Amerie

What does he mean that I'm safer here then I am out there? And why have I become a target? I didn't ask to be in this situation... I could be home shooting videos doing what I do best instead I'm stuck here.

Kairi walks over to me and extends her hand to me. "Don't worry about my brother. The shit that just happened changes everything."

I take her hand and she helps lift me up. "What do you mean?"

"I can't tell you, just know Jay isn't wrong. You're safer with us right now. If he let you go you'll find yourself in a worse predicament then what you are now. Just trust us, okay?"

"How can I trust anything when nobody is telling me shit? If my life is the one at stake was everyone tight lipped and tip toeing around me like I'm a child? I wouldn't be in this predicament had your fuck ass brother left me alone and let me out the car when I asked."

"Look Amerie be lucky you're not dead." Kairi says.

"No, but I might as well be." I say and brush past her and head to my room slamming the door behind me. I sit on my bed and I can feel the tears forming in my eyes but I refused to cry, I refused to look like a bitch. I take a pillow and throw it across the room with all the strength in my body. The pillow flies across the room hitting a picture on the wall causing it to hit the floor. The glass from the frame shatters into pieces on impact.

Anger filled my body and I began to see nothing but red. I snatch the lamp from the nightstand ripping it out of the socket and throw it across the room. The lamp shatters on the ground leaving thick and thin cuts of glass on the spread across the room. As I pick up the nightstand the door flies open hitting the wall behind it and Jay comes running in.

"What the fu-" before he could finish I send the nightstand flying in his direction. He dodges it and it hits the wall with a loud BANG! As I reach to grab another object Jay grabs me by my wrist. "What the fuck is wrong with you?" He yells.

I fight to free myself from his grasp. "Get. Off. Of. Me. Now!" I raise my leg in attempt to kick him but he grabs my leg freeing one of my wrist. I was heated, I wanted to take this mans life before he took mine. It's his fault I'm in this mess. I fucking hate this nigga with the hot intensity of a thousand suns. I'd rather him kill me now then be stuck here in hell any longer.

With one hand free I start swinging on him, it wasn't until I hit him in his face that he really snapped. He let go of my wrist and my leg and with quickness he pinned me against the wall and one hand went around my neck and the other reached for his gun. He placed the barrel of the gun to my neck. Kairi run into the room eyes wide.

Kairi

I ran into the room and see broken glass everywhere. In the corner stood Jay and Amerie. Jay had Amerie against the wall with his gun drawn on her and his hand around her throat.

"Jay, wait a minute. Think rationally... you can't kill her." I say walking slowly over to them.

"N-no go ahead, kill me." Amerie says breathlessly. Jay presses the gun deeper into her neck.

"Amerie are you crazy?"

"No if anything she's dumb." Jay says. His voice was deep and cold.

"Jay j-"
