A Stripper's Daughter

Chapter 27

[Jalen's P.O.V]

I Ain't Gon Lie...I Was Pretty Damn Distracted During My Exams. I Can't Believe My Dreams Were Ruined And I Can't Even Do Shit About It. After Exams Were Over, I Headed Outside And Noticed Monique Waiting On Me.

"Hey. How Were Your Exams?" I Asked.

"It Was Straight. Hella Distracted From The News You Told Me Yesterday." I Said. She Hugged Me And Pulled Me Towards Her Car.

"I Have Some Good News!" She Said.

"Word? What's That?" I Asked.

"It's A Surprise!" She Said. She Seemed Too Happy. She Grabbed My Hand And Helped Me Towards The Car.

"Yo I Gotta Get Home And Check On Layla." I Said. She Sucked Her Teeth.

"She'll Be Alright! This Is About You!" She Said. I Sighed And Got In The Car. She Hopped In The Car And Immediately Drove Off. She Sung Along To Trey Songz As We Drove Down The Street. My Phone Started Ringing And It Was Layla.

"Aye Turn That Down. My Girl Calling." I Said.

"Don't Answer! We're Almost There." She Said. I Sighed And Ignored Her Call. Monique Smiled As She Continued Driving. A Few Minutes Later We Pulled Up To My House.

"Uh. What's The Surprise Here?" I Asked OBVIOUSLY Confused.

"Let's Go Inside." She Said. Thinking Nothing Of It...We Headed Inside.

"Layla I'm Home!" I Called Out. No Answer.

"Aye Layla!" I Said Again. No Answer.

"Clearly She's Not Here." Monique Said.

"I Guess. So What's Up?" I Asked.

"Okay So....Yesterday Was A Mistake. You Can Definitely Play Ball Because Your Arm Will Get Better." She Said.

"Aw Word? That's What's Up!" I said.

"But....But....There's A Catch." She Said.

"Man!" I Snapped.

"I Brought The Medicine And It Literally Cost A Fortune." I Said.

"So...?" I Said.

"Jalen....I Want To Be With You. Layla Doesn't Know How To Treat You And I Do. Truth Be Told....I Know All About Her! Her Stripping Ass Mom, Her Drug Dealing Dad, Her Involvement With A Pimp! I Know It All! And What Makes It Worst, That Bitch Killed My Brother Or Sister!" She Snapped.

"What The Fuck You Talking About?" I Asked.

"Layla! She Ruined My Life! She Killed My Dad And My Sibling! She Isn't A Good Person Jalen." She Said.

"Yo Daddy? That Mark Ass Pimp?" I Said.

"Yeah He Was A Pimp. Carl Johnson Was My Dad, And Layla Killed Him!" She Said. I Hopped Up, Ready To Fight This Bitch.

"Yo Dad Was A Rapist And A Murderer! He Raped Layla Repeatedly And Impregnated Her! Then He Killed Her Moms And Me And Her Pops Murked His Ass!" I Snapped. Her Mouth Dropped As She Stood Up.

"What?" She Said In Disbelief.

"You Heard Me! Now Get Yo Shit And Get Out My House! You Fired!" I Snapped. She Burst Out Laughing As She Grabbed Her Phone.

"You Done Fucked Up Now." She Said.

"You Still Here? Bounce!" I Said. She Grabbed Her Shit And Stormed Out The House. I Grabbed My Phone And Called Layla:

"Aye Ma. Where You At?" I Asked.

"About To Pull Up In The Driveway And I Have Something To Tell You!" She Said.

"You And Me Both!" He Said.

"Well I'll Be There In......KOTA LOOK OUT!" I Heard Her Say. I Heard A Loud Crash And Layla's Phone Cut Off.

"Layla? Layla!" I Said. I Hurried Outside And Saw Dakota's Car Smashed Up In The Front, And Monique's Car Pulling Off. I Hurried Towards The Car And Tried Pulling Layla's Car Door Open, But It Was Jammed. I Then Ran Over To Dakota's Side Of The Car And Pulled The Door Opened. I Helped Dakota Out Of The Car And Carried Her To The Sidewalk. I Then Hurried Back To The Car And Grabbed Layla. I Carried Her To The Sidewalk And Checked Her And Dakota's Pulse. A Small Group Of People Were In Shock As Some Stood Close By, And Others Dialed 911.

"Y'all Can't Die On Me! Y'all Just Can't Fucking Die On Me!" I Cried.
