It felt like months since I’d felt Makai against my skin. My craving increased as he spoke again.
“I’m tied up right now.”
“Come home, Makai.”
“After tonight, G.”
From the way he’d said my name, I felt the disconnection. I remained silent, not wanting to express how much I’d rather him call me something else and how much I wanted him in the bed we shared when I got home. I didn’t want to wonder if I’d find him there. He needed to be there.
“Get out ya head, aight? This shit almost over. I’m coming home, Mommas. I promise.”
“Where are you?”
“Putting an end to this shit.”
I swerved, avoiding the truck that was driving wildly beside me.
“My God, where’d these drivers get their license?”
“Where you at?” Makai questioned, suddenly sounding concerned.
“I don’t know the name of this—oh my God. They’re going to kill someone.”
“Where you at, Glacier?” he screamed in my ear.
“Makai, why are you yelling, baby?”
“Glacier!” He didn’t reduce the volume. In fact, he yelled louder. “Where you at?”
The swerving vehicle managed to get beside me again. Panic-stricken, I tried focusing on staying in my lane without falling victim to their carelessness. However, my efforts were in vain. My eyes darted from my lane to theirs, trying my hardest to keep a watchful eye. The window of the vehicle lowered, revealing the driver of the Toyota 4-Runner. My heart stopped.
“MAKAI.”
Suddenly, it was me yelling.
“Makai!”
“Get off, Glacier. Get off!”
“Where are you?”
“I’m positive I’m just behind you. Get off the fucking expressway, baby.”
“It’s hi—”
The force of impact slid my car across the expressway. My head collided with the steering wheel and everything around me blackened as gunshots rang out.

“Glacier!” The sound of Makai’s voice stirred me.
I opened my eyes, still disoriented and still losing consciousness.
“Ma—”
Words were beyond me. I went into total darkness, again.
