Meilani Marie
My bruised hands trembled as I frantically searched through the room for my cell phone. Tears clouded my vision, making it hard to see my surroundings in the dark basement. The men upstairs laughed loudly, forgetting that I was locked down here. I almost gave up on my search. But, under the bed my hand felt the pop socket on the back of my phone.
A wide smile appeared on my face, as I quickly dialed the number of my best friend.
She answered immediately yelling, "Meilani where have you been? Your family literally called the police, and filed a missing persons report. I'm so worried about you, I swear I'll cuss you out if you went partying for days. Just tell me where you are."
Rolling my eyes I responded with, "Listen to me carefully. Day Day is back." Chills ran through my spine just from saying the name.
She gasped loudly, "Since when? He was sentenced for 15 years in prison. It's only been three years, Meilani. Please tell me your safe, because it's dangerous for you to be in these streets with him out."
"Melody, some guys in his gang came after me a few nights ago when I was leaving work. They drugged me and locked me in a basement. Each night ever since they have been beating me. And some of them began taking advantage of me as I fall in and out of consciousness."
"Mei you need to get out of there right now!"
"I know, Melody, that's why I need you to get the police to track this call. I'm not going to hang up until y'all track it. But, I don't have much time before they come back down here. So, Please don't say anything on the phone or he may literally kill me."
"Okay I got you girl. Please be careful and defend yourself until we come get you."

After the call with Meilani, I remained in shock. I jumped out of bed with my boyfriend Chris slightly waking him up.
"Babe what time is it? Where are you going?" He asked while yawning
Throwing my long curls into a bun, and putting on a black track suit, I ignored his question.
He repeated his question with more urgency, "What time is it? And where are you going? I don't know who you think you are ignoring me."
Rolling my eyes and turning around to address him I said "Look I don't have time for this. It's 2 am, and something happened to Meilani. I don't have time to explain, so back off and shut the fuck up period."
His brown eyes darkened as he jumped out of bed coming at me. "Little girl I don't know who you think you are. You better watch your mouth talking to me. I'm not one of your little friends. You know I'll fuck you up in a heart beat." He pushed me against the dresser, getting close to me. I could feel his warm breath on my neck, as his hands grabbed my waist.
Even though he put me in my place, he turned me all the way on. I licked my lips, looking at him deeply.
He pulled my hair out of the bun and began to kiss my caramel skin.
He almost got me caught up, but I snapped out of the trance and pushed him back.
"Babe back up I don't have time for this. I said Meilani needs help, and I meant it." I said breathlessly
Grabbing my keys and purse, I ran downstairs to the door and left before Chris could distract me anymore.
Driving down the narrow roads I began to think about Chris. Me and him have always had a complicated relationship. We met at Meilani's 21st birthday party. He caught my eye immediately, because he alway carried himself in a luxurious way. At the party he approached me trying to hit on me. Although I liked him from the start, I played hard to get. After a few months I finally gave into him. But then he turned into a totally different person. He developed a fiery temper, and began to be way to over protective. But, he never put his hands on me in a way that I didn't like. **** Turning into the parking lot of the local police station, I began to feel nervous. Taking the key out of the ignition, I slowly walked into the station. And, a tall officer greeted me as I entered. I briefly explained the situation, and gave my phone to the officer.
I almost forgot that I had Meilani still on the phone. But I was reminded when I heard screams coming through the phone speakers.
"No no no no no! Please don't touch me! No get off me! Help! Someone help me!" She screamed
My heart stopped in my chest, and the last thing we heard was, "I'm going to kill you."
