*Phone rings*

As I look at my phone I see that seven, my bestie, is calling. I love when she calls, she may not call all the time but that's only because we live separate lives.

Seven: hey bestieee Nyla: omg hey best wyd Seven: nothing trynna pop some bottles to nightttt Nyla: oh word? We t'd up tonight?!? Seven: shtt why not Nyla: ok cool cool, but um... bestie I have to tell you the craziest sht tht happened to me the other day. Seven: what?

Nyla: right....but he made it up to me, yk that's my man my man my man... 😛 Seven: I'm sick of BOTH of yal goodbye 😂 *call ends*

Later that day

So it looks like I'm finally getting out of the house and getting turnt tonight. But first I have to clean up a little, I mean it's already clean, but I hate to have to come back and straighten up the house.

For the next 2 hours, Nyla washed the dishes, swept, vacuumed, mopped, sprayed air freshener, cleaned the bathrooms, and cleaned the kitchen.

*Sighs* ok that's all I'm going to do right now, if I keep cleaning I'll be all night, the house is just a little too big. I stopped to take a look around admiring the beauty of the home, it's actually not that bad. Being a girlfriend held hostage at some crazy nigga's house is kind of great.





I went upstairs to see what I had to wear in the closet. Don took me shopping the other day, but I snuck and went to a different store while he was looking at something. I went to buy me a couple of dresses. Some dresses that I know he wouldn't let me wear. As I look in the closet I see this grey distressed dress with the Matching heels i bought to go with it.



This is cute but I don't know if this screams I'm going to the club, it screams I'm going to live in a graveyard. So I looked through the closet and I seen another outfit.



I don't know how to feel about this one either. I kind of want to show more skin than cover up. I look through again to see one final outfit. It was perfect.



I FaceTimed seven to see her outfit, she looked great. She had this metallic dress with a matching bag and black heels.



So now were both ready, I get my car keys and grab my purse. I left the house locking the door behind me and off to the club I went.

Don pov.

I'm at the trap right na, Nyla supposed to be at home, but one of my homeboys, Mono, call and tell me that he see her and her best friend at the club shaking ass. I told him to keep a eye on them and make sure they don't do nun stupid. When I got off the phone I was heated. She didn't even tell me she was going out, and she know I hate when she go to the club because she be coming home drunk asf. I grab my keys, went straight to my car to go get her ass from that club. She tripping, now she finna be all sad and mad when I mess her lil fun up. I never said she could go anyways. As I pull up to the club, I see Mono and my other homeboys waving me over. I hop out, walk over saying wassup. Her lil ass throwing up, starting fights with other bitches. And crashing out, says Mono. *sighs* where she at rn, says Don. Up at some V.I.P. Booth with a group of randoms, says Mono.

Nyla pov

I'm having fun, drinking, partying, dancing with my bestie, and more. I See seven freak out because she said she seen Don coming up to the booth, I say swearrrr, I'm so out of it I can't even walk straight, especially cause I have on heels and I'm drunk. Me and seven get up and try to run fast and get out of there so he wouldn't see us. On the way out, we bumped into one of Don's friends Mono. Me and seven look at each other, we know we have been caught. Um.. we was...um..we left one of our bags at the counter the last ti- shut the fuck up, says Mono to seven. He called Don over. He looks right at me, where tf you get these clothes from, says Don. Um...I um.. I got em when we went shopping, You just didn't know, says Nyla. Seven laughs, I look at her and couldn't hold it in either, we both was laughing. Don picked me up, and put me over his shoulders. He called seven's boyfriend telling him to come get her, and he told Mono to keep a eye on her until she leaves.

Later

Don took my car keys, he's mad at me. He was yelling at me in the car while driving me home but, I was so out of it I barely heard what he was saying. Leaning my head against the window, I fell asleep.

When we arrived at home, Don took me out the car, and into the house. He throwed me on the couch and pulled up a chair to watch me. A few minutes later I got up and ran to the bathroom because I had to vomit, Don follows me and leans up against the door frame just watching. Once I was done I leaned against the toilet, my head was throbbing, I have a really bad hangover. So.. who told you to go out to the club, especially wearing some shit like that, says Don. I didn't say anything I just looked up at him. Nyla, I'm talking to you. Says Don. Nobody I just wanted to go, says Nyla. Don walked up to me and squatted down to my level, he stared at me and said, "so if I wanted to beat yo ass, and nobody told me to then what?" I scrunch my eyebrows and said "what..." I tried to get up and move away from the spot I was in but he pulled me back down and told me to stop moving. I got a little scared. Why can't I go out and have fun when I want but you're free to leave, says Nyla. Why you didn't tell me you was going, says Don. Because you would have told me no, says Nyla. Exactly, Don.

Don snatched me up from the floor, I screamed saying stop let me go, he dragged me all the way up the stairs by my hair and into the bedroom where he was beating on me senseless. I got away from his grip and ran toward the room door, just as I was opening it, he slammed it shut and throwed me on the ground. STOPP, GET OFF ME, says Nyla. Don didn't say a word. He continued beating me. After pleading and begging he grabs me by the neck and says "I swear I will kill you if you try some dumb shit like that again, you think you can leave my motherfucking house wearing some thot ass clothes like that and go to the club and shake ass like you a stripper, HUH" I didn't say anything for a second I just cried. IM TALKING TO YOU, says Don. Noo, I don't I wasn't trying to make you m-, says Nyla as she was cut off by Don saying, "you will never leave this house again. And even when you do you will be watched and followed by one of my men, do you understand me?" I immediately said yes. After he let me go, I balled myself up and started to cry hopelessly.

The next day

I fell asleep on the ground, waking up to a headache. This wasn't the first time Don hit me, I don't like it. You're not supposed to abuse your girlfriend. As I was in my train of thought, Get the fuck up, says Don. I look over at him, he was sitting on the bed staring at me. I stood up, and stayed quiet. Don got up and walked toward me. I back up and put both of my hands out, pleading and shaking saying wait don't hit me I won't go out anymore. I'm not about to hit you girl shut the fuck up, says Don. He comes over to me and puts me in chains. Wait what are you doing, says Nyla. He doesn't say anything. Once he was done he yanked the chains making me follow him. I fall, he gets mad and picks me up by my arm and standing me up on my feet. As we were walking, he takes me downstairs and into the basement. He chains me up to the wall and pushes me on the ground. No, no, no WAIT, says Nyla. Don stops walking and turns around. Don't leave me down here please I'm sorry I'll do what ever you want please I'm sorry I won't do it again PLEASE, says Nyla. Fix your fucking tone when you're talking to me, says Don. Ok I- I will I'm sorry don't leave me here, says Nyla in a low tone. Don didn't listen, he goes up stairs and shuts the basement door while also locking it. I sit there in disbelief, not knowing what to do.

Don pov

Nyla will never leave again. Ha lil ass mine, why can't she just understand that? I try to reason with ha I give ha what ever she asks for, it's just not enough. She has to go out with that btch seven and be a hoe every time she call. This time, I will make sure that will never happen again. Mono, my homeboy, will be at the basement door making sure she doesn't get out. the only time she will come upstairs is when she wants to eat, shower, or use the bathroom, says Don. Mono shakes his head in agreement.

Weeks later

Don has been keeping me in the basement for lord knows how long. The only time i was allowed to leave was to take a shower or eat. Don sometimes comes down here to check on me. When I heard the door open, I seen Don coming down the steps. Hi, says Don. I didn't say anything, I kept looking down. He walk up to me and lifts my chin up, I'm talking to you, says Don. These chains hurt can you losen them up, says Nyla. That's not how you ask and fix yo fucking tone when you talking to me, says Don as he aggressively grips my throat. I whimper. Saying once again, c-can you please losen the chain a little they're hurting me. Don looks at me for a few seconds before letting me go and loosening up the chains. When will you let me stay upstairs, says Nyla. Don gives no answer. Don I won't do anything I promise, Nyla says as tears start to form in her eyes. Plea- can you please shut the fuck up?, says Don calmly as he cuts Nyla off before she could say her next word. I don't say another word, I just cried silently. When he was finished with the chains, he said "I'll be back later, you want something to eat while I'm out?" I nod in agreement. Ok cool, says Don. He goes up stairs. I sit on the ground, thinking about ways I can get out of here. I thought about places to go when I leave. Atlanta sounds good, but he goes there sometimes for business. California? Maybe. I sit there quietly, quiet enough to listen for anyone outside the door. I heard movement, letting me know that one of Don's friends is outside the door on look out. The escape won't happen tonight, but sometime it will.

That's a wrap for chapter 5 guysss. Let me know how you guys are liking it so far.
