Behind The Scenes

Cry me a river

One day later

"You were my sun
You were my earth
But you didn't know all the ways I loved you, no
So you took a chance
And made other plans
But I bet you didn't think that they would come crashing down, no

You don't have to say, what you did,
I already know, I found out from him
Now there's just no chance, for you and me, there'll never be
And don't it make you sad about it

You told me you loved me
Why did you leave me, all alone
Now you tell me you need me
When you call me, on the phone
Girl I refuse, you must have me confused
With some other guy
Your bridges were burned, and now it's your turn
To cry, cry me a river
Cry me a river-er
Cry me a river
Cry me a river-er, yea yea"

Mahayma threw her phone at the wall in anger. She screamed, her scream echoed through the hollow walls and ended up with the neighbour banging on the wall. "Oh shut up!" Mahayama yelled.

She knew she had done Dee wrong, Mahayama wanted to apologise, she had even gone as far as to get in her car, turn the engine on and drive to Dee's house. Her fingers brushed the doorbell a few times but never had she rang it.

Mahayama walked in to her kitchen, picked up the rose and poured herself a glass. Mahayama lifted it to her lips before her brain realised what she was doing. She put the drink down and let out an exasperated sigh. "It's us against the world baby, you and I." Mahayana rubbed her stomach.

The doorbell rang out. Mahayama groaned as she walked towards the door. "What the fu-" the door swung open,exposing Dee on the other side of the door.

"Dee!" Mahayama stood in the same spot. "Are you not going to invite me in?" Dee rolled her eyes. "Umm,yes, come in." Dee brushed past Mahayama.

"Dee, I'm sorry,please forgive me. I was an idiot-" "Yeah, yeah, shut up now. I understand, you're pregnant, you're hormones are crazy, you're going through rough times, whatever I don't care, you're forgiven." Dee sat on the chair.

"Mahayama you need to wash, you smell musky and fishy." Dee wrinkled up her nose. Mahayama wiped away her tears and ran in to the bathroom.

Dee knocked on the door. "Look May, I'm sorry, that was really rude, I don't know why I said it." Dee sighed. "I guess, even though I've forgiven you, I'm scared. I'm scared he'll choose you over me." Dee rubbed her temple.

"Mahayama you've always gotten the boys, they've always wanted you, they were always chasing after you and who did I have?" Dee let out a deep breath. "Nobody, I wasn't found attractive until I found Romaro. May I was jelous of you but now,you're jelous of me and I don't know, it made me feel better about myself. I'm a horrible friend right?" Dee asked. "No you're not, you're my best friend and we've both done some messed up shit but we've gotten through it, you,Deme and I. It was the three of us against everything." Mahayma came out of the shower with her towel around her.

"It still is, except now, it's you and you're baby, Deme and Tyrell and Byron, Sammy and I against everything." Dee clasped Mahayma's hand.

Switch sider by Ella Mai rang out from Dee's pocket, Mahayma walked off to get dressed. Dee looked at the caller id and saw it was Reece. "Hey." Dee said. "Baby, I've got a meeting in an hour with NBA, it's nothing major but-" "I'm on my way." Dee hung up and knocked on Mahayma's door.

"May, I'm going now, I'll talk to you later!" Dee shouted through the closed door. "Okay, bye." Mahayma replied. Dee walked out of the house and in to her car.

No sooner had Dee gone, the doorbell was rung. "Dee what did you forget?" Mahayma giggled as she put on her tank top and slid on her Nike jogging bottoms as she raced to the door. "You're not Dee." Mahayma frowned at the men standing in front of her.

"Mahayma- Renai Richmond, you are under arrest for the murders of Brandon Shey, Reece King and Sarayah Meyers..." Mahayma zoned out after that, she blinked as if she was in a dream, not quite knowing what to do when the police slapped the handcuffs on her wrist. A single tear dripped down Mahayma's face. "As I said before, it's you and I against the world, I'd do anything to give us a good life." Mahayma stroked her stomach. "Anything."
