DONT FORGET TO COMMENT AND VOTE💖

The next morning, Amiyah woke up and she didn't see Dominic. As she sat up she heard the sink water running and when it stopped, he walked out of the bathroom.

He didn't have on a shirt, just some shorts.

"Goodmorning", Dominic said.

"Goodmorning", Amiyah replied.

Dominic sat in one of the chairs. He didn't really make eye contact with her. After him telling her he loved her, he just felt awkward.

Amiyah sat up and sighed.

"You okay?", he asked.

"No", Amiyah replied. "Bianca warned me, you warned me and a part of me wanted to listen but I didn't. He never wanted to wear a condom and I didn't forced him to and now I'm pregnant...I just feel like an idiot. But it doesn't even matter because he was crazy about me before we got together. Either way he was going to make it so we got together"

"You're not an idiot, alright? You're just a good person, it's just that you can't do everything on your own...some people, they just don't want any help", Dominic said.

Amiyah looked down. "Shouldn't you be at work?", she asked.

"I called our sick", he replied. "What was your excuse?"

Amiyah looked at him. "I quit", she replied.

"You quit?", Dominic asked. "Why?"

"I'm leaving the city. Just like I told you last night", she said.

"Is he that bad?", Dominic asked. "What did he do to you?"

"It was my fault", Amiyah said. "I did it. I made him mad and I shouldn't have"

"People get mad Amiyah. But not that mad that the other person feels so scared to leave", Dominic said.

"I have to use the restroom", Amiyah said as she got out of the bed. "And I don't wanna talk about this"

"Amiyah, we need to", Dominic said.

Amiyah stopped walking and looked at him.

"We don't need to talk about anything. It has nothing to do with you", Amiyah said. "I haven't even told Bianca"

"Okay but maybe a restraining order isn't what he needs!", Dominic shouted.

Amiyah jumped a little.

Dominic calms down and sighs. "Everybody isn't a Saint. There are bad people out there. You should know. You're a lawyer", Dominic said.

"Okay well guess what? I made a mistake and now I'm getting out of it", Amiyah said.

"He should be going to jail before anybody else gets hurt", Dominic said.

Amiyah looks down as she walks to the bathroom.

Dominic shook his head and got up to get his phone. He decided to call Bianca but she didn't answer. Her phone went straight to voicemail, so he texted her.

MESSAGE: Dominic: hey, I have been trying to talk to Amiyah about Lamar. I could use your help🙄

Dominic put his phone down and turned on the tv and put it on the news.

Amiyah walked out of the bathroom.

"My flight is leaving at 1 today", she said. "So, I'm about to get ready"

Dominic didn't hear a word she said. He was too busy listening to the TV.

Suddenly, she heard Bianca's name on the T.V. so it made her look.

"Bianca Williams was found dead last night due on Taylor street. As far as we know it was no witnesses but if you know anything about who is responsible for her death, please call this number on the screen", the reporter said.

Amiyah started crying. "No, no, no", she said.

A tear fell from Dominic's eyes as he looked down. He didn't want Amiyah to see him cry. He wiped his tears and got up and comfort her, by hugging her.

"This is all my fault", she said.

"You're not the one who killed her", Dominic said.

"But I'm the reason she got killed", Amiyah said as she moved away from Dominic. "You need to go"

"If this guy killed Bianca, then what makes you think I'm leaving your side?", Dominic asked.

"Because you'll be next", Amiyah said.

"No I won't", Dominic said.

"Yes you will", Amiyah said. "Just leave. Please"

"I'm not going anywhere and that final", Dominic said. "I'll be damn if I loose you!"

Amiyah looked down. "He's violent when he's mad Dominic and as you can see, he's willing to kill anybody who gets in his way",Amiyah said.

"I'm willing to make that sacrifice", Dominic said.

Amiyah looked at him.

"Like I said last night...I love you, Amiyah", he said with a weak smile. He was sad about Bianca dying but he was trying to hide his emotions. "Back in high school, you know I wasn't the typed that liked going to school until I saw you? And then I tired to start making small talk with you by talking junk. I mean you knew I was flirting but that's what I did with all the girls so you didn't pay me any mind. You just talked your shit back. But...to me you were always different from the rest of them because you were...you. You seemed so mature, strong, and smart and that has always attracted me. I just knew you weren't somebody that should be played with like a toy...you were somebody that should be loved and cherished, somebody that deserved to be a wife one day"

Amiyah looked down.

"And I always hoped that you could be my wife but I guess...I was scared that you didn't feel the same way and I was scared that I'd fuck things up with you", Dominic said. "I didn't know if I wanted to risk not having a friendship"

Amiyah cried a little. "I wish that we could start something but we can't", she said. "I need to leave and you need to stay"

"Amiyah, I cant", Dominic said. "I promised somebody I would keep you safe and I plan on keeping you safe"

"I'm guessing that somebody is Bianca", Amiyah said.

Dominic nods.

Amiyah looked down.

"But we all know what we need to do, so maybe you don't even have to move", Dominic said.

"...yea... I think it's best if we tell the police...for Bianca", Amiyah said. "He doesn't deserve to free and he doesn't need to hurt anyone else"

"I agree", Dominic said. "Now...go get ready so I can too and we can go to the police station"

Amiyah nods. She knew he was going to be there so she was nervous.

"Don't worry. I'll be right by your side", Dominic said.

"Okay", Amiyah said. "I'll go get ready"

"Okay", Dominic replied.

Amiyah walked into the bathroom.

And Dominic sat back thinking about Bianca and her dying.
