

'Tell Avery that I'll give him full custody of Auyden, okay ? I love you.' Was all she could say before quickly kissing my cheek and leaving with a guard right behind her.

That was hours ago, and I've been cooped up in my room with the babies all day since then. I've been avoiding everyone except for La'Niya and my husband of course. But I couldn't even find it in me to open the text messages I'd gotten from Avery, or Erin, or Angelo, and even Kenny. I didn't want to.

'You haven't moved from that spot since you got home. '

'I was just tired.' I semi- lied. I am tired, but that's not why I haven't got up yet. I guess I was just too distracted in my thoughts that I let the hours go by rather faster than what they should've. I didn't even notice that it was dark out until I took a look out of the window. I didn't notice when Meech came in here earlier to take all three of the sleeping babies to their room.

'You can't even lie to me good.' Demetrius chuckled, making my heart flutter at the sound of his voice. 'Wasup wit chu?' He asked before sitting next to me and wrapping his arm around my waist, kissing me on the forehead.
