After a hit and miss at the club she works at, Normani immediately becomes intrigued by the woman who saves her. After several accidental meetings and pestering, she finds out her hero is a well known drug dealer. As crazy as it seems, this doesn't...
Over the days I have dealt with everything much better than I originally was. It's not all the way good but I have some sense of serenity.
"Mamá, let's go shopping for Leo" Aaliyah smiles
"Alright, go put your shoes on" I say
She goes into her room and I quickly get dressed in a white T-Shirt, red and black flannel, and black ripped jeans with a gold zipper on the knee area. I go into the closest and pull out a pair of Jordan's.

I go into Aaliyah's room to see what she's doing and see her distracted by the TV. I turn it off and put her shoes on for her, we leave out and head to the mall.
************************************************
I pick up my drink and take a big sip while glance around the restaurant. Out the corner of me eye I see a guy that were at the last two places we were at and another one across the room.
Being that Normani's house is the closest, I ask Aaliyah if she wants to go over there. She nods her head and I throw our stuff out, I grab her hand tightly and walk out. I go to the pay phone to call her incase they tapped into my phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey babe"
"Lauren? Why are you on a pay phone?"
"Cause my phone might be tapped into, are you home?"
"Yea, why are you whispering?"
"Something's about to happen and I need you to take Aaliyah"
"Sure"
"Thanks, have your door unlocked"
"Okay"
I hang the phone up and quickly put Aaliyah in her seat and get into the drivers seat. I watch the two guys walk out and I wait to see what car they get into before pushing down on the gas.
"Liyah"
"Hmm?"
"I love you a lot"
"I love you too mamá" She smiles
"Even if I'm not here, I'll still love you. Remember that, forever" I say
"Mhm"
I look in my rear view mirror and see the car ganging up on me. I make a sharp turn and press harder on the gas, swerving in and out of lanes. I manage to be out of sight after a few more swerves and turns, I turn onto Normani's block and throw the car in park as I pull up. I get Aaliyah and walk into the house, calling for Normani.
