Perks of being a Criminal

Chapter 20

Chapter 20

I don't know what clicked in Jason, but it's really weird. He keeps staring at me and scanning my every move. Despite him and his paranoia, I know something for sure clicked in me after I got over the whole Jason thing. I can't believe I was falling for that asshole. He didn't talk to me for a year even though I let him stay in my house, I made him food, and gave him a bed. I know it sounds so rude and selfish but this is my house. Not his. He didn't work to keep this house and this gang protected, I did. I've realized that I am stubborn and bitter, but he didn't need to save me two days ago at the party. I'm not a god damn damsel in distress. I can take care of myself and I have been for a long time. Fuck Jason. If he didn't care about me then, why should I care about him now?That's not to say I didn't feel bad about his loss. Theres no way she's alive after what happened. He can blame me all he wants, I didn't do shit. It's just one of those things that happens. "Aaliyah? Yoo-hoo!" Jordan waved his hand in front of my face, snapping his fingers together a few times to get my attention. I break my gaze from the ground and look at him, "You okay? You were off in space for like ten minutes." He starts to rub my back, he truly is the best friend any girl could ask for.

"Yes of course. Just thinking about how I'm going to slaughter them." I darken my eyes, letting Jordan know I am so ready to kill. Recently we found a warehouse that had part of Daniel's gang in it. I wanted to take him down so bad because Sam was a part of me too and I wasn't going to show mercy. I had a shotgun in hand, a couple of automatics, a handgun in my belt, and my favorite knife in my pocket. The van stopped and Anthony came around to let us out. We weren't very far from the warehouse, we were at a parking lot. We had to go night vision and travel down the bike trail to get to it.

I got out of the van taking the safety off my shotgun, "Alright boys. No fucking mercy and Just. Kill." The boys sounded like a football team when they all yelled at once. "Jordan take the lead. Boys follow behind him. What ever he does or what ever he tells you to do, you better fucking do it. I'll be in the back to kick hand your asses to you if you fuck up tonight." The rest of the boys eyes widened and Jordan smirked walking over and kissed my forehead. I could hear Jason cough clearing his throat. I ignored him and hugged Jordan leaning up to tell him something, "Please be safe but work hard. You're all I have left." Jordan moved away and nodded, running to the bike trails with the boys following behind him. I follow after all the boys go in front of me but when I start to run, I feel a hand grab my elbow swinging my body around. It was Jason so I just yanked away rolling my eyes, "What the hell do you want? We are kind of working right now." I spat shaking my head.

"What was that all about? Are you and Jordan like a thing now?"

He looked so angry but I just laughed in his face. I didn't care what he did with other girls he brought that he fucked in my own home, why the hell did he care if I was hugging my best friend? "Hm. So you can do what you want to any girl you could find in the neighborhood but I can't say something to my best friend. Wow, and you call me the piece of shit." I roll my eyes again. "Get the fuck in front me so I can slaughter these people for taking my friend away from me." He needed to realize that she was important to me too but, of course all he fucking does is blame me. "You can blame me all the fuck you want Jason but she was family to me too. She was important to me and the rest of the boys too. We want to help but you just won't get a fucking clue."

He was shocked beyond belief at what I had to say. He just looked at me up and down not saying a word for another minute or so. "Aaliyah I-"

"Save it because after all I am a waste of time, I'm useless and I'm worthless too." I turned around to just let it soak in and hopefully get through his thick ass head. He could be in back for all I fucking care.

"We fucking KILLED!" Alfredo yelled in the van as we pulled out of the parking lot. All of us were sweaty and beat up. They did put up a big fight but they were outnumbered and outgunned, they didn't stand a chance. I laughed along with the boys. I could feel Jason's eyes burning into the side of my face. He must've been so fucking pissed, but I don't care. If he wanted to fight with me when we got home I didn't give one shit but I took one glance at him and his eyes were black. I didn't want to engage so I looked away and I could hear him chuckle. Yep he was pissed. I was so exhausted, I laid my head on Jordan's shoulder and began to drift off as he put an around me running his fingertips up and down my arm.
