The Smiths (COMPLETED)

twenty-six

Arielle POV:

I was in the back of Monte's car with my legs up to my chest, just holding myself. I didn't know how to feel. I was so happy to see Drew but at the time I couldn't show it. My emotions wouldn't come out. I missed my babies so much and I know they missed me. "Take me to my grandma's." Came out my mouth instantly.

"Babe you don't want them to see you like this." Drew spoke low to me. I looked down at myself and I had blood all over me. Some mine and the rest from Crystal. I was so disgusted. All the blood made me think all the way back to when I was taken from my hone. The last thing I seen was blood.

"I wanna see my babies to let them know I'm okay." I spoke again.

"Listen I'll call gma after we get you a shower Ari and we can go right over there, okay?" Of course Ren would be the one to calm me down. She was looking at me in the rearview mirror until I nodded.

We pulled up to Serenity house and everyone began getting out the car. "Where's Mi'Sean?" Monte questioned.

"He's at gma's house. Me and Raheem dropped him off." Raheem nodded his head while Ren explained.

"Alright. Are you sure you're okay?" He held her face. She nodded her head.

"I'm just glad everyone's safe." She looked directly at me. "Come on, let's get you & Chelle cleaned up."

Chelle walked over to me and wrapped her arms around me. I held her the same way. "We made it out, just like we promised each other." She whispered to me. It made me smile, I began to think about all of our memories. This is really my bestfriend, I couldn't be anything without her.

After showering we were all sitting in Monte's office. I was standing up next to Drew til he grabbed me and made me sit on his lap.

"So what the fuck was happening back there Raheem?" Chelle asked and we all looked at her. "What?! We all wanna know and I'm his woman so since everybody so scared to ask there you go. What is going on Raheem?" We all waited for his answer and he was about to speak til Monte spoke.

"Yeah I thought you was in the hospital bro and you put Ren in this?" Monte was pissed about Serenity being there.

"Lemme fuckin speak!" Raheem was now pissed. He obviously seen that his loyalty was being questioned and he hated that shit. "Now when you came to see me at the hospital Tay, we were being watched nigga, that whole time. Kenny was following you the whole time. He was even at Ari's house same time as y'all. After we talked, a hour later he came in my room with a gun ready to shoot me. He told me that when I received a call from him I better be at his house with Ren or he would kill Chelle & Ari."

"Damn man." Drew said softly.

"By the time I got to your crib I decided that I was gonna die to get all three of y'all safe. I knew he'd kill me on spot if I showed up there without her so had to bring her. I know you would have them hiding in the office cause I know you so I went down there. I told her my plan & at first she wasn't with it but I made her understand and she was down, we dropped lil Sean off to gma's and we got to the mansion I wasn't expecting to see Crystal. That hit a couple of triggers in me. I seen her before I seen anybody. I blacked out cause I was on a mission to make sure this shit would never happen again." Everyone was silent for awhile. "Never question my loyalty again." He put his hand on Monte's shoulder. Monte looked up, nodded & did their signature handshake.

"Alright now that we got that figured out, everybody staying here tonight & Ari I know you just got back but I don't wanna hear yo shit. You will see the babies and the rest of your fam tomorrow simply because we gotta think of a plan to tell the cops now that y'all home, understand?" He looked at me. I nodded giving him a slight smile.
