Trouble P3

TW: MENTION OF ABUSE

PART THREE ~ EXPLANATION:

"M-my dad abused me... Wh-when I was six, my mama left. That's when it started. At first, it w-wasn't that bad, but it got worse and worse... I eventually decided to run away when I was thirteen. I lived with my friend, Spencer (main character in All American), but I didn't wanna burden him and his family anymore, so I left when I was fifteen.

"That was when I started gettin' involved with a gang..." You looked down. "The only way to protect myself from 'em was to join 'em, so I did. I stole for 'em. I lied for 'em. I did some bad things. I met this guy, Shawn. He was kinda like my boss, you could say. He has a little daughter, Maya. That's who I was with today. I was babysitting' her while Shawn did who knows what..."

"I-..." JJ said. He didn't know what to say. "Thank you for the truth, (Y/n)... I-I wish you would have told me sooner and I would have helped..."

"There's nothin' you can do," you said. 

"You should live with John B. I'm sure he'd be fine with it."

"I'm just a burden," you said.

"No, you're not. Please, I want you to be safe."

"Too late for that! If I leave, Tyrone (basically leader of gang in All American) is gonna come for me! And what if he find out about you and then goes after you instead?! I can't handle that, JJ!"

"Who's Tyrone?"

"The leader of the gang. He don't play. The cops've been after him for a long time. He wouldn't hesitate if I left..."

"If the cops are after him, tell them where he is," JJ said.

"It don't work like that," you said. 

"Why the fuck not?! I want you to be safe, (Y/n). I need you to be safe!"

"I ain't safe if I snitch on Ty! Then it'll be even worse! They'll all be after me!"

"We have to do something!"

"No, we don't. It's fine, J. Don't worry about it..."

""Don't worry about it?!" How could I not worry about it?! You know how many people die from gangs?!"

"Yeah, I know. I can protect myself," you said coldly. 

"Apparently not well enough or you wouldn't even be involved with them!"

"I ain't leavin' and that's final," you said, beginning to walk off.

"(Y/n)! Wait!" JJ said, grabbing your wrist, which sent you into a minor panic because of your past. You flinched. 

"(Y/n)..." JJ said. "I-I'm so sorry... I-... I'm just worried about you..."

"I-I know... I just... Nobody can do anything about it..."

"Th-there has to be something..."

"I mean, I could maybe try a bribe?" You said. 

"That's a good idea, I guess..." JJ said. 

"I would have to steal the money," you said. 

"Actually..." JJ said. You looked at him confused.
"What?"

"You missed some stuff today..." JJ said.
(this is the day when they went to Scooter's motel room and JJ stole the money and gun. i don't remember him doing anything with it. anyway...)
JJ pulled out a big wad of money. 

"What the fuck!" You yelled. You then realized the others probably heard.

"What the fuck," you said quieter. "Where the fuck did you get that?!"

"There was a motel room, and I'll explain later, okay? We need to get you away from that gang now, okay?"

"No. It has to be just me. They don't know you. It's gotta be me," you said.

"Fine. But take this," JJ said, grabbing a gun from his pocket and handing it to you. Your eyes widened. 

"Where the fuck did you get this?"

"Same place as the money, and like I said, I'll explain later," JJ replied. "Do you know how to use it?"

"Yeah, I've used a gun before," you said.

"Okay. I- I guess I'll see you later," JJ said. 

"Yeah. I'll be back soon," you replied, starting to walk away. JJ stopped you by grabbing your wrist again. 

"Be careful."

"I will."
