"Well by the face she's giving me, she already knows." I said. "Girl the fuck you mean you still like Liam? Look, I.know it's hard to get over him cause yall were so in love bur please you've been hurt enough. Shit I even pulled a Solange on him. Please. If not for you, for me then." Jade says placing her hands on my shoulders.

It was quiet between us, just then Drake had came into the room. "Hello ladies. Marii, can I speak to you for a minute." I then looked at Jade and she nodded her head. "Yes." I said as I followed him to wherever he was going.

Well wherever was outside. We sitting out at the balcony.

"Marii when the police has arrested um Liam, is there anything else he explained to you?" I then told him the full story.

"And that's all. He was gone." I say. He just nodded his head.

"Okay then, so it's only about my father. Okay thanks." He then fell quiet, thinking, I think.

I then called his name for some reason. He then answered. Shoot he answered. "Um. I need some advice alright. So theres a friend..."

"Wait hold up. You have Vannessa and Jade for the girly advice please." He said laughing.

"No wait. Its- one of them." Well what a way to lie of your two best friends.

"Okay what's up then?" He said settling down. "Um so they were dating some guy, right. And then they suddenly showed interest in an other because it seems like the other cares more about them then the other. The other can be quite narcissistic. Um but something happens where they suddenly feel still attracted to the first guy. Like what do you do at that point?"

He looks down for a while. He looks at me and says to just follow my heart. Well if it was that easy I would have done it. "Okay I can see that advice annoyed you. Okay." He said then crouched down in front of me. A felt a tingly feeling when he touched my thighs.

"Look. I need you to take your time. I know it's hard and I don't want to rush you into anything cause next thing you know you're regretting it. No matter the outcome, I still love you. Okay, now please don't beat yourself down, okay." He said as he kissed my temple and stood up.

"Wait. Its not me." I say defensively. "Really? "The other one is a bit narcissistic". Oh and your body language said it all." He said as he headed to the door.

"Look. All I want for you is to be happy. And if Liam makes you happy, then I support you all the way." He says with a smile. "Well I have to get back. You coming?" I just nodded my head and followed him back.

Oh gosh, what do I do now?

Two weeks have gone by and he's still in jail. Now I'm involved cause the man decided to put me in his alibi. How do you put someone who was kidnapped the whole time in your alibi.

Anyways today I get to visit Liam at the prison. That's going to be fun. Yeah right.

I wash up and get dressed for the day. I did my hair and makeup and looked extremely good.

I then looked in the mirror:

I then prepared Rose too cause she's coming to see her father too. I dressed her in Liams favourite thing for Rose to wear. Her teddy bear onesie.

After a while I got into the car and was driven to the prison. After a while we were inside, getting checked by the security. Even Roses' diaper was checked. Damn I wonder who brought drug by a babies diaper. I wouldn't risk it cause the things that come out of this baby. Oh hell nah.

We were then escorted to a room. There was no one there. I sat down on one of the chairs. I started playing with Rose, waiting for Liam.

Suddenly the door opened and in came Liam with a guard. Damn, he looked good in an orange jumpsuit. I stood up to hug him. I could see he was aiming to kiss my lips so I quickly turned my face for him to kiss the corner of my mouth.

He pulled back and just smirked. We then sat down opposite each other. "Hey, how are you?" He asked me. I then replied with I'm fine and just asked him back.

"I'm good. Oh would you look at that. My little Rosie." He said looking at Rose. "I dressed her in your favourite." I say. "I see." He says with a huge smile. He then looks past me and nods his head. The sound of the door opening and closing occurred.

I looked behind me to see the guard gone. I look back at Liam. "Are you serious? You have people working for you in prisons too?" I say a bit shocked. Well of course.

"Everywhere." He just simply said. "Hey look. I need you to lie a little bit at the trial." He says as he leans onto the table.

"A little bit? I'm basically lying a lot." I say whispering. "I know. They know you weren't at my house and they know you weren't at your old house. They checked in with the landlord. So before you were  on the streets my mom had settled you in an apartment-"

"No. I know where this is going no." I say. I definitely know what going to happen. Imma have to say I was there and then convince that motherfucker to lie too. I don't want to see him ever.

"What? Why?" I then told him everything. "Why didn't you tell me this?"

"Because you would've killed him and look now you need him." I say.

"Okay then. Please. Just this one time. I need you for this. Please. Drake will tell you everything you have to say, we will have every 'proof' ready. Then, wait come one Marii please." He says I look away.

"Look I know this is too much for you but please just do this once." He says.

"I can't. What if we get caught?" I ask in a whisper. "We won't." He says. Oh yes u should definitely trust that statement.

"I can't do jail." I said starting to cry. "Marii hey. Hey. Give me your hand." I then laid my free hand on his hand. He pulled it closer and kissed the back of it. "Would I ever lie to you?" I immediately pulled my hand away and looked at him funny.

"Are you seriously asking that. Wena userious (you serious)?" I then proceeded to kiss my teeth. "Okay would I ever lie to you in a serious situation like this. Please. Do this. If not for me then for Rose." I then look at Rose who was for some reason fascinated by the shiny table.

I look back at Liam and just nodded my head. "Fine, but I swear if I go to jail. I'm coming here to kill you myself." He just smiled and nodded.

"When I get out. I'll make up for the birthday trip we missed. As I told you they had froze all my assets. Okay." I just nodded in response.

The door then suddenly opens. "Sorry sir but your time is up." The guard from earlier says. He then makes his way to Liam and stands him up. I stand up to hug him for the last time. "Stay safe." I say and he kisses Rose on bothe her cheeks.

I then watched him disappear. I made my way back to the car and made my way home.
