Chapter 25

TASHA

"Carlos..his dead..YOU KILLED HIM CARLOS" I yelled panicked.

"I know Tasha stop screaming" he said calmly.

His body was gushing out a blood, his eyes were still open burning holes in my face.

The lifeless body was just staring at me.

"Carlos his staring at me" I cried out nudged him, "bawl your eyes out" Carlos said.

I turned looking at him "what?" I asked confused.

"Tasha listen to me carefully" he demanded. "I need you to bawl your eyes out, we're his friends you understand" I nodded my head.

"We came back from school trying to hang out but we saw him laying on the ground with a gun beside him" he told me.

"Plan b i could call someone & they will get rid of everything, i mean everything"

I cried even more, I never thought i would be in a situation like this.

Not wanting to go to jail played a big part.

"They won't believe us! Black girl & a Hispanic boy with a DEAD WHITE boy on the ground" I spoke testing out the guilty percentage.

" I'll call them then" Carlos replied.

He took out his phone,calling someone. "Ringo, necesito que me lleves un cuerpo, trae el otro para inspeccionarlo" he spoke Spanish.

I couldn't make out what the other person was saying, Carlos hung up the phone.

"Did he hit you regularly?" He asked.

I didn't respond, I did feel ashamed for staying but I didn't have no where to go.

"If you see someone's true colours don't try to repaint them" someone said.

Should've listened.

I was always trying to see for myself even though I'm very avoiding. Hope was something I always stood by but I couldn't feel soft spoken anymore.

It got me hurt in so many ways.

"Tasha answer the question" he shouted making me shout back "Yes!".

"How could you not tell anyone about it" he asked me.

"Look I don't know okay! It's not as easy as you think! I have a dead body burning holes through my head, so I don't know" I yelled.

It's hard for me, it's not easy at all. "Just get up & leave" you don't understand, it doesn't work like that.

Your mind feels paralyzed on what to do,so you don't do it until you feel brave & take a leap of faith

A knock at the door made Carlos break eye contact with me. He opened the door, a whole bunch of Hispanic guys walked through the door.

My first thought was am I getting kidnapped but they looked at Carlos.

They looked like they were in a gang. Probably was.

"Yo who the fuck blew this chico's face in" some guy said. "Carlos did" some other one said.

I saw all of them look at me
"What's shawty's name?" Some guy asked.

I didn't say anything I just stared with a blank expression on my face.

"Tasha" he replied for me. "She cute Carlos, you gonna let me have ha?" a guy our age said, making Carlos glare at him.
