me."
I was fighting back the tears that were threatening to fall. Kamil really hurt me.
"I really am sorry Reneice. I thought I was protecting you by not telling you. I swear I didn't know you were in the hospital, I never meant for this shit to happen." His voice cracked.
I took a deep breath. "I believe you .”
"What? You do?"
There was a knock at the door and I jumped. "Look, I gotta go. It was nice talking to you."
"Can I call you back?"
"I'll call you," I whispered into the phone before I hung up.
I went to the door and unlocked it, when I opened it Mykell was standing there with a strange look on his face.
"What's wrong? Why you crying?"
Shit! I wiped my eyes before I replied. "I'm fine," I said trying to walk around him but he blocked me.
"Don't lie to me Reneice , who called you?"
"Mykell , I’m fine."
What the hell have I gotten myself into?

I met up with Lani and Janae, we were having a girl's night at Janae's house. Ever since Mack introduced us, we clicked and have been inseparable. I need somebody to talk to about the phone call I received the other day.
"What's on ya mind mami?" Lani asked.
"Okay, I'm about to tell y'all something but you can't tell Ramone or Micah."
"We won't ,” Lani agreed.
I took a deep breath before I started. "Kamil called me the other day."
"What the fuck! Where was Kell?" Lani asked.
"He was right by me when he called." I shook my head.
"They gon kill him," Janae said.
I already filled her in on the situation so she knows how serious this is.
“So what did he say? What did you say?” Lani asked in one breath.
“Well he apologized and said he never meant for it to go down like that. Talking about he loves me and that’s why he never went through with it,” I explained.
“If he really loved you like he claims he wouldn’t have let that shit go down, period,” Lani said.
“I agree, he would have killed both of them bitches if they tried any funny shit. The fact that he knew and you got raped but he still never said anything is foul as hell Neicey,” said Janae, agreeing with Lani.
I just sat back because I had a lot on my mind. Everything that they were saying is true. I just don’t know what to do.
Mykell
Things with me and Neicey still weren’t where I wanted them to be. It’s cool though, I started back messing with Candy after I had to slap her up for that shit she pulled at the hospital. I’m not feeling her to the point where I would want to be in a relationship with her, never that. It’s just sex, nothing more and I make sure she understands that because I don’t want her ass getting confused.
Honestly, she ain’t got shit on Neicey, she’s nowhere on her level. I find myself comparing females to Neicey a lot. That shit just comes natural. I was at home waiting for Neicey and the boys to get back home. It seems like ever since she has been home from the hospital, they have been stuck to her like glue. I was about to fix me something to eat but my phone rang and caught my attention. What she want? I thought before I answered.
“Yo!”
“Hey daddy,” Candy cooed into the
