We met. We loved. We fought. We hated each other. We survived. But in the end we loved. That's all we needed was love.
"I'm going to always be by your side."
Mariah'sP.O.V Alarm goes off Ugh. 4:30 a.m. great another day at the diner I'm 18 and Living in the low ends of manhattan working at a 5-9 job for some shitty diner I would hope one day I can make my passion as one of the greatest singer happen. I get up out of my bed take a shower, brush my teeth, wash my face put on my outfit and pack my purse I head out my one bedroom apartment as lock up lord knows what could happen shit people are so desperate in these times they'll steal the damn paint off the wall if they could heading for the subway to take me into the city I feel the crisp early morning air hit my skin in the early hours of New York. I get there and it's about 5 o clock now. "I wish this damn subway would hurry up." I say to myself while trying to keep warm in this weather here comes the subway as I get on a man bumps into me the speed of the subway starting made it now better I practically flew "Hey! you could learn to watch out." I say with a stern tone not even seeing who it is "Babydoll you could learn to watch your tone you didn't even give me the chance to say excuse me damn!" I turn around and see this brownskin brother with thick eyebrows, full big lips he had a hood on with another jacket not gone lie he was cute but first impression wasn't it.

"Whatever." I scoff Sadly there weren't any seats left for us to sit down so we ended up having to sit next to each other. We made one more stop as we were going an elderly woman looked at us then said "You two are a beautiful couple" she said with a smile. I quickly shot that down. "Oh no we're not a couple" I said with a smile He looked at me "Oh I'm ugly or something shorty"he said "First of all my names Mariah second I don't know you" I said "You didn't say I was ugly though and Mariah I like that you look like a Mariah" "What the hell does A Mariah look like?" I kind of smiled "Oh so she smiles now but you know i don't know pretty I guess" he said looking at the subway doors licking his lips. "Hmm" "What that mean" "Nothing... so what's your name since you have so many questions" "Pac" he said "Pac?" I said raising my eyebrow "Yea what's wrong with that?" He said looking at me with mean mug "Nothing nothing nothing just your mother named you pac?" "Look damn you got a lot of questions yourself but come here" He motioned his finger for me to whisper in my ear so I came close. "Lesane" I started to giggle a little "Oh that's funny huh?" "Just a little" I said covering my smile "You got a pretty smile but that was originally my government name my name is actually Tupac" "Tupac I like that" I said smiling "I see" he said looking me up and down We were on for about an hour •••••••6:00a.m.••••••••• I finally got to the city which was his stop as well as I was about to walk the opposite way of him he said "Aye Mariah can I give you a call" he said looking me in the eye "Sure" I gave him my number and we walked off I walked to my job at the diner and began work. ............................................................................ 4:00p.m. I've been on my feet since 7:00 a.m this morning I'm tired, my bun is damn near coming out and my boss is being the worse asshole possible. "MARIAH!" My manager called me into his office "Ugh fuck" I though I whispered "Hey kid I understand it's tough hang in there and stop cursing your too beautiful for that potty mouth" my friend Diana said I giggled then headed into my managers office. "Mariah first off I'm giving you the rest of the day off" "Did I do something" I raised my eyebrow "No but I'm giving everyone the rest of the day off after you all finish up the little bit of customers clean up and your all free for the day I have some business to handle some personal affairs" he looked down shaking his head like it was serious. "Um ok thanks?" "Yea whatever now get outta here" he waved me off. I looked confused but I walked out still wondering why the first time in two years he's letting the whole staff off I shrugged it off and went and told everyone including the customers after the last customer we cleaned then locked up I grabbed my purse walking out. I let my hair down looking around I looked at my watch "1:15" I thought to myself what to do soon enough I think I should send this tape off to Sony I stop by the post office and send off my demo tape I decided to go home and then maybe walk around times square. Heading back to the subway I head back to my apartment I change in jeans and a black off the shoulder long sleeved shirt.

I put on some lipstick fluff my curls while in the middle my phone rings I run thinking it might be Tupac. "Hello? Pac?" "Hey Mariah this is James" Ugh my ex he cheated on me countless time and tries to come back with cheap makeup sentiments and apologies "What the hell do you want?" I sighed rolling my eyes "Now is that anyway to talk to your first love" Did I mention he likes to pretend he's "hard" "Please nigga are you going to explain to me what you called my phone for?" "Oooo attitude always loved that shit but I wanted to see if you wanted to go out tonight" "I would love to" "Oh really now" he said sounding shocked "Just not with you byeeee smootches" I hung up to finish primping over that course can you believe this nigga kept calling me!! Well I had enough I picked up the phone and told him off "Listen you hear you lying, cheating , bum ass negro if you don't stop calling my phone I'm gone get some guys to come over there and fuck you up!" "Damn this how you answer the phone" My eyes widen when I noticed it was pac on the phone "Omg I'm sorry I thought you were someone else" "Damn i kind of like attitude gives me more of a reason to want to..." he paused "Tooooo what?" I said "Fix it" he said in a seductive tone "Ohhh now so what did you call me about" I said biting my lip twirling the phone line in my hand " well I want to know what you doing tonight?" "Just about to head out to time square" "Let's meet around 7:00 p.m. how about it?" "Sure" I smiled "See you then babydoll" I smiled hanging up I looked at my watch 6:00 might as well go now I threw on some black ankle boots after I grabbed threw on my jacket threw some cash in my pocket and headed out I locked and headed to the subway station once I got there and we headed to NYC once I got off the subway I headed up the stairs I thought to myself Damn I didn't even ask where he wanted to meet this is a worthless trip but this was my initial spot but after I hear faint yelling coming from the ally I questioned if I wanted to take that risk or not I decided to I ran down the ally and saw the older woman from earlier getting mugged "Give me the money you old bitch!" "HEY! GET THE FUCK OFF OF HER" I yelled. "Mind your business bitch" he spat He had on a hoodie so I grabbed him by it pulling him back choking him. "GO!" I yelled to the elderly woman she grabbed her bag running off and I let go of the random man thinking I was about to run off when soon after the man grabbed my hair pulling me back slamming me into the metal fence he grabbed my face I still couldn't see him he said "Damn you a pretty little baby I know I could make some money off of you but I just might have to some of you myself" I wanted to start screaming help but he said "You scream and I'll kill you bitch" I thought to myself is this the night I'm about to get raped I started to pray in my head when he started kissing my neck I started to feel tears roll down my face I started to pray out loud "Our father who are in heaven-" "God can't help you now" He started to take my jacket off but he stopped and said. "This place is to visible let's go somewhere else" He put what felt like a gun to my back. We walked out of the ally and were on the streets I tried to get a look at his face but he held his head down we walked further down until we walked up to what looked like an abandon apartment he took us inside I started feeling tears rolling down my face again. Once we got in there was a trashy mattress and food all over the floor I wouldn't be surprised to see rats he told me "get comfortable" I had to find a way out he walked out the room and I looked around -no phone , and I didn't see any windows he came back with a needle filled with some sort of green stuff he grabbed arm rolling my sleeve he jabbed the needle in me and I felt the effects soon after he got on top of me and started to kiss me he began trying unbutton my pants lifting my shirt out of it he was about to pull them off until- there was a knock at the door he headed out into another room I had to get out stumble getting up grabbing onto things after I found a door I opened it seeing the bathroom I looked and saw a tiny window I could fit but I would have to hurry I closed and locked the door lifting the window I put both my legs out first then I slid out it was okay thank go in New York almost every apartment has escape stairs I hurried and closed the window I heard a faint "WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU!" I seen the bathroom door being shaken from the outside I ran down the steps as quickly as I could not looking back I stumbled onto the New York streets again I had to find someone I tried to acknowledge people but they probably thought I was some junkie I kept trying to get peoples attention when I felt as though I was about to faint someone grabbed my arm I think to myself oh my god who is this? ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Chapter 1 done comment and tell me how you like it.
