Chapter 4
Tilee's pov
I don't know why, but I found myself woken up at 7:45am, biting my nails. I know, it's a bad habit, but I can't stop it for some reason. I just remembered where I was staying at. I smiled at the thought as I got out of bed, still in my black dress. My Nail's looked damaged after my bad chewing habits. I sighed though, this month, I had to pay my bills, and I didn't have a lot of money, so I had to work overtime at my job. I hate bills so much, but at least I'm not in debt.
"Bye, Huey" I said, kissing his cheek as I walked off after, I wasn't really hungry, I just wanted to get home, and yes, I was going to walk home with heels on. On that thought, I was outside, met by the warm sunrays of Stupid crest. That's what I called it ever since I was a kid; I know we were in the outskirts of Woodcrest, but it felt weirder than living in the inner city itself.
I'm pretty sure Huey won't miss me too much; he and I have work anyway.
Huey's pov
I woke up to find Tilee wasn't with me. At first, started to panic, but then I figured she left for work, besides, she has a house of her own anyway. I got out of bed, not ready to go to work, but I had to, I had no choice. I worked at an African American studies class for a few years, but Riley begged me to work at his "Young Reezy" clothing line, I had no choice either. I either had the choice to work for Riley, or hear him ramble about it for years, I picked choice one. I hate hearing Riley's bickering and complaining.
No one's pov
While Huey went to work, there were two people talking in an ally not too far from Huey's apartment.
"How are we going to lower them?" the first person asked the second "I don't know, but I don't want to do this" The second person said.
"We have to, or our boss is going to be angry"
"B-But, I'm sure he didn't mean to do this to you"
"He did, and he's going to pay"
At Young reezy's headquarters
Huey's pov
I was kind of glad I made it early to work, because Riley would've been complaining the whole day hadn't I not made it to work on time "Nigga, there u r, u know moe people r buyin my stuff. Now get to work" Riley commanded. I just obeyed, because I really didn't want to do with his stupidity today, I had better stuff to apprehension about, and not hear the whining of my untrustworthy and doubtful Brother.
2:00pm
"Ok everybody, we gonna have breaks foe a few days, and remember ta sign the papea work foe this month" Riley announced for the hundredth time today "Ok ok, boss, we get it" One of the workers said "Don get smart-mouthed with me, Robin" Riley threatened.
I was just glad I was finally going to get out of this building. I was walking to my Dodge when I saw a familiar figure by it. I stepped closer to see…Jasmine. But she didn't even look like herself, one of her puffs was not in a ponytail, her eyes were darker green then they were before. Her clothes were tattered and torn. I had to admit, I was really frightened by the sight, "J-Jasmine?" I managed to speak out in complete shock. "Huey!" She embraced me in a sloppy, steady hug "I...I really need you! I-I was going to kill myself…for you!" She cried, tightening her grip on my torso. I managed to push her off me, leaving her to scowl so darkly, I thought I had died. "Jasmine… you're really scaring me" I gave in "B-Bastard, Bastard, Bastard, Bastard!" Jasmine repeated like a broken tape recorder. I thought this was just an illusion, so I blinked, but after I opened my eyes, she was face to face with me. I could feel the chills in my spine and chest "Huey, you told me that you loved me! You're a damn liar, and if I see you with anyone else…I'll…I'll…Never mind, turn around" Jasmine instructed me "Why do I have to-"
"TURN AROUND!" She repeated more harshly. I never saw Jasmine this scary looking before. I turned around. "You'll never see me again, now turn back around to me" Jasmine said. I turned around to see her gone. My breath started to calm down. "I-It was nothing" I kept telling myself as I got into my Dodge "Goin somewhere?" Someone in the back seat said. I jumped up and turned quickly around in that direction to see Riley "Riley, what the hell!? You scared the shit out of me!" I yelled "Don u remeba, you gave me a spare key foe yo car, in case if something happened ta mine" Riley shrugged like it was all good, but it was not all good. This is a calamity, I had to ask him this question "D-Did you see Jasmine and I talking when you were in here?" I inquired "Naw" Riley replied, that just sent more chills up my spine "You didn't?" I asked, fear written on my face "Yo Huey, man you aiight, I neva seen u this scared, EVER" Riley rubbed it in "I'm fine, just get out" I demanded. Riley got out of my car "Befoe I head out, remebea the papea's that I to-"
"Yeah yeah, the papers", I stopped him by turning the engine on "Aye if you wanna keep a paycheck, you best do wat I tell ya ta do, I ain't payin no lazy ass bums" Riley laughed "Riley,I got the damn papers, damn" I said, aggravated. "Bye man" Riley walked off as I backed up. "Don't think about, don't think about it" I turned on the radio to hear "Fight the power". I felt calmer now, just then, my phone rang. I picked it up to read "Unknown number". Guess what, I picked it up anyway.
"Hello?" I asked, as if I knew the person. I didn't get a response, instead, I heard heavy breathing "Hello…?" I repeated again, but more slow. I still heard breathing "HELLO!" I asked again. I just got annoyed and hanged up the phone, shaking my head "Stupid ass prank callers" I mumbled. The phone rang again this time the caller ID was "…." I looked down at, but I ignored it. Then somehow, it answered by itself. "HHHUUUEEEYYY" I heard a voice say. My eyes widened as I picked up the phone "W-W-What?" I managed to speak out. The voice was a deep, male voice. I didn't know who it was, so I hung up, muting my phone in the process.
I pulled up at the parking lot near my Apartment. I decided to sit in my car for a few minutes to clear my mind "What a weird day" I told myself, I hope the Government is not spying on me. I opened my glove compartment to get the mail I left there. I opened one envelope that contained the papers Riley keeps blabbing about. After I signed them out I put them back into the compartment. I got out the car and walked back to my house, sighing and thinking in deep thought.
"Huey" I heard someone say behind me "I turned around to see no one"
This is getting out of hand, I can't think with this. I got back inside my house, locked all my windows and doors and sat down in my dark shaded living room; the only light was the sun trying to get through my blinds.
I pretty sure the Government is spying on me.
