Chapter 5

"Sometimes people do bad things and some bad things happen. People don't mean to do those bad things but sometimes the outcome is for the best. At least I think it is."

I sat in my car waiting for the memo for Jodi and I to go in my aunts vacant house. Jodi's cousin Tracy was gonna help us out since he was used to stuff like this. Tracy gave us the go and we walked casually to the house. Jodi's friend Johnny would be guarding the door. I grabbed the spare key from under the mat like I've done several times and we got in with ease.

"It's upstairs in Taj's old room come on."

I grabbed his hand and we walked quickly up the stairs. When we got to his room I went to where the money was and quickly began to throw bank rolls into the bag.

"Hurry up J we gotta go."

"I'm going as fast as I can Jodi."

I finished up and we exited the room the same way we came in. On my way down stairs I heard gunshots ringing which made me go down even faster. When I got to the hall by the door I nearly fainted.

"Taj !?" I screamed as I ran to his bloody limp body that layed next to my aunt's only to be grabbed by Jodi.

"Come on baby we gotta go the cops will come and make sure they alright ."

"No ! I can't leave them here." Without saying nothing Jodi picked me up over his shoulder and ran out the house with Johnny and Tracy. I kicked and punched his back but before I knew it we were pulling off. I was devastated and mad and I wanted to know who did this shit.

I sat in the back with Jodi while Tracy drove in silence I squinted my eyes at him then Johnny.

"Who shot them?" I said with my voice cracking. Johnny and Tracy looked at each other and Tracy shook his head.

"Me." Johnny said in a chuckle. The fact that he found it funny made me mad. He most likely killed my blood and here he was laughing.

I shook my head digging around my purse while Jodi typed away on his phone nonchalantly and slid on four rings. I wouldn't kill him but I was about to beat his ass in this car. After sliding on my rings I quickly cocked my hand back and swung on the side of his head causing blood to pour from his ear as he held it in pain. Jodi's eyes widened in shock and Tracy just drove like nothing had happened.

"You fucking bitch." He yelled as his face turned red and his ear was split open. He turned ready to pounce at me but Jodi sat up daring him to touch me. He glared at me angrily.

"You better sit your happy ass down before I do it again ." I said not really caring at all because he deserved it. My brother could've been with them. She could've picked him up early from school and he could've been shot too. That woulda been a real problem.

We drove for a few minutes until I got a call saying two of my family members were at the hospital.

"Go to the hospital please Taj's there." I said to Tracy and he immediately nodded and made a U-turn heading in the direction of the hospital.

"If you killed Taj I'm gonna kill you and that's on my parents." I said to Johnny without looking at him and I meant that shit.

"Chill nobody's dying man." Jodi said like he didn't care that my cousin or my aunt had just gotten shot.

"Damn Jodi show some damn remorse and just be here okay. I don't give a fuck if you don't care but I do." I snapped watching him clench then unclench his jaw. I didn't care about his little temper tantrum. This wasn't about him this was about my family and he really didn't matter right now.
