"I'm glad you came in," the detective said before Melanie nodded.

"When was the last time you saw the Perada family?" She asked.

"Uh... I was with Kaden... we went to see a movie," Melanie replied trying to hold back from crying.

"Were you having relations with Kaden Perada?" She asked.

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"Just asking questions Melanie," she replied.

Melanie looked at her dad before nodding.

"Did Kaden give any sign that something was wrong?"

"Uh... no, no he didn't," Melanie replied.

"Are you sure?"

"Positive."

1 year and some change ago...

"So what you want me to do?" Kaden asked.

"Oh my God! Just throw the fuckin balls at me! It's not a hard concept Kaden," I said.

He was supposed to be helping me practice but he was acting like a fuckin retard.

"Okay chill! I just needed to clarify," he said before he started throwing them.

"Stop throwing them like that! They aren't darts!"

"How am I supposed to throw them?!"

"Shoot them at me. Imagine I'm a basketball hoop," I said.

"Ouuu that's a good idea. So I shoot it to you and you hit it back to me. I catch it and then shoot it again," he said.

"Sure Kaden," I said before we started.

We did that for a while before we went running. When we got back I was tired as hell. We went into the house to get some water when I got a FaceTime call from Melanie.

"Hey," I answered.

"Bitch! Alana bout to beat this bitch ass!" She yelled and I could tell she was coming from her side of the neighborhood to the front.

"Why?!"

"Bitch got on live talkin shit and talkin bout pull up so we doin just that. Look at this hoe," she said before showing me Alana.

She was dressed in a tracksuit from PINK and had on my black Huaraches.

"I was lookin for them!" I said.

"Lookin for what?" Both Kaden and Melanie said at the same time.

"My shoes! After this she can have them bitches I don't even care," I said.

"Girl you know she was gon have em either way," Melanie said as she walked up the hill.

Me and Kaden watched as Melanie put Alana's phone on record. Adrian's cousin came out of the house with a wig on which made zero since.

"Let me set these down just in case," Melanie said before setting down the phones so that we could still see.

"Bitch the fuck is you talkin shit for?!" Alana said.

"Because your sister got beef with cousin and at the end of the day imma stand by my cousin-"

"Okay one I ain't got shit to do with that, and two there is no beef! My sister beat yo cousins ass and went on about her business. If you feel guilty because you let your cousin get beat the fuck up then take that on by yourself but don't bring that shit over hea," Alana said.

"Okay," she shrugged looking at Alana.

"Okay so we gon fight or what?" Alana asked as she pulled her hoodie over her head and tying it.

Adrian came out of the house as her cousin and Alana were inching closer to each other.

"The fuck is y'all waitin for? Swing!" Kaden said.

Alana swung on her before her and the girl were both equally getting hits in. The girl grabbed Alana's hoodie before dragging her to the ground. Alana pulled her down with her before they rolled over and Alana got on top. Adrian tried to jump in so Melanie pulled her off.

Melanie started beating on Adrian while Alana continued to punch her cousin. Adrian's mom came outside before breaking up the fight between Alana and Adrian's cousin. Melanie payed no mind to Adrian's mom as she drug her to the ground and started dragging her as she punched her.

"Stop!" Adrian's mom said as she broke up the fight between Melanie and Adrian.

"This what we doin now?! Alana I know your mother what would she say if she heard you all the way over here fightin?! Get y'all life! Matter a fact get off my property! Now!" She yelled as Melanie walked back over to the phones trying not to laugh.

"And get y'all asses in the house!" She yelled at Adrian and her cousin.

Melanie started laughing as they started walking away from Adrian's house.

"That bitch was fuckin strong. Big ass bitch," Alana said causing Melanie to laugh louder.

"I'm serious. They still on the phone?" Alana asked.

"Yeah," Melanie replied before handing Alana her phone.

"Bitch. You saw that shit," Alana said.

"Yes bruh, how you let her take you to the ground like that?" I said.

"Bitch you know I'm rusty and that bitch big, hell fuckin no. That shit was ridiculous," she said.

We talked a little bit before I had to go take my shower. I was tired of being suspended. There was nothing to do until everybody got home from school, shit was bogus.
