“Can I be honest with you? I see why you were in the hospital with me; you just as crazy as I am.”
Her comment pissed me off so bad, but I stayed quiet and the next exit I saw I took it and got out the car.
“Why are we stopping?” she asked, rolling down her window.
“You know what, you been asking a whole lot of questions lately; things you shouldn't even have any concerns about. You a snitch or something? Do I have a damn narc with me?” I said, finding myself pacing back to the car.
“No,” she said, taking the napkin off her nose. “Understand this, love has no boundaries and just because someone acts a certain way, doesn't mean they mean it!”
Skittles was stupid or even played crazy, but not at all, to what I believe she is. I mean, I kinda trusted her, but only to a certain extent. I don't know why I felt like I could be honest with her, because that really doesn't happen in my life. I told her how Bryce and I felt about each other, but she seemed as if she didn't understand.
I opened the passenger side door, and then sat down on the rail beside it. “You are to always fight for what's yours, always. I'm fighting for what has always belonged to me.
“But before we left for Atlanta and before you killed the nurse, I heard her say that you would kill for him; the man named B. B is Bryce, isn't it?”
“Her questions to me is the reason why she died, you wanna be in her position?”
“No,” she said, taking the bloody paper towel and throwing it on the ground.
“So let's stop worrying about my past and go forward to the future. I’m going to take care of you; nobody will hurt you while I'm alive, so get out yo damn feelings and help me get the love of my life back. That's all we ever want in life is love right? I gotta do this to show him.”
“But show him what?” she asked, pulling down the visor and looking at her nose in the mirror.
“That Reese ain't shit! She needs to die for real this time, so Bryce can see what we have is real,” I said, closing the mirror. “Are you with me or no?”
She looked at me, closed her eyes and kissed me on the lips, and then pulled back. “You have me.”

Overstepped outside of myself so much and without the encouragement of these people in particular I wouldn't have released it: Kai “KeKe” Houston, Sixx, Damien, and Dee: thank you all for looking at what I write and correcting me. I will always and forever be grateful.
My hopes and admirations always came from the thoughts of you…You may not act a certain way, but who am I to judge? My first books stemmed from you and outside of me trying to vocalize my feelings, which you know it's hard for me to do, write. Thank you for listening, Uno even when I know you're not, lol.
