I just got off work and was sitting in the car waiting on Murda to answer the phone.

"Wsp?" He answered.

"Uhh hey I need a favor." I asked scared of how he would take it.

"Yea what you need?" He said sounding like he was doing something.

"I need to borrow a gun" it got quiet for a while.

"Man what? Where you at?" He said laughing.

"Just got off work at the mall."

"Come to Ashton crib and I gotchu, what lil summer need a gu-" he was saying till he hung up.

"Omg why is he telling everyone." I put my head on the wheel embarrassed. I soon made it to his house

"I'm outside." I said once he answered.

"Igh here I come."

I waited for a good minute or two before he came outside. He walked up the car and leaned into the window.

"What you need this for?" He asked.

"I have to get my shit and if he get in my way I will do what I need to." I explained.

"Yo momma nigga? You don't want me to come with you?" He asked.

"Nah I wanna do this by myself" i answered.

"Here, aye you be safe don't do no fuck shit." He said handing me the gun. I nodded.

He stood up as I drove off. I head to Tiffany's house, once I made it I sighed as I looked at the house.

I put the gun in my purse, once I did that I got out the car using my key to go inside. I hurriedly walk up to my room packing most of my clothes. I packed Kaykay as well. I went in the closet lifting the floor bored grabbing all my money.

I walked out the closet putting my money in my purse and continued packing.

I grabbed my things and put everything in the car.

"Summer?" I heard as I was about to walk out.

I walked in the living room seeing Tiffany bruised up on the couch.

"He hitting on you too?" I asked.

"Yea..." she said quietly.

"Where is he?"

"Upstairs sleep, you need to leave" she told me, I sat there looking at her thinking.

"Fuck" I said to myself before I bent down.

"Alright I'm finna help you up, but you gotta help me get you up ok? It's gone hurt like hell but the faster we move the better." I explained i wrapped her arm around me and stood up with her. We walked to the door and out to the car.

I put her into the car then ran over to the drivers side. I got inside the car thinking about what he put me through. I reached in my bag and pulled out the gun.

I got out the car and walked in the house I opened the room door and stood over him. I pointed the gun at him but I hesitated, i couldn't do this.

I shot once at the roof.

"If I hear anything about you I can promise I won't miss next time" I said pointing the gun at him as he jumped up looking at me. I walked out and got Inna car then left.

I sat in silence drowning myself in my thoughts. I pulled up to the hospital.

"Why we here?" Tiffany asked.

"To get you help"

"This is the first place he's going to come looking for me...that's what we did when you left." I looked at her.

"Huh?"

"When you left, he went into the hospital asking for you and asked them to notify him if you came. We knew you went to the hospital summer, we knew what was wrong with you too. We was watching." She told me.

"I can take you to a hotel but you gotta do the rest on your own. Get some help like for real." She got a room under a different name.

"Where are you hurting?" I asked on our way to her room.

"No where to bad just a little sore." I opened her door helping her in.

"Come on we need to bathe you." Ran her bath water as she took her clothes off. She sat in the tub as I cleaned her back.

"Why are you helping me?" She asked.

"I found out everyone needs someone to help them get on their feet." I said.

"Who helped you?"

"A boy taught me that, I dissed him and the other people that were helping me. But now I'm up and he's gone I gotta help someone as well." I stated.

"I'm sorry, I've been clean since the last time I saw you hoping we would get back on good terms." I looked at her.

"How has that been?" I asked.

"Alright, it's not easy I'll say that." I got her out the tub helping her put her clothes on then she laid down.

"Thank you summer." She said before I walked out.

I drove back to my house unloading all of our stuff. Once I finished I called Destiny seeing if she was at home.

I made it to her houses and went up to her room. I opened her door closing the door behind me.

"Did you kill him?" She asked sitting up looking at the gun in my hand. I sat on the bed looking at the gun.

"I couldn't do it." I said as I began crying. Destiny came behind and wrapped her arms around me, taking the gun out my hand sitting it on the nightstand.

"He was right there and I couldn't even do it. How could he even sit there and hurt people." I said crying even harder.

"It's good that you didn't." Destiny said.

"You went by yourself?" She asked and I nodded.

"I thought Kane was going with you." I shook my head no.

"Why?" She asked concerned.

"He said he didn't want to be in a relationship and we haven't talked since" I told her, Kehlani came in sitting next to me pulling me into a hug

"Aww baby it's gone be ok." She said as we rocked back and forth.

"When you get here?" I asked.

"Just now I was on the phone when you called and I had to come." She explained.

"You feeling better? You done crying?" She asked.

"Yea I think so." I said.

"Alright let's have movie night and put our little one to sleep." Destiny said as we all laid down. I laughed a little.

"I hate y'all" I said sniffling.

"We love you too"
