dropped off, I will. Anyway, let me let you get back to your night. Hit me up tomorrow so that we can see about your car.” He said. This time, he walked off for good. I smiled, as I looked down at the card. That nigga had his own business; I could definitely fuck with it. I always wanted to start up a little hair boutique, but I didn’t know where to start, so for the time being, I was just filling online orders. There was just too many ways to be making money out here for me to be sitting around working for someone for the rest of my life. I wanted to be my own boss, but life wouldn’t let me be great. It seemed like the second I took one step forward, I was being knocked three steps back. I started my car and merged into the traffic. Jacob had called a few more times, and he also sent a text asking was I okay, but he wouldn’t be getting a reply from me.
As I pulled up in my apartment complex, true to her word, Daria was there waiting for me. She greeted me at the car door before I could even open it up. Daria was a handful in a half, but I loved my best friend dearly.
“What took you so long, and what the fuck happened to your car? That crazy ass nigga better not have done this dumb shit, and if he did, I swear to you, I’m about to go to that nigga’s house right now and bust a cap in his bitch ass.” She fussed. I had to laugh a little at her crazy ass. She didn’t give a damn when it came to me; she would always go to bat whether I was right or wrong. I know the reason that she asked that shit though, because Jacob had followed me all the way from work once trying to get me to talk to him. We almost caused about two accidents that day; just thinking about it had me shaking my head. Of course, I had to leave that job as well. I had to switch up my entire routine, because I couldn’t trust him.
“Nah, girl. I was on the phone arguing with that fool, and I wasn’t paying attention to the road, and I ran into the back of this guy. He was nice though; he didn’t even take my insurance policy. He actually told me to bring my car to the shop he goes to tomorrow so we can have it fixed, so I don’t have to pay my deductible or have my insurance going up on me.” I said, as we walked up the stairs to my apartment.
“Aww, that was nice of..” but her words trailed off as we walked up to the door and saw Lisa standing there crying. Welp, there goes my nice peaceful night , I thought, as I opened the door for them all to come in.

Chapter 6
Lisa
I should’ve taken Renee’s advice this morning, but of course, I didn’t. I was in beast mode ready for whatever. Renee was like the little sister I never had, and she may not have known it, but I really admired her. My situation was hella crazy, and never once did she judge me; she always kept it real, but when that nigga Wyatt told me he was on his way with his bitch, I couldn’t think straight. I really didn’t play those types of games, and he knew that shit. I was really getting burnt out though, I didn’t have much fight left in me, and that was real.
I had fought so many bitches that it wasn’t even funny. I had been locked up for domestic violence charges so many times, and so had he. I guess it was whoever called the cops first and let the best person win. Wyatt and I had been together since ninth grade, and he was honestly all I knew, but I couldn’t keep this shit up with him. Two kids and fifteen years later, this shit was getting old. I was sick of fighting his bitches, only for him to keep disrespecting me, but every time I tried to leave, he would beg and plead for me to stay saying that he was done playing only to play a few months
