He Saved Me 2

Off the Grid

Landon's POV

I woke up a little later than usual this morning. After what we did last night, I'd expect Arely to be knocked out too but she was wide awake downstairs making breakfast. I took some time to get my teeth brushed before throwing on a shirt and some sweatpants and heading downstairs to see what she was making.

"Good morning" she smiled once we made eye contact.

"Good morning"

"Umm, you are so fine in the morning" she walked over and gave me a kiss.

"You're so fine all the time." I replied.

"I'm making breakfast" she seemed is proud of herself.

"Looks good as hell"

"Thank you, it's almost done so have a seat. What do you want to drink?"

"Fruit punch" I told her.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. I checked my phone because I got an alert on my ring camera. It was Faith and Santos so I got the door while Arely continued cooking.

"What's good cuhs? Long time no see" Santos was happy to see me.

"Nothing much. Chilling" I replied.

"How you feel?"

"I'm good"

"No seizures?" He asked.

"So far, no" I shook my head

"Good shit cuhs"

Faith got Jr. situated before coming to join us at the table. For a while we sat and caught up, especially since we've all been a little too busy to hang out like we used to.

"Whatchu cook, Rell?" Santos asked.

"Something slight. Y'all want some?" She asked.

"Hell yeah" Santos got up so he could make himself a plate.

"Fat ass" Faith said under her breath.

I shook my head.

"I made so—"

We were all caught off guard by whoever was knocking at the door. We weren't expecting anyone else to show up so I looked at my phone to see who was at my door. I couldn't really tell who it was so I just went to the door.

"Who is it, Loc?" Santos asked.

I shrugged my shoulders at him as I opened the door.

"Which one of y'all is Santos?" The guy asked.

"Me" Santos replied.

As soon as he said that the guy reached for his waistband. I saw the extended clip of his gun and before he could get it out his pants a punched the shit out of him.

Santos and I started jumping whoever this dude was which made Arely and Faith run outside to see what was happening.

"What the fuck?!" Faith screamed.

"Take his gun!" I tried my best to slide the gun away from him.

"Move!" Santos dragged me off of him just so he could get his rounds in.

He stood over the guy connecting a couple punches to his face. Then, Santos pulled out his own gun.

"Aye, chill Santos. Don't kill him!" I told him.

Santos' POV

"Don't kill him!" Landon told me.

I swear it's taking everything in me to not knock this motherfucker off the face of the earth right now.

"Run them motherfuckin' pockets cuhs, matter of fact bring yo ass on" I snatched him up to his feet and dragged him to Landon's backyard.

"Come on fool, don't do this here. We live here" Landon said.

"Nah, fuck all that. He know where you stay anyways y'all gon have to leave now" I said.

"Baby, chill out" Faith tried calming me down.

"Yeah, listen to yo girl blood... don't get yourself kill—"

"Shut the fuck up!!" I pistol whipped him 3 times.

"Run them pocket slob ass nigga" I pointed my Glock 30 in his face.

He took everything out his pockets and I tossed it all over by Landon.

"Name?" I asked him.

"Darius"

"Just who I thought... Tell your big homie to come at me with some motherfuckin' heat if he wanna catch me lackin' bitch"

"Fuck you" he spit blood into my face.

I took the butt of my gun and beat him with it until his face was all bloody.

"Go show yo niggas how a crip leave niggas like you lookin' and tell 'em this ain't no game, on neighborhood crip" I forced this dude up to his feet and pushed him out the back fence.

"What the fuck was that?" Arely asked.

"Santos you got some shit to explain" Faith looked at me like she was pissed even though I was the one about to get killed.

"These niggas been after me for a while Faith, you know that. When I got shot the first time, it was them that set me up. When we got charged up looking for suits 'nd shit for prom it was them that did that. It's the same fucking niggas" I told her.

"Why are they trying to kill you though?!"

"... It's nothing" I shook my head.

"It can't be nothing, stupid!" Faith was getting even more mad.

"I KILLED HIS BIG HOMIE'S BROTHERS!!! That's why!!"

Everyone was silent.

"After them bitch ass niggas set me up to get killed I wanted to get even. The fuck do I look like getting shot and not shooting back? So yeah I shot they shit up and I made sure them nigga ain't EVER gon' breath again!" I snapped.

"What the fuck..." Arely sat down in her seat.

"We can't be here no more," Landon shook his head. "They know where we live and they know where y'all live. We have to move"

"I'm sorry cuhs" I said.

"It's this dimbass gang shit you always into... I swear..." Faith pushed passed me and went outside.

Arely followed her leaving Landon and I in the kitchen.

"I know I fucked up, Landon" I told him.

"You're good."

"Nah... I'm too deep into this gang shit. I think imma disappear for a while" I told him.

"And go where?" He looked at me like I was crazy.

"Cuba, Puerto Rico... I got family in both so I don't know cuhs"

"Whatever you decide to do, know we love you and we got you through anything."

"Yeah, I know. Maybe leaving for a while will let this shit cool down for a minute... it's too hot in these streets"

"So I see"

Man, my baby is gonna hate having to leave for a while but I know she been wanting to go do something for a while now. I'm going to do my best to convince her this is just a long trip but I know sooner or later she's going to realize something else is up....
