Forever and a Day (24 page)

“Start talking because this shit is your fault.”

“How do you know that?” Zo asked.

“Because the same person who left my girl for dead left a little surprise for Ms. I won’t tell my secrets.”

Zo read the letter out loud:

Danielle, Danielle, Danielle! I told your bitch of a friend that I was going to make her suffer. She must of thought I was joking. I know for a fact you wont be able to read this, so for whoever finds this bitch make sure you deliver my message to Brielle. How does it feel Brielle to know that you are the cause of your friend being hurt and in
pain. Don’t worry, it’s okay because you won’t be feeling anything pretty soon anyways. Your friend put up a fight but not good enough. Death is calling your name. All this could have been avoided if only you didn’t go around fucking people over like your feelings were the only ones that mattered. Now you feel some of the pain I felt. I’m closer than you think and I’ll be seeing you real soon. By the way, I couldn’t stand that bitch of a friend anyway. So making my decision on which friend would pay for your mistakes was the easiest decision I’ve ever made. I swear I hate her stuck up ass. I see it as killing two bitches; oops I mean bird with one stone. See you soon!

“So obviously it’s Kris trying his bullshit again.” Zo said.

“It ain’t Kris.” Cam said.

“How do you know that for sure?” Kiyan asked.

“Because J-Rock and Dre been on him since the car accident.” Cam said.

“But they had to stop following him for food and shit,” Ty pointed out.

“Nawh, they work on shifts.”

“Damn,” Zo whispered.

“So tell me, who did you piss off?” Cam said stepping closer to Brielle.

“I didn’t piss anyone off. I don’t know who would want to hurt Danielle or me.”

“I’m going to need you to think long and hard because someone obviously wants your head. Delivered on a damn platter. Who the hell did you fire? Who the hell was you seeing while you were seeing ole boy? Who the hell wants to see you hurt?” Cam questioned.

“Cameron, I honestly don’t know. I don’t have enemies.” Brielle continued to cry.

“What about Jaiden?” Sabriya asked.

“I haven’t pissed Jaiden off.” Brielle said.

“You don’t know and because you don’t know he is a definite suspect.” Kiyan stepped up.

Chapter 32

“You’re so good at keeping secrets you should be able to keep one last one.”
–Cam

“It’s done.” The voice said over the phone.

“Did you kill her?”

“No I don’t think he killed her. But she won’t be walking any time soon.”

“The job was to kill her. Not beat her ass.”

“I didn’t know. I thought we were only sending a message.”

“Hold on. Your boss will not be happy.” The voice said putting her boss on the three way with them.

“Speak.”

“She fucked it up. I thought you said you had her trained.”

“Bitch do you not listen when I talk to you.” The boss screamed.

“I do. You said get him to fuck her up. You never said to kill her.”

“No. I said make sure you fuck her up enough for a closed casket.”

“I didn’t hear the closed casket part.”

“Of course you didn’t because you only listen to what the fuck you want to listen to. I swear you have to do your own dirty work these days because people will fuck it up quicker than a baby will fuck up a white shirt.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Yes, you are sorry. I’ll be in touched. Get off my line.” The boss hung up.

“I hope you know that’s your ass.” The voice said before hanging up the phone.

~~~~~

“Cam Davis,” the doctor called out.

“I’m right here.” Cam ran over to the doctor.

“Hello, I’m Dr.Wilds. I am Danielle’s primary doctor. Is a Brielle Williams here?” Dr.Wilds asked.

“I’m Brielle.” Brielle stood.

“How is she?” Cam asked.

“Danielle is now awake. She has been asking for you two. I need to warn you before you go inside. She was badly beaten. She has a cracked rib, a broken arm and she
has a minor head injury. She took blows to the head and she will have major headaches for a while.” The doctor explained.

“What room is she in?” Brielle asked.

“She is in room 216. She might be in and out because I gave her pain medication to subside the pain. So you might want to keep the conversations to a minimum.”

“How long will she have to stay in the hospital?” Cam asked.

“I recommend that she stay here for the next two days and then she should be able to go home and rest comfortable. I don’t recommend her to go back to work anytime in the next week or two. She should focus on resting and getting her strength back.”

             
Brielle, Cam and the crew begin moving from the waiting area towards the elevators to go upstairs to see Danni. They knew Danielle would make it. She was one of the strongest people they knew. Cam didn’t want to bother Danielle with many details so he made it clear that no one would bring up the letters to Danielle tonight.

“When we get up here, don’t bother her with the details of these letters. We’ll tell her tomorrow when she’s at least feeling a little better. Agreed?” Cam said.

“Agreed.” Everyone but Brielle answered.

“Brielle can you hear yo? You
’re so good at keeping secrets you should be able to keep one last one.” Cam spit.

“Yo Cam, chill out.” Kiy intervened.

“No it’s okay Kiy. I deserve that.” Brielle said.

“I don’t care. Cam you need to calm down.” Kiyan said to his boy.

“Yeah iight. I’ll come down when your girl stops keeping important shit away from us.” Cam said getting off the elevator and began walking towards Danielle’s room.

“Hey,” Danielle smiled at her friends as they walked in.

“Hey girlie. How are you feeling?” Sabriya ran up to the bed.

“
Ew, were you crying because you look worse than I feel?” Danielle said Brielle.

“Yeah I was. Only because I was worried about you.” Brielle confessed.

“Don’t worry about me you know I’m not going any where.” Danielle smiled.

“Don’t scare us like that. I don’t know what I would have done without you.” Chloe cried. She was definitely the baby of the group.

“Don’t cry Chlo. I’m okay. I promise.” Danielle said.

“Okay.” Chloe wiped her face.

“Well damn, y’all don’t have to speak.” Danielle teased Kiyan, Zo, Keem, Ty and Cam.

“Wassup Ma?” Cam kissed her.

“When can I go home?” Danielle asked getting straight to the point refusing to believe she had to stay there.

“Well damn.” Zo joked.

“I’m serious. I hate hospitals and I feel better already.” Danielle pleaded.

“Get out the bed then.” Kiyan challenged.
              Danielle tried to sit up, but was stopped short when the pain shot through her rib caged.

“Yeah iight, you will be right here.” Cam said.

“But I don’t want to stay here. It’s freezing and it has that weird hospital smell. Can you take me home? I promise I won’t get out of the bed.” Danielle begged.

“I’ll take you home.” Cam said.

“CAM!” Ty yelled.

“Ty hush. Cam can you get my purse, I’m ready.” Danielle smiled.

“I’m going to take you home as soon as the doctor discharges you.” Cam said sternly.

“There is no telling when that is going to be.” Danielle pouted.

“Two days. I already spoke with the doctor.” Cam said.

“Oh boy, I’m going to die in here.” Danielle exaggerated.

“You’ll live.” Shanice joked.

“Well since I’m obviously not leaving, can y’all at least ask about some heat in this room?” Danielle asked.

“We’re about to leave out so we’ll ask on the way out.” Kiyan said to Danielle.

“Get some rest. We’ll be back tomorrow.” The girls and guys said.

“I will. Love y’all.” Danielle laid back down.

“We love you too.”
Keem said.

“I guess you’re stuck with me.” Cam smiled.

“I rathered be stuck with you than anybody else.”

“You sure about that?”

“I’m positive, but I hope you have something to keep you company because the meds have kicked in and my eyes are closing as I speak.” Danielle smiled.

“Go ahead and go to sleep. I’ll be here when you wake up.” Cam said kissing her and began laughing. “I need to get your ass some
chapstick because your lips are ashy yo.”

“Shut up punk.” Danielle said drifting to sleep.

Chapter 33

You think everything is a fucking game, somebody got hurt because you think life is a joke.” –Kiyan

“You know that we need to talk right?” Kiyan asked Brielle while lying in Brielle’s bed.

“About what?” Brielle said sliding under the comfortable.

“Aye Bri, stop trying to act clueless. About these damn notes you’ve been getting and how you’ve been keeping that shit a secret.”

“Kiyan can you please yell at me tomorrow. I have a headache and I’m really not trying to go there tonight.” Brielle said turning away from him.

“Iight cool, you call me when you ready to talk.” Kiyan said getting out the bed and putting his clothes on.

“Is it really that serious Kiy?” Brielle said sitting up.

“Yeah it is. You think everything is a fucking game, somebody got hurt because you think life is a joke.” Kiyan said tying his boots.

“Kiyan did I say that? Don’t put words in my mouth.”

“Actions speak louder than words. You need to grow the hell up. You think your shit doesn’t stink yo, but it does. All this time you were holding this shit in, Danielle could of ended up dead because of you.”

“Don’t go there. I apologized. I know I messed up, but don’t continue to throw that shit in my face. You think I don’t feel like shit knowing that my best friend is in the hospital because of me.”

“Well obviously you don’t feel bad enough. You can’t even sit here and explain to me why the hell you couldn’t tell me. Here I am thinking we were better than that, but the truth always comes out sooner than later. You don’t care about nobody but yourself. You need to stop and stare in the mirror because you’re not who you thought you were. You don’t know shit about loyalty.” And with that he walked out of her room and her house.

After Kiyan left, Brielle felt terrible. She knew deep inside that everything Kiyan said was true. She said the same thing to herself. But it sounded worse hearing it out loud and coming from someone she loved. She knew that tonight could have ended way worse than it did. Danielle could have been dead because of her and she felt terrible.

Brielle grabbed her phone off her nightstand and dialed Kiyan’s number. After the third ring, she knew he wouldn’t pick up the phone. When he left her house, he was in a really bad mood and he had every right to be. She decided to send him a text.

Brielle: Babe, I’m sorry. Everything you said is true. Can you please come back?

              After waiting twenty minutes for him to return her text, Brielle drifted off to sleep. She hoped that tomorrow Kiyan would return her phone call, but she wasn’t a hundred percent sure that he would.

~~~~~

              Kiyan was pissed. The one thing he asked Brielle for in the beginning of not only their relationship, but also their friendship was for her to trust him. She didn’t even trust him enough to let him know that her life was being threatened.

             
He had seen her calling, but he didn’t answer her because he knew that it would only end in an argument that he wasn’t trying to have. Brielle was wrong and if she thought that they were going to kiss and makeup then she would be disappointed. He drove in the direction of the bar. He needed a drink. All Brielle’s extra bullshit had him in a mood that he wanted nothing to do with. He saw the text message Brielle sent him, but just turned his phone off. He definitely didn’t want to be bothered with any more drama tonight.

~~~~~

              Danielle sat up in the bed drinking the grape soda that Shanice had bought her before the girls left. Cam had left to check on things at the studio. She hated being in the hospital; she might have hated it a lot less had she not been left alone. She just wanted to go home. She had mixed emotions on a lot of things and she felt she could handle them a lot better if she was in the comfort of her own house and bed.

             
Cam and the girls had told her about the details after her attack. She was shocked when they informed her about Brielle’s letters. She refused to feel any type of way about the situation. She knew there were always two sides of every story. She had heard Cam and the girls’ side and now all she needed was Brielle’s side.

“Hey,” Brielle smiled as she walked into Danielle’s hospital room with a huge teddy bear and balloons that read “Get Well Soon” on it.
