Chapter 10
|Logan "Lonnie" Waters|
I ran until I couldn't run no more. My best friend had been hiding this from all of us. She knows what I went thru when I lost my sister. Hell she was the one encouraging me to be strong. I don't know what to do anymore. I look up to see I'm in front of the graveyard. I slowly make my way to my sister's grave. It's been over three years since she's been gone. I miss her everyday. She always brighten my day even if she got in my nervous.
"Sissy I miss you so much. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about you. You knew how to make me smile even when I was mean to you. We all miss you so much. Mom is slowly coming back around. Diggy is too. You were more like his daughter then you were his sister. I remember that day Diggy beat both of our asses for smoking weed. Our ass was sore for a week. He even grounded us like daddy used to do. Even though we still snuck out sometimes without him knowing. Sissy I know you looking down at us right now. I love you and continue being our blessing in disguise." I wiped my tears. I kissed her tombstone before I walked away.
My friend needs me right now. I need to be there for her no matter what.

I finally made it back to the trap. It was dark, but the trap house windows are tinted.
"Cosmo where Lonnie?" I asked.
"She in the back. You okay?" She asked. I nodded.
"Yeah I just needed some air." I said.
"Okay. Love you."
"Love you too." I made my way into the back. Aly was sitting in the couch with her head in her hands. She looked up at me with red puffy eyes. She rushed into my arms. Hugging me tight.
"I-I'm sorry Lonnie. Please don't leave me. I can't be alone I I need you and and everyone else." She cried on my shoulder. I rubbed her back soothingly until she calmed down.
"Aly I'll never leave you. I was just upset that you felt as if you couldn't talk to any of us. We would've been there for you. You could've stayed with one of us."
"I'm sorry I disappointed you." I smiled.
"It's okay Aly. We know now. We're going to be by your side to the end."
"Not Keith." She said.
"Yes he will."
"No he's not."
"Trust me he will."
"No! Did you see the way he looked at me. He looked like he hated me. I hurt him! We were doing good but I had to mess it up. Keith hates me." I hugged her.
"Kush doesn't hate you he's just upset that you didn't tell him. Kush loves you. Trust me just give him some time. He'll come around."
"Okay." She sighed. I know Kush had always liked Alyana. I know he's not giving up on her.

1 week later....
|Keith "Kush" Daniels|
I'm finally coming around to what had happened. It just hurt to know that the girl I'm in love with was raped and abused. I just hope she not protecting this nigga because I got something for his ass.
I walked into the trap going straight to my office. Nobody was here yet so I had some time to be by myself. I just started going over the books to make sure my money was right.
Alyana walked in she did look a little better then when I last saw her. But I don't think she noticed me.
"Alyana!" I yelled. She jumped turning around to look at me.
"I'm sorry I didn't know anybody else was here." She said lowly.
"Look at me when you talk to me." I said. She hesitantly put her head up.
"How you been?" I asked.
"G-Good." She said.
"Sit." I said.
"Talk to me. I don't want no lies and no bullshit ass excuses." I said.
"I lied to you because I didn't want to be judged. I hid my pain because I felt like no one was there for me, but I knew you guys would be I just didn't say anything. I should've just listened to what my mom said. She was right I was going to learn the hard way because I'm stubborn. And look where it got me." She said.
"Alyana we all make mistakes, but what your uncle did was foul, nasty, and just disgusting. I don't like to be lied to Alyana and you lied to me in front of my face. I'm not blaming you, but you could've asked for help. I can't help you if you don't want help. All you have to do is tell me if you want help and I'll help. If I help you and you go back I just don't know." I said honestly. My mama always told me you can't help those who don't wanna be helped no matter how hard you tried.
"The question is do you want help Alyana?" I asked slowly. She looked hesitate like she had to think about it. Ain't shit to think about. If a nigga raping and abusing you. GET FUCKING HELP! Don't sit there and just let the shit happen. It's so much help for people in abusive homes, but not everyone take it. They die fighting instead. But that's not gone cut it with me.
"Yes." She said. I nodded.
"Then I'll help you." I said.
|Alyana Owens|
I feel good with my decision, somewhat. But I don't want to him to hurt my uncle. I know what he did wasn't right, but I know Keith once he start he won't stop.
"Tonight when you get home I want you to pack everything you own because you're leaving." He said. I nodded.
"Where am I going?"
"Let me worry about that." Was all he said.
