🌤️THE NEXT MORNING 🌤️
"Hunny breakfast is ready" my mother shouted. I groaned while getting up, went to the bathroom doing my hygiene, and putting on my silk red robe "Coming momma". I grabbed my phone then headed downstairs to the kitchen giving my mom a kiss on the cheek "Morning momma". She smiled and gave me flowers "For you". I grabbed them and admired them "Aww mommy you didn't have to get me the-". I cut off my sentence by looking at the card.

"Dear Queen,
  I know last night I was upset about us just being friends because how can say this without being called a weird ass nigga hm welp let's just say every since freshman year you been the girl I wanted to make mines just wanna show sum different then Chris treating you like shit everyday"

                      -Clarence

"Whose is it from" my mom asked looking up at me. "A close friend of mine" I smiled smelling the flowers then putting them in a vase. "Well sit down baby I have to talk to you" my pulled a chair out for me and patted the seat. I did as told and looked at ready for what I'm about to hear. "Principal Franklin called earlier telling me about the incident...... Chris been beating you" she held my hand while rubbing it. I couldn't help but break down "Yes momma I'm sorry I didn't tell you I was scared if he was going to beat till I'm dead". She pulled me into a hug "It's okay I'm here now". I sobbed loudly on my mom's shoulder "I'm sorry momma". She rubs my back "It's okay baby momma got you okay everything will be okay".

"Call me if you need anything baby" She tucked me in bed. "Okay momma have a good day at work okay" I nodded. She kissed my cheek"You sure you'll be fin-". I cut her off "Yes mom I'll be fine my close friend Clarence is coming by shortly so I won't be alone". She nodded and left out my room leaving out the house. I sighed by all this work I have to do but by the help Clarence it should be done way more faster so I won't have more homework to do when coming home from work.

While waiting on Clarence I started writing in my song lyrics book the stuff that's on my mind and how I feel. I reread it over and sing it out loud to make sure it sounds right and makes sense.
"You tell me love me but I ain't been feeling it lately you say you love keeping fly but keeping me looking so crazy coming at six in the morning where ya been where ya been who's is that texting ya phone just a friend just a friend okay....." I sang and wrote more as I go. "Beautiful" Clarence clapped. I jumped up looking at him "Clare you scared me". I shoved my book in my night stand drawer, but he pulled his hand out "Lemme see". I looked up at him giving it to him "Don't laugh". He read it going back and forth walking around the room. I just bit my lip because nobody has ever read my song book not even Ari. "This is good queen but one question" he handed it back to me. "thanks and sure" I put my book were it belongs. "Is it true" he looked at me. I leaned back on my headboard nodding at him. He look through the pain in my eyes the hurt the lies I've been told "Let's uh start this homework before it gets late". I get out my homework from this week while Clarence did the same.

🌇LATER THAT DAY🌇
Tired of working we took a power nap before I head to work. I lift my head up off Clarence's chest looking at my clock, I tap his nose "Hey we gotta get ready to go Clare". He groans "ight you ready ". I slowly got up "nope give me 8 minutes". He said okay mumbling and going back to sleep, I ran to my bathroom and rushed to get ready.

I looked in the mirror and fixing my clothes feeling something wrong with this outfit.

Clarence appeared behind me, wrapped his arms around me, and kissed my cheek "You look beautiful"

Clarence appeared behind me, wrapped his arms around me, and kissed my cheek "You look beautiful". I grinned looking at him through the mirror "Thanks Clare". All of a sudden his phone's rings, he gets it and takes it outside my room. I over heard the conversation near the door. "ight I'm omw rn ight see you there" he whispered. I went back to the mirror and stood there minding my business. "Hey queen uh my boss called me it's urgent" he peeks his head in room. "yeah fine go" I go on my phone texting Ari. "I'll see you later on tonight tho" he tells me while I'm not paying him no mind. The door shut and I plotted down on my bed thinking. Ari texted back "We don't have work today I called in". Ugh what a relief now I can get some sleep, but first take a shower.

I opened my bathroom door coming freshly out noticing my room door was open "Did I open the door". I went over there and shut the door, then hearing a creek from my closet. I stood still trying to hear anything else strange. BOOM!, The closet door swung open so I heard, I turned around quickly getting snatched up by......."Chris" I cried out. He pinned me up against the wall putting his print on my thigh "So you acting like a hoe huh". I shook my head no. He slammed me down on the floor while I still hold my towel wrapped around me. He leaned down to me "Take this off now". I cried out to him "Chris plz". He pulled his gun out to my face "Stfu and do or I'll blow ya fucking head off". I slowly stood removing my towel feeling uncomfortable. He touched me making me flinch and my body to shiver. I heard his belt buckle unloosen, and felt a hard whip against my bottom "Who pussy is this!". I couldn't help but sob "Yours Chris". He whipped me harder on my back side "Who!". I cried once more "Yours daddy". He man handle me on the bed "Yeah I'ma show u it's my by force". I tried fighting him off me "Chris no stop it plzzz". He connected his fist to my already bruised face over and over again and again. All I could feel is the pain between my legs.
