Nia woke up to her phone lighting up. She took it off Trey's night stand and answered it.

"Nia Renee Williamson! Where in God's name are you?!". Sasha yelled.

"I fell asleep at Jameer's house". She yawned.

"Oh ok. A text would be nice next time. Have Jameer bring you home when you all wake up". Sasha sighed in relief.

"Ok. Love you Ma and I'm sorry". Nia apologized.

"I love you too. And I'll see you when you get home". Her Mom hung up.

Nia laid back down and drifted off to sleep.

11:42am

Nia woke up again to music playing. She looked around and Trey was still sleep.

"Trey, what's that music". Nia shook him.

"My Dad plays music on Sundays to clean up the house". He replied his eyes still closed.

Nia's eyes went wide.

Then Trey jumped up.

"Oh shit. We gotta go". He grabbed his keys.

He pulled Nia behind him and opened his bedroom door. He looked out into the hallway and didn't see his Dad.

He pulled Nia behind him and looked into the living room. His Dad wasn't there. Trey pulled Nia quickly toward the door and opened it.

They jogged to Trey's car and got in.

"Man, he wasn't supposed to come back till tomorrow. I'm sorry babe". Trey apologized.

"It's fine. I would've did the same shit". Nia shrugged.

They pulled up to Nia's house.

"Thanks so much for last night". Nia kissed his cheek.

"That baby ass kiss?". He scrunched up his face.

"Boy neither of us brushed our teeth so that's all you getting for now". Nia giggled getting out the car.

She jogged to her front door and unlocked it.

She waved to Trey and he drove off.

"Momma I'm home!". Nia called.

"Nia!". Her Mom came running out the kitchen.

"What's goin on?". Nia frowned.

"The police are here. Anaya didn't come home last night". She spoke making Nia's heart drop.

Nia slowly walked to the kitchen and two officers approached her.

"Your the best friend of Anaya Demetry correct?". One of them asked Nia.

"Yes". Nia answered.

"When was the last time you seen Anaya?". The other cop asked.

"Last night. She was getting ready for a date with a guy named Derrick. She told us he was 23 and we told her not to go. But she said she would be fine". Nia spilled.

At this point, snitching was out of Nia's mind. Her best friend may be in danger.

"By we you mean who?". The cop asked.

"Me and our other best friend Jameer". Nia replied.

He wrote more things down.

"And where were you last night?". He questioned.
