Hood Games

Chapter 20

Nickis POV

Am I being followed right now?

I turned my head slightly an saw a guy walking about 10 feet behind me. Any other day I wouldn't have noticed him but hes been directly behind me since I left Stasi's house.

That was thirty minutes ago. I turned a corner and watched him from the corner of my eye turn it too.

Crap, I felt my heart start to race and told myself to relax. Maybe it's just a coincidence he's walking the same way you are.

Fuck my shoes are untied. I bent down to tie it an saw the person behind me stop walking too. Ok now its time to run.

I ran faster hearing his feet slam against the pavement behind me. I turned right to see if anyone was on the street. I kept running an turning corners until I couldn't hear him anymore. I turned around an saw no one behind me.

"What the hell?" I asked to no one in particular. Looking behind me I didn't pay attention to what was in front of me.

I turned forward and came face to face with Falen.

"Hi Nicki" she said smiling in my face.

"Falen?" I squinted looking at her in the dark. Why the fuck is she hear?

"Why-" I started about to ask her but stopped. Feeling a pain in my stomach. I looked down an saw a needle sticking out of my shirt. Everything started to blur and I felt myself grabbing on to her arms.

"I know baby " she smiled looking down at me. I tried speaking but I couldn't and started gasping for air.

She stroked my hair and started shushing me. She grabbed the needle from my stomach sending a sharp pain through my chest. I tried to stand up and fell on the ground.

Falen grabbed my arm and hoisted me over her shoulders.

"Stop fighting it" she said dropping me into the trunk of her car. She closed the hood of her trunk slowly until everything faded into darkness.

I woke up in a hotel room with handcuffs on my wrists tied down to a chair.

"Well your finally up"

I snapped my head in the direction of the voice unable to see anything. Everything was blurred out and I felt my body tense up due to the pain.

"Give it a few more minutes it's supposed to wear off by now"

I waited for my vision to come back an when it did found myself sitting face to face with a girl sucking on a lollipop.

"Falen"

"Nicki" She smiled taking the lollipop out of her mouth.

I looked around at my surroundings, 2 beds, a old television and one desk. It looked like a motel room. But there were no windows.

"What am I doing here?" I asked her pulling my wrists against the cuffs.

"You and I have some unfinished buisness" she said waving around her lollipop.

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm prepared to make you a deal"

"For what?" I asked her watching her get up to walk out of the room and come back with a duffle.

"Five thousand right here right now and all you have to do is leave Troy and walk away from the gang" she finished by throwing the bag at my feet.

I watched the bag fall than rolled my head around my shoulders. Figures this is about Troy.

"I don't need your money and I'm not walking away"

"Look you're going to break up with him or I will make it my goal to kill everyone. Starting with Stephanie, than Christina an Eria, Darren, Charles, Chris, Raheem,an finally Troy"

"Falen what's this about?" I shook my head staring straight at her.

"Its just business" she shrugged sitting back in front of me.

"The same way you made out with my boyfriend?"

"Please Nicki don't make me laugh he's not your boyfriend. You might think he is but he'll always come back to me" she smiled sucking on it again. I watched her believe she was that bitch and started to laugh. I don't believe it.

"You're crazy" I laughed harder shaking my head back and fourth.

She punched me in the jaw am standing up. I clenched my teeth hard turning back to face her. This bitch is lucky I'm cuffed behind this chair cause I would have gone to jail.

"He doesn't want you "

"Falen your fucking delusional" I yelled spitting blood at her feet. Fucking bitch.

"Nicki you don't know him the way I do"

"Maybe I don't but I don't care about his past. That's all you are Falen is the past. I'm not leaving him" I said standing my ground. She smiled at me pulling a gun out of her waistband.

"You know the reason I left was because he beat me. I had just traded all their gameplans for 12 packs of cocaine" she said while checking her gun for amo, "he found out an beat me up so bad I went to the emergency room with a cracked rib and head trauma. Nicki I'm tryin to warn you"

"If you left him why the hell are you back"

"Ive got some unfinished buisness that involves you out the picture" she was smiling at me holding the gun to my head.

If her business is with Troy why the hell do I need to be out the picture.

"Falen your pathetic"

She got up an shoved it harder against my head.

"Say it again bitch"

"You don't scare me Falen" I told her staring into her eyes.

"Wrong answer" she lifted her hand and slammed the gun into my head. I felt blood trickle down my face and turned to look at her. She threw the gun on the bed and pulled out a razor from her pocket.

"Lets try this again"
