bottle in her hand.
I snatched her by the arm, “C’mon!” we made our way back to our section to get Raquel and she wasn’t there. Marlon was sitting there by himself.
“What are you doing?” I asked him.
“Waiting on you, I need to talk to you.”
“No, Marlon,” I was looking everywhere and didn’t see Raquel at all.
“Are you looking for your friend?”
“Yes, where did she go?”
“You sure you don’t wanna talk to me for a minute—”
“No, Marlon! Now where did she go!” he pointed to the door. “She left?” I asked him.
“Yea, her and some dude,” he said.
Some dude? I grabbed Jill’s hand and we hurried to the exit. When we got outside no one was there. The street was empty.
“Raquel!” I yelled, “Raquel!” I yelled again, but no one answered.
“Let’s check down here,” Jill said. “She can’t be too far.”
We walked down the block and around the corner, and stopped at a small parking lot.
“You hear that?” I asked Jill. It sounded like someone was screaming for help. A few seconds later, it got louder.
Help! Get off me! Help!
“It’s coming from over there!” Jill pointed to the back of the small parking lot and we ran over there; heels on and all.
I could hardly see in the dark. But as soon as I saw that shoe, I knew my girl was in trouble. Jillian must have seen it at the same time I did, because when I looked to my right, she was kicking out of her shoes, running towards Raquel and her assailant with a knife in her hand.
“Help!” Raquel screamed.
Jill jumped on the man’s back and all I saw was her hand going up and down. She was plunging his chest with the knife in her hand. Blood was everywhere. I grabbed Raquel’s arm and the three of us ran to my car, got in and left the scene. The last thing I remember is him collapsing to the ground, holding his chest.

Following the incident at Sues, we stayed low and hid out for a few days. No one knew who the guy was and honestly, we didn’t care. The only thing we were worried about was repercussions from the law, but as soon as I spoke to Simeon, he let me know what the word on the streets was.
He called me and told me the police weren’t launching an investigation into the murder because they felt the guy got what he deserved. The entire incident was caught on camera. I was relieved about us not being pursued by authorities, but I was devastated because my friend had been raped.
Raquel hadn’t said much since it happened, and I only heard from Jill twice after that night. The whole situation was like a horrible dream that I couldn’t wake up from. I had barely gotten any sleep, and my nerves were a wreck. Every time I closed my eyes I saw visions of his face, and I could hear his screams. It was a terrifying experience. One I wished would have never happened.
I was staying in Mount Vernon at my grandmother’s house, getting some quality time in with the family. After you experience death in the fashion that I did, you begin to appreciate what you have. I was starting to realize how much I was taking the small things for granted. That shit woke me up to a lot. It was time I re-evaluated my life. How long could I keep this pace? How much more could I endure? I had some thinking to do.
“Sis, you still taking me out to drive?” Dorian broke my trance when he walked into the living room.
I looked at my little brother and smiled. “Yes, Dorian, are you ready?”
“Yeah, I’ll meet you at the car,” he said.
I forgot I was showing Dorian how to drive today. It slipped my mind. Lately, a lot of things had been slipping my mind. Sometimes I felt I was someplace else, drifting in my thoughts.
I snatched my keys and walked out to the car. I took Dorian to the Boulevard to see if all of his ‘I’ma nice driver’ talk was for real, and to
