His Beast (Under Serious Editing )

Chapter 24

*Jabari POV*

I was sleep in my damn dream land when something started vibrating in my bed. I groaned rolling over and ignoring that shit. Eventually I fell back asleep only to wake up a hour later.

“Hello” I said through the phone sounding tired as fuck which I was might I add.

"Jabari my daughter didnt come home last night do you know where she could be" a man's voice came booming through my phone. It was Ameerah's dad. I jumped out the bed and headed to the closet to throw on some shoes and jogging pants not even worrying about a shirt.

"Didnt she have to work last night" I asked trying to suggest that maybe she worked late. But then that still wouldnt explain where she was at now. Ameerah always went straight home we didnt have any other family.

"Wait hold on someone is knocking at the door" her dad said and I waited patiently for him to come back to the phone. 

A good 10 minutes later he came back to the phone a different man." Jabari just meet us at Emory Memorial Hospital theres been an accident" he said before hanging up the phone and I ran straight towards my car not even bothering to tell my mama where I had went. 

I could only think of the worse as I drove down the streets dodging cars right and left. This was my only cousin. It was always just us. Neither of us had any siblings and we were fine because it was always just us. I couldnt say the same for now. She wasnt even talking to me right now and I couldnt even lie and say that I even made an attempt to reach out to her and rekindle our relationship towards each other as first cousins.

I had been so caught up with Jay and I didnt even stop and think on how this could affect Ameerah. I was all she had and I knew that. I was her only friend ever since the accident happening with her face. I wouldnt be able to live with myself if I knew something had happened to her without us being on good terms. 

A tear dropped out of my eye as I came to the realization that I had maybe spoken my last words to my cousin. "Fuck" I screamed as I banged the steering wheel.

This shit was so unbelievable. I pulled up to the hospital and rushed in towards the front desk. "Hey can you please tell me what room Ameerah Lopez is in" I asked the lady nicely hoping that she would go faster.

"Sorry sir you're going to have to wait in line" she said while smacking her gum ratchetly. "Look bitch my only could be on her death bed right now. I aint playing with you , give me the room number or you wont live to see tommorow" I threatned her. 

She rolled her eyes and eventually gave me the room number. I rushed towards the elevator and headed towards the 2nd floor.  I finally got to her room but stopped in the hallway to see her mom crying on her dad. I let go of the breath I never knew I was holding and walked up towards them.

"What happened" I whispered as I looked into their sad faces.

"They raped my baby" her mom screamed and my heart dropped along with my body. I was on the floor dry heaving. I never knew I could feel this way. I always walked around the school being cool and nonchalant but when it came to Ameerah I didnt play AT ALL. 

"Who did this" I asked and her mama just shook her head and wailed into her hands. She was crushed and I could tell. I would be too. This was her only child.

"Some punks, the police caught the one that couldnt get away and from what he's telling them there is another boy who went along with this sick shit.

I didnt need to hear another word and left the hospital heading to Keon's place. We was finna end the motherfuckers. How could they do this to her. Ameerah never messed with anybody. She barely talked.

I called his number repeatedly to see if he was at his crib. I drove over their anyway. I banged on the door and I was getting mad as hell because nobody was answering.

A lady came to the door wiping the sleep from her eyes. My eyes widened this must be his mom.

"I'm sorry for coming so early in the morning but I was wondering was Keon around" I asked and I could tell she was suprised at me especially because I didnt have on a shirt. I wasnt worried about that because all I wanted to do was catch the niggas that did this to my damn cousin.

"I'm sorry but Keon hasnt been home in about 2 months. But if you do find him can you please tell him to come home and talk to me" she said. I could tell she wanted to cry. I shook my head at her and blew breath out my mouth while stepping back in the car. This was some straight bullshit.
