(10:00 a.m.)
I head to shower leaving Elijah sleeping. I strip my clothes and get in letting all of the hot water hit my back. After I finished my shower I get out and then dry off sliding on my undergarments then my floral printed pants then my strappy top. I brush my hair out then I take two sections and braid them then wrap them around my head bobby pinning it down. I slide on my sandals then my hoops and watch.
I walk out of the bathroom seeing elijah still sleeping. I got to talk to his mom yesterday, she's pretty cool, I'm not as shy around her, she's cracking my shell very fast. I walk out of the room and down the steps seeing Margaret sweeping. I smile and then she looks up and puts her hands on her hips. "Well arn't you just a doll" She says sweetly making me smile. "So whats happening today?" I ask and she points to the kitchen. "Were going to be baking some goods, Brownies, Cake, Cookies for my bakery" She says excitedly, Shiiiit I am too.
I follow her to the kitchen as she starts to pull out two big bowls and other things. She hands me some brownie mix and I open it pouring the mix in the bowl. "You know you make Elijah very Happy I see it, He's never brought a girl to the house and for the first girl you are more than what I expected" She smiles then continues "He loves you and I know by the look in his eyes, And I like you so if he ever loses you I will personally whoop him with my chancla" She says making me laugh as I mix the ingredients.
"I remember when Elijah was little, we would bake so many things that we'd have to give them to the kids on the streets. We would have brownies and cookies stacked very high" She explains making me smile. "Speak of the devil" She says and I look and see Elijah now dressed "I need you to go pick up some milk and butter Lijy" She says pulling out money. "Its okay I got it" He says "Take one of the boys with you, I'm serious" She points and he smiles yelling for Jamal. Their car is heard leaving the driveway, Christopher stayed with Kristen last night and he's supposed to be back to leave by tonight.
Knocking on the front door distracts me from Margaret who was talking about elijah. "Ill get it" I say getting up and hurrying to the door, I open it and nobody was there, I look down and see a dead fish. My heart drops to my feet, I don't know everything about the mafia and all BUT THIS IS NOT GOOD. "Oh shit" Margaret panics making me panic, I pull out my phone calling Christopher because Elijah's busy and probably wont answer. I shake and then feet pounding is heard, I catch a glimpse of the man and I grab Margarets hand pulling her with me.
"STOP" He roars and then Margaret stops making me stop and my heart drops to my feet, WHY. "Juan" Margaret whispers in shock and I think I heard sadness. WAIT. Is this Elijah's dad. "Your time is up Maggy" He smirks and I honestly don't know whats happening but I NEED HELP. He aims his shotgun at her and she lets out a sob "y-y-you said-d-d I W-w-would have 16 years Not 10" She chokes out making my heart hurt. "Well I changed my mind now before he gets here" He shoots twice once in the chest then once in the stomach "AHHHHHH NO" I yell as she falls in my arms and I collapse with her as he hurries out.
