Mel-
I was taken a back by his request.
was it worth it? could I actually do that?

"i-i-dont know d" I said putting my head down and looking out the window tears forming in my eyes.
I wouldn't expect anyone to understand my reasoning behind not talking.

People saw it as stupid or me wanting attention. but it wasn't.
I saw my whole family shot dead in front of me all because I couldn't stay put and quiet.

But after tonight I feel like it's time I just let that all go.

My therapist once told my brothers because of the trauma that event held, it would sadly take another traumatic event to counteract that event and get me to break my mutism completely. 


"Why?" he said lowly his gaze burning into the side of my face 

"You wouldn't understand" I mumbled back my head racing

He just put his hands on the wheel letting out a deep breath. 

His head rested on the headrest.

"You hungry melody?"

I was taken aback by the fact that he knew my name. When did someone tell him? 

More so importantly why did he not just call me ma like normal?

I've grown used to him referring to me as that, my name sounded like a different language coming from his mouth. 

"No" 

"Ight then, head in the house imma send someone over here to watch over the house" 

"You're not staying?" I looked back at him

Was he mad with me?

"I got business I gotta handle" he wiped his hand down his face 

"Business like with that guy?" 

"Yeah" he said fetching his phone from his pocket 

"Trey said they are on the way home so you be straight" 

He tossed his phone in the middle console then he unlocked the doors for me

"What are you going to do to him?" I raised my eyebrow in fear of the guy

"Don't worry about that princess, imma hit you later though" 

His eyes looked at mine and his gaze softened 

"okay" I responded shortly opening my door.

To my surprise, he opened his door as well.

We walked up the pavement towards my house my mind everywhere but in the moment.

We reached my door and I unlocked it with my key. 

"Hit me if you need anything ight ma"

"Dont hurt him please"
