Chapter 8
|Keith "Kush" Daniels|
It was something on my mind that I couldn't remember. Whatever it was it was naggin' the hell outta me. I was sitting back in my chair trying to figure out what it was when Alyana walked in. I'm not gone lie my heart beat sped up. I smiled at her.
"Wassup Alyana?"
"Nothing just came to make sure you good." She said with an attitude. Everybody been having a little attitude since Shantel been here. I watched her take the seat in front of me. My eyes roamed her body. Today she had on some sweat pants, a long sleeve turtle neck. Hold up is it snowing out or some shit. I notice she always wearing clothes like that. It's like she's hiding something from me and I want to know what it is.
"Anything you want to tell me." I asked more like started.
"What do you mean?" She asked nervously.
"Why so nervous Alyana?" I asked.
"I'm I'm not n-nervous." She stuttered. I hate for people to lie to me.
"I find that hard to believe." I said. I wonder if she gone tell me what she hiding? Or am I going to have to follow her every move?
"No there's nothing." She was looking everywhere, but at me. I leaned back in my chair.
"I came over your house the other day I heard some things." I said. I watched her face pale.
"O-Oh wh-what d-did y-you h-hear?"
"I don't know you tell me." I said. If she take the bait and tell me I'll be good, but if she lie to me I don't know.
"Nothing was going on my uncle and I were watching movies all day that's about it." She said. Yet she can't look me in the eye. So I know she lying. Bad part about it she lying right in my face.
"Is that all?" I asked.
"Ye-Yeah." She said. I just simply nodded.
"I'm taking you home tonight." I said.
"NO! I mean no its okay you don't have to waste gas on taking me home." She looked scared, nervous, and full of fear.
"No I insist." I said. She just nodded walking out the room.
|Alyana Owens|
Oh my god! What if he heard? He trying to take me home I can't let that happen. Why didn't I just tell him the truth? I hate the fact that I lied to him. One thing Keith hate is liars and I just became one. I walked out his office going into the bathroom. I just broke down.
He'll never love anyone like me. I'm damaged goods. I'm broken. No one will ever want me.
I swear I wanted to tell him. I did, but I just couldn't. I couldn't even look him in the eyes.
I pull my blade from my back pocket. I just need to feel numb right now.
Sometimes promises are made to be broken.

I called Rony, Lonnie, Cosmo, and Alyana in the room. I'm sick of their childish ass shit when it comes to Shantel.
"I don't like the way y'all treating Shantel." They kissed their teeth.
"Next person that cop an attitude or any disrespectful ass shit gone catch a bullet and a body tag." I said. I'm getting mad now.
"Shantel is going to be around and the way y'all treating her is foul asf. She didn't do anything to any of you. Y'all just of the bat threw shade for what reason I don't know, but that shit end today." I said. No one said anything so I took that as my que to continue.
"Shantel is my cousin and-"
"What?!" They yelled in unison. We looked at them.
"S-She's your cousin?" Alyana asked.
"Yeah if y'all would've let me explain the situation instead of being little ass kids about something then you would've known. Who did you think she was?"
"Your girlfriend."
"And if she was my girlfriend that wouldn't have shit to do with y'all because y'all wouldn't be the ones dating her. If she was my girlfriend and y'all continued to disrespect her friend or not you would be dead." I said honestly. Don't nobody have time to play these games. I watched all their faces.
"I'm sorry Shantel." Cosmo said. Shantel just shrugged. They all apologized to her. After that was cleared up they went back to work.
"I swear your crew judge people before they know em. You need to keep they ass in check Keith." I nodded. She walked out the room.

It was finally time for me to take Alyana home. I walked out my office in search for Alyana. I looked for her for twenty minutes.
"Aye anybody seen Yana?"
"She left about an hour ago boss." Twan said. What the actual fuck?
"Alright." I said walking out the door. I pulled my phone out to call her, but she didn't answer. I sighed why do she gotta play these run and chase games?
I went to her house and the lights were off. I knocked on the door and all. Still didn't get an answer. After twenty minutes I left.
I shook my head. You can't help everybody especially those who don't wanna be helped.
