Excuse any mistakes!

Opening my eyes to a bright light beaming in my face. I squinted confused as to where I was. I jumped up seeing I was in East bedroom laying naked in his bed. My mind started to race as I jumped up.

"Oh no, no, no."

I panicked looking around for my clothes. Looking over I found my phone laying perfectly on his nightstand. I grabbed it seeing missed calls from Zae, Lilo, my uncle, brother, and cousin. They were all worried sick.

My stomach started to bubble at the thought of me cheating on Zae. I couldn't remember anything from last night but my body did hurt letting me know one thing. Why would he leave like this knowing what we did? I rushed out the room heading for the door but a loud beeping sound stopped my movement.

I was confused because I never heard it before. It was getting annoying, so I decided to follow the noise. The closer I got the louder the noise became. It lead me to an unknown door I didn't know East had at his house. Or maybe I never really looked around.

I turned the doorknob and it was locked. I ran my fingers through my hair in hopes of bobby-pins. Once I found it I picked the lock and successfully got inside. When I opened the door I got the shock of my life.

"What the hell?" I questioned myself seeing a whole surveillance room. They were cameras and pictures everywhere. I was shocked that he had all of this in his house. How could I have not known?

I walked in getting a closer look. He had a chair in front of the screens making me take a seat. I noticed a notebook wide open with a bunch of dates on them. I flipped through seeing some of the dates I knew where familiar. I spotted my name with a date and I typed it on the computer.

An old video of me sleeping over popped up making me creeped out. I flipped through more of the book and came across random dates that I didn't know about. Something was telling me to search my dad's death date and I found it, written in

With shaky hands, I typed that date in the computer and a video popped up making my heart rate increase tremendously. I took a deep breath pressing play. There my dad was taking grocery sacks out his car. As he came back out for the rest, a group of boys rushed him.

He smiled throwing his hands up seeing one of them holding a gun. They went back and forth about something but I couldn't hear since the video had low audio. Whatever it was didn't bother my dad because he still held his smile and his head high.

He was never the type to show his weakness to the enemy. They started ruffing him up making me angry. My dad said one thing and the boy raised his gun to my father's chest.

"Please don't." I begged even though I knew what was going to happen.

I closed my eyes hearing a loud clear pop. My dad fell to the ground holding his chest. The boy came back shooting him twice again taking off his mask. My heart fell to my ass seeing who it was.

The bullet that killed my dad came from . He took my father away from me and smiled in my face from that day forward. He never showed any signs that he was the one. He never treated my dad differently around me. My question was why? Why would he do this to my dad and me?

The video finished with all the boys I had already handled and East walking off. My dad laid there in his own blood bleeding out. He crawled to the door where he took his last breath. My eyes couldn't seem to leave the screen as I watched. It broke my heart seeing this. He was my world and he was taken away for some unknown reason.

After the video cut something in my gut was telling to type the date I was shot. When I did I seen East once again. He was behind all of this.

I tried thinking back to last night but everything was a blur. I couldn't remember one single thing. My phone dinging knocking me out my thoughts. My Lyft was outside. I decided to place everything back the way it was and leave out without a trace. I knew he had cameras so I deleted the footage of me founding out everything.

The whole ride to my condo was the worst. The feeling I was getting honestly hurt. I couldn't imagine the look on Zae's face when he found out. I knew I fucked up bad.

When I got inside the house was quiet letting me know Lilo and the baby were still sound asleep. I made it to room jumping at what I saw. Zae was laying in my bed with his eyes trained on me.

"Luna, where the hell have you been? I've been calling you all night." He got up walking towards me. I could tell he hasn't been to sleep due to the bags under his eyes.

I wrapped my arms around him not wanting to let go. He looked confused but held me tight. I laid my head on his chest cherishing this moment.

"What happened to y- What the fuck man?!" He pulled me back roughly looking down at me

"What?"

"What the fuck is that on your neck?" He questioned confusingly but that soon turned into laughter. "You cheated on me?"

"Huh? What, no?" I began to stammer over all my words. His eyes held a hurt angry look and I was honestly scared.

"So what the fuck are all these hickeys over your neck?"

"Just let me explain please." I begged feeling helpless. "When I woke up this morning I was at East house naked. I don't k-"

"YOU FUCKED EAST? You cheated on me with your so called bestfriend." He backed me into the wall getting in my face.

"Listen, he did so-"

"I don't want to hear shit you got to say. I've been there the same way you've been there for me and you do this to me? After everything we've been through."

"Zae, please-" My sentence was cut off by him punching the wall near my face. I jumped feeling his anger radiate off the walls.

He looked me in the eyes.

"Loved?" My heart jumped at those words then shattered. Tears fell from my eyes staring into his watery ones. I reached out to grab his arm but he snatched back.

"Fuck you." I felt that with everything in me and knew he meant it. He left out the room slamming the door so hard the pictures fell from the wall.

A loud sob escaped my mouth as I slide down to the floor. He just broke my healed heart. I felt empty inside as his words played back in my head. I gripped my hair trying to make it stop.

"Luna?" By the voice, I knew it was Lilo. I didn't raise my head. "Luna, please tell me what happened."

"H-he left m-me." I cried.

"Why?"

I sniffed wiping my face. "I think I cheated on him but I don't remember what happened."

She looked confused but shocked. Like she didn't understand what I was trying to say.

"Explain, please. Didn't you leave with East?"

I nodded. "I can't remember a thing."

"Go over everything that happened that you can remember."

"I left, got in the car with East and we headed to the club. He got to the section and had a couple of drinks. When my song came on East handed me a drink and we danced on to the song. He started whispering things in my ear and I told him he was tripping. He then grabbed me roughly and-"

I stopped my remembering what happened next and I couldn't believe it, well now I could. Lilo gripped my hand causing me to look at her. Tears filled her eyes as she shook her head.

"He hurt you, didn't he?"

I nodded feeling sick to my stomach. I rushed to the bathroom releasing everything I was feeling. She rubbed my back as it just kept coming out. Once I was done I sat up wiping my mouth. She gave me concern eyes but I didn't say anything but grab my toothbrush and wash my mouth.

"We need to tell the police or someone. He can't just do that and get away with it."

"It's okay." I blandly said stripping out of my clothes. I turned the shower on to the highest hot setting I could take and got in.

Lilo mugged me and cut the shower off. "What the fuck?! You can't just act like that. We need to talk about this."

"I CAN DO WHAT THE FUCK I WANT!" I screamed at her turning the shower back on. My head started throbbing. "Please get out."

She shook her head crying but did as I told. I let the water run over my body for a while before taking my towel and scrubbing my body squeaky clean. I wanted all of him off of me. I couldn't stomach this feeling. It was literally making me sick. I stayed in for about two hours before getting out.

I stepped in front of the shower wiping the fog from the mirror. The person that stared back at me I couldn't recognize at all. I lifted my hand punching the mirror. I didn't want to look at this person anymore. I took a deep breath watching the blood leave my hand.

I could feel myself becoming numb. This is a game nobody wanted to play with me. In games, there is always one winner. Let's see who the last one is standing. I'm not going down without a fight. They wanted the bitch, they got her back...
