Chapter 12

- Read until the end, there is a surprise for ya'll 🎉

Macy POV

After changing the comforter set I was sitting in Money's bed as I tried calling Caella for the hundredth time, yet her phone kept going to voicemail. I mentally screamed becoming frustrated.

Why the fuck would she tell Cash she was a transgender? Something just was not adding up and it was stressing me the fuck out trying to figure it out myself.

Maybe she just was trying to be funny?
Maybe she did not think it would escalate this far?
Throwing my phone down on the bed I started rubbing my hands up and down my arms while sighing.

The thoughts of Jalen knowing who I was talking to again made me start to rub my arms faster. I should have just told Money about how delusional Jalen was at the beginning. Regret was written all over my face as I thought about how despite how angry he was he still held me in his arms.

Knowing Money was out doing God knows what, and Jalen was watching my every move once again means that he was most likely watching Money too. I was so ashamed of how this was going, and I did not know what to do. Taking my bun down I ran my hands through my hair and let my thoughts consume me.

See, Jalen has a twin named Jason, and he and Micaella use to date. They broke up not too long after me and Jalen, because Jason started to put his hands on Micaella. I tried to talk her and let her know what he was doing wasn't right no matter how small of a hit it was. She would always say it was no big deal, and that she wasn't worried about it, but with me being her bestfriend I could not just leave the situation alone. Eventually she listened to me and left him without saying so much as a word.

I met Jalen through Micaella and Jason. They were together for about 3 months before they introduced me to Jalen. She wanted to double date and thought it would be cool to date twins. She told me how he was in college as well, and how he had a job working faithfully. She totally left out the part about him being a fucking lunatic and a womanizer though.

Jalen was perfect at first, sweet, caring, and very attentive. Towards the end of the relationship he started cheating, lying, and acting very crazy. I got fed up and broke up all relations with him. I didn't even want to be this nigga friend. When I first broke up with Jalen he told me he respected me for not letting him treat me any kind of way. After that I just grinded constantly just to get my shop, focused on myself, focused on graduating college, and gave no one the time of day.

Then when I finally opened my shop and got my life in a steady place, he saw I was starting to warm up to the idea of finally giving other boys the time of the day he started acting crazier. He would pop up anywhere I was, call me out of my name, threaten me and so much more.

It was such a stressful situation. I tried to go to the police about stalking problems, yet each time they only told me they couldn't do anything due to them not having actual proof of him stalking me, which caused me to move alot. So, I eventually said fuck it and gave up on asking the police for help.

After the situation with Marcus, I totally gave up on the idea of talking to anyone else afraid of what would happen. I stayed focused with work, sometimes even over working myself, which caused a few restless nights.

Paranoia took over me a lot of nights. I wish I could get rid of Jalen all together, in a sense I feel like he ruined my life. I could not stay focused a lot of times I was out doing little things like shopping or eating, from being afraid of him watching me.

When I started to allow Money more into my life, Jalen became a lost thought. I no longer felt afraid of him, I felt safe and secured. Mekhi was perfect in more ways then I could name.
