Birthday girl.

"Champion"

" Get the fuck up Juara!! " Jerome barked through his teeth as he walked into the room with the other women. I slowly got off the floor and rubbed my cheek. i could here the girls mumbling and snickering saying "juara fuck type of name is that?". I followed Jerome into the room and looked at each of the girls before saying " It means champion bitch." Most of the girls let out a gasp, but one girl emerged from the group of girls. She was close to my height, she had curly hair that fell over her shoulders. Her skin was a light caramel color with dark brown eyes. She was dressed in a pair of briefs and a blue-green sports bra. She walked over to me and we were toe to toe staring each other eye to eye. She clenched her jaw and calmly spoke " you growin' balls now, just a second ago you was over there gettin' yo ass beat, now you wanna get tough? huh champ... Imma let you know right now you don't want this problem. Gettin' my message tramp?"
She backed away then pushed her way back through the crowd of girls. I could feel Jerome chuckling in the backgroud. For the second time today i felt so embarrassed and out of place.

I felt as though i would never escape this. Would anybody come and save me, would somebody even notice i was gone. I started to walk away but i felt a tug at my side, it was Jerome . Jerome grabbed my arm firmly and started to pull me. i stumbled a bit as we walked down a narrow hallway with several cracks and holes in the wall. He shoved me in a room with two beds in it. The beds were dressed with a light blue sheet and a thin green cover with a thin pillow on both. " this where you sleepin' tonight. no more problems outta you tonight or you goin' up first". He reached into my pockets and took everything out of them confiscating my keys and my phone. " wont be needing any of this".

i turned towards Jerome and looked at him, seeing that he still had a cold look on his face, i cleared my throat and said " going first? where am i going ? "

He chuckled in response and said " shit ioon kno" before exiting the room.

Later That Day, 9 p.m

" Bitch get up!" Jerome scoffed. I whined and turned over in bed. I felt a hand grab my hair, i was yanked halfway out of the bed. I tightly closed my eyes and winced in pain as i quickly crawled out the rest of the bed. He pushed me out of the bedroom with one of his hands and still hand a strong grip on my hair with the other. i walked a little faster in the direction he pushed me making sure i kept my head back to relieve some of the pain from him constantly yanking on my hair. I opened my eyes a little to see where i was going, seeing that we were heading for the front door. We stopped walking and Jerome snatched my head close to his mouth. I could tell because i could feel his heavy breathing on the back of my neck. He whispered in my ear in a rigid tone saying " once we go out this door don't try no slick shit because i will not hesitate to kill you bitch". I nodded.

Jerome let go of my hair and grabbed my arm then with his free hand he opened the door wide enough for the both of us to go through. I walled through first then looked around spotting two cases of stairs, one going up and one going down. I knew that if there was ever a time to run it would be now.

I snatched away from Jeromes' grip and started running down the hall to the case of stair going down. My heart was beating a mile a minute. I could feel my breath getting thicker and thicker as i began to get closer to the case of stairs.

CLICK!! CLICK!!

My vision started to blur as tears started to form in my e-

BANG!! BANG!! BANG!!
