It's all fun and games in the daytime. Children laughing, playing, people walking around, talking and hanging out. But when the clock strikes 10 at night, its a nightmare. Especially on 2300 Jackson Street, that's where all hell breaks loose. Thugs...

I sighed as I closed my door. Just got home from work. Now I have to go back. I went in my bedroom & sat down on the bed. I took my shoes off & massage my foot. I've been on my feet all day today. Its going to be worse after I go to The Diamonds Club. Lately, the club hasn't been getting any customers. Mostly its because of the food. I don't blame the customers the food is terrible. I look over at my desk & see my cosmetology books. If i just had the time to look at them right quick. Maybe a sneak peek.
I really want my own salon so badly.
RING! RING!
I grabbed my phone out of my jacket & answer it.
"Hello?"
"Hey Ma."
Tyrone.
"You have some nerve calling."
"I'm sorry about last night."
"You left me alone in that apartment. Anything could've happened to me."
"Hear me out ma please."
"Fine."
"While you was sleeping, I heard noises downstairs. I got up & went to see what it was. Nothing was there. So I went back to the crib & saw a figure. It was standing over you. Watching you. The light flashed through the window for a quick second. And I saw a blue tie. I panicked & ran off. I didn't mean to leave you there. I was gonna come back for you I swear."
"Wait, you said you saw a blue tie?"
"Yes."
"You don't think its him. Do you?"
"I don't know. Possible."
I clutch the phone in my hand. I gasped & took a breath. My heart is about to jump out of my chest. I thought that was just a myth. He's real? I looked around my room. He could be in the room with me right now.
"No, you're just messing with me."
"I'm serious. I saw a blue tie."
"How could you be so sure?"
"If I wasn't sure then I wouldn't send Anthony out to find you."
"Wait. You sent Anthony to find me?"
"Yeah. When I went back to the crib, you was gone. I thought something happened to you. Or worse. So I sent Anthony to find you."
That's why Anthony was at Club 30. He wasn't looking for a friend. He was looking for me. Why didn't he just say that?
"I'm really sorry. Let me make it up too you."
"How?"
"Let me take you out this weekend."
"Where?"
"The movies at 8."
"We'll see."
I hung the phone up & threw it on the bed. This can not be happening right now. I was almost killed by the man in the blue suit? I'm not so sure if its true. Maybe that's his lame excuse for leaving me alone at that apartment. I guess i'll come to this little date. Now, I have to go to the Diamond Club. I change into my work clothes. I grab my jacket & keys. I head out of the apartment & locked up.
As I was walking to the Diamond club, I heard second footsteps behind me. I stopped & turned around. Nobody was there. I continue walking until I saw a figure behind a car. I walked faster. The footsteps became louder & aggressive. That's when I started to run. I ran past Diamond club. I was running down the street with barely no street light. Suddenly, I trip on a garage can. I fell & hit my head hard on the concrete ground.
My vision got blurry. My head was spinning. The same footsteps approach me. The figure bent down & whisper in my ear.
"Let this be a lesson for the next time you enter my street."
Just like that, it disappeared. Leaving me alone on the cold, wet street. Everything went black.
