~TJ~
The pain she is going through is something I can't imagine. I didn't want her to stay there, at that house for long that night so I decided to take her home.
She sobbed the whole way, what else is there for her to do?
When we got home I opened the door and reached for her hand but she tugged it away and looked at me, her eyes were red and puffy, whole face drenched in tears.
Despite her struggles I pulled her close and picked her up, carrying her inside and into the room.
"Do you want me to sleep in the other room?" I asked. I didn't know if she needed space or not. "Yeah" she said pulling herself under the covers.
~Monica~
Andre, my father, who do I have left? I have no more family.
I sobbed an cried the rest of the night, it was like everything had hit me again along with my fathers death that night. All at once, I could feel my brothers dying hand in mine, I could feel myself getting brutalized and raped, I see my fathers lifeless body but then I could feel TJ's warm hand hold mine.
The image, of the blood on his shirt, the sheets. The sight of a hole in your own fathers skull, a gun resting in his hands. How can I handle this. I don't think I can.
The pain of loosing the two people you loved the most, was a pain I would wish on nobody.
Surprisingly I soon fell asleep.
~TJ~
I woke up to a painful piercing scream and jumped up immediately. I ran into the too to find Monica with her eyes squeezed shut, sweating and scared.
I went down to grab her and hold her.
"It's okay baby"
"I'm here"
"you aren't alone baby"
I whispered into her ear until she gradually stopped shaking.
"I don't care what I say, TJ, don't leave me alone." She said still trying to catch her breath.
I got in next to her and got under the covers pulling her into my chest.
I love her.
After she fell asleep I went on my phone and checked my bank balance.
Paying the bills for this house wasn't easy when you aren't hustling as much anymore.
As much as I didn't want to, I needed money in the bank. What was I gunna do?
