Storm's POV
It was the next day and I was home all by myself. The kids went to school, Kylie came to get Chelsey because her and Stormi were gonna go out. She invited me as well but I suggested to stay home. Josh left this morning to New York for a game so I won't be seeing him for a few days. He tried to convince me to come with him but I just wanted to be home.
Earlier I went to go see Saweetie and we called my mom so the three of us can talk about the incident. And yes I did get another lecture. But they were understanding about the situation afterwards. And my mom got extra security all around my house and nearby the kids school in case anything happens. Saweetie also suggested that I go live and talk about the situation. And honestly I think it's a good idea.
I grabbed my phone and propped it against my candle. I looked down at what I was wearing. A white Calvin Klein sports bra and the matching shorts. I don't have the energy to change. My hair was done so I guess that was ok. As I opened my phone and went to Instagram, I heard the door open. I froze and my heart started beating. Since the incident I've been so jumpy and paranoid. I grabbed a knife and slowly walked towards the front. Peyton pops up from corner and screams when she sees me.
"Oh my gosh you scared me!" She says holding her chest.
"You scared me" I said sighing. I put the knife down and walk back to my phone.
"What are you doing here?" I asked her. I haven't seen her for a while.
"Just came to grab something to bring to the store, Jonathan asked me" She says and I nodded. As she was about to walk away, I stopped her.
"Peyton?"
"Yea"
"Can we talk?" I asked her.
"About what?"
"About you moving" I said and she sighed. She takes a seat across me and folds her arms.

"Do you really wanna leave?" I asked her.
"Honestly no. But I just don't know how to feel about you and Melo" She says.
"Peyton look. I know it bothers you and I know you wish I hadn't set you up with Melo because him and I have done things in the past. But Melo loved you a lot, you were an amazing girl for him and he knew that. And I seen how happy you two made each other. Peyton please don't let this change how you think of Melo or me, you know neither of us would try to hurt you" I said to her.
"I know that. You're still my best friend and Melo is still my lost lover. I wish you had told me everything earlier but it doesn't matter now right?" She says and I nodded.
"You're right. And sorry again for not telling you that Melo got you pregnant" I said giggling and she laughs.
"It's ok I guess. I got blessed with an amazing little boy" She says smiling.
"So you're not mad anymore?" I asked her.
"No, after having a long talk with the ball family. I couldn't stay mad at you" She says.
"How are they?" I asked her.
"They're good. They miss you, especially Gelo and Tina" She says and I shake my head.
"There's no way. They hate me" I said looking down.
"Storm they aren't mad anymore. At the beginning yea, but later on they realized it wasn't your fault. Melo chose to do what he did" She says. I sighed and folded my arms. I missed the ball family deeply. I took something from them and anything that I do can never replace what I took. I hope they can find it in their hearts to forgive me.
"Welp" Was all I could say. I turn my phone on and went back to Instagram.
"What are you doing?" Peyton asks.
"I'm gonna go live and speak about what happened " I said to her.
"Everything or just recent stuff?" She asks.

"Recent stuff. I'm not ready but, I gotta do what I gotta do right?" I said shrugging. It's now or never. Can I pick never?
"I'll stay here for support" She says smiling. Awww Pey!
"Thanks Pey" I said to her. I pressed the live button and now I'm live. Instantly over 500 thousand people join the live. Well damn. I checked to see if my comments were off and they were. Good, because I didn't have time for the negativity.
"So uh, hey guys" I said a bit nervously.
"I'm here to talk about a few things, then I'm gonna go back into hiding" I said giggling. I took a deep breath in and breathe out and looked at Peyton. She put two thumbs up and I looked at the camera.
"So I'm pretty sure most of you know what happened last night, but for those who don't, someone threw a brick through my window while I was home with my daughter Chelsey. The brick had a note on it and it said that I should die and that I was a murder. And to top it off, it a had bullet taped onto it. Now I wanna ask you guys a question, how would you feel if someone did that to you and said something like that. You wouldn't like it right? Ok. Now think about it like this, imagine things being said to you like that everyday for years. It hurts right? Yea I know. Guys I'm just like you. I have feelings, I make mistakes, I do or say things sometimes that I'm not proud of. Just like everyone else. If you wouldn't want this done to you, don't do it to others" I said as I looked at my phone. The views were going up and people that I did follow were commenting hearts and positive things.
"I am scared. I am scared for myself, I am scared for my husband, I am scared for my kids. I scared for our safety because something like this can happen again. And god forbid something happens to me or my family while we are out on the streets. I know I get hated on for things people really don't know about and for things that has happened in the past. But If you're gonna hate me and make my life harder then what it already is, just do it to me and not my family. Or my friends. Or anyone that I care about" I said sighing. This felt good to let out.
"For the person who did this, I'm sorry. I'm sorry if I hurt you in any kind of way to make you do something like this. Anger or sadness can make people do things that they don't mean or wanna do. Trust me I know. I also apologize to people I've ignored while being away. Some of you sent me messages checking up on me and asking how I was and it took me a while to answer. Thank you for the love and support that you continue to send me. I appreciate it and really love you" I said smiling.
"And for the people that hate me because of what happened in the past. You don't know everything, you think you do, but you don't. When I'm ready, I'll come back to speak upon it. Until then, I think I said what I needed to say. Hopefully this makes a small change on how people feel or think towards me. Maybe it won't, and if it doesn't then it's ok" I said shrugging.
"Well that's all folks. Thank you for listening and I'll see y'all soon" I said and blew a kiss. I then ended the live and close my phone.
"Wow" I breathed out. A small weight felt like it was lifted off my shoulders. That kinda felt good...
"That was great Storm" Peyton says smiling at me.
"Thanks. I feel a little bit better now" I said while smiling.
"Let's celebrate that little accomplishment. Let's go grab a bite to eat then head to your store. My treat" She says and I cheered.
"Yesss food!"

The Stormcrow Cycle
Once a powerful and lauded witch, Ba'an salu-Ba'an now lives alone in a cave in the desert, waiting to die. When she rescues an outlander from certain death she becomes embroiled in a deadly game of politics and empire, of heart and soul, but worst of all--of hope and love and a chance at a peaceful future. Can a disgraced witch find a reason to live her life again--and if so, what price must she pay? The Stormcrow Cycle is a trilogy comprising of The Exile, The Lion, and Abomination. Tags or genres for each book: The Exile: romance, slice-of-life The Lion: romance, slice-of-life, politics Abomination: tragedy, high/epic fantasy (aka "Everything is on fire!") Updates once a week whenever I have time. Cross-posted on Wattpad and Scribble Hub. The CBMokedi cover will return! Excerpt: She looked down at him again. Young. Healthy, from what she could see, except for the wound that was killing him. He was handsome in a way that suggested a life of wealth and plenty. She did not think he had ever starved. Someone important. Her shadow fell across him, and he frowned. Blearily, he opened his eyes. They were amber and bright, even as he lay dying in the dirt. She could feel his soul, blazing inside of him like a fire refusing to die even as his body began to fail. He met her gaze, eyes widening in what she guessed was surprise—or shock. But he never looked away, staring up at her as though transfixed. Ba’an made her decision. She raised her hand and covered his eyes. In another moment, a murder of crows cawed as they took wing. The man and woman were gone from the road, leaving only the dead staring up into the sky. Note: This is a high-fantasy set in a low-magic world. The first book is largely character-driven and we really only hit the real plot in Book II, so if you're not fond of long epic yarns you ought to skip this one. I also don't include trigger warnings, but mind the "traumatizing content" tag--all societies minus one practice slavery and the world is indeed, rather grim!
