Need Saving ( Thug Love Story)

Chapter 16

Aleah POV
I didn't bother getting up to go to the trap today. I didn't have the energy to even fake like I was okay around everyone. Not that anyone truly cared. Here I was sitting up on the bed fiddling with a razor in my hand. Mercy's words kept playing in my head. Maybe it was a mistake for me to get saved. You would think my new living arrangements would have made the pain go away by now but no. Doesn't matter about how many luxury things I can afford now, I'm still left broken.

Tears came pouring down from my eyes. "Why did I have to be brought into a world full of misery? "I thought. I tried wiping my tears but they kept falling. Not caring anymore I started to drag the sharp blade across my wrist. I watched as blood start to spill from within. I got up off my bed with my arm still leaking and walked to the kitchen.  I grabbed the bottle of alcohol I had stored in one of my cabinets and went back into my room.
Before getting settled back into my bed, I also grabbed some pills I had laying around in my room.

Once I got back comfortable on the bed, I popped the pill container open and poured what was left of it in my hand. As I blankly stared at the pills I was holding, I started to think again to myself. I found it sad how I'm so desperate to feel anything than what I'm feeling right now that I'm willing to kill myself. I wanted more for myself. I hold so many good qualities that if someone could  just take a second to look pass my physical appearance, they would be able to see them.
I couldn't think of one reason that was worth
me living another day on this earth. So with that being said I put as many pills I could swallow at once into my mouth and swallowed it down with alcohol. I threw alcohol down my throat a few more times after, before I tossed the bottle across the room. I laid back comfortably and closed my eyes and waited for what was to come.

Mercy POV
Instead of going home after I left Aleah's house, I went to the next closest stop which was Von's house. We were now sitting on the couch talking about the argument me and Aleah had.

"You know you wrong for what you said to her" he said to me.

"Pssh are you serious...did not hear me say how that bitch compared me to some pervert ass niggas after I helped her ass. I could have killed her the day she came bursting through
my office with a gun in her hands." I scoffed at him
"You could have but you didn't so she here for a reason. After all this shit your ass still ain't kill her yet. We both know nobody else would even have gotten the chance to finish a sentence if they tried to say some of the things she's said to you" Von replied back.

"I'm not trying to here that shit. She's ungrateful and I'll think twice before I get involved with another charity case " I spoke in rage.

"She still apart of the team at the end of day and has been pulling not only her weight but other people's too. Shit...if it wasn't for her, we wouldn't even been able to triple the amount of money we've been bringing in" Von yelled at me.

" so what that mean....you trying to say I NEED her cuz last time I checked at the end of day I'm the one whose really pulling the cards and making shit run not her" I yelled back.

Von just shook his head at me. "We been rocking for how long but when Aleah came into the picture, you've been on her side ever since" I spoke with anger.

"I ain't choosing no side. You wrong and you know ima be the one to tell you that. Don't ever question where we stand. I have never gone against you then and I don't plan on starting now. Aleah been through enough shit so instead on adding on to it, how bout you go back over there and fix that shit. It's nothing wrong with admitting you care nigga" Von said.

"Well I ain't no simp nigga" I replied back.

"Nigga you bout to be a simp today cuz I'm tired of y'all fighting. I'm telling you, y'all just need to go ahead and get married" Von spoke with a smirk.
" Fuck that but I'm only going back over that bitch cuz you said something "I spoke while getting up.

"Yeah whatever nigga, you know you want to make up as well. Your ass can't stay away for too long" he said while laughing.

Not even bothering to say anything back,
I quickly left Von house and made my way back to Aleah's house. While in the car, I got the chance to think. Maybe Von was right...I mean I shouldn't have said some of things I said but could you blame me. She really try to play me as some pervert ass nigga. I'm a lot of things but that's not one of them.

Once I made it to her apartment, I walked up to her place and started banging on the door. I seen her car out front so I know her ass home. She must know it's me cuz I know she don't got nobody else coming to bang at her door. Shiddd she better not have no one else....not saying I care though. After waiting a while I said fuck this and decided to do what any thug knows best and that's pick a mother fucking lock.

After I picked the lock open, I slowly walked into her apartment. The chips she was eating at 3:00 in the morning was still on the couch. I called out her name but got no response. Not having time for her petty ass games since I'm sure she was ignoring me, I rushed back to her room. When I burst into the rom, I saw her laid out on the bed. For a moment I thought she was finally getting some sleep since she said she couldn't really get any at night but then I saw blood as I got closer.

I seen her arm leaking slowly as a razor along with a pill container laid right next to her.
" FUCK....Come on Aleah don't do this shit" I yelled as I lifted the top half of her body into my arms. I started to panic and smack her face a little but I got no response. She was still breathing but it was very faint. I pulled my phone out and dialed for the ambulance to come. Once they assured me, they would be heading this way as quick as possible after cursing their asses out, I put my phone down.

"Please Aleah you can't do this shit man....You can't die on me babygirl" I screamed as I stuck two of my fingers down her throat.

Within seconds she started throwing up some of the shit she took. After she finished she was still not really responding to me which brought a tear to my eye. I didn't allow it for it to fall though . As I continued to wait for the ambulance to come, I started to pray to god as I rocked Aleah back and forth. This was going to be the one death that I couldn't bare to have on my hands. I didn't want to be the reason that caused her to pull the plug.
