Cali Kids: XOXO Sequel (The Ranger$) #Wattys2015

31: Julian

Dedicated to @jadriona. I did both essays but couldn't turn in 1 because fucking car troubles. Ugh, I stayed up to damn near 1:30 to finish that paper & just fuck! Anyways, i'm seriously considering skipping some chapters to the end but everything plays out to the ending so I think i'll keep them. Enough of my rambling, hope you enjoy this. Deuces!✌

"Neicey!", I yelled. I heard a thud before she came skipping into the kitchen. I really mean skipping too. "What?", she asked stopping in front of me. I raised a brow at her for bursting out laughing. I know she fell because after she usually fall & gets back up she rolls then skips.

It makes no sense but she's weird like that. "You burst yo' ass didn't you?", I asked hugging her to me. She wrapped her arms around my neck. "I don't know what you mean", she responded smiling at me. I pecked her lips, "Stop all that extra stuff. You're pregnant & that's not good for the baby", I told her. She rolled her eyes, "I'm still in my first trimester so chill. I've had already 4 big headed ass kids already so I know", she responded.

"Whatever. So what were doing that I couldn't find you when I came home?", I asked. She smiled, "Making a twerk video down in the basement", she responded. I narrowed my eyes at her, "Really? And what did you do in this video Alana?", I asked. Her smile turned into a smirk. "You'll have to see when I upload it to your YouTube account", she responded. I licked my lips, "So I can't get a preview, just a lil sneak peak of it?", I asked.

She put her hands on her hips, "This is not a street corner or Thotville, USA. Julian. You know damn well I wasn't making a twerk video for YouTube", she  responded. I shrugged, "You could've you know you get down NeNe", I said without thinking. "So i'm a hoe now Alexander?", she asked. I sighed, " Stop. I didn't say that", I responded. She glared at me, "I get down don't I though?", she asked. I groaned, "You know your ass a freak Neicey", I said. Wrong answer apparently.

She slapped me & stormed off talking shit about me with me following behind her like a lost puppy. I hate these fucking mood swings bro. "Neicey you're bugging. I never called you a hoe while though putting words in my mouth", I snapped being fed up with her shit. She turned around with her fists balled up so tight at her sides. "You fucking implied it", she yelled. I rolled my eyes, "Take your overly emotional ass to bed. I'm going outside", I told her. She didn't say anything but she did what I told her to.

I went outside like I told her I was & smoked me a blunt. When I went back into the house to our room she was on the phone & pacing on her side of the bed. I didn't say anything though. I went in the bathroom & took a quick shower. When I came out the bathroom she was still on the phone but she had on a pair of a pair of black basketball shorts & a black wife beater with black Adidas running shoes. "Yeah, i'll be there in a few minutes... 5 tops... Keep me updated, bye", she said then hung up.

"Who was that?", I asked watching her get down & get under the bed. "Angel", she responded. "What'd devil do now?", I asked. She didn't responded until she got up off the floor. "She needs my help with something i'll be back in a few hours", she responded going into the closet. She's up to something.

I hummed, "Why she need your help so late at night?", I questioned. She came out the closet a minute later wearing a backpack. I raised a brow, "Why you need a backpack?", I asked. She rolled her eyes, "To carry my shit. Anymore questions before I go?", she asked looking irritated. I was checking my phone by this point but put it on the bed when I got up to get dressed. "Yeah, why didn't you tell me that our kids snuck the Fuck outta the house & are somewhere running from bullets?", I responded pissed the hell off that she was trying to downplay the shit.

I looked at her & she already knew that her ass was in for it when we got back home. "Your backpack got guns & ammunition in it don't it?", I asked. She sighed nodding her head. I hummed pulling my shirt on. After I was done putting on my shoes I grabbed my phone & keys off the bed before grabbing her arm pull her with me to the car. Once we got on the road I glanced over at her looking out the passenger side window.

"Why didn't you think that I needed to know what was going on?", I asked. She didn't say anything. "Alana fucking answer me before I smack the shit out of you. So if I were you i'd start pleading my fucking case", I said through clenched teeth. I glanced her way again & she wasn't even looking at me. I pulled over & reached over grabbing her by the hair turning head so she was looking at me. "Alana", I said through clenched teeth.

"Get your fucking hand off of me Alexander", I responded calmly. I wasn't stupid. I knew she was mad but she has no right to be. Regardless of how mad she might be, she doesn't hold a candle to me right now. "Answer me", I said just as calmly. We stared at each other eyes narrowed ready for a fight.

"Answer. Me.", I said again. "Get. Your. Hand. Off. Of. Me. Alexander", she responded. I know I promised to never put my hands on her again but I slapped her. She cried out but I didn't care. "Y-you hi-hit m-me", she stuttered. "Why didn't you tell me? Did you think I wouldn't care about my kids' safety? What the fuck is your problem Alana!? When we get home you're sleeping in the guestroom because I can't deal with you tonight", I snapped completely ignoring what she said.

She shook her head sniffing. "Let's go find the kids", she muttered. I don't know what I wanted her to say but that wasn't it. I sighed feeling tired. I put the car in drive & focused on driving & finding the kids. Her phone went off a few minutes later & she answered.

She froze. I think she stopped breathing too. "Are you sure?", she asked. She looked like she was about to burst out crying so I took her hand into mine intertwining our fingers to give her some comfort. To let her know that although i'm mad as hell at her that i'm still here right beside her. "Whi-which one?", she asked. She nodded, "Ok", she mumbled before bursting out in tears.

"Neicey, baby what's wrong?", I asked parking on the side of the road. She shook her head squeezing the shit out of my hand & rubbed her stomach. She's not showing yet but I think she did it to comfort herself. "One of the kids were shot Julian. Th-they don't kn-know which one i-it was. What if it's one of my babies Julian? What if they're dying? I can't lose another child. I can't mentally take it Julian", she cried.

I kissed her to calm her down some. She kissed me back & we just kissed for a minute until I felt she was calm enough & broke it. I kissed her on the cheek where I slapped her & pecked her lips before driving us to the nearest hospital. The entire way there we held hands. I was praying that whoever it was that they were ok. Regardless of it being my own or not, I love those kids & I don't want any of them leaving us anytime soon.
