'she better be safe' "Bronx" "Lucian" "jaylah walked out back" "fuck. Alone?" "Nope" Bronx already knew she would be with kalem "kalem?" "All of them" Bronx took a deep breath "it's her decision Lucian" "she gets hurt and its on them" "it won't sit well" "with who?" "Jaylah" "I can handle her" "let me be honest with you Lucian. She will risk everything to save them. They are her back bone. I don't know how it all come about but they respect her and she loves them" lucian showed a slight nod. Hearing cars come in the drive way, Bronx and Lucian both ran outside. Seeing fourteen cars, Lucian internally grinned. 'uncle rayal wont be here yet'.
"Jlee, they are here" jaylah nodded "stay safe. if you guys die, so do I" "no you have a lot.." "nope. Stay safe".
As rayal exited his car, he looked around as gun fire was going every where. 'that niece of mine will learn' men dropping left, right and center rayal fired."boss" "kill them".
"Kalem I'm worried. Can you stay hidden?" "Don't worry about me" 'but I do' as jaylah positioned herself behind a tree, she got ready for fire. Seeing men she doesnt know come from everywhere, the men started to fire while jaylah saved her bullets. Seeing gage, Otto and Calvin get hit, jaylah eyes started to water. 'fuck this' jaylah moved into sight grabbing out both guns. Shooting anyone who came out, jaylah knew she needed to reload. Seeing kalem fall, her eyes watered. "jay.." "NO" Jaylah ran straight to kalem. Seeing a chest shot she knew he wouldnt survive. With tears running down her face, she watched as kalem took his last breath "I love you" "love you j..." Kalem laid still making jaylah not only upset but angry. Refilling both her guns, Christophe seen her an absolute mess then looked at kalem. To see him dead he was more worried about jaylah. He knows she can be reckless. Turning his attention back to the men, Christophe started shooting while jaylah moved out mid field. "I WARNED YOU" with out hesitation jaylah turned to face rayal "YOU KILLED MY FATHER AND MOTHER. BUT THE WORST THING YOU DID, YOU KILLED MY BEST FRIEND AND ITS TIME YOU DIE" rayals eyes went wide as jaylah used both guns shooting him in the chest. "FUCK YOU" "jaylah.." Zaire went to grab her pulling her from the line of fire but jaylah pushed him back "DONT FUCKING TOUCH ME" Zaire moved back as more men came their way. Shooting who he can, he also watched as tears pooled jaylahs cheeks while she kept firing. Looking at Christophe as he shot more, the shots finally stopped. Jaylah ran straight back to kalem. Seeing his lifeless body, jaylah started compressions "you cant fucking leave me" getting ripped away from kalem, jaylah fought against vex "NO HE CANT BE DEAD" "JAYLAH.." jaylah fought with all of her might getting out of vexs hold and ran back to kalem. Pulling him to her chest, jaylah cried.
"Bronx you okay?" "Yep. I need to find jaylah" "yep" both walking out side gage stood in their way "MOVE" "Boss.." "where is jaylah?" Gage put his head down "GAGE?" "With kalem" gage already knows jaylah wont want to leave him. As Bronx and Lucian feared the worst they ran to where they seen jaylah go. "No you can't fucking leave me. With out you, I'm nothing. WAKE UP DAMN IT" Bronx tried to grab jaylah but she held onto kalems body "Jaylah he's dead" jaylah rocked on the ground as she held kalem "GRAB HER" with force Lucian and Bronx pulled jaylah away "NO... LET ME GO" "HE'S DEAD" "FUCK YOU" Bronx and Lucian carried jaylah inside as she fought against them. With tears in her eyes, Bronx and Lucian put her down. "FUCK YOU. I HATE BOTH OF YOU" "IT WAS ONE MAN" jaylah raised her gun at Lucian and Bronx swiftly moved as jaylah let a shot go sending it in to the wall. "Jaylah" Bronx grabbed the gun and jaylah walked straight out and ran to kalems room. Slamming the door, jaylah locked it. Looking around the room, the tears fell from her eyes. "you can't be gone. You just can't be" jaylah dropped to her knees as she let the tears fall.
"Bronx?" Bronx looked at Lucian "that broke her" "he is one man" "its her fucking best mate". "Boss?" Lucian looked at Dominic "any one dead?" "Not from our side" Bronx walked straight out of jaylahs room and out of the house. Seeing vex, Christophe, Zaire, Tyson and rey carry kalems body to the steps, bronx took a deep breath "have we lost anyone else?" "No" "he needs to be buried" Christophe looked at kalem but held in his emotions. "Lay him down" seeing the gold chain that sat around his wrist, he removed it "CHRISTOPHE LEAVE IT" "JAYLAH BOUGHT IT IT FOR HIM" Zaire showed a slight nod as Christophe removed the bracelet. "Love you brother" "WHERE'S JAYLAH?" "I.. I don't know" Christophe already had a feeling he knows where she is. "This is hers. The car is hers. Everything of kalems belongs to her" Christophe as well as the other men let the tears fall. "Love you mate" "you didn't deserve this but I will be here for jaylah" "we all will be" Bronx looked at vex, Rey, Tyson, Christophe and Zaire not sure what to do. "Bronx all his men have fallen" "alright let's clean up this mess" Bronx knows that kalem won't be treated like rayals men. He will be laid to rest respectfully. As the men guarded kalems body, Bronx, Lucian and lucians men helped clean up the mess.
"Should We Go get jaylah?" "She won't come out. She will be in kalems room" "we could ask?" "Christophe you are the best man for it" Christophe showed a slight nod as he held the bracelet. Entering the house, Christophe walked to kalems room. Christophe put his back to the door as tears escaped his eyes. "Jaylah we are going to lay kalem to rest. It wouldn't be the same with out you. I know you don't want to leave his room but we can't bury him with out you" hearing Christophe speak jaylah raised herself from kalems bed and grabbed his favorite hoodie. Chucking it on, jaylah then opened the door. "Lets give him the best view" jaylah never spoke a word but walked outside with Christophe "the west end" the men nodded as they picked up his body. Jaylah kept her head down as the tears kept streaming down her face. 'thats my brother, my real brother. Blood or not he has been there's for me' watching as the men dug a grave for kalem, jaylah broke again. Zaire pulled her close as tears fell from his eyes but he knows it's completely destroyed jaylah. 'thats my best friend' as the men dug the grave, vex and Tyson both picked him up and gently lowered him in making a sob escape jaylahs lips and Zaire pulled her to his front "I can't do it with out him Zaire" Zaire stayed silent as they started to cover kalems body. "Jaylah this is for you" Zaire loosened his hold and jaylah looked to see what was in Christophes hand. 'his twenty seventh birthday birthday present' with shaky hands jaylah grabbed the bracelet from christophe and ran her fingers over it. "Thanks" Christophe knows it would mean the world to her. Seeing Bronx walk their way, Christophe stepped back and Zaire pulled jaylah back to his front. "We are always with you jaylah, through everything" "he didn't deserve to die Zaire" jaylahs voice cracked making the men all tear up.
"Men" all the men stayed silent. Bronx watched as Zaire held jaylah tight to his chest. Not sure what to do, he spoke "kalems burial?" "Yes. Best view in the estate" Bronx nodded. "Zaire I can't.." without hesitation Zaire picked jaylah up, Carrying her bridal style back to the house. Taking her straight to kalems room, Zaire laid her on his bed and walked out closing the door. He knows jaylah wont leave his room. Those two were really close. Closer than Anyone here. "Zaire, where is jaylah?" Zaire took a deep breath as he held in his emotions "kalems room" "WHY THE FUCK IS SHE IN HIS ROOM" "BECAUSE RAYALS MEN KILLED HIM" lucian stepped back "shit they were really close" "shit? I have never seen jaylah so fucking destroyed in my life. Not after she was brought home from the prison. Not after her uncle belted her and broke her rib. Not after she took five fucking bullets for kalem but now.." Zaire shook his head "she is a complete and utter mess. I don't care if you are her real brother or not. You pull her away from that room before she's ready, I will shoot you myself" Zaire walked to his room and slammed the door shut leaving Lucian dumb founded.
