Janelle POV...
I hear a knock on the door and it opens to Anissa, I put my book down and look at her.
Me:What's up?
Anissa:Umm... I don't know how to say this.
Me:Then say it...
Anissa:Uncle Gambi died... Tonight. He was in a shoot out and his car got burned up.
Me:Did you see a body?
I grab my book again and continue to read.
Anissa:No-
Me:Then he's not dead.
Anissa:*scoffs* You sound like dad.
Me:Then I'm probably right. You're acting like this man doesn't have escape plans for his escape plans.
Anissa:People recorded the explosion, no one got out.
Me:That they saw... I'm not gonna shed a tear until I see a body and I'm wearing black for a funeral.
Anissa:*chuckles* You're ridiculous.
Me:No I'm a realistic person. I won't mourn over a thought.
She makes a frustrated noise and storms out. I don't know why she assumes everyone lives with their heart on their sleeve. I'm not about to cry until I see him with no pulse. I feel my phone buzz and I pick it up.
Khalil:You busy?
Me:Nope, wanna come up?
Khalil:Yeah.
Me:Come on.
I get up and stretch when I hear knocking on my window. I grin and lift it seeing the goof ball cheesing.
Me:Well that was mighty fast.
Khalil:Yeah, Well you know...
Me:Mhhhm, I believe you were already up here and heard me and Anissa talking.
I see him glance to the right and I grin before walking back over to my bed.
Khalil:Damn, can I ever do something behind your back?
Me:Why would you want to? I'm an understanding person, whatever you need to do I'll try my hardest to understand why you're doing it. Hence your situation with that ugly bastard you call a boss.
Khalil:Yeah, I'm sorry about that, I had no clue until he came back. It's messed up... I'm also sorry for your uncle.
Me:*shrugs* I'm not, because I know he's not dead.
Khalil:How do you know?
Me:*shrugs* Just a feeling... I don't feel that piece of my heart missing you know? Like when you left? I felt it but I knew you weren't dead. It's the same with him. Someone was out to kill him and he had to make it seem like he was gone.
Khalil:Well if you believe it I will too.
Me:Plus he was the only one to not jump down my throat when he heard we're together.
Khalil:Wait who else knows?
Me:Anissa, I guess she seen Jennifer's phone and seen her texting you and then she squealed, she tried to get in my face but I didn't let her.
