jamal turner - on my block

chapter twenty

Cesar did the job and we started driving out of there. The guys moved as we drove away and they kept watching us.

We drove off and started laughing.

Later that day Jamal and Ruby were at our house.

Ruby, Jamal, Cesar, Oscar and I were sitting at the table. Ruby was on call with Monse and she was listening to the conversation.

"No I'm not good. You gave our Rollerworld money to the prophets." Jamal said

I closet the fridge door and opened my pop (soda). I sat down on Jamals lap.

"Nope. I'm gave them the marked bills from the Freeridge savings robbery." Oscar said as Ruby and Jamal felt relieved

"Oh thank god! For a second I thought you gave our money away." Jamal said calming down

"No no I didn't give your money away. You gave your money away and now it's mine." Oscar said smiling

"RUBY turn me to Jamal" Monse said through the phone

Ruby turned the phone on Jamal and I.

"I said Jamal not Jade" Monse said getting mad

Jamal sat up and put his chin on my shoulder so she could see him.

"Am I hearing this correctly? You used all of our money for nothing? Even my 50K?" Monse asked getting mad at Jamal

"Uh it wasn't for nothing. It was for Cesar and yes even your 50K." Jamal said mimicking Monse at the end

"Turn me to Spooky" Monse said as Jamal turned the phone to Cesar

"More I still can see him" Monse said as I turned the phone to Oscar

"Spooky. I did not sign off of my 50 grand that I'd give to you. Could you just be decent and give it back?" Monse asked

"No" Oscar said as I laughed a little but me also knowing Monse is going to through another tantrum

"THIS IS BULLSHIT" Monse yelled through the phone

"Look on the bright side. Cesars alive." Oscar said smiling

"Hooray! Turn me to him." Monse said while Oscar turned the phone on Cesar and Cesar kept shaking his head no

"You might be alive but you're dead to me" Monse said always doing this bullshit she does

"Monse shut the hell up. All you do is complain complain complain and it's getting annoying. Yeah Cesar hooked up with the girl from his work but while you were playing kissy face with Cesar how do you think Olivia felt? I mean they were dating at the time and when Cesar hooked up with the girl you guys were even dating. You broke up with him so why should you care? Not to mention that you even ghosted him for a month while he sat there thinking about you 10 thousand times a day and not once did you text him until the night that he hooked up with the girl." I said accidentally saying what I was thinking

Cesar looked at me with that stupid face he does all the time.

"Monse.. I am so-" Cesar started saying and she hung up

"Dead" He said

"Spooky.. do you really think giving the prophets a bunch of marked bills was wise? Once one of their guys get arrested then they'll know it was you." Ruby said

They kept talking until Jamal and Oscar started arguing.

Jamal took his hands of my waist and slammed his hands on the table. He grabbed my waist and took me off of him and then left.

"Come on Ruby" He said leaving

"But we haven't eaten yet" Ruby said probably starving

Ruby followed Jamal outside. I looked out the window and watched them argue like 6 year olds fighting over toy figures. I started laughing just watching them.

I sat back down and Oscar got a beer for himself, Cesar and I.

They started talking to each other.

Later that night I was outside with Oscar and the Santos.

Monse added Ruby and I in a call with Jamal and her.

"Uh shit.. I'll be back" I said walking inside to answer the phone

Monse is making Ruby, Jamal and I choose over Cesar and her.

After she hung up the phone I called Jamal.

"Girl what? Let me get back to my soothing stuff." Jamal said

"I'm not choosing. Cesar is my brother and I would never betray him. Monse is a good friend but if I had to choose I would choose Cesar."

"I'm not choosing. Now goodnight Jade." Jamal said

"Goodnight Jamal" I hung up the phone and went back outside

Later after school the next day I walked into Ruby's house.

I walked in his room and he was on the phone.

"Hey Jade"

"Hey Ruby" I said sitting down on his bed

He was on the phone with Jamal I could hear it. I went on my phone and scrolled through Instagram.

They hung up and Ruby and I hung out all day.

The next night I was outside with Cesar and the Santos.

Cesar saw Monse and went to talk to her.

We all went inside to let them have space.

We all were sitting in the living area (living room and kitchen). Jamal started calling me.

"Hey Jamal" I said happily

"I need to talk to you. Come over please." He said hanging up the phone

"Who was that?" Oscar asked getting a drink out of the fridge

"Uh just Jamal. I have to go to his house.. I'll probably spend the night there." I said walking to the door

"Have fun" He said smiling

I walked outside and saw Monse and Cesar talking.

I ignored them and went to Jamals house.

I knocked on the door and Jamal opened it. He kissed me and said..

"Jade.. will you be my girlfriend?"

"Yes" I said smiling

He grabbed my waist and started making out with me. We went into his bedroom and slammed the door. He started taking off his clothes and mine.

The next morning.. I woke up and Jamal was getting ready for the day. He had a Tommy Hilfiger hoodie on and it was purple. He had blue jeans on and some shoes. He had clothes on the bed for me it was a black Tommy Hilfiger hoodie, some shorts and shoes.

"Oscar dropped some clothes off last night after you fell asleep" Jamal said putting on cologne

I looked at my phone and had a text from Oscar.

"I hope you had fun last night 😉"

"I hate you so much Oscar. 😂" I texted back

We grabbed our backpacks and met up with Ruby and Monse.

Ruby put his hands in front of us as tons cops went past.

After school Jasmine showed us a video of the Prophets being arrested.

"Wow they even got Latrelle" Oscar said surprised

We started walking home and we all were talking.

Monse started fighting with all of us.

She started walking away talking to herself and people had put bags over our head and put us in their van. Then they put Monse in the van.

"Jamal?" I whispered

He was right next to me. We started holding hands hoping we don't die.
