Trey leaned back on the trunk of his car, in the abandoned parking lot under the busy highway, scanning the area. He was told to wait for a grey 1991 Honda Civic.
He kept his gun hidden from view but at his waist just in case the situation could go wrong. Trey made sure to keep his guard up when the car pulled up in front of him. Two men were in the car but only the one sitting in the passenger seat came out.
The man was only a tad bit taller than trey, with his blonde hair slicked back which seemed like everyday it might've taken hours to do, he had moles everywhere on his face that were all different sizes. He looked tired and his saggy face made it worse, his hands were ashy and when he moved his thin fingers it sounded like sandpaper rubbing against each other.
"Where's Cash?" Trey asked, raising his eyebrows.
"He's busy dealing with shit in Maryland. So for now whatever busy you need to handle with him, I'll be taking over."
Even though Trey felt uneasy about it, he turned his back and opened the trunk that revealed the duffel bag of money. Pulling out the heavy bag he handed it to the man and glared at him. "Cash has his money so let him know to keep my sister out of it. She doesn't have anything to do with this." Trey demanded then turned around to get into his car. The man wrapped his rough hand around Trey's arm.
"It doesn't work like that with Cash nigga, you still owe him some favors." The man hissed as Trey broke free of his grip and glared back at him, before getting into his car.
He watched the man get back into his car and drive off. Anger entered his body causing Trey to bang his hand on the steering wheel. Everything he did these past few weeks were to pay off Cash and keep Nyla out of danger.
Now he wasn't sure what was going to happen, but he knew if something happened to his sister it was all his fault.

Monte's Pov
Tampa, Florida ✈️
That same day, 11:22 PM🕰️
Monte sat on his couch, snacking on the chips in the bowl while BoJack Horseman played, on his living room TV. Just a few minutes ago Monte had finished packing his bags for his trip to Houston, Texas. Monte was making his way there fact he was invited to a pop-up shop at a festival, and he was considering buying a shop there too.
In Florida he was known for his work, Monte was one of the best tattoo artists in his city. Probably the best if we're being honest.
But since he had reached the maximum amount of fame in his opinion, Monte felt like it was time to move around a bit, and with Houston and Atlanta, being popular cities along with others, Monte made up his mind to open shops there.
That had been a dream for him since the tender age of eight.
Unfortunately, Monte's fantasy was cut short when he was brought back to reality because someone started to bang on his door and ring his bell aggressively. He paused the show right as it started to get good and slipped his black Crocs on, chugging down the last of his chips, before peaking out the window to only see her.
Her as in Lola.
He hesitated on opening the door for her, guessing that she already knew he was home because his car was parked in the driveway. The more he waited to open the door the louder she got, her attitude made it seem like she was drunk or high off something.
"Monte, open the door! I know that you're in there, I see the car and tv playing through the window." Lola shouted as she banged one last time on the door, then made her way to his window which she used to lean back on for support.
Even though it felt off to let her in, Monte disregarded his gut feeling and opened the door up for her.
"Why are you here?! I thought I told you to not come back over here." Monte demanded to know from her. She strolled into the house and attempted to make her way past him, but instead was yanked back by her arm from his couch as he still kept a grip on her. Lola instantly scrunched her face up, "What you mean nigga? I just came home because I missed you, and because my momma won't let me in her house.." She mumbled the last part of her sentence.
Annoyance fully took over Monte's body. He hated how she only came around when she needed something, it was never genuine with Lola. The last time she crashed at his place was when she was denied access at their local shelter, and when her mother- Jill did the same thing. At the time, Monte was so anguished for her love so he let her in again, but ended up getting hurt in the process.
"You can't stay here Lola. Get the fuck out and don't come back, you ain't welcomed here." He uttered under his breath. It didn't take even a minute for her tears and sniffles to start. Before Monte knew it, Lola was practically beseeching him.
He looked down at the floor, not trying to even glance at her knowing he would feel bad and go back on his words.
"You fuckin' on someone else, huh? That's why you tryna kick me to the curb! Last week you were all up on my phone, just because some heffa let you hit doesn't mean you come back tryna play me like ima hoe!" Lola cried and cornered him.
Monte leaned back on the wall, letting everything Lola was raving about go in one ear and out the other now. He was starting to get aggravated with her, thoughts of turning to violence fueled his already troubled mind.
"Helloooo are you even listening to me?!" Lola asked as she snapped her fingers in his face, and waved her hands.
"I'm not gonna keep explaining myself to you, me and you ain't together nomo. So whatever I do with my body is my business, don't come up in my face tryna question me." Monte scolded her, grabbing a hold of her hands aggressively to let her know he was serious.
Once again he advised her to move out of his face and leave, but Lola refused. Monte knew that she was attempting to push him over his limit, and he was falling for her trap. The thing was that tonight would turn into something they both didn't expect.
Monte pushed her out the way and unlocked his front door, in a last chance to get her out of his house but Lola used all her force to shut it. A stinging sensation hit Monte's left cheek, which had came from Lola who slapped him to escape his grasp. They both stood there stunned at what she done. It was out of character for her but Monte had not expected that during that specific moment.
He held his cheek and scrunched his face up at her in disgust. "I was tryna keep my cool with you, but fuck it!" Monte raved aggressively pushing her on the ground, he had finally reached his breaking point with her.
"GET THE FUCK OFF OF ME!" A sobbing Lola screeched in a struggle with Monte, as they both tussled trying to gain control with each other on the cold hardwood floor. In the moment, Monte was seeing red not being able to control himself, it felt as if someone else had taken control over his body.
It became quite obvious on who was winning the dual, which gave Monte a thought. He could be free of his six years of what felt like hell if he did it, also knowing if he stopped now she would run to the police. They would believe her story over his any day. Who would believe the guy with Schizophrenia and BPD(Borderline Personality Disorder).
Monte wrapped his arms around her throat and tightened his grip every second. He listened to the sound of her struggling to breathe, it made a smirk grow on his face.
Soon the struggle between the two of them stop. The room went quiet, so quiet you could hear a pen drop. Lola's grasp loosened and her hands dropped. Monte stopped what he was doing once he came back to his senses, it was too late.
She was gone; her eyes were lifeless, a limp body, cold aura, no heartbeat or pulse was felt either. Tears instantly fell down Monte's cheeks when he realized what he had just done, "Lola? Lola stop playin! You're not funny..wake up! Lola?!" He bawled, shaking her lifeless body aggressively.
He pulled her close to his chest, slowing rocking back and forth with her in his arms.
What had he done?
