I see a group of girls surrounding a body on the floor. I shouldn't have told them where he was, me and Marcus start to run towards them and they turn their weapons on us.
"Alright you got what you wanted, now leave!"
I point my gun at them, I see my poor cousin laying on the ground. One of them walks up to me and I walk up to her, showing no fear makes them know you can stand your ground.
"That's the thing girly, he's still breathing. We just simply can't let him go, that's not how they learn their lesson."
"Let him go-"
"Or what? There's 6 of us and two of you, you may be this big badass broad but everyone has a weakness even you."
"C'mon sweetheart, put the gun down and put your training to use. I know your daddy invested a lot of money into those hands, now use them bitch. If I win you let go of my cousin, if I lose you get to kill him."
I feel Marcus grab my arm and whispers into my ear.
"What are you doing? If you lose they are gonna kill him. This is not going to end well Esmerelda."
"That's the thing, Marcus, I never lose and it kinda hurts the fact that you think I will. Now let go of my arm before I cut it off."
He steps away from me and I throw my jacket on the ground and roll up my sleeves. I take off my earrings and tie up my hair.
She takes a swing at me and I grab her arm, It took every strength in me to flip her over my head. She immediately hits the concrete hard, she holds a grip against my ankle and takes me down with her.
It takes several attempts for her to get up and eventually, she does, a few more punches were exchanged then and I roundhouse kick her then she passes out. I grab her by her hair to lift her head.
"Looks like you forgot I run these fucking streets, never fuck with a Santos again unless you actually wanna end up in a grave." I let go of her head and I hear the sound of it dropping.
I limp over to Jayden and fall to my knees while trying to resist the urge to cry. I see bruises on my poor cousin's face and I put my hand on his cheek then he wakes up.
"Holy shit I thought you dead. That's not funny." I hit him in the chest.
"I appreciate you fighting for me, I'm touched." He says with a raspy voice while coughing.
"She almost killed me, dumbass, if you weren't my family I would have left you to deal with consequences." I laugh.
I help him up and Marcus tries to help me but I ignore him.
"I've got him Marcus, it's fine." I wrap Jayden's arm around my shoulder and try to make it to the door but we both collapse on the ground.
"Marcus grab him before I drop him."
"OWWW!! This bitch dislocated my shoulder!!!!" Once he grabs Jayden my body falls to the ground.
Why is it always me ending up almost dead or having broken bones. Marcus comes back to get me and Carries me bridal style.
"I'm still not used to this." I whine, my body is in pain and I have a bruise under my eye. He places me on my bed and gives me an ice pack then kisses my forehead.
"I'll be back, I'm gonna check on Jayden." He wraps up Jayden's fractured wrist and cleans his bloody face.
"How are you feeling? Even though I'm pretty sure you killed her, let me see your back 'cause she dropped you pretty hard." He helps me sit up and tries to help me take off my shirt.
"I'm fine, you don't need to take off my shirt."
"What's wrong? If you don't want me to touch you then just say that."
Marcus hasn't noticed the scars on my arms, and I don't want him to see them. I try to get up and clench my jaw together in pain.
"FUCK IT HURTS!" I never felt this type of pain before.
"Esme tell me what's wrong?" The concern in his voice is louder than his words.
I take off my shirt and his jaw drops, the scar lines go up my arms, and pulls me into his arms and kisses my shoulder.
"Is it that bad?" Tears stream down my face.
"Who did this to you?" He picks up my chin and looks me into my eyes.
"It's in the past Marcus, it's never gonna happen again. Trust me, I'm fine." I give him a peck on the lips.
"Okay I believe you but let me help you with these wounds and bruises on your back. I know you're in pain."
I nod my head and I lay on my stomach, his cold hands run across my back and I immediately get shivers.
"Sorry, I'll be careful."
"Stop fucking over-apologizing Marcus! I hate when you do that." I laugh.
He goes to check up on Jayden and comes back with a note with him.
"Antonio wants to talk to you about something, he said it's urgent." The note says.
I told Antonio not to bother me unless it was about the kid and Alexander. Fuck it I'll do it tomorrow, my body hurts too much to get up. Then out of nowhere, I hear an annoying voice, god just kill me already.
"Ughhh," I whine.
"HEY ESMERELDA!!!!! It's your best friends." Billy says enthusiastically while entering my room with Willie.
"Get out," I yell out and stuff my head into my pillow and scream into it.
"Can you guys do me a favor and look after Jayden, he got into a problem with a few Dixie mob girls. I don't wanna be going back and forth with both of them."
"What's in it for us?" Billy takes out his hand waiting for Marcus to give him something.
Marcus gives him 300 dollars and 3 blunts, Billy immediately smiles while Lex takes the blunts out of Billy's hand and goes running off with it.
"NOOOO COME BACK LEX!!!!" Billy runs off after Lex.
"Thank god for getting them out of here, I was gonna throw my lamp at them." I lay on my stomach while my head is buried in my arms.
"I'll be back I doubt that they are looking after Jayden right now, shit I just got scammed. Lin told me to get a tutor for psychology, so instead of getting my head knocked off I might as well go through with it."
"Marcus if I hear it's a girl, I may not have the strength to get up but I can smell a bitch from a mile away, If you hear a body hit the ground she's dead, if you hear two then she tried to get up."
He knew it was a girl but didn't want to send her over the edge, especially when the threat that Esmerelda just gave her.
"I'm not gonna lie to you Esme, it's a girl but she's going out with Shabnam and frankly I already have a beautiful girlfriend."
"Don't start kissing up to me now, I'm not threatened by her. I'm rich, got street cred, I'm pretty and I'm also that bitch." I laugh.
"Atta girl, I see you later." He kisses my forehead then heads to Jayden's room.
