Joanna POV:

*One month later*


I woke up feeling sick to my stomach. I think I got a stomach virus from the sushi I had last night. I been throwing up all morning and I'm starting to be concerned. I know I'm not pregnant because I'm on birth control. I really hate hospitals and I try to avoid them at all cost. I decided to give Michelle a call before I go to the store to pick up some Pepto Bismol. Q said he took a flight to visit his mom for a week so I've just been in the house all alone.

Ring. Ring. Ring

"Hello?" Michelle answered.

"Hey girl! Stranger danger much?"

"I know you not talking! Girl I miss you, how are you?" Michelle said eagerly.

"Girl I feel like shit! I've been throwing up all morning and I'm by myself."

"Throwing up??? Uh oh! Are you pregnant???"

"NO! Well..... I don't think so.. I'm on birth control, 'aint no way I should be pregnant." I said worried.

"Girl did you tell Q your symptoms?" Michelle asked anxiously.

"Girl no.. Q barely be home and now he's in Pennsylvania with his mom for a week. But before he left he would say the reason he be out so much is because of this new deal he got which has him doing so much. He's always telling me "It's all going to be worth it soon". If I would have known that this "new deal" he got will have him barely home I wouldn't have been down with it from the jump!" I said annoyed.

"Aww pookie, I wish I could be there babes. Just don't over think anything because I know how you can get!"

"Urgh.. idk, I try to be positive about the situation but I don't feel like he be telling me everything.. but thank you anyways" I said sadly.

"Just keep your head up sugar. I know I'm all the way in Atlanta and your way over there in New York but I will always be your best friend and I will always find a way to be helpful for you." Michelle said trying to comfort me.

"I know love.. Thank you.. but I'll talk to you later I'm about to get dressed.

I hung up the phone and began to start my day. I went to the bathroom to take a shower. I turned the knob to my shower to hot. I turned around to let the water burn my back and just closed my eyes and began to think about everything Q and I has been through. Q is my first love and I know him inside and out. We moved in together a week after our anniversary and everything was smooth and fun but I started to realize Q began to be more distant and coming home late. I'm trying my hardest to not assume he's cheating on me, but he keeps giving me mixed signals and telling me it's his new deal and not to worry. I always dreamed of having a family with Q, but if I am pregnant and Q keeps dipping out on me like this I don't know what I'm going to do. After 5 minutes of me thinking and crying I began washing my body and 5 min later I was out. I walked to my closet and pulled out a cute little yellow bralette and some grey shorts. I didn't plan on going anywhere but staying in the house and watching sad movies.

*Ding Dong Ding Dong. Ding Dong Ding.*

I ran downstairs and open the door

"COME HERE BITCH!"

The two strangers grabbed me and tied me up. They threw a black bag over my head and threw me in a vehicle. Last thing I felt was someone hitting me in the head and I blacked out through the whole ride.

Q POV:

The trap house is like my second home now, I hate it but that's the way it became. Ever since Chapo P gave me this new position to be her right hand man she been having me do some crazy plays. I hate lying to Joanna about my whereabouts. I got her thinking I'm with my mom whole time I'm threating people's family and holding children hostage from their parents. I'm risking my life and my career while being out here , but it's hard for me to get out of something I've been knowing my whole life; plus the money A1! I been trying to ease out the gang here and there but Chapo P wasn't having it. She would threaten to kill my girl or even worse.... my family! I hate leaving Joanna and coming home all late but it's all going to be worth it soon, I swear!
