Part 1
Bryan And I Have Been Together 3 Years And BELIEVE ME IT WASN'T EASY. When I First Met Him I Was A Quiet Girl I Went To School And Did Everything I Was Suppose To. He Was The Total Opposite Of Me A Street Thug And Hustle. I Was Warned To Stay Away From Him But I Had A Feeling He Wasn't Gonna Stay Away From Me.
Being That I Was 17 And In My Last Year Of High School I Stayed With My Parents. Everyday When I Got Off The Train To Walk Home I Would See Bryan Him And His Homeboys Would Be Posted Up On The Corner He Would Always Stop In Mid Conversation And Say " Hey Miss Pretty Brown Thing " Normally I Would Ignore Him But One Day I Finally Spoke Back And We Haven't Stopped Talking Since.
Now That I Am 20 I Have Moved Out Of My Parents House And Moved In With Bryan. He Was A Little Older Than Me But I Didn't Mind He Never Made Me Do Anything I Wasn't Ready For And He Kept His Street Life Away From Home. Until One Day I Get A Text From A Unknown Number It Says " You Don't Know Me But If We Don't Find Your Man You And Your Baby Girl Will Be Next "
I Was Petrified I Didn't Know What Bryan Was Doing In The Streets I Just Knew He Came Home Every Night And We Never Had Any Money Problems. I Paced Back And Forth Until I Damn Near Made Myself Dizzy. Bryan Came Home About 11:30 And Saw That I Was A Mess My Eyes Bloodshot From Crying Face Swollen And All. "Lex I'm Home ... " He Said But I Didn't Respond " Alexis ..... You Okay ? " I Threw The Phone Across The Bed With The Open Text. " WHAT THE FUCK ? Who Sent This To You ? " He Was Fuming With Anger.
" I Don't Know But Whatever You've Been Doing Is Now Backfiring On Me And Kaylee And Got To Fix This " He Was Walking Back And Forth Then Punches A Whole In The Wall. Then A Mysterious Calmness Fell Upon Him. He Walked Out In To The Living Room And Turned The TV On It Was Loud I Could Tell He Was Still Thinking About It. I Got Outta Bed Cleaned My Face And Joined Him In The Living Room. I Sat At The Other End Of The Couch With My Phone Just In Silence. " Alexis .... Who Have You Been Speaking To ? " He Said As He Peaked Over In To My Phone.
" Excuse Me ? " I Said In A Puzzled Voice. " Alexis McCall Who Have You Been Speaking With ? " He Said In A Stern Voice. " I Can't Believe You Are Asking Me Who I've Been Talking To When The Question Should Be Who Did You Cross Bryan ? " I Said Now With Tears In My Eyes. " My Daughter's Safety Is As Risk And You Pressed About Me ! " I Said Wiping My Face. " How Would They Have Gotten Your Number Lex ? You Must Have Been Out Here Doing Something " I Was In Total Disbelief Of Whats Was Happening. Here I Was In Shambles Because Me And My Daughter Could Be Killed But He Thought I Was Out Here Doing Something. " Well Now I Gotta Clean This Up ... " He Said Before He Got Up And Turned The TV Off.
The Next Day I Packed A Small Bag For Kaylee And I Then I Went To My Mother's Place She Was Always Happy To See Her Grandbaby. My Father Had Passed 3 Months After Kaylee Was Born So My Mom Could Always Use The Company. I Left A Note That I Wouldn't Be Back For A Few Days But Kaylee And I Were Safe. All I Could Think About Was The Worst. I Didn't Know Where Bryan Was And If He Was Safe But One Thing I Did Know Is That I Would Stop At Nothing To Protect My Daughter Even If That Meant Giving My Own Life.
After A Long Day Of Girl Time With My Mom And Kaylee I Finally Was Ready To Go To Bed. I Took My Shower And Was About To Get Dressed When My Phone Rang. I Answered " Yeo Yeo .... " But I Heard Nothing Back " Yeo Who's This ? " Still I Heard Nothing Then I Heard 3 Gun Shots And I Dropped The Phone My Mind Thought The Worst Was Bryan Dead. Did They Just Kill Him With Me On The Phone ?
Part 2
I Was Crying My Eyes Out Blowing Up Bryan's Phone All Could Think About Is Him Being Dead. Kaylee Not Having A Father Would Break My Heart. This Man Was All I Knew And Now We Could Be Dead Over Some Street Shit. I Kept Calling But I Kept Hearing " Yeo Yeo This B Leave A Message " I Quickly Put On Some Clothes And Went Out The Door. I Didn't Even Explain To My Mom Where I Was Going And Why. I Knew If She Really Knew What Type Of Person Bryan Was She Wouldn't Be Pleased.
I Tried Calling The Number Back And It Was A Text App Number. Who Could This Be And Why ? I'm Running Down The Block To The Corner To Flag A Cab And Head Over To Our Apartment. The Whole Ride There I Was Trying To Get In Contact With Anybody I Knew Bryan Was Close To. I Finally Got Somebody On The Phone It Was His Cousin Tyler. " Yeo Ty I Think Somebody Killed Bryan I Cant Seem To Get A Hold Of Him And Somebody Called Me But Never Spoke " I Started Crying Even Hard " Then I Heard 3 Shots " The Cab Pulled Up To The Building I Threw Money At The Driver And Ran Inside. I Didn't Even Bother Waiting For The Elevator I Ran Up 4 Flights Of Steps. I'm Banging On The Door But Nobody's Answering. " Ty He Ain't Here Nobody Answering The Door" I Was In A Blur.
" Damn Shawty I Ain't Seen Him All Day I Ain't Even Talk To Him Since The Other Day. " His Voice Sounded So Distant And Uninterested. " I'll Call You Back " I Didnt Even Give Him A Chance To Respond I Hung Up. I Let Myself In To The Apartment And Looked Around It Seems Like He Had Been There Recently There Was Dishes In The Sink And The Living Room Was Messy. As I Was Looking Around My Phone Rang It Was Bryan Finally. " Bitch You Tried To Have Me Killed " I Was In Disbelief. Did He Really Think I Did This ? Did He Not See That Kaylee And I Was Threaten Too ? " Bryan I Didn't Do This To You , I Don't Know Who Did This I Tried Calling The Number Is A Fake App Number Please Just Come Home So We Can Talk "
" No I Ain't Going Nowhere Near You I Know You Did This And Imma Make Sure I Get The Proof If Not Imma Die Trying " He Hung Up Before I Could Say Anything. I Had To Prove I Wasn't The One Behind This. I Called My Homegirl Sammie She Was Like Ghetto FBI She Could Find Anything. " Sammie Some Number Keeps Texting And Callin Saying Shit About Bryan I'm Losing My Mind And I Could Lose My Family. " I Was Not Gonna Lose Him. " Lex It Is 2 Am Where Are You ? " She Said. " Im Home Girl I Need You " I Said Trying Not To Cry Again. " I'm Coming Don't Worry " She Was At My House In 15 Minutes. She Came Ready To Go With Her Laptop And All. Somehow 30 Minutes Later She Found The IP Address To Phone And Tracked It.
They Was Right Under My Nose The Whole Time. They Was Only In Harlem. I Couldn't Even Process This All. I Told Sammie She Could Crash Here With Me And I Would Fix This In A Few Hours.
Woke Up To My Phone Being Blown Up. I Check And See It's My Mom So I Answer " Morning SugarPie You Forgot To Tell Me That You Left Me With Kaylee Got Me Thinking You Went Missing In The Flash Of The Night. " She Said In A Sarcastic Tone. " Sorry Ma I Had An Emergency I Thought I Was Gonna Be Right Back But I Fell Asleep. Can You Do Me A Favor And Watch Her For A Few I Gotta Finish Handling Something. " I Hated Be So Secretive With My Ma But I Couldn't Tell Her. I Finished Talking To Her And Woke Sammie Up " Come On Bitch We Gotta Go " She Turned On The Tracking App And Saw Where The Phone Was. 116th And Lenox We Was Going To Make Business Moves And End This Because I Wasnt Gonna Lose My Family Not If I Could Help It Anyway.
