TWO WEEKS LATER
There was something about he air, it was clearer and the pillows were softer and life, was soon, easier.
I felt a palm clenched around mine as i slowly parted my eyes, to see Aaliyah, seated in a chair beside me.
"Hello-" She greeted before brushing my hair behind my ears and a smile crept to my lips as i turned.
I t was always weird to see her without her hijab but that wasn't the only thing different, i looked around
-and i was home.
"You sleep like a log-" She teased as i managed to regulate my thumping heart beat while i sat up.
"It's okay now. You're home now" She whispered.
"They have Albert in custody and he's confessed to all of it-" "Well, Paul first did it" Jacqueline added as she flashed a smile before w

WUI put up my grey hoodie that managed to shield a side of my face as i also pocketed my gloved hands.I took in a deep breath before crossing over the road and towards a fence with a metal gate from which was guarded by a black American with tattoos imprinted all over his face.He adjusted on sighting me, in a way that pushed forward his broadened muscled chest before he cleared his throat. I just stood there before he spoke."What do you want?" His words came masked in both this pungent cigarette smell and his thick African accent and then i snapped out of all the thinking."Hey. Wu" It took a while to realize how effeminate my voice compared to his and he looked around."I came alone. I need to see blackeye" I said before suddenly a piece of clothe enveloped my sight and then my face as I felt my legs being f
VAMP CHAPTER SEVENTY FIVE - A TALE OF A TWO DECADE MURDER
WUThe car pulled over as i looked to the address on that paper in my scribbled handwriting and taking in a deep sigh, i slowly stepped unto the concrete pavement-taking a moment to admire the even lawns and all the flowers on the porch and then around the serene environment before i walked to the door.I fidgeted around the steps, knowing that entering that door, was in some way going to change my life, if at least she could at least piece together for me.And then in a swift fashion i knocked on the door before turning around,-and if i had kept on walking before she came through the door, i don't think i would have ever gotten the answers i sought."Hey" Her voice called, steps away as i turned around the woman that stood on her porch. "Joanne?"She hesitantly nodded, closing the door behind as she arched her brows. "I alread

AALIYAHIn that moment when her door had unlocked and she jogged towards the driveway in her sweatpants, i came out of the car to the displeasure on her face."Look, I'm sor-" I started, barely getting enough to time to shut the car door befshe waved me off with her palms. "Aaliyah, what are you doi-" I sighed."No. Please. Listen to me. I was wrong to leave earlier because we're friends-" I said, stepping close enough to see her signature eye roll. "Apparently, friends that betray each other-" She muttered under her breath."No. We're sisters and I can see that you're hurting and you're not angry with me, Wu" I literally pointed out."I'm not going to leave no matter how pissed or angry you are. After all, i got my fair share of incarceration. I had to live with the guilt of what i had done" I added."And yet, all i held unto

MARIAStrapping the last lace around my shoes, i looked into Tessa's green eyes before she hopped out from the back of the van--leaving us to trek a distance towards the building."Approach with caution, two men approaching from the back exit of the building-" The connecting ear pods rang in my ears the sound of Frederick's voice.And i looked to Tessa for a second time before halting beneath the fence. "Be relaxed, they can smell fear-""Yo. Private property. Night club's not open till nine-" A man with boldened tattoos on his face approached us, leaving me to unconsciously step back."No. I need drugs" Tessa whispered, under her breath and he scoffed loudly. "What?" He asked."I know about the drugs. I'm a dealer" She added, leaving him slightly threatened with this information as he looked to one of th

JACQUELINEIt wasn't long since i had seen Wu like this, in bed and her arms beside her with her eyes closed-that was until she did open her eyes and was sucked back into this reality and i just smiled to her."Jacqueline" She called and i nodded, taking her hand into mine as i nodded. "Where's Maria?" She asked."I'm right here" Maria stood from the chair before she walked to the other side of her bed. "And Aaliyah?"I shook my head as i look to her text on my phone.Aal: I'm sorry. Still waiting on Albert to speak.I sighed, knowing how much Wu wanted her, especially her to be here when she did wake up."Did they catch him? Black-eye?" She turned to Maria before looking to the few agents that still loitered around her room, waiting for her statement.And i nodded, looking to the news o

WUTWO MONTHS LATER"Has the jury reached a verdict?" The judge asked as he turned to the segregated stands from which a suited woman stood, before handing him few papers."Yes, your honor-" She said with a quiet nod before taking her seat while the judge scanned the papers he held in his hands and then he turned. "Please stand-"He nodded to the defendant. Paul--who stood so closely to his lawyer whilst awaiting the ultimate judgment with shaky palms.Yet somehow it didn't feel like the justice we wanted, because as crazy as it sounded, Albert didn't deserve an easy way out. He deserved to suffer--like he made her to. Shoving a knife into her and tossing her over a balcony to land on cold concrete.Watching her take her last painful breath. He deserved worse.
