TWO WEEKS LATER
There was something about he air, it was clearer and the pillows were softer and life, was soon, easier.
I felt a palm clenched around mine as i slowly parted my eyes, to see Aaliyah, seated in a chair beside me.
"Hello-" She greeted before brushing my hair behind my ears and a smile crept to my lips as i turned.
I t was always weird to see her without her hijab but that wasn't the only thing different, i looked around
-and i was home.
"You sleep like a log-" She teased as i managed to regulate my thumping heart beat while i sat up.
"It's okay now. You're home now" She whispered.
"They have Albert in custody and he's confessed to all of it-" "Well, Paul first did it" Jacqueline added as she flashed a smile before w

WUI put up my grey hoodie that managed to shield a side of my face as i also pocketed my gloved hands.I took in a deep breath before crossing over the road and towards a fence with a metal gate from which was guarded by a black American with tattoos imprinted all over his face.He adjusted on sighting me, in a way that pushed forward his broadened muscled chest before he cleared his throat. I just stood there before he spoke."What do you want?" His words came masked in both this pungent cigarette smell and his thick African accent and then i snapped out of all the thinking."Hey. Wu" It took a while to realize how effeminate my voice compared to his and he looked around."I came alone. I need to see blackeye" I said before suddenly a piece of clothe enveloped my sight and then my face as I felt my legs being f

WUThe car pulled over as i looked to the address on that paper in my scribbled handwriting and taking in a deep sigh, i slowly stepped unto the concrete pavement-taking a moment to admire the even lawns and all the flowers on the porch and then around the serene environment before i walked to the door.I fidgeted around the steps, knowing that entering that door, was in some way going to change my life, if at least she could at least piece together for me.And then in a swift fashion i knocked on the door before turning around,-and if i had kept on walking before she came through the door, i don't think i would have ever gotten the answers i sought."Hey" Her voice called, steps away as i turned around the woman that stood on her porch. "Joanne?"She hesitantly nodded, closing the door behind as she arched her brows. "I alread

"Aaliyah, what are you doi-" I sighed."No. Please. Listen to me. I was wrong to leave earlier because we're friends-" I said, stepping close enough to see her signature eye roll. "Apparently, friends that betray each other-" She muttered under her breath."No. We're sisters and I can see that you're hurting and you're not angry with me, Wu" I literally pointed out."I'm not going to leave no matter how pissed or angry you are. After all, i got my fair share of incarceration. I had to live with the guilt of what i had done" I added."And yet, all i held unto

MARIAStrapping the last lace around my shoes, i looked into Tessa's green eyes before she hopped out from the back of the van--leaving us to trek a distance towards the building."Approach with caution, two men approaching from the back exit of the building-" The connecting ear pods rang in my ears the sound of Frederick's voice.And i looked to Tessa for a second time before halting beneath the fence. "Be relaxed, they can smell fear-""Yo. Private property. Night club's not open till nine-" A man with boldened tattoos on his face approached us, leaving me to unconsciously step back."No. I need drugs" Tessa whispered, under her breath and he scoffed loudly. "What?" He asked."I know about the drugs. I'm a dealer" She added, leaving him slightly threatened with this information as he looked to one of th

JACQUELINEIt wasn't long since i had seen Wu like this, in bed and her arms beside her with her eyes closed-that was until she did open her eyes and was sucked back into this reality and i just smiled to her."Jacqueline" She called and i nodded, taking her hand into mine as i nodded. "Where's Maria?" She asked."I'm right here" Maria stood from the chair before she walked to the other side of her bed. "And Aaliyah?"I shook my head as i look to her text on my phone.Aal: I'm sorry. Still waiting on Albert to speak.I sighed, knowing how much Wu wanted her, especially her to be here when she did wake up."Did they catch him? Black-eye?" She turned to Maria before looking to the few agents that still loitered around her room, waiting for her statement.And i nodded, looking to the news o

WUTWO MONTHS LATER"Has the jury reached a verdict?" The judge asked as he turned to the segregated stands from which a suited woman stood, before handing him few papers."Yes, your honor-" She said with a quiet nod before taking her seat while the judge scanned the papers he held in his hands and then he turned. "Please stand-"He nodded to the defendant. Paul--who stood so closely to his lawyer whilst awaiting the ultimate judgment with shaky palms.Yet somehow it didn't feel like the justice we wanted, because as crazy as it sounded, Albert didn't deserve an easy way out. He deserved to suffer--like he made her to. Shoving a knife into her and tossing her over a balcony to land on cold concrete.Watching her take her last painful breath. He deserved worse.

Jacqueline had her legs up in the air as Harry squeezed her palms tightly. She couldn't believe she was here, doing this again."Push" The nurse yelled into her ears as she felt hands running down her thighs. "You're contracting, baby's coming out soon" You could hear the sound of her hands against the gloves.Jacqueline's head was tilted and her eyes faced the ceiling, refusing to look at Harry who was barely holding himself together in his blue scrubs and the napkin he had against her sweaty forehead.She was weak, feeble as if it were her first time. She couldn't believe she'd have another this soon, and all she could hear was the sound of their voices the night they talked about it.NINE MONTHS AGOThere was still a box lying on the kitchen counter.

You could hear his brief chuckles and my loud giggles as i almost tripped.He halted to catch me in his hands. His arms wrapped around me as the winds breezed into my face, swaying my hair to the sides. I wore a smile on my face as it all moved slowly——i was here, not mentally but in this exact moment. Physically, in a short white dress and a veil that had fallen along the aisle. And i wanted to stay here. I wanted to always be here.He gripped me a little hard that it began to tickle and i pushed him away to the ground before making a run for it. I ran towards where the sun was setting and where i could still see Maria and the other people and the wedding canopy that we had set.Just a few of us, family. That had always been here for the big and small moment

WUI had always wanted to bring her flowers, but not like this, not at her grave. It was shimmering with snow that dropped to the ground.And my boots were buried in it whilst i stared at the red flower i had dropped it. I looked to the chair that was beside, snow on the seats before i sat in. My gloved hands wrapped my elbows as i moved my head warmer. Each breath i took gave accompanied with a chill. It was freezing out here.But i didn’t care. I just wanted to see her.“Anyways Fox is going to spend time. Life probably, i just don’t want to know or get myself involved in anything like that” I said, as if we had been talking for a long time. Silence dawned as i looked to the gatekeeper. He was already used to me coming here since the past few months and talking to a corpse. I wasn’t crazy, he knew it.He would often say how i wasn’t the only person that came here to do it. The truth is,

JACQUELINETWO MONTHS LATER"The loss of a someone close to us is perhaps one of the deepest and most sensitive we will ever come to experience. It can be difficult to process these emotions and work through the stages of grief" I had started out, calm as if i’d gotten my emotions in check. You could hardly believe that i was the same one that broke out in tears a while ago.I cleared my throat, staring Wu in the eyes, who had nodded to give me a sort of encouragement. I then breathed heavily before i carried on."To say Aaliyah was selfless would be an understatement— She was more and to a lot of us, even more. She tried her best to brighten our lives even when she was living in the dark" I paused.I had read all the articles to prevent me from crying when i passed the eulogy. I had read about remembering to breathe, eating befo

WUEverywhere was silent, the door had finally stopped swinging as the nurse went back out. The same nurse that had wheeled me in. I sat in my chair in front of the bed in which she was laid open.The nurse had raised the sheets over her head but i was sure that she was listening. I had hoped that she was listening.Jade.Tears overwhelmed my eyes before they fell down my cheeks. The tears that were more than enough to ache the throat and make the voice disappear. I searched for the words to say as i finally saw her unconscious body, laying across the bed. I didn’t know it was going to be this hard to do this.“J—” I couldn’t get passed the first letter of her name as my voice quivered. I was shaking, as i buried my face into the tissue in my hands. I snorted in it before heaving in a deep breath.“Hey Jade” I broke into uncontrollabl

AALIYAHEverything had changed. With my parents by my left and Dele sitting close to me on the hospital bed. I could hear my slow groans as i was intubated.But alas, my eyes were open and i could see Leila walking slowly towards me with Wu beside her and the only question asides who wouldn't have thought——Was the inevitable one of whether or not i was willing to let go. But the choice was not up to me.If not, maybe i would have chosen to stay and then my eyes fell her. With whom i shared so much of a striking resemblance with. Who would've thought?My own sister, Ayeesha.-There was a light that flashed behind my eyes. The light, before my eyes shut wide open. Dele was beside me and Diane, and Wu.“I’m so glad you’re awake” Dele said, clenching my p

JACQUELINEAaliyah walked towards the door, twisting the knob to slide the lock out of place. I could see her shadows from beneath her door. It had approached after knowing merely twice. And then the door swung open to reveal her in an apron——and a half wide smile. “Jacqueline, now what are you doing here?” She asked, sticking the tips of her fingers into her mouth. “I just came to see you” I replied as i walked in, closing the door behind me.NOWI walked in, brushing shoulders with the sheriff that was just about to take his leave from Wu’s room. I trailed him with the corner of my eyes as the door closed behind him. They were scattered around the halls i had noticed. And Wu was seated up, against her pillow which was against the wall.She looked better.She was better. She had a bandage wrapped around her left wrist and one around
