CHAPTER HUNDRED AND THIRTY FIVE - SKEPTICAL.
WU
My eyes trailed the tires of the truck, before i lifted them into the mirror. I could see myself through it, my very much stressed under appreciated self. It wasn't a huge truck, like a pickup truck, smallish with a white container and tires. And the driver traditionally wearing a black cap and shades.
I zoned back in at the tap of Blackeye, he stared at one of his boys, Terry as he dumped in the last stash into the back of the container. It was a one loaded with millions worth of drugs.
"Where your mind at?" His voice croaked before his hands slowly hit against mine.
My heart thumped, for every second, my heart thumped because it was scary. I shut my eyes at the clang of the metal door against its hinge as he closed the container. To say i was on edge would be a mere understatement, i was stressed and i hadn't had a break in a while, working between being a drugdealer, and working on renovating the building.

WU"But—"Her voice stung my ears as i heart jackhammered in my chest. "But i see a cloud. I see death soon""What?" I asked."I see death. And it's coming hard and dark. And quick like a thief at night. Someone close to you is sick and will die" I shut my eyes, my mind instantly going to Maria, who still struggled with cancer.But then i shut them wide open again——drifting herself from the echoing thoughts in my head as i slid to answer Maria. “Heyy” I pitched my voice to sound enthusiastic as hell once she picked as if i hadn’t just heard i was going to loose her.“What’s good?” I asked, sniffing my nose as i also navigated the parking lot for Jade. I stood by my car with one palm over my eyes to shield the sun. I look

WEYES ALESSIA CARPENTERIt was a normal day. At least it was supposed to be for me, if my mother hadn’t only just revealed that my father was coming by today.It had been months since i had seen him and it once i sat down, i acknowledged my mixed emotions. Increasing the volume of the television even through i wasn’t even watching it, i pulled my phone to my face. The house was empty, and echoing the words of the reporter on the screen.I folded my legs on the chair before taking my eyes off tiktok and to the tv, it had instantly gone to CNN because mother was the last to watch it. And it was a blonde reporter, along the breezy roads of NYC——You could see it at the top of the screen and could even tell by the tall extravagant buildings and sidewalks. She heaved a sigh before she spoke.“Just in—The first milestone vaccine for the corona virus has proven to prevent more than ninety percent of people

AALIYAHAyeesha walked through the door in a silky white dress, a little flair at the ends. She didn't care to explain perhaps what the occasion was, instead——she just asked, as soon as Diane had left. "How was it?" She mouthed as i ran my cup under the coffee machine. I wasn't drained, i was as excited as she was. I just had my first session with this amazing young girl, too amazing to even be weighed down by the chaotic events of her life.Weyes Alessia Carpenter.Alot of things transpired over the course of one call and even a personal conversation. And even though at first, i'd thought it failed with only one person, i grew happy that it was only that person. Weyes."It was amazing. You know helping someone" I beamed a smile to Ayeesha who just stood in astonishment. "The sense of— Of achievement and this contentment" I gestured in a way that onl

JACQUELINEI ran.God, i’d never ran that fast, thrusting through the door that led to Aal’s room. I still held Dele on the line and Wu, who was with Mabel.And even as i stepped into the room and halted, we both still had our phones to our ears. Dele and I as i stared at Aal, gorging on a whole tray of food.“What?” I turned to him and he shrugged his hands.*“And you’re just okay?” I asked, placing my hands on my chest, and heaving sighs of relief. She nodded, giving me. a reason to roll my eyes at her.“You got me so worried” I said.And she scoffed. “It isn’t the first time i’m collapsing, is it? It’s probably meds or just the overwhelming effect—” She said.“The doctor will be by you in a minute” Dele said, flatly before he left and i could tell something wasn’t right with them. “Okay” She respon

WUforgive yourselves, people are dying.“The total death count of the coronavirus has risen well above one million with about seventy million confirmed cases in what is suspected to be a third wave—”I stepped out of the hospital, letting the harsh evening winds hit my face. I adjusted her ear phones which were connected to listen to a podcast, as i scaled the parking lot for Ayodele.Aaliyah had sent me looking for him after leaving for something in his car for about an hour and a half.“In other news, Americans fear that a new deathly strain or variant of the covid-19 could very much pose a threat to the effectiveness of the vaccines. Moving over to a health worker from the John Hopkins Medical Center, Jason Ahaba—“I pulled out my earpiece, allowing me to focus on his car that was s
VAMP CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FORTY ONE - COMING HOME.
MARIAPerhaps it’s right to think that some people know when they’re going to die. While others would give anything for a sign even as far as get involved in a study or mere algorithm——the others just get more than a gut feeling or dream. And the rest, they don’t even want to know. I was one of the rest, i was the opposite, willing to give everything to not know how long i’ll live or when i was going to die.Not even for God forsaken closure. And sometimes, even though you still know, there’s still no closure, no preparation because no one really wants to die.Well, Aaliyah didn’t.*MARIAI paced around own room holding the phone to my ears. I waited for her response for more than a minute as she engaged with a doctor. Wu.We were both panicking, her
VAMP CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FORTY TWO - TAKE ME BACK.
AALIYAHFor the past fifteen minutes, it was the hardest thing to take my eyes off him. He was peaceful, unconscious and easy to imagine how free his mind was to wonder. Mine too as tears welled up in both my eyes as i recounted some of our most treasured memories in those minutes and more——because i feared i’d lose him to this. And without saying our goodbyes. How we transitioned from being the bittersweet couple from an arranged marriage to best of friends will always be a mystery.Maybe because we never did look back at it. At all the things we had been through, together.TWO YEARS BACK“Get off me” The flashbacks of the assault, barely two years ago came flooding back like it was yesterday. His grip became tighter with each thought that i had and the moment, more real——like i was reliving it. I shut my eyes open as i slid the lo

AALIYAHABOUT TWO YEARS BACK"Coming" I squealed as I gathered the flairs of the gown with one hand while I opened the door with another."We have a conversation after this" Wu said as she helped me down the stairs. "Also, I think I kinda blabbed to your mum the whole therapist thing" She warned. "I'm high" She said."You look magnificent" Dele complimented as he walked up to me with a very noticeable nigerian accent. "You too" I plainly said as my eye caught his fanciful tuxedos with a shoe that still managed to compliment his attire. "He's def hot. I'm so snapping him to send to the girls" Wu obviously whispered into my ears as he smiled."You know I'm like steps away" He revealed, awkwardly. "Is that a yes?" Wu asked as she reached for her phone before I looked at her."I think, you need
