Jacob

I parked my car in the parking lot; I turned off the key in my ignition. And opened the door I was in a good mood to work. I can't believe I even thought about quitting my job this is my passion and I was doing it for my brother. My older brother Kennard would be so proud of me and I couldn't let him down. I placed my badge on and turned on my walkie. I walked in the building. As soon as I walked in everyone was giving me funny looks. Literally everyone.

"Uhhh is there an issue? I asked.

"Seems like you're celebrity " Daniel said throwing a newspaper at me. I looked at it and there was a picture of the incident 2 months ago of me trying to get Tia out of the vehicle. "Police officer prevents accident by helping drunk female"

I looked up at the TV and there it was everything that happened on camera. Both of our faces and names on the television. I didn't know how to feel, I felt bad for Tia though.

"Wow" I sighed. Tyriq turned to me "So you know her? He asked.

"I been knew her, actually I'm - never mind" I said quickly walking away. I tried walking to the locker-room but was shortly stopped by my chief.

"Latimore"

"Sup Chief" I waved

"Make your way in here now" he said sternly. I felt my stomach drop I was nervous and I knew it had to do with the situation. I sat on the chair watch him walk around the desk to take a seat.

"Is there a problem boss? I asked

"That incident that happened 2 months ago was that your neighbor's daughter like you said? He asked and I knew it was over. I already lied and I couldn't lie again. FUCK!

"Yes" I said.

He squinted his eyes "Jacob I know you're lying, I can't believe you would lie and then you don't press charges on the girl what the fuck where you thinking? He asked

"She's a judge" I explained

"So what, officers get in trouble all the time including judges. No damn exceptions" he said

"Was it because she was attractive? He asked. "No, I was just doing a good deed" I explained little does he know we're seeing each other. I was truly fucked, I knew I should have just arrested her but I just couldn't do it. Something about her made my strict ways go down the train. If I arrested her my chances of dating her would be over. Crazy thing is sometimes I forget she was the girl I wanted.

He sighed placing his hands on his face. "You know I'm gonna have to suspend you right? He said and I felt my adrenaline quickly rise.

"Are you serious chief, I'm one of the fucking best officers you have. I come in do overtime and pretty much anything you ask me. While these niggas out there can't even jump over a damn fence to chase people" I yelled.

"I know what you are capable of Jacob, but I have to follow the laws or it's my ass" he explained.

"Hand over your badge" he said. And I felt my pride as a man go down the drain. Those were the 4 words you didn't want to hear while being an officer.

"You're suspended for 6 weeks" he said

"Six weeks with no pay" I said in shock.

"Yes" he said reaching his hand out. I slowly took my badge off and handing him my walkie. I said nothing else I just slammed the door. Tyriq and the rest of the guys were out there being noisy.

"What? I shouted.

"We know what that means" Daniel said.

"Damn, Jacob this why we don't love these hoes" Tyriq laughed. And I looked at him funny this was the same dude that was pressed to get with Tia. I was gonna give him the benefit of the doubt that he doesn't know that was her on the news but I'm gonna give him a reminder.

"Nigga, I let you go on one date with her to boost your confidence. Chill out! I said grabbing my bagged lunch.

"Ohhhh so you were the busy officer she was talking about, you hitting that? He asked. I ignored him because if I didn't I was gonna punch him in the face.

"How long are you gonna be gone? Daniel asked.

"6 weeks" I said. "Damn, keep your head up bro" Daniel said. I nodded my head exiting the building. I was mad as hell seems like I let all these women fuck me over. One of them breaks my heart while the other one messes up my cash flow. A part of me wanted to hurt Tia but the other part didn't because I'm the one that didn't press the charges. And I have feelings for the girl, but that last statement Tyriq said to me didn't set well matter of fact it made things ten times worse.



Tia


I sat in Julia's office she was basically my manager and I knew it was a matter of time before they would find out.

"Now Tia you know I love you like my own child but what the hell happened? She asked. I sighed taking a breather.

"I went to a party had maybe two drinks then all of sudden there was a shooting. I ran with my friends and began driving home. I felt fine, I would never drive intoxicated but it kind of crept up on me and I don't know what happened after that" I explained

"You could have killed somebody and been behind bars. What the hell!!! Your brain was not on? She said and I felt myself began to cry just thinking about how I could of killed someone. She handed me a tissue and I blew my nose.

"Did you forget you're a judge, you have to watch what you do" she explained. And I understood her completely but I basically live in the courthouse I needed to live just a little bit.

"I- im gonna have to put you on 90 day probation Tia your suspended. And those months will be deducted from your yearly salary" she explained. And I got up nodding my head. I couldn't even finish my words. I quickly wiped my eyes leaving the building. This was my entire exes fault if he didn't break my heart and sleep with my cousin maybe I wouldn't be so depressed and wouldn't have to drink my pain away. I wanted to see Jacob but I was scared as hell.
