It's been a week and she's still gone. I was pissed, but more sad. I woke up to Nala crying. I got up and walked downstairs. I went into her room and lifted her up. I fed her before she fell asleep. I put her in her crib then went to the bathroom. I washed my hands then looked in the mirror

You: Please come back. This is so stressful.

I was so tired from waking up every night. I was missing Daesha. Everyone else was confused on why my basketball skills weren't as good and only the coach knew. And my close friends and family, but that was it. It was lonely sleeping alone at night. It was lonely not having anyone to wake up to. Having nobody to talk to- except Nala. That was about the only thing going for me. It was so empty without her here and it was really messing me up. I didn't feel like me without her. It's like she became part of me. I wiped my face before lying down. She started crying again. I groaned

You: Really Nala

I got up and brought her into my room. I made a barrier so she couldn't roll off of the bed then went to sleep. She stayed asleep.

I woke up the next day and got ready. I got a phone call from a random number. I turned on the recorder and answered it.

???: Is this Bryson?

You: Sure

???: So, Daesha... What do you have to say?

It was quiet

???: Talk damnit!

Dae: What do you want me to say

???: You're making this hard

It went quiet

Dae: I'm not saying that

???: Do it or I'll-

Dae: I'm not-

She squealed before I heard gunshots

You: Did you kill her?

I said quietly barely being able to talk

???: Let's see

It was quite

???: Daesha. Bryson wants to talk to you. Hellooooo? Oh well. Guess I-

I hung up and threw my phone. I sat down and put my head in my hands and cried. I called my coach and told him I couldn't go in today. He told me to come in but not practice. I got dressed and dropped Nala off at Shawn's place

Shawn: Woah, what's wrong?

You: I don't know if she's dead or alive I got a call and then there were gunshots. He tried to get her to talk but it was just quiet so I hung up- I don't know if he actually killed her or not I just miss her

Shawn: You wouldn't believe how much I miss her... But what would she want you to do

You: Take care of Nala

Shawn: Yes. We have another Daesha right here. She'll grow to be just like her. Trust me, Daesha's energy and power is never leaving. And neither is she

You: Yeah...

He side hugged me.

Shawn: We're gonna be ok

You: Yeah... It gets better

I pulled away

You: Right?

I looked at him

Shawn: Of course it does

You: Ok

I left and got to the gym. I just sat in the bleachers. The team's company really did help.

Kyle: Hey, buddy

You: Hey

Kyle: What happened

I explained the call

You: I don't know if she still here or not. I really wanna believe she is, but if she's not-

Kyle: She is. Trust me. I have a feeling she's not gone

You: I don't know

After practice Shawn called me and said he'd keep her for the week. I thanked him before going home. I was balling my eyes out until I got a text from my mom. I turned on the news and there were theories about her being dead. I couldn't take this anymore. There was nowhere to go or escape this. This was a real life nightmare

1 month later

I was at practice actually doing something. I wasn't better at all, but it would take my mind off of it. And it did. Until I had to go home and wake up to nothing, go to sleep alone, and just be alone. I got home and unlocked the door. Nala was at my Mom's house because she wanted to see her. She wanted me to take a break. I showered then lied in bed. I woke up to a knock on the door. I groaned getting up. I walked downstairs and opened the door. I just looked at her before lifting her up and hugging her.

You: I missed you so much

Dae: You wouldn't believe how much I missed you. Did you take care of Nala?

You: Kind of. She stayed at Shawn's and my Mom's sometimes.

She pulled away and looked at me. She cupped my cheek.

Dae: I promised you I'd be back

I smiled before putting her down and hugging her the right way.

Dae: I'm tired

You: How do you wake up every night?

Dae: Was it hard?

You: Way too hard

She laughed. She closed the door and locked it.

Dae: What happened when I was gone

You: Let's put it the simple way. Everyone thinks you're dead

Dae: Oh... He only did that phone call to make you upset. He wanted you to be sad for a while. That's the only reason why he kept me.

You: Oh... Well at least you're ok. His plan worked. I was miserable.

She chuckled as she changed.

Dae: At least you missed me

You: Why wouldn't I? I wouldn't want to be a single dad. Or Nala to wonder where her mom is. That would be horrible. And overall you just wouldn't be here. The world would be different

She laughed.

Dae: Well I'm here now

You: Thank God

She chuckled before crawling into bed. I got in behind her and we both went to sleep.
