Sitting in the waiting room, I waited for them to tell us something... Anything. We've been here for over three hours. Rihmeek was doing a good job of keeping me company but I haven't said a word since we left the back of the ambulance.

When it comes to situations like this... I don't cry. Like, not one tear fall. It's not because I don't care, I think it's because I care a lot.

Sometimes I get so sad.

So sad in fact I completely shut down. I stare blankly at a wall and it doesn't matter what you say to me
Because in that moment I don't exist.

"Your stomach still acting up?" He asked me and pulled me onto his lap

I only nodded. "Gimme kiss." He spoke while rubbing my stomach.

Staring down in his eyes, he looked deep into my eyes and his eyes dropped to my lips. Leaning in I placed a long kiss onto his plump lips.

"You took the pill?" He asked once I pulled away from the kiss

"Yeah." I sighed "I took it but... I don't know, Rihmeek." I said not knowing what to say

I got out of his lap and his face frowned up. "I just don't feel comfortable sitting on your lap." I said, nonchalantly

"You don't feel comfortable sitting on yo man's lap... For some shit that happens to all girls?"

"Bring yo fine ass here, girl." I was now back on his lap. "Stop playing with me." He nibbled on my ear maiking me laugh.

"How are you?" Ms.Kathy asked me once she walked into the waiting room.

"I'm Depressed, breaking down, sad, suspicious, empty, shaky, stressed, scared." I cleared my throat...

"I'm fine." I said instead.

Sending her a reassuring smile, she rubbed my back and kissed my forehead.

They said the fire was started by Robert pouring gasoline on the bed while my mother was sleeping. Then set the dire after locking her in the room.....I needed him dead!

What I heard so far is that My mom and him got Into a big argument after caiah and I left and the nigga got mad about her bringing up the divorce papers and did something only a crack head would do.

"Success is the best revenge for anything." My mother said seeing how quiet I was.

I only sighed.

Only the master bedroom was burned. Luckily they stopped it before it spread everywhere. My mom said we'll stay at my aunt's until they're done working on the house.

"You good, Nika?" Na asked rubbing my back. I sighed heavily and nodded.

"It just hurts. A lot..." I sighed "like why would he even do that? I want to kill his ole ugly ass. But, Rihmeek wants to be mean and tell me no." I pouted and she laughed

"He don't want your small self out here being a mean midget." She ran her hands through my hair and I giggled with an eye roll.

"Heyyy!!!" I heard nun other than Hailey's voice come through the house.

"Why are you always here?" Na asked with a confused look.

"Girl because I cannnn... And ya mom and my uncle go together Soooo..."

"Soooo... That don't give you a reason to be here, and stop going around school telling people we stepsisters because we're not." Na said to her

"Yes we are!" Hailey said back
