"how the fuck are you alive tavares?" i said looking at him. the fucker still looked dead.
"i was given a second chance," he smirked.
"oh fuck no," i shook my head, "this that hatian voodoo shit ain it? what you is a zombie now?"
he laughed and shook his head, "just know i was given a second chance in exchange for a soul,"
"what the fuck..." i said looking at him. i couldn't believe what i was hearing. normally you'd see this shit in movies and on tv but this was real life.
"you deadass? like you fr right now?" i asked him.
"nigga i was shot in the head. my body was left on my momma's porch. y'all saw me in a fucking casket ofc i'm deadass. and ima get that soul," he chuckled.
"i'm not about to do this chile untie me right now," i said fidgeting in the chair.
"not until you help me get to luca and egypt,"
"nigga i can't do that regardless. and you know i can't. egypt don't fuck with me neither does luca,"
"you gon find a way," he said cutting the rope and setting me free, "and don't even think about hiding. ima find you,"
i quickly ran out the chair and out the house to my car. aniyah was crying but i didn't have time to comfort her i just had to go, quickly.
i dialled mei's number to warn her not go home.
"hello-" she answered.
"where tf you at?! i went to your place- taveres he's alive bro where tf was you at dawg?!"
"so you saw him too? when i was waiting for you outside he was trying to get in my car so i drove off somewhere ion know," she sighed, "ion even know where tf i'm at but i should've called you i just didn't because i was in so much panic,"
"bro he's talkin bout sum he was given a second chance in exchange for a soul or some shit ion know he on some demonic shit bro,"
"i'm fucking scared," i added, "why would you leave and have me go all the way there,"
"i panicked i didn't know-"
"i have a child mei! a fucking child! if something happens to me she has no one to take care of her! you know my situation with my mom already. aniyah's dad is fucking dead! why would you have me go over there knowing who and what you saw?"
"i'm sorry chrissy i just panicked,"
"its basic principle bro. you know sum goin on wherever i'm bout to be at let me know before i get there dawg. anything could've happened to me whilst aniyah was crying in the car. anything could've happened to aniyah,"
"i said i was sorry," she said and i just hung up. she was apologising like she just broke something of mine or some shit. her demonic psycho ex could've killed me right there and then.

"i knew i'd find you here," deante said as soon as i opened the door. i thought it was my food but it turned out to be him.
"what are you doing here?" i rolled my eyes.
"i came to get you," he said letting himself in. i closed the door behind him and went to sit on the couch. i was at tavares' house where i thought no one would find me but they did.
"ion know why you came, i'm not going anywhere," i folded my arms.
"whatchu got goin ken? i know you ain been here for days cos of that petty lil argument so what's really the matter?"
"i just needed time to myself," i said.
"youn love me no more or sum?" he said pulling me closer to him. he wrapped his arm around my waist as i laid my head on his shoulder.
"i still do i just be overthinking about everything and i had a mental breakdown,"
"youn gotta over think when you got me mama," he kissed my cheek, "if you need to vent about anything you could always vent to me,"
"yeah but some things i just feel like you won't understand,"
"so help me understand then. i'm here for a reason. i'm supposed to be your best bitch and your lover,"
"no actually egypt's my best bitch," i said holding my hand up making him suck his teeth.
"what's wrong? you miss tavares?" he asked me and i nodded which made him sigh. i knew the deal. i knew why they had to do what they did but that didn't mean i wasn't allowed to be hurt. what makes it worse is i'm still fucking with the people that did it.
"shit i miss him too ngl," he shook his head, "that was literally my brother after luca. i honestly hate how it had to be him,"
"but this is street shit mama you know this. if youn wanna fuck with me no more because of this shit i'd understand," he added.
"but that's what's fucking me up. why am i still able to be with you? why can i be at luca's crib and chill and not feel a way? i feel like i'm doin tavares and my family wrong,"
"yo family don't know who killed him tho,"
"i know but still, it's the guilt that's killing me," i sighed.
"i feel you. just don't think too much into it aight?"
"okay."

"bae," i called out to luca. i sat they baby clothes my mom had bought me on the dresser then went into the bathroom where luca was.
"remember that time in chapter one where tj said youn like black girls?" i smiled at him through the mirror as he sucked his teeth. "whatchu sayin about them now?"
"man ian never told that man ian like black girls. i just never spoke to any because they ain fuck with me because i'm lightskin,"
"you just saying that cos they ate you up in them comments," i laughed loud.
"if ian like black girls i wouldn't be with you would i?"
"yeah but you see me, a black girl, fucking with a lightskin man so that excuse was ass,"
"what barbie said again? anything is possible,"
"not you quoted barbie luca," i laughed as he stood there and chuckled.
"you feel a type of way being with me after that was said?"
"at first yeah but i brushed it off when i saw how much you fuck with me fr,"
"good," he kissed my forehead, "you think we rushed into this shit?"
"why you say that?"
"we been together what, a year? already engaged, living together and we got a baby on the way,"
"but we both know the love is real enough to make us last forever. you know you my soulmate. what, you having doubts?"
"naa i just wanted to make sure we was on the same page. i know i'm not going no where and now that i know you're definitely not i'm good,"
"hmm," i said eyeing him. i didn't like the way he just doubted me just now. "as long as you're happy king." i patted him on the back.
