Please Remember Me

Chapter 33

You learn more about a person at the end of a relationship than at the beginning.

Jordan POV

Everyone came to my house once Felix got out the hospital. She wasn't in much of a party mood.

I sat with my mom as we watched everyone crowd around Felix. She wasn't feeling that crowd neither. Typical Fe.

"So what I need to do?" I asked my mom. She ate her grapes and studied Felix.

"You don't do anything." She said. I frowned.

"What?! So we just gone let Duke go?!" I whispered yelled.

"No." She said calmly.

"Ma." Felix called and looked dead at my mom.

"Yes honey?" Ma got up and ran to Felix's side.

"Can I go lay down?" She asked. My dad came to the rescue. He picked Fe up bridal style and carried her upstairs.

I looked at Carly, who was staring back. A week ago she kissed me. And to be honest I didn't like that shit at all. I like boys and she know that!

"Can we talk?" She whispered in my ear. I didn't even know she was that close to me.

"About?" I tried not to make eye contact with her.

"About us." She grabbed my hand. I looked down at our connected hands and looked back at her.

"K." I lead her upstairs to my room and closed the door behind us.

"You still like Channing Tatum." She admired a poster of him on my wall.

"That's bae." I smirked.

"I know." She turned to me. I've never been so uncomfortable in another bitch's presence. But when I'm in this bitch's presence I feel utterly uncomfortable!

"So what did you really want to talk about?" I asked her.

"I can do things for you that no nigga, not even Mir and Josh, could do." She said so seriously.

"Like what Carly? Because believe it or not Josh pleases me. I love him." I assured her.

"Well why you still holding my hand?" I looked down at our still connected hands.

Amir POV

I sat in the living room with Keith and Josh. We were them boys before Jordan came back. Now we barely talk.

"Y'all hungry?" Mrs. Collins asked.

"So you could poison me." Keith mumbled. Mrs. Collins stared at him.

"Do you know me or something...little boy." Mrs. Collins crossed her arms. At this point Mr. Collins was down stairs and stood by his wife's side.

"I know you tried to kill my mom!" Keith said boldly.

"Chill out." Josh mumbled.

"Naw man! Ain't nobody tell Mr. and Mrs. Smith here to chill out!" He stood up and got so close to Mrs. Collins.

"You better bag out my wife's face boy." Mr. Collins touched his gun at his waist.

Keith bagged away and nodded his head as if he understood how they were now.

"Just tell Fe to call me." He left out and slammed the door.

"I try to stay out of jail." Mrs. Collins shook her head and walked back in the kitchen with her husband following behind her.

I was now left with Josh.

He pretended to text on his phone as the silence filled the room.

"You know something.." He finally looked up from his phone.

"What?" I mumbled.

"My parents are in jail and I wanted to tell my best friend, but I remembered we weren't cool anymore." He shook his head.

I did not know his folks were in jail. I feel so bad for my homie.

"Damn Josh. I ain't know man." I said. I moved over to his side of the couch and bowed my head with him.

"So what I'm gone do?" He sniffed as if he was silently crying.

"Pray." I put my hands together and said a prayer for him. He needs it more than anything.

Felix POV

I lied in my room watching Spongebob. I don't want to be bothered right now. My foster dad damn near killed me the other day.

I still have flashbacks of that day. The day he made me choke on my own blood. The day my heart skipped a beat. The day that my vision got blurry.

Could a person hate someone so badly that they want to kill them?

That's how I felt when Duke kept throwing blows to my used to be flawless face. The doctor said I may have some permanent scars on my face.

I got a few stitches in my face! Stitches! That shit ain't going away!

I rolled over and stared at the white wall. I was supposed to be dead...
