Nelli's Perspective:

I put the baby monitor on the table and I sat down on the bean bag next to Emmanuel. I kicked his leg and he woke up. He rubbed his eyes and looked at me. I passed him the glass of water and he drank it. I waited for him to wake up properly. He relit his zoot and looked at me.

Emmanuel- You know I've missed you bares

Me- If you missed me why didn't you contact me? You could've even sent a message through your mum.

Emmanuel- Thing's were just complicated. You know you were the love of my life, if I could have, I would have. I couldn't talk to you then risk you telling the wrong person I was alive

Me- I wouldn't have told anyone, not like your friends were tryna rate me after you "died" anyways. The only two that checked me were Tiny and Quel.

Emmanuel- What do you mean Quel?

He said through clenched teeth I was kind of shocked, I looked at him like he was crazy cos he honestly needs to calm down I've had enough of angry males for the week.

Me- Ay calm down what did I do now?

Emmanuel- What? So you had Jaquel around my kid yeah?

Me- He was lowkey my support system when you died. He helped me pay rent, the bills, bought Siah nappies and stuff. But the other day he told me he liked me which I find soo weird.

Emmanuel- Mandem are tapped. I hope you know he started those rumours about you and him.

Me- How do you know about them?

Emmanuel- They've been about since before my disappearance. That's why I was such a prick to you, I thought that was his yute.

He paused before continued...

Emmanuel- He set me up for murder but he took care of my baby mum cos he thought I was dead. 

My mouth dropped, I didnt know how to act because what the fuck?  How could he do that? He's crazy

Me- What? What are you saying to me right now?

Emmanuel- He's the one who drove all of them lots there he gave them my addy, told them what I did to their little cousin or whatever

Me- How did you get back here then? How comes you didn't die when you was supposed to?

Emmanuel- As soon as I hit the water I thought I was gonna die. I couldn't feel my arm I thought it was gonna fall off or something. The waves were so hard aswell.  I didn't even know where I was going...


Emmanuel's POV

I'm drowning. I can't swim for shit and I can't make noise or anything or they'll know they didnt finish the job. I didnt even have time to think about what I was gonna have to do next. These waves were throwing me everywhere. I couldn't feel my left arm anymore I thought I was gonna have to get it amputated or maybe this was the first sign of death. After getting fucked up by these waves I felt my back get slammed into something hard. I gripped whatever it was and it seemed solid. I attempted to catch my breath and I opened my eyes. It was holding up the bridge, I was underneath the bridge and I dont know how Im gonna get on top of it.

I nearly passed out when I saw a hand reach out in front of me. I thought it was death asking me to give them my hand. I grabbed it anyways, I was desperate. The hand helped me  get on the bridge. I laid down and caught my breath. 

I noticed it was MK's little cousin. I actually didnt want smoke I was in pain  and I just didnt know what I could do now. I felt so hopeless. He saw my scared expression and told me to calm down because he was going to help me. He helped me up and took me round the corner. I was confused when I saw a car, he helped me in.
