Jeremy was dead now. He was really gone. His lifeless corpse twitching as he left existence. This was my first body. I never wanted to killed nobody.
But what other choice did I have? How dare he.
That bastard got what he deserved.
I hear strained breathing as I look over to my right as Kiara was still alive. She looks up at me faintly as she had been shot in her shoulder. Dammit think.
Maybe... she'll apologize. Yes. If she apologizes than everything can be forgiven. I'm not going to pretend I haven't thought about cheating. I mean look at me. I'm not ugly.
I look into the mirror to see a light skin male with white teeth. I flash a smile at myself trying to convince myself that my actions were justified. My chocolate brown eyes filled with pain as tears continuously fell.
"Dyland... you shot me!" Kiara weakly looks up at me as my attention went back to her. "Tell me you didn't mean to do what you did Kiara." I said as she sat on the bed fully naked.
I couldn't get the image of Jeremy being inside of her out my mind. He got to feel what I feel. That's supposed to be my feelings. How dare she. Many months, weeks, and days he's been over. How long has this been happening?
"Your too emotional! It wasn't that deep to kill him Dyland!" Kiara snaps at me as her tears burst out from her eyes. "You lying bitch! You don't have the right to be crying right now!" I snapped at her as my eyes rained along with hers.
Her arm dripping blood on our bed and carpet as she continued to cry holding her arm. "He was your best friend!" Kiara tells me as if I didn't know that. "I know he was. That's why I killed him." I tell her as she looks at me with disgust.
"You don't have the right to look at me like that!" I go into my pocket pulling out an engagement ring. I spent months saving up this ring, waiting to propose to her. "You see this? Do you see this?" I asked her as she wiped her eyes and stared at the ring. "We can still try? Okay?" Kiara said as she walked towards me.
"What you did is unforgivable." I tell her as she rubs my chest staring into my eyes. "But the Bible says to forgive right?" She tells me as she's using my tactics against me. You sneaky bitch. You think your going to talk your way out of this? We'll see.
"Truth is... I never loved you." She whispered into my ear as her words pierced my heart. I was brought back to reality as her knee landed into my nuts. I fell down holding my balls as I was in pain in my genital area. How dare she.
She was tough. Unfortunately for me I should've seen this coming. Kiara is a black belt in Taekwondo. She looks at me as I'm still in pain as I force myself up. She runs for her phone as it was on the table in the living room.
Think. If she makes a phone call I can go to jail for life. I can't go to jail for life.
I immediately lunge myself up as I chase her as she screams loudly. I tackled her down pressing my hand over her mouth. Her muffled screams as she looks into my eyes as she tries to fight me off of her.
"I love you Kiara, tell me you still love me?" I asked her as my weight was pinning her down. I remove my hand from her mouth as she spits on my face. Anger zoning me out as I snapped not realizing my hands were wrapped around her neck. My hands were around her throat like a collar as I continued to squeeze. How dare you.

Night
My phone rings as I immediately snap out of my trance. I was standing still looking out the window of my apartment. I must've been thinking about Kiara again as I take a deep breath. I pick up my phone as I answered the call as the person spoke to me.
"Aye Dyland it's Jimbai, Kiara's brother." Jimbai said as my heart started to pound. "Hey-hey... Long time no see. Wassup?" I asked him as he was quiet over the phone. "Why'd you leave Texas Dyland?" He asked me as I immediately think of something to say.
"Hard to cope. You know ever since the home invasion..." I started to say as he yelled at me to shut up cutting me off. "Bullshit. You did it." He said as I bite my lip nervously. Good thing he didn't FaceTime me. I would've been caught. "Excuse me?" My voice coming off as defensive as he FaceTimed me. I answer his call as I fix my face to look serious.
A dark skin man with tattoos all over his body and face as he was looking at me. We stare at each other as he studies my face. "Dyland I know you did it you jealous bitch." He said as my face scrunched up with anger. "You gone stop talking to me like you crazy." I warned him as he gets all upset and starts to run his mouth. I hang up on him blocking his number as I take a deep breath.
He thinks because he killed someone he's a tough guy? And all of those stupid tattoos on his face? Am I supposed to feel intimidated. I'm not.
Well he's blocked. Besides he doesn't have any evidence that I did it. It's all done and in the past.
I don't need all of that negativity in my life right now. I just want to focus on... well speak of the devil.
I get a text from Alexis as she was texting my phone.
A- Hey J cole

D- Than how do I remind you of J cole 🤣🤣
A- okay Dyland lol wyd
D- not much tiny ass
A- There ain't shit tiny over here, now I can't speak on your behalf though 🤔
Oh no she didn't.
I call her phone as she picks up laughing. "Oh you think that's funny?" I laugh along with her as we're having a conversation for a good hour over the phone. Hearing her light but strong spoken voice turned me on. She was what was missing in my life.
"Hey, what you doing tonight?" She asked as I look at the clock as I grab my keys immediately. "I'm not doing much wassup?" I asked her as she looks at me with that smile. That smile I was beginning to love.
"Do you want to come over?" She asked me as I flash a smile showing my white teeth. "Yea send me your address, I'm going to shower and I'll be right over." I tell her as she sent me her location as I hung up on her to go cleanse my body.
This was easy. She must be lonely. Well she won't be anymore. Hold on my darling I'll be right over.
