Not Just Friends

Get Down On it

Zendaya POV

Stacks of money piled in the case.

"This is why" Josh says

"Why what?" Trevor asked with a confused look.

"Jacob" Josh said.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"Wait, can someone please explain to me who this Jacob person, that everyone knows besides me!" Tyla said.

"Some guy that likes to kill people" Zink said in a spooky voice.

" anyways, Jacob wants to kill me" Josh said.

"Why, I mean he wants to kill me for something I did years ago. Not saying what I did was right in anyway because it wasn't" I said looking down.

"He doesn't want to kill you" Josh says looking at me.

"So your telling me that chasing me down into the streets, breaking into my house, kidnapping me, and pointing a gun at me. Isn't trying to kill me"

"No..I mean yes and no. He trying to scare you. He wants to get closer to me" Josh said.

" I hardly even know you" I say.

"But deja does, and the only resource he has to deja is you" he said.

"but what does he want from you?" I ask.

"the money, we worked together in the past doing....business. He didn't give me the money I needed. So I stole all his money. Now he is trying to find and kill me" Josh said.

"I'm still not understanding" Trevor said.

"but I remember a week ago, the day Jacob killed diggy, I over heard jacob on the phone saying he was going to kill me" I said.

"I don't know about that" josh said. He continued, "but that's why I had to date multiple girls, I needed different places to stay at".

"so you was using us basically" Tyla said rolling her eyes.

"sort of, but I had real feelings for each girl" josh said.

"soooo flattering" Tyla said in a sarcastic tone.

"and one of them are pregnant" Deja said wiping her eyes.

"what, that's bull sh*t" Tyla said standing up.

I was a little stocked that Tyla is getting so upset.

She walked in front of Josh and slapped him right in the face. Then she walked out of the apartment.

"what the hell. Is she bi-polar or something" Josh said rubbing his face.

"oh shut up. Your lucky I wasn't the one to slap you" Deja said.

"lets get on topic, why did Josh take them in the a van to kidnap them" Trevor said.

"I don't even want to be here, I'm leaving" Deja said getting up and leaving.

"because he wanted to scare you guys" josh said.

"that makes no sense---" I said but was cut off by deja busting in the living room with Tyla behind her.

"Jacob is here!" Deja says.

I automatically start to panic now. I jumped up from the couch in full panic mode.

"sh*t" Josh said getting up.

Trevor got up from the couch. Josh closed up the money and took it off the table.

"come this way" Josh said.

We followed him into his room. Trevor was the last one to come in so he locked the door.

Josh went into his closet and pulled out a cardboard box. He pulled a large gun out of the box.
This made me a little nervous.

"Go out to the balcony out there and wait for me" josh said pointing to a curtain.

We walked over to the curtain and Trevor pulled it open. A clear sliding door lead to the balcony. Trevor opened it and we walked out.

I walked over to the bar that preventing me from falling over and looked down. This is a long way down.

"were not going to jump are we?" Tyla asked coming next to me and looking down.

"sort of" josh said coming out onto the balcony.

"well count me out" I said stepping away from the balcony.

A loud bang echo through the apartment.

"quick we need to go now!" Josh said.

He grabbed Tyla hand and pulled her to the edge of the balcony.

"what... What are you doing?" Tyla asked getting nervous.

"jump all the way down to the other balcony, all of you guys Tyla first" Josh said.

"I can't, it's too far down and I have a fear of heights" Tyla said shaking her head.

Another loud bang erupt through the apartment.

"now or your going to die" Josh screamed.

Tyla slowly went over the balcony.

"hurry up and don't look down!" Zink said.

Tyla let go of the bar and fell down to the next balcony under us.

"are you okay" I yelled to Tyla.

Tyla gave me a thumbs up with her finger.

"next" Josh said.

We all looked at each to see who was willing to go next.

"I'll go" Trevor volunteered.

Trevor did the same thing as Tyla. Then Zink and Deja went. Trevor and Tyla helped Zink come get down. It was me and Josh left to go.

"I'll go last" Josh said.

I really don't want to do this but I have no choice. It's either jacob or risking my life and falling down a 13th floor building. To be honest I'm more scared of Jacob.

Another loud noise erupts through the apartment.

I quickly throw my legs over the balcony, close me eyes and jump.

I land in someone arms. I open my eyes and Deja let's go of me.

"are you alright" she says.

" yeah" I said.

I look over to Trevor and he has his arm around Zink. I know he's trying to help and all but jealously washes over me.

I look up to see Jacob throwing down the case of money and the gun he had. Then he jump down.
He picked up the money and gun.

"okay let's go this way" Josh said directing us to the sliding door that was for the balcony we were on.

Josh opened it. Surprisingly it wasn't locked.

We all walked inside the small apartment. Instead of walking into someone's room it was a living room. A Spanish looking guy snored on a couch. He wore a very tight undershirt that showed his lower stomach.

Beer bottles were everywhere. Ash trays and cigarettes sat on the ground in front of the dirty couch.

"shhhh" Josh said putting a finger over his mouth motioning us to not make any noise.

We quietly tip toed to the door. Making sure not to make any noises to wake this guy up.

I glance over at Tyla. She was about to kick over a beer bottle. Right when I was about to warn her she kicked it and it fell over and broke. Making a loud noise that I was sure to wake the guy up.

Our eyes in widen. We looked over to the guy and he eyes were open looking at us....
