I wake up laying flipped over on my side still tied to the chair. The blindfold still tied tight around my eyes. I make a few test movements to see if the room I'm in is empty. When I feel it's safe I try to shift my body but the heavy steel chair I'm tied to doesn't help me any. I ear foot steps and lay completely still.

"Man get this nigga up," I hear Anthony laugh. A few seconds later I feel myself being moved back upright and the blindfold being yanked off. I wince at the lights before looking down until my eyes adjust. The concrete is smeared with blood. Anthony smiles up in my face before looking back down at his phone.

"Aye this nigga ain't eat in a week. The shit sad bro. Send one of them bitches down with some food for his ass," Anthony says texting away on his phone.

"I might be a killa but I ain't that mean," he says without looking up.
About five minutes go by and a cute white girl struts in with a plate of food and a cup in her hands. She looks at me and frowns a little but tries not to show it.
Next thing you know I hear gunfire and the walkie talky on his hip starts going off.

Aye yo! We got niggas at the gate shooting get up here now!

"Shit! Y'all two come with me. And you watch him," he says to one of the niggas before running out of the room. A second later we hear a loud boom. The girl jumps.
"Feed his ass," the nigga says to her before lighting a square. She walks over to me with the plate.

"Sorry all we have is left over Chinese," she gestures to the plate with two egg rolls and some shrimp fried rice. I just nod my head because food is food. She starts feeding me the food.
Another boom goes off followed by yelling.

Nigga get up here! We need all the firepower we got. These niggas got bombs!

The nigga drops his square rushing out of the room. I blink and my left eye gets blurry.
" I..I think it's something in my eye," I wince blinking rapidly.

"It's blood," she wipes the blood trickling down my forehead with a napkin. She's a decent white girl with short black hair. She doesn't look like the hoe type, she look like she should have a office job or something. I bite into egg roll as she holds it to my lips.

" What's your name," I say through bites.
"Amber," she says jumping as gunshots continue.

"You Don't look like the type to be doing this kind of business," I say sipping the punch from the cup when she tilts it on my lips.
"I'm saving for college," she says giving a shaky smile.

"Well it seems like neither of us belongs here. So how about you help me out and we can't both get out of here. I can help you get the money for college," I say after finishing off the food and punch.
"I'm sorry. I can't they would kill me. I so sorry," amber says again before rushing out of the room.

I've called Dewayne five times. This nigga told me to call him in a few hours its been 3. What the hell is going on! I take a deep breath in and try to calm my nerves. Maybe he's busy... ima call one last time.

📲📲📲📲

It rings and rings then it finally picks up.
"Dewayne why the hell it take you so long to answer the phone," I say. Nothing. I heard also of movement and mumbling. I think I'm in his pocket. I hear gunfire in the back ground.

"Baby! What's going on," I shout pacing back and forth. Nothing. I hear gunshots before I hear Rico yelling for Dewayne asking him if he's okay. I start crying, my baby.
What if Anthony found them. I hear screaming, terrible screams.
"Dewayne," I scream crying harder. There's more shooting and people shouting but I can't tell who. After awhile the line goes dead.

I call Aisha and she picks up on the first ring.
"Bitch come over here now! I think Dewayne been shot," I cry into the phone.

"Bitch what! I'm down the street at the market. I'm on my way," she says hanging up. I pace back and forth and try to call him again but it goes directly to voicemail.

Why did I have to fall for him? Why do I care about him so much? He's doing all this for me and my family. I pace back and forth phone in my head calling him again now on speaker phone.

You have reached the voicemail box. Please leave a message after the tone.

I throw my phone on the bed walking into the living room. I go to the kitchen pouring myself a glass of wine taking a sip. Come on girl you need to calm down.

By the time I finished the wine there was a knock at the door.
I open the door pulling Aisha into a hug. She hugs me back after walking me inside and closing the door.

"Now tell me what happened?" She says sitting me down at the kitchen table.
" I called Wayne several time and he wouldn't answer. The last time I called he answered but his phone was in his pocket and they were shooting. It was a lot of shooting and people screaming. And then Rico was shouting for Dewayne and I didn't hear him responding," I say.

Aisha looks at me before speaking. "Okay Don't get mad but Rico already updated me on everything. He told me to come check on you and I was going to after I picked up some of your favorite snacks," she holds up a bag. I tilt my head looking at her waiting for her to continue.

"They fine. They just had a run in with some of Anthony's boy," she says.
"Ima kill Dewayne ass! Having me worried about him and shit," I say. I saying crying more.

"Awww Baby. You in love," she smiles opening her arms for me.
"Yeah and I hate it," I place my head in her shoulder. Why this nigga gotta scare me like this?

Aisha lays on my bed eating some popcorn while I'm scrolling through Instagram.
" I miss Rico," she whines.

" y'all need to talk when he comes back," I say. It's only right that if I have a healthy relationship that I make sure my Bestfriend is too.
" I know. I know but I'm scared," she says moving up next to me.

" you don't have to be. Look this what we're going to do. We're going to go to a nice movie then dinner. After that y'all need to go home and talk," I say.

"Alright. Alright," Aisha gets under the covers with me.

"Good now cuddle with me bitch," I say turning up greys anatomy.
