They released me from jail the same night. Honestly they didn't even put me in jail I was just in a holding cell.

It's been about three days. I been staying at my apartment , haven't talked to Trent and I'm not planning to.

I was at my apartment just watching T.V when my phone rang. It was a unsaved number but I answered anyway.

"Hello" I answered.

"You busy"

I froze at the sound of his voice.

"Jay" I asked.

"Yeah, but Darrian gave me your address I'm about to pull up, come outside"

"Okay" I said then he hung up.

I got off the couch and made my way to the door but slipped my sandals before walking out the door.

I got to the lobby and went outside. A pair of headlights flashed. I walked over to the car growing nervous with every step I took.

"Hey" I said once I got into his car.

I looked over at him to see the biggest smile on his face causing me to smile big also. But his smile quickly faded.

"That nigga did that to your face" He asked getting serious.

I sighed remembering that I didn't cover up the bruise that was on my jaw from when he punched me.

"I heard about everything, sorry about the baby"

"Thanks I guess" I mumbled looking down at my fingers.

"You okay" He asked.

"Yeah" I nodded taking a deep breath sitting up straight.

"Sounds like you trynna convince your self more than me" He said not once taking his eyes off me.

"Why y'all start fighting anyways" He asked.

"I obviously ain't know that nigga like I thought I did" I answered truthfully.

"Why the fuck you allow your self to stoop that low Harmony" He started raising his voice.

"I don't know Jay, I don't fucking know" I yelled back. I covered my face as tears rolled down it.

He sighed leaning over hugging me. "You know if you need anything I'm here for you Harmony, no matter what"

I stopped my self from crying and wiped my face.

"I'm just a phone call away" He added.

"I appreciate it Jay" I nodded.

Honestly since everything happened my dad , brothers and sister were the only ones there for me, including Jayla and Kanani.

But Jay was the only one that I answered with my honest opinion and the only one I cried to.

"You know this is my first time crying about the situation" I chuckled.

"You was obviously holding it in, you needed to let that out ma. But besides that situation. How you been?" He asked.

"I was great" I answered honestly. "What about you"

"Been making it" He shrugged running his hand over his waves. "Got a lil Shorty on the way"

"Aww congratulations" I smiled.

"Thank ya" He chuckled.

"Can I ask you something" I asked looking out the window.

"Go ahead"

"Did I do something wrong" I asked looking at him.

"What you talking about Harmony"

"You stopped answering my calls, my text, declined my FaceTime calls and everything else, you promised that you would ride with me through the whole thing, you told me you loved me Jay"

"Honestly Harmony the long distant was just to much for me. I wanted to reach out to you a few months later but when I tried I kept getting sent to voicemail so I thought you ain't wanna fuck with a nigga no more"

I rolled my eyes looking out the front window. "Well I have to go, call me or something" I said and with that I got out the car walking back upstairs.

As I was walking down the hallway one of my neighbors opened her door.

"Hey Harmony" She greeted.

"Hey Stephanie"

Stephanie was a mixed girl, had wavy hair and was skinny.

"How you been girl" She asked walking back over to me after she slipped a envelope under somebody's door.

"Girl living" I answered with a chuckle.

"I know how that goes" She laughed. "You wanna kick it for a little bit, I just ordered a pizza"

At first I was gonna say no but I decided I needed to get my mind off things.

"Why not" I shrugged then followed her inside.

"You can get comfortable, I'll go get the plates and stuff"

I nodded taking a seat on her leather couch. She came back with the pizza, plates and two cans of 7 up.

"So you gone tell me what happened to your jaw" She asked once she sat down.

I mentally cursed myself out. "I was babysitting my niece and nephew and my nephew punch me good with the boxing gloves" I said letting out a slight chuckle.

"Kids so rough now a days" She laughed.

"Tell me about" I rolled my eyes looking away from her as I bit into my pizza.

I looked back over to her to see her dividing white powder into lines with a razor.

"What the hell Stephanie" I said looking at her all crazy.

"You wanna try" She asked.

"Hell no" I answered quickly.

"Stephanie I really hope your just playing and your about to tell me it's flower" I said dipping my finger in it and sniffed it to see if it was flour.

"What the hell" I said dropping the rest off my finger. I didn't mean for it to go up my nose and now there was a burn rushing through it.

"Good shit huh" She asked.

There was a weird feeling going through my head and I began to come light headed.

"You okay" She asked.

"No" I snapped "I just basically did crack and you think I'm okay" I stood up walking towards the door.

"You don't need to be doing that shit" And with that I walked out her house to mine.

I unlocked my door going back inside then locked it behind me.

"I need a blunt" I mumbled to myself going to my room. I went into my closet pulling down on of my many shoe boxes.

Going inside of my shoe I pulled out a already rolled blunt. Going to the living room I sat down by the balcony looking at the view.

I exhaled then inhaled the smoke as I looked out at the city lights.
