I woke up in a room covered with black tarps "How you like it, baby?" he held his shit, I lifted my eyebrow "Hispanic"

he got mad and punched me I squeezed my eyes shut and groaned "I'll change your mind, very fucking soon"

he picked me up and threw me on the floor, later breaking the chair "NO" he chuckled and unbuckled his belt,

my heart was racing "DON'T OR I SWEAR I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU" He ignored me and continued...

it was a horrific experience "You know you liked it, whore" he left me naked... after a few minutes I put my clothes back on

I laid there crying my eyes out non-stop, I bet my eyes were red and puffy I sat on the corner already planning all the shit I'm gonna do to him

The door opened and "Cesar?" the guy threw him in and he grunted, "Holy shit what are you doing here?"

he looked at me as shocked as I am "We were looking everywhere for you" I shrugged "Well here I am BORED OUTTA MY MIND"

I had to put up a front I can't let anyone know what happened "Anyway what the fuck are you doing here?"

he got up and before he could answer the door opened "Stand up, both of ya'll" I stood up "Get up Cesar"

"Look a man in the eye when he talkin' to you" He slowly got up and turned around "Tell me little spooky"

Prophet ~ What do you think a man is? Are you a man?

Cesar ~ I know I am

P ~ Nah, a man don't snitch

Jazmyn ~ What is he talking about?

P ~ The only thing worse than a Santo is a snitch and you BOTH, So get back on your knees like the bitch you are and start praying

J ~ FUCK YOU BITCH

P ~ Again?

C ~ What is he talking about?

P ~ LET'S DO THIS

my heart jumped as I heard the back door opened, we both turned around to see Oscar, I wanted to run and hug him so bad

"Yo spooky, while you paying to save your brother and your bitch, he, rat you out" I looked at Cesar with wide eyes

"So now we got your money... and his money, we know about the stash house on Hardy" umm what? Hardy?

"And who, your, connect is" his laugh gave me horrifying chills "IT'S GONNA BE A GOOOD DAY" Oscar came in,

he punched Cesar on the stomach and I gasped "CESAR" he groaned trying to catch his breath "We done?"

I held him "Hey are you okay?" he coughed "Cash is all here" Oscar quickly turned around grabbing him by the back of his collar,

as he grabbed my hand forcing us out of the house "Pleasure doing business with you" we walked out of the driveway

"Don't say anything, not a damn thing" he pushed Cesar and let me go as we got in the car I sat in the back as Cesar sat on the passenger seat

once we passed all of them Oscar took a quick glance over his shoulder and turned back, they looked at each other and started laughing

J ~ What the fuck is so funny?

C ~ Oh right, so we found the roller world money and washed it all, the gang tried to buy me back in but it didn't work so instead we gave the Prophets all the dirty money

O ~ And we, mi amor get to keep the clean money

C ~ Plan was I strapped 50 on me to protect the gang and yourself while I also"Rat" Oscar out

O ~ Cuchillos called the Prophets' OG, we had a meeting, I bought his protection

J ~ Wow...

C ~ the Prophets having the dirty money... we can take them down and the plan worked so far

J ~ Goodie...

C ~ Hey, Jaz what did he mean back there when he said ag-

I quickly put on music "Nothing I just want to enjoy that we're free and my favorite song" I sang it all the way back home,

well his house, where we saw Jamal and Ruby outside, he parked the car, and I jumped to the front making my way out

Surprisingly I didn't hurt anyone or anything "What are you two doing here?" Ruby hugged me "Oh you're alright that's good"

I hugged him back but I didn't want to let him go "Umm Jazmyn" I felt tears coming "Jazmyn I can- can't bre- breathe"

I quickly let him go "My bad" I felt a hand on my back and I jumped turning around "Whoa, jumpy it's just me, you alright?"

I smiled and nodded "Yeah, let's go inside" he tried leaning in but I gave him my cheek and quickly walked inside

"Hey, do you guys want me to make agua chiles?" Oscar hugged me from behind and I got very uncomfortable

but I have to pretend "Yeah, baby I'll make the ceviche" I faked laughing "Alright um can Rio go to the store, or do we already have everything?"

he kissed my cheek "Nah, babe don't worry we got everything here" I breathed out shakenly "Okay let's get started then"

I pulled away and started preparing everything as he did as well once we were finished I served everyone "Enjoy"

I saw Jamal looking furious "Are you good?" Oscar came with tostadas and sat next to me, also cutting lime

Jamal ~ No, I'm not good Spooky gave our Rollerworld money to the PROPHETS

O ~ No, I gave them the marked bills from the Freeridge Savings robbery

Jamal ~ Oh, thank God for a second I thought you gave our money away

O ~ No, no I didn't give your money away...

J ~ Oscar

O ~ You gave your money away and now it's ours

M ~ RUBY turn me to Jamal... am I hearing this correctly you used all of our money for nothing? even my 50K?

Jamal ~ Uh it wasn't for nothing it was for Cesar and yes even your 50K

J ~ Wait ya'll found the money? sorry continue

M ~ Turn me to Spooky... more I still can see him... Spooky I did not sign off my 50 grand of that gift to you, can you just be decent and give it back?

O ~ No

M ~ This is bullshit

O ~ Look on the bright side Cesar's alive

M ~ HURRAY pass me to Jazmyn

J ~ Hello

M ~ Can you convince Spooky for my share?

J ~ Sorry I can't

M ~ Turn me to Cesar

C ~ No, no

M ~ You might be alive but you're dead to me

C ~ Monse I am so... dead

J ~ What did you do to her?

R ~ He cheated on her while they were on their little break with a girl at work

J ~ Oh... wait- nevermind doesn't matter

R ~ Spooky, do you think giving the Prophets a bunch of marked money bills was wise?

J ~ Ruby, you're not going to change his mind

R ~ No, listen once one of their guys gets arrested, then they'll know it was you and by extension us

O ~ They would never connect it to you

J ~ Gracias a Dios

Jamal ~ I still don't understand why you needed to cheat us

O ~ I didn't, I did exactly what you wanted I saved Cesar and my girl

Jamal ~ Okay

J ~ Excuse you?

Jamal ~ No offense, but you knew you were gonna do that before you took our cash

O ~ And your point is?

J ~ Jamal...

Jamal ~ Taking our money is unscrupulous

O ~ How many times do I have to spell this out for you? your money is actually my money it belongs to the Santos

Jamal ~ Oh really you want to play that game? well if you want to get into logistics it's really Prophets money, that you stole from, US

R ~ Well, actually it's a bunch of random people's money who paid way too much for a bad concert

Jamal ~ SHALAMAR'S THE SHIT these probably didn't pay enough

O ~ Relax we're not gonna forget you helped us

Jamal ~ I don't care about your goodwill I WANT MY MONEY

O ~ But I cooked for you

Jamal ~ You made CEVICHE okay? the juice does all the cooking

J ~ You're really tipping me off Jamal

Jamal ~ I'm sorry, come on Ruby

R ~ Uh... but we haven't eaten yet

Jamal ~ NOW

"I SWEAR JAMAL, YOU WON'T BOSS MY LITTLE BROTHER ARE YOU ASKING FOR A ASS BEATING? CUZ I'LL GIVE ONE YOU'LL FUCKING REMEMBER"

Oscar stood up and pulled me back they all looked at me with wide eyes "Get out of here, you can take it, Ruby"

my little brother just stood there and took the plate "I'll see you at home or yours Jazzy it's okay" I pulled away,

and walked towards him "I love you hermanito, ten mucho cuidado okay?" he nodded "Of course, I love you too"

I hugged him and let him go "Can I rest in your bed? please?" I looked at Oscar "Por su puesto mi amor go right ahead"

I walked towards him and gave him a quick kiss "Thank you, love you babe" before he could answer I left

I woke up in the middle of the night gasping for air, oh hell no, I touched my forehead and I was sweating

I quickly walked into the bathroom and saw a big bruise, I had to cover it with makeup and I will until it was gone,

I out of his room I looked around but saw no one... what the fuck "Hey" I heard footsteps enter the house from the front door

"What are you doing up?" I ran and hugged him "Please, don't ever leave me alone" he hugged me tightly

tears fell quickly "Jazmyn?" I looked at my girls and felt joy I looked at Oscar and he gave me a kiss before letting me go

"Go in the room" I grabbed their hands and walked to the room closing the door "Sit please" they looked at me worried

B ~ So what's up?

L ~ Yeah, what's with you we haven't heard of you in what seems like years

J ~ I don't know...

B ~ You can tell us anything Jaz

J ~ Okay but don't tell anyone not even Oscar, please

B & L ~ Cross our heart

J ~ So yesterday last night Cesar came and talked to Oscar

B ~ Ohhh shit he's brave

L ~ Shush Blair

J ~ Yeah, well I got mad at Oscar for being so shady towards Cesar, I told them that Cesar could stay with me, and I walked away but the Prophets got me...

L ~ Oh hell no are you deadass?

J ~ Yeah

B ~ Fuckers

J ~ They took me to their place and one of them... um one of them raped me almost all night after a few minutes Cesar got there and he doesn't know nobody knows except you two now and I wanna keep it that way

they immediately hugged me "I'm so sorry that happened to you, my poor baby" I started crying letting everything go

"I promise that nasty fuck will pay for everything, don't worry we got you okay? we won't leave you alone, we're doing everything again babe"

I smiled "Thank you girls I love you both so much" we pulled away "When are you planning on telling Oscar?"

I panicked "No, he can't know, he won't know, no, I don't want him to know that's emba-" they motioned me to calm down

"Okay, it'll take time but what if he wants to do something you know" I shook my head "I already know what to do"

they nodded "Do you want us to stay?" I nodded "We'll be in the living room" I wiped my tears "Stay until I fall asleep"

The next day

"Hey, it's time for you to get up, it's back to school night and Ruby said he'll meet you there" I slowly woke up,

without opening my eyes "Dress me" I heard a lot of commotion and felt them undress me, they took me to my shower and showered me,

they clothed me, fed me, and took very good care of me "All done, let's go, I jumped on Luna's back as she walked me to the car

they got in, put on some music and after a while, we got there "Ruby" he turned around and hugged me

"Oh I love you" he smiled "I love you too, here come, look at this" he held my hand and led me to the group with Jasmine

They held the phone towards me "So like I was saying remember the robbery at Freeridge savings? the guys in the monster masks?"

I nodded "That money was marked and we've been tracking any money spent" ohhh shit, ohhhhohoh shit

"First, we caught Mr. Guiterrez in his liquor store with the dough, turns out that money was from a customer and when those marked bills started popping up all around town, right before the Prophets hood day, we were able to trace it right back to them so now the PROPHETS ARE NO MAS"

my heart clenched "All of them?" she looked at Ruby "HELL YEAH, we took 'em all down the prophets are Donezel Washington"

goosebumps all over "Oh shit" I felt my girls around me "Oh check out this link it's got the best footage"

she showed us and I saw the guy that raped me being detained pushed down on the pavement, I looked at my girls,

they got red "Wow they even got Latrelle" they all looked at Ruby "Yeah, he's going away for a long time"

my heart hurt more for my little brother "HEY, YO ESTEBAN WHY NO CALL BACK? I DON'T SEND PICS OF MY CHONIES TO NO PHONIES"

Ruby held my hand "How you feeling?" he walked forward "It's pretty surreal" he squeezed my hand pretty tightly

"I thought about this day for so long praying for revenge but this... this doesn't make me feel anything it's not gonna bring her back I mean what's the point of it all? Latrelle took a life, now his life's over, and look at us the second we're not worrying about Cesar's death or my sister's capture, we're sweating the small stuff, we lost sight of the bigger picture and how lucky we are to be alive and with each other I don't know how to explain how I feel but I do know... It's time to move on"

I nodded "I'm sorry Ruby but-" Monse interrupted me "Agreed I'm leaving Freeridge" my girls looked at me

I walked over really quick "We have to go" I frowned "Where?" they moved impatiently "The guys need us we'll be quick"

"Can I go?" Blair shook her head "No, you've been through too much just stay with Ruby, we promise we'll be quick"

they both smiled and kissed my cheeks "Okay, fine call me or text me if anything happens" they nodded and left, I walked back

Ruby shrugged "Good luck" Monse looked stunned "Okay? good luck?" Monse and I after that incident have not been the same

R ~ You've left before

Jamal ~ Writing camp, Brentwood this is schmuck bait you always come back

M ~ No this time, I'm gone for good things aren't the same around here and I think we've outgrown each other

Jamal ~ Ruby, Jaz what kind of snacks you guys got at home? did your mom get that spinach dip from Costco?

R ~ No better, she got the jalapeno artichoke

C ~ Oooh, that extra creamy one that you gotta use the thick chips for?

J ~ She picked those up too

M ~ I'm serious

Jamal ~ So are we that dip's bomb

M ~ Are you even listening to me?

J ~ We are we're just choosing to ignore you

M ~ Whatever, I'm really out of here, I'm done with gangs and the bullshit and the non-stop drama that you always get me into

R ~ Uh... we get you into?

M ~ Uh... yeah you

J ~ Wow, I should remind you that you made this whole Cesar thing a big deal, I kissed him and you got mad at me over one small kiss, I'm with his brother I mean I would get it if I stayed with Cesar but I didn't, and then he kissed Olivia and you got mad at him and then took him back like what? and then he "Cheated" on you with the bitch he worked with and now your uptight thinking "I need a better life for myself" if you're really trying to grow up to be mature, you'll stop being mad at me and Cesar, I don't blame him for cheating on you constantly, you're uptight, wanna be tough, bossy, and arrogant, if you really loved Cesar like I love his brother, you wouldn't play with his emotions like that, he's literally in love with you but you're so "Unsure" he's "not safe" Okay so if you really don't wanna be with someone in a gang tell him straight up and move on with someone who isn't don't be a big ass drama queen and BUH BYE

everyone just stared at me with their jaws on the floor "Tired of your bullshit ima go sit down" I walked away from them,

and sat on the bricks with the bushed brushing against my back, I heard them still arguing back and forth

I rolled my eyes and called Oscar but he didn't pick up so then I called Luna and nothing and then Rio and again nothing

I called Blair... nothing suddenly I felt someone grab me and covered my mouth I tried screaming and fighting but I knocked out...
