Because Of The Journey.

30.

"She's Nicole's sister" Blacky said. I squinted my eyes and shook my head. "Nicole? Like the Nicole I know?", I asked. "Yes youngin' the Nicole you know."

I know I haven't known Nicole for a long time but I definitely know for sure that she's her mom's only child and I'm not sure on her father's side.

"How?" I asked Blacky. "She's her half sister, they share the same father."

Now it makes sense, but it still doesn't makes sense, Okay.

"So why would Christina kidnap her own family?", I asked once more. Blacky laughed a little making me replay my question to see if I said something funny but I don't remember.

"Christina and Nicole's relationship was never a good one. Their father cheated on Nicole's mother with Christina's mother. When Chris was born Nicole was only 7 years old. Patrick, Nicole's dad loved her so much and her mother too. Yes, I guess it's really true what they say about stepmothers being evil. Jeanette, which is Chris's mother was the most evil woman I've ever met she still is but she's in a mental asylum at the moment."

"Mind me asking why?", "That's a story for another day youngin'", he said making me nod my head.

"Immediately after Chris was born things changed, Jeanette and the new born baby became the first priority. Everything revolved around them, Nicole's movie nights with "dad" ended, the NBA Live nights ended, ice cream with her family after "dad's long day at work" also ended. The only thing that she had left was her mother. Kate remained loyal to her husband though she knew what he was doing."

He took out a picture from his pocket and gave it to me. "That's Patrick, Kate and Nicole", he smiled.

I smiled too as soon as I heard him say that, they were a small happy family and I now saw where Nicole's beauty is coming from, her mom. Her eyes, her beautiful smile just her as a whole.

"I found that at Nicole's house where she basically is if she's not at her apartment. The picture was amongst the others which were shattered on the floor."

"So that's where they took her" I said making sense of everything. "Yes it seems like it Youngin'."

"Christina became her father's favourite, but I doubt. Nicole was forced to take care of her mother when she started getting sick and I helped where I could and Patrick's sudden death just had an effect on her. The stealing of his shares and his companies by Mikayla's father was her breaking point. Jeanette and Christina moved far away from here after they heard Patrick was dead. I don't know why but she wasn't even affected by his passing",

"Strange", I said.

"Very strange If you could ask me. I promised Nicole to help her get back what his father owned because I know that's what Patrick would have wanted. Now getting Nicole back won't be as hard as I thought because I already know where Chris is keeping her. I will just need you and your friends help, that's all."

"I'll be glad to help and I know the crew will be down to help too. Thank you so much Blacky" I said giving him a hug. "Anything for you Youngin'", he said.

Blacky is such a good man for real. I mean he takes care of me like his own daughter and the least I could do for him is maybe try and unite him with his kids. Maybe yes he wasn't such a good father back then and there's no excuse for that. But you can see it in him that he's trying so hard to be a good man for his kids.

One thing I really don't understand though is how he actually became friends with a monster and evil man such as Jason. I mean they don't even have anything in common not even one.

The route back home seemed way longer than the one I took coming here. But I didn't mind at all. I was listening to Shiloh Dynasty's music. Shiloh has one of most beautiful voices I've ever heard. In most of the songs I kept thinking I was going to hear Xxxtentacion come in. Y'all know when he clears his throat or hear the sound of a guitar in every start of a song that it's about to blow your mind away.

I was now listening to Not Even Her, I was in cloud 9 without actually drinking or smoking anything. The music had me in a whole different kind of high.

"Don't know why I still try,
And she wonders why I,
I don't trust nobody,
Not even her, not even her, I don't trust nobody",

It started getting dark and that was my favourite part of the 24/7. I mean nighttime is the most peaceful time of the day.
Soon enough I was parking my car and heading to my apartment.

I couldn't keep Nicole out of my mind. I missed her so much. Just seeing her smile and hearing her voice even though she made me mad sometimes I just missed having her around.

I just hoped wherever she was, she was eating and at least given water to drink. I mean they can't be that cruel.
