In the dark streets of South London where the Tower Boys are taking off as GM's, love blooms in the most unexpected places, for Tiny at least. Jazz, cousin of Taser, moves out to South London from Scotland after the death of her mom, where everythin...
I barely got any rest last night. My mind's been everywhere but here. The faint sunlight, peak through the blind, casting long shadows across my room. I set up in my bed, my body heavy with exhaustion. My mind was still racing, questions from last night, the missing necklace, Davis's debt — it all kept me awake. I glanced down at my phone, which read 7:02 AM. I threw on a hoodie and some sweatpants before brushing my teeth, washing my face, and removing my bonnet and head scarf.

I threw on my Lanvin's before going to the kitchen. I arrived and there stood Taser, making a bowl of cereal.
Taser: Morning cuz
I nodded at him, my mind barely present. I sat down in the living room couch and I took down my two braids.
Taser: What you saying, you alright? You're awfully quiet. Jazzlynn: Yea um...I had a...a vision.
Tase set his bowl down, puzzled.
Taser: What kind of vision?
I gathered my thoughts before speaking.
Jazzlynn: It was...about my Mum.
Taser's face softened, he leaned in with concern written all over it.
Taser: What...what happened? Jazzlynn: I was back on the plane...the one she—
Tears pierced through my eyes, reliving the moment.
Jazzlynn: —the one she passed on. Anyways, there was flight attendant, white lady, blonde body, petite—and there was a man, but I couldn't see his face, not before the vision ended. But he had her necklace Tase. The one—
Taser cut me off abruptly.
Taser: —they couldn't find in the evidence bag, yea...But that's weird though innit. There was no conflict of interest on the plane.
I shook my head no as I fondled with my chain.
Taser: Bredda...this sounds mad. Like spooky. Why's the necklace gon and who-
Before Tase could finish his sentence, there was a knock at the door. Tense, we both approached quickly. Tase opened it as I stood behind him.
Mila: Morning ☺️
She said hugging Tayo. My blood boiled. Not at the fact that they're "together" but how badly it had made me miss Tiny...
She walked over to me as she stretched her arms out once again. I fell into herwarm embrace, happy to see that at least one person in my life wasn't completely falling apart. Shortly she turned back to Taser and they started whispering, so I occupied myself with my phone
Mila: The first ultrasounds today...
She said, looking down nervously and playing with her fingers. Taser lifted her by the chin with his pointer finger.
Taser: Yes 😏 I'll come. (No freaky shi 🤣)
Mila: Ok it's at St. Thomas's Department.
Taser: Calm. Wait Jazzlynn isn't that where you're headed with Nan?
Jazzlynn: where? St. Thomas?
Taser nodded and I nodded in response.
Taser: Alright we'll get Nan and come on.
>>>> 8:06 a.m.
We just arrived at the hospital as Taser and I went our separate ways, him with Mila and me with Nan. I walked her into the doctors office as we waited with the doctors assistant filling out general information.
Jazzlynn: Hey Nan, I've gotta pee, I'll be right back.
Nan: Okay darling 😊
I walked down the hallway as I scrolled through my phone inattentively. As I looked up to see which sign said women's, I saw a familiar face.
Jazzlynn: Oh shit.
Guys please don't kill me. I know this is super short, but I'm gonna try my best to get another chapter out later on today maybe around 11 PM. School has been killing me, but I'm finally down to seven classes from eight so I'm happy.
