ฯ Ki'Myra POV ฯ

Friday; Oct. 18th, 4:30pm

Today I went to work because I didnt have anything else to do. And to my surprise my co-workers were talking to me and I actually talked back. I never talk to my co-workers. I dont know why, but I have been extremely happy since Tuesday. Like a big relief was lifted from my chest after me and Jailen broke up.

I dont wanna say it was him making me no wanna be around and or talk to people because it wasnt, but I felt that when I was with him. I couldnt be myself. I am naturally a goofy and happy person and I was that way when me and Jailen first started going out, but when I met Ace. It kinda all fell and I felt unhappy to just be around me or talk to him. Which soon turned into me not wanting to talk to anyone because I didnt trust anyone.

I know I said that before I didnt trust anyone, but really before I got a little older. I did trust people and deep down I still kinda do. But I keep my guard up at all times because even though I havent really been hurt besides by my always drunk angry bitter mother I just wanna make sure I cant get hurt. But today I decided to talk to people and kinda let my guard down a little.

One of the tattoo artist that work there Nikkia walked over to me and asked me what was up. Nikkia was a 4'11 slim thick brownskin girl with a sleeve tattoo and a chest tattoo. She was so adorable and sweet but could always switch up out of no where, so I never really talked to her but yall know today Im being nice so I asked her what she meant. I knew what she meant but I like to mess with people sometimes.

"Girl you know what I mean. You talking and being nice to people. You never do that. Whats up with you?" Nik asked so curious as to why I was acting that way.

"To be honest with you. I just feel good. Like a weight has been lifted off me. And Im deciding to lower my guard a little. A bitch need some friends because I be bored." I said honestly.

She looked at me for a while then said "Bitch me too. And people always like to say Im mean but I really dont be wanting to be bothered."

"Same!" I said giving her the same energy. We both laughed. We then proceeded to talk more and stuff. Soon we had to get back to work because it was starting to turn into rush hour. On Friday's the shop seems to be packed. I dont know why Im surprised all the time, especially since I make the schedules and shit.

9:00 pm

I got off work early since since there was no more customers coming into the shop. I grabbed my bag from under the desk and walked towards the door to clock out. When I reached the door I realise I forgot my charger, so I turned around and went get it. When I got my charger I turned and bumped into someone. The built of the person felt familiar but i was unsure til I backed up and seen who it was. It was my boss Maleek. Maleek was built strong like a football player,but he had the height of a basketball player. He was 6'0 with dreads. He had tattoos ranning up and down his body.

Anyways I said I was sorry that then walked around him to leave and yet again when I got to the door, something stopped me. Maleek called me back over to him and since he was my boss. I did as I was told. I walked up to him and said "whats up?" He wan say some shit talking bout how he feeling me and shit. And he been feeling me since I started working here a year ago but I was 17 then and all that other shit. Im just standing there taking it all in as he reaches to the end of his sentence I start to speak but before I knew it he kissed me. I was in shock at first but then I kissed him back and then I realized what I was doing so I broke it. I told him I had to go and speed walked my ass right out the shop and into my car.

I sat in my car for about 2 minuted just thinking.

Why would he kiss me? Why did I kiss him back? Did I like him too for some odd reason? How is he just saying all dis now? I have been 18 for almost 7 months and he knows that because some of the people in the shop brought me gifts.

When my inner thoughts started to fade out. I started my car and drove off. I was going to Ace's house since I sleep over there on the weekends. When I finally got to Ace house I put my car in park and seen he had all the lights off. I also noticed that his car wasnt in the driveway all of a sudden. So I texted him. He said he was on his way just stay there. I read it but didnt reply. I played some games on my phone for a while and watched Netflix on my phone. After about 2 hours of waiting. I texted Ace back and said I was going home. He didnt text me back so I just thought he was busy.

I started up my car and put in it reverse. I back out his driveway and then put my car in drive and drove off. I didnt know where to go really. On the weekends I would stay by Ace because my mom always had her boyfriend over and I aint like the vibe he gave off to me snd ge would flirt with me when my mom wasnt around. I felt unformable being at home when he was there. I couldnt go to my brothers place because he wasnt home and I didnt have a extra key. So i drove around for a while when all of a sudden I felt sick but I shrugged it off.

I stopped at Wendy's because I was hungry. It was now 1am. I didnt know why I was up this late getting Wendy's but for some reason I just shrugged it off. I decided to finally go home since I had nothing else to do. When I pulled into my driveway. I seen my moms car. I guess she didn't have him over this weekend. I walked into the house with my Wendy's and went upstairs to my room. I sat up on my bed and ate while watching Lucifer on Netflix.

Saturday Morning, 11:35am

I dont remember when I fell asleep last night but I woke up in my bathroom in the tub completely naked. Getting out of the tub and grabbing some clothes. I also bryshed my teeth and washed my face. I grabbed my phone from the bathroom counter seeing that I had 15 missed calls from Stori. 14 missed calls from Ace. 5 missed calls from King. And 2 missed calls from Maleek (my boss). I also had 30 messages from Stori. 20 messages from Ace. And 1 message from King. I texted back King.

Big Bro K💞
Hey sis. Sorry I wasnt
home for you last night.
I buisness to tend too.
You can come over now
if you wan.
11:45am

I texted him back and said "Alright. I'll be there in an hour."

After I sent that. Someone walked into my room. I called out thinking it was my mom "Ma! Is that you.?" Nobody answered. I called again but same thing. Since I was dressed. I walked out my bathroom. I was wearing a split colored sundress that showed my curves. Anyways when I walked out I seen my mom's boyfriend standing there. He was licking his lips looking at me, making me feel uncomfortable.

"Where you going lil girl?" He asked stepping closer to me as I stepped back.

I ignored him and went grab my gold sandals. And black fanny pack.

"I know you heard me girl. Where the fuck you going!? Especially in that shit." He grabbed my arm.

I snatched my arm away and finish getting my phone charger, air pods, and keys. When I walked towards my door to leave. He ran towards me and trapped me in a corner.

"What the fuck is wrong with you.! Move man." I said getting annoyed with him. He was all in my face. You could smell the alcohol on his breathe.

"Come on na babygirl. Why you being like that? You was all happy to see me last night." He moved my hair behind my ear.

I thought back to earlier this morning when I woke up in the tub fully naked.

Did I do something with him last night? Ewww thats nasty. I couldnt have. I dont even like to be in the room breathing air as him. Nah I know I didnt do anything with this creep.

"Nigga what are you talking bout. I would never. Back the fuck up before I get mad na."

"You gon treat daddy like that. You dont remember the time we had last time." He started going under my sundress. I slapped away his hand. "Dont slap me away lil bitch."

I know this nigga didnt just call me a bitch. I punched him in his gut and tried to ran but he grabbed me. He punched me in my face over and over. I pinned me to the wall and tried to raise up my dress but I didnt let him. So he hit me over and over again. I pushed him off me and punched him in his face and kicked him in his manhood or should I say lil boyhood. And ran out my room and down the stairs and outside. I heard him coming after me so I tried to rush and hurry and open up my car. When I finally did. It was just in time.

He banged on my car door til I drove off. When I was far enough. I pulled over and looked at myself in my car mirror. My right eye was black and I had a scratch on the side of my face. I looked at my arm and there was a big bruise. I started to feel wetness on my face. I looked in the mirror to see I was crying. I havent cried in years. I wiped my eyes and drove to my brother house.

1: 00 pm

When I got to my brother house. I got out and walked to his door. Finally after i was knocking for like ever. Ge answered the door. At least I thought it was him. When the door open I seen Ace. I immediately put my head down. He picked my head up and asked me what happened. I didnt look at him. I just walked right past him and went find my brother.

"Myra you just not gon tell me what happened?" Ace asked closing my brothers front door and following me.

I didnt answer him. I didnt wan to tell him. It wasnt because of how he might see me. It was because I knew Ace. If I told him, he would get extremely pissed and go on a rampage. So I lied.

"I got jumped. Thats all. Nothing serious. I handled my shit though." I laughed a little to sell it.

He came closer to me and grabbed my face and I tried my hardest not to tense up. He looked me in my eyes and asked me "Is this the truth?" I swallowed so hard and told him.

"Yes it's the truth. Man get off me." I moved from by him. "Where my brother at?" I asked.

"He went out for a quick second."

"Oh. Why you here?" I asked finally getting out of my head bout earlier.

"I was pulling up to get something from him and he said he had to do something but you was coming in a few minutes. So he told me to wait here for you, so you didnt have to wait outside."

"Oh." I didnt really wanna talk to him anymore. I walked to my room I say my room because I have my own room in his house.

Ace follows me down the hall to my room.

"So whats up? What you wanna do babygirl?" Ace ask now sitting on my bed.

"Sleep. Im tired." I have been tired alot but then again. Im always tired so I dont really faze it.

Ace said alright and took his shirt and shoes off. He climbed in the bed and laid down. I took my sandals and fanny pack off and climb in bed by him. I cuddled up with him while I laid on his chest. He pulled the smaller blanket on my bed over us and then kissed my forehead. I soon fell asleep.
