• Jeilani POV •
Sunday, Dec. 22th
5:50p.m.

I have spent all day with Ki'Myra in the mall. She has been trying to find everyone a gift since Christmas is in 3 days.

"Girl how can you afford all of this?" I asked her. "I know that tattoo shop don't pay much."

I would guess that King or Ace was giving her money, but she don't take money from them. They try and she just declines.

"I gotta side hustle. I do promotions on my Instagram." She said. "And I sell some stuff I don't wear or have worn already."

"Damn Girl." I was shocked. Guess K did teach her right.

She giggled. "Anyways. Laniiiiii!!" She semi yelled even though I was right next to her.

"Why you yelling? I'm right here."

"Because I can't buy you anything when your always watching me. And if I order it, it won't come in time." She explained.

"You don't have to buy me anything KiBabie." I told her.

"Yes I do. Your like stuck with me all the time and I know I'm annoying. And soon I'm get bigger and be even more annoying because Ima get more lazy than I already am." She said.

"Myra it's alright. You don't gotta get me anything." I said looking at a bad ass girl pass in front me and Myra.

"Fineee." She said eyeing me. "I seen you staring at that girl. You gon go get her number or something?"

"Nahh. I aint looking for no relationship or fuck buddy. I'm chillin." I said. "Plus if I do, she only gon complain about why I'm always with you. And I don't got time for that."

She just shook her head. "Aight Lani."

I don't know why she gave me that nickname. I hate when people call me that.

"Please stop calling me that Myra. You make me feel like a girl." I told her as we was now in Forever 21.

"Well what do you wan me to call you?"

"Jeilani." I stated.

"No. I'm not calling you that. Ima figure out what to call you." She said picking up a shirt that said 'Bitch I'm Bomb'.

"Alright Myra."

6:30p.m.

We was finally leaving the mall. I'm so fucking sick if this place. I really won't be coming here for at least a month. I have spent enough time in this damn mall.

Myra had a million bags with her. Not really but shit it looked like it. When we got to the car, I put the bags that I was holding down on the ground and opened the truck of my blue and white Dodge Challenger.

After we put the bags in, I got in the drivers side of the car and Ki'Myra got in the passenger side of the car. And we was heading home, until...

"I'm hungry Jeilani." Ki'Myra semi-whined.

"What do you wanna eat?" I asked.

"Um I don't know what I wanna eat." She said looking down for a moment. "Oooh I know. I wan some Tacos and stuff from Taco Bell." She looked up all happy.

"Okay." I said simply changing my lanes and heading the way to Taco Bell.

20 minutes later.

We in Taco Bell drive thru because I don't know.

"Wait. No I wanna go in." I looked at her like why she couldn't tell me that before.

Good thing nobody was behind us. I backed up a little and went all the way around and found a parking spot.

We got out the car and headed inside. When we reached the door. I got a call from K.

"Myra I got a call. Ima meet you in there." She nodded her head and continued in.

I still was watching her while I was on the phone with King.

"Wassup K." I said.

"Nothing. You still with Myra?" He asked.

"Yea nigga. Where else ima be?" I asked sarcastically.

"I don't know man, but look Myra needs to come home right na. Somebody wants to talk to her." He said into the phone.

I nodded as if he could see me. "Ight. We at Taco Bell. So we should be there in a minute."

"Ight" That's when I heard the dial tone.

I walked in Taco Bell and Myra was nowhere to be seen. I was just watching her. Where the hell did she go? Then I thought she in the bathroom.

I go knock on the ladies bathroom. "Myra you in there?" I asked. Then I heard someone groan in pain.

• Ki'Myra POV •
7:15p.m.

So I went inside Taco Bell because Lani had a call. From who? I don't know and don't really care to know that much.

When it was my turn to order. I felt like someone was staring at me but I know it was probably Lani, so I brushed it off.

"Hello. Welcome to Taco Bell. What would you like tonight?" The lady across from me asked.

"Um can I get 4 soft tacos, 2 bean burritos, 1 nacho fries, and a large Dr.Pepper." I said to the lady as she typed it all into the computer.

"Alright will that be all?" She asked.

"Um yes."

"Okay your total is $14.75." I nodded and handed her a 20 dollar bill.

"You can keep the change." She smiles and handed me my receipt with my number order.

I soon had to pee, so I go to the bathroom. I do my business and then wipe myself and then wash my hands. As I was finishing up, I heard the door open but I didn't think about it because it's the girls bathroom.

When I turned around to grab a napkin so I can dry my hands, I seen Kareem.

I am so tired of running into this dude. Like damn, I can't go nowhere.

"Hey pretty Myra. You miss me?" You could smell the alcohol on his breathe.

I just ignored him and walked passed him, then I felt a huge tug on my hair and I hit the ground hard.

The first thing that came to my mind was my baby, but then I realized I couldn't let him know that I was pregnant so I didn't put my hand on my stomach.

"Look bitch. You owe me some pussy and my money and you not going anywhere til I get some." He said as he bent down towards me.

Just all up in a bitch personal space.

"I don't owe you shit and I don't have your money. Why don't you just leave me the fuck alone?" I said backing up from him.

When I finally was far enough for me to get up, this nigga punched me in the face. That shit hurt like a bitch too.

I fell back a little but was able to keep my balance.

He then grabbed me by my neck and had me up against the wall. I didn't cry. I told y'all I was done crying. But I didn't fight back either. I couldn't. He was wayyy stronger than me.

Then I heard a knock on the door. It was Lani.

"Myra you in there?" He said.

So me being smart, I kicked Kareem in his private area. He groaned in pain really loud. He let me go and I kinda slowly fell to the ground. Tryna catch my breathe. Jeilani quickly rushed in the bathroom.

He checked on me first then went over to Kareem.

"Are you okay Myra?" He asked worried.

I could see the scared look in his eyes.

"I..I'm fine" I said getting my breathing back on track.

Kareem was still on the ground, aching in pain. I kicked him kinda hard. Hey he shouldn't be always having his legs open. That's his fault.

Haha legs open that's a good one. I'm so funny sometimes.

Jeilani then went up to him and was punching him over and over. I started to see blood, so I stopped Lani.

"Jeilani stop.!" I semi yelled but he ignored me.

He kept ignoring me.

"Jeilani!" I said for the fifth time.

There was only one thing I could do that I knew would get him to stop ignoring me. So I fell.

Okay I didn't really fall but Jeilani was so into it that he didn't know if it was real or not.

When he heard me hit the ground, he instantly turned around and ran towards me.

"I'm so sorry Myra. I should have been here. I should have neva let you come in here by yourself. I should have been watching you. I'm so sorry." I saw a little tear fall from his eyes.

"Jeilani. I'm fine. I just had to get you off of him. There is blood on your hands." I said pointing. He looked down and laughed.

This mutha fucker crazy.

"Wash your hands Lani. So we can get out of here." I told him and he nodded.

"But are you okay? Look at your eye. Man King gon kill me for this shit. And I was just on the phone with him." He said turning around to teach for the napkins.

"Don't worry. I will explain it. It's gonna be fine."

"Myra I will not leave your side again. Even if you going to the bathroom. I go where you go." He said

The whole time we have this conversation, Kareem is on the floor out cold.

"Alright can we go now. I'm still hungry." I said honestly.

Just as I walked out the lady behind the counter walked up to me. "There you are. I have been trying to find you for 7 minutes. Here is your food. Have a good night." She said walking off.

"You too. And Sorry." I kinda semi yelled.

We left out and went to Jeilani car. Then headed home this is gonna be a long night.

I know employees don't do that in real life in fast food places but this isn't real life, so whatever.
Sorry for any errors.
