A Struggle Within Itself

Chapter 10

Genniffer's Pov

The football tryouts was cool. Afterwards I headed back to Jaylen's house. We laid up in his room and watched TV.

"So how's it been going with Treyvian?" I asked.

"It's going good. We got a little thing going. Were definitly pulling in some money." Jaylen answered.

"Do you guys ever talk about me?"

"Not really. But if we do it's about Trey telling me to stay my ass away from you." I laughed and gave Jaylen a kiss.

"Well what do you say about me?" I gave Jaylen another kiss.

"I say your a pretty ass girl and that's the thing. I wanna talk to you about something."

"Uh oh this don't sound good." I giggled. I already knew what Jaylen was going to ask me. I'm not dumb, were over his house kissing. Of course he was going to ask me out.

"Gen I want ask yo-" Jaylen was interrupted by his phone. It was a text from Treyvian. Jaylen read it and then got up from the bed.

"What does Trey want?" I asked.

"He said that he needs him to go help him out with a pick up." Jaylen aent into his closet and grabbed his jacket. Fear ran through my mind. After what Treyvian had said about the gangs and selling drugs. I've been scared that one of them might get hurt or even killed or something.

" No don't go."

"Why not?"

"Because.... I want you to stay and hang out with me." I lied. Truth is the thought of Jaylen or Trey going down selling drugs terrified me. Or even getting putnin jail if they get caught. I loved them both way too much for something like that to happen.

"Tuh your funny you know I got to make this money! Plus I don't wanna dis your brother. He might kill me or something crazy. We can hangout later." Jaylen zipped up his jacket and started going to the door. I got up and grabbed his arm to stop him.

"Jaylen no please don't go. After what Treyvian said about only two ways of leaving the drug game.... I can't take that chance. What if you got shot or something? Maybe this isn't such a good idea."

"Gen lets leave the 'what ifs' for fairytales. Stop being so scared. Selling drugs ain't new to me. Nor your brother. We know what were doing." Jaylen started to get angry and headed for the stairs and pulled on his arm.

" Jaylen stop!" Jaylen threw my arm off of him.

"Get the fuck off me." I gave Jaylen a vexxed look. I only cared for his safety. I didn't want to end up loosing him like I lost Treyvian. I didn't want to loose him completely.

Flashback

"Get the fuck off me!" Jaylen shoved me off of him. I turned my head and looked out the school bus window.

"Look I'm sorry I went to Kobe's house instead of going to tour football game. I had to practice for the auditions you know that. You want me sing during the halftime show don't you?" Jaylen ignored me. I looked at Brian from across me and Jaylen's seat. "He won't talk to me." I started to tear up. I know recently I have been taking some serious time out of Jaylen to practice for the auditions.
I just wanted to sing and beat those fake ass Plastics.

When we got off the bus Jaylen grabbed my hand and dragged me around the school. I just let him do it. Weirdly enough, evem though he was mad at me. He still wanted me to hold his hand and walk with him. We walked into the school. We eventually went our separate ways and went to first period.
