F**k this! I wasn't going out like this. They wanted a fool, I was going to give it to them. I tied my wig in a bun and covered it with a bonnet and sent a text to Courtney.

"Hey. I think I've made a huge mistake. Can't talk but you're not safe."

I went inside my house and took the bonnet off and called Frank, hoping to do damage control. He didn't answer. He was onto me. I got a text and put my hair back into the bonnet before opening it. It was Courtney.

"He's following us. Leave your house immediately. Keith is going to kill you tonight if you don't leave now. We're sending backup to you."

I couldn't move. I had to think fast. I grabbed my keys and headed to the door. I couldn't get out. I pulled at the door and it wouldn't budge.
"What the f**k?" I cried.

"Going somewhere?" It was Amanda.

"Amanda, what are you doing?"

"Amanda, what are you doing?" She mimicked me in a whining voice.
"You're always crying, Dee."

"Amanda, you were my best friend."

"Shut up. I've never really liked you. Never saw what Keith wanted with you. You're just a waste."

"Amanda, are you serious?"

She walked up to me, looked at me and said "this is how serious I am."

She spit in my face.
