Roc Royal Imagines

Dreams That Save

My name is Chresanto August, but you could call me Roc. I'm 20 years old and in the most powerful gang in Cali. My boss is Martel. We're pretty close, I've known him since middle school. We've been through a lot together, and now we at the top.

Martel's POV
Martel: Where is my money Ben?!
Ben: please I need more time!
Martel: *sighs* I'm really gonna miss you Ben, you were my best customer.
Ben: n-no please!
Martel: sorry Ben *shoots him in the head*
I turned and saw a girl standing at the end of the alleyway. She slowly backed up then ran for her life. "Go get her" I told my guards. They ran after her and dragged her back to me. She fought them the whole way. "poor girl at the wrong place and wrong time" I said smoothly. "Please don't hurt me!" She whimpered. "Sorry miss but I can't have witnesses" "I won't tell anyone! I promise!" "Put her in the car!" I yelled at my guards. She fought hard. She managed to kick one in the nuts and he let go. "Stop! Let her go before you break her arm" I ordered. "Please I'll do anything! Just don't hurt me!" "Anything?" I questioned. "Yes anything you want!" I leaned in close to whisper in her ear, making sure my lips brushed against her jawline all the way to her ear. "Sorry, I don't like desperate people" I whispered "Now in the car you go!"

Roc's POV
I was chilling in my room when Martel called me over the P.A system. He said to report to his office. I wonder what for. I slipped on a t-shirt and some shorts and casually walked into his office. My heart almost stopped when I walked in. There was a girl tied to a chair with his guards standing around her. I knew she wasn't just any girl, that was Yn. She was my best friend from diapers and moved away the summer before middle school started. I still remember that day when she told me.
Flashback
The phone rang, it was Yn. She told me to come over and that we need to talk. She sounded sad. I brushed my hair into a neat ponytail (this was before I cut my hair) and ran to her house. She was sitting on the porch with her knees to her chest and her head in her hands. It sounded like she was crying.
"Yn, you ok? What's wrong?" "I'm so sorry Roc" "Sorry for what?" She stood up and walked towards me. She pulled me into a hug, at first I didn't hug back cause I still didn't know what was wrong, but soon it became clear. Her front door was open, and instead of seeing the usual furniture, there was boxes. "You'r-You're moving??" "I'm so sorry Chresanto" her grip tightened on me and she ran a hand through my hair. "How come you're leaving?" I questioned as a tear slipped out of my eye. She let go of me and held my hands looking me in my face. "M-my dad received a promotion from his job and now they're sending us out of the country. I'm so sorry Chresanto, I didn't want to tell you, but I knew I had to." " So you won't even be in the states?" She shook her head no "They want us in South Korea" I felt a tear slide down my face. I looked at her and wiped away her tears. "It's ok" I reassured her. "This is going to benefit your family, its for the best!" I said trying to be optimistic. "Just promise me that you when you are old enough to travel by yourself, you'll come back for me." She nodded at me, "only if you promise me something" "sure" She took a deep breath. "When I was two, my brother joined the most notorious gang here in Cali. One day he screwed up, and they shot him, right in front of my face. He died two days later in the hospital. Chresanto, promise me that while I'm gone, you won't join. I don't want to come back and hear that you lost your life to them like my brother did." "Ok, I promise" She hugged me again. I didn't want to let her go. As she started to pull away, I decided that I needed something special to remember. So I grabbed her and put my lips on hers. She didn't kiss back at first, but eventually she did. I pulled back and looked at her. "I'm really gonna miss you Yn" "I'm gonna miss you too Chresanto" With that, I walked away. I looked back one more time, she waved at me then walked into her house, shutting the door behind her.
End of Flashback

Martel: Yo dude you alright?
I realized my eyes were out of focus and I was on my knees in front of her. I slowly stood up, not taking my eyes off her. She stared back at me with an unreadable expression on her face.
Roc: yea yea I'm good. What did you need?
Martel: well the other day you said that I don't let you in on the action too often, so here you are.
Roc: what do you want me to do?
Martel: kill her
Roc: why?
Martel: well lil miss here was in the wrong place at the wrong time and you know I don't like witnesses.
He hand me the gun, it was already loaded. I looked at the gun then up at her. She had tears in her eyes. "You promised me" she muttered. "What was that?" I asked. She looked at me and raised her voice. "You promised me!" "Roc, what is she talking about?" Martel asked looking at me. I sighed, "I know I did, but I only did it to gain more money for my family. Yn, look, I'm still alive and I have new friends.......one's that won't leave me." "You know very well that I didn't have a choice!" "Doesn't matter you still left" She shook her head. I knew it wasn't her fault, but I didn't want to look weak in front of the others. I've seen tons die just for seeming weak. She looked at me, a tear ran down her face. "So lemme get this straight, you know her and she knows you?" Martel asked raising one eyebrow. I nodded at him." Well doesn't matter, kill her Roc." She pleaded with me not to do it. I wanted to cry so bad but I couldn't. I raised the gun and turned away as I shot her. I hesitated a moment before looking. She was slumped over in the chair, blood dripping from her head. I couldn't control myself anymore, I let the tears come. "Good boy" Martel said as he walked out with his guards. I slowly lifted her from the chair and held her bridal style. Her once soft brown eyes were still open, so I closed them. I could feel her warmth draining from her body. I sat on the ground, still holding her, remembering all the times we spent together.
Flashbacks
We were at the park near a pond, running around and having fun.
Five year old Roc: Im gonna get you Yn *chases after her*
Five year old Yn: You can't catch me!
Five year old Roc: what makes you think I can't can't catch you?
Five year old Yn: cause I'm the gingerbread girl! *runs faster*

She was laying on her bed slightly dozing off. I climbed ontop of her and laid my head on her chest, closer to that corner between her shoulder and neck. She put one arm around me and used the other to stroke my hair, which was out of the hair tie. It was times like this where I felt more like her boyfriend than just a best friend. "Roc, please don't cut your hair" "Why not" "Cause I like it just like this" "I can't promise you that I won't cut it" "why not" "cause one of these days its going to get annoying and I'm just gonna chop it off." "Aww man" "Sorry Yn" She chuckled a bit. "I'm so tired" "same" I could feel her fall asleep. I stayed awake listening to her heartbeat and her soft breaths. It was quite soothing and soon I fell asleep too
******************************************************
I woke up to the sunlight hitting me in my face. I lifted my head and looked around. I was in my room and I couldn't tell if I was dreaming or in reality, so I pinched myself hard. Yup, definitely in reality. I got up and walked to Martel's office. He wasn't there, so I decided to go for a stroll. As I walked down the street, I saw a girl standing at the beginning of an alley way. She was standing rigidly like she saw a ghost and was frozen in fear. I slowly approached her, just in case she was a crack head. I peeked down the alley and saw Martel shoot someone in the head. It was Ben. I snatched the girl out of sight as Martel lifted his head. She seemed as scared as ever. "Please don't hurt me, I won't tell I promise!" "I'm not going to hurt you Yn" "How do you know my name" "you don't recognize your best friend?" " Oh my god! Chresanto?! " I nodded at her. " We have to get out of here" "why?" "Cause if Martel finds out that you saw what you saw, he'll make me kill you." She looked at me weird but nodded. We walked away and as we did I thought about the dream I had. I think I just saved her life.
