Can't Escape

Nervous Wreck

Jordyn's POV

Last night I went to sleep crying my eyes out. I just cried and cried

But that didn't get Shawn back into prison where he belonged.

I woke up drained, like all the water in my body poured out while I cried.

I slowly walked to the bathroom and looked at my reflection in the mirror

I looked like a different person. My hair was all over the place, I had bags under my eyes, my salty tears left stains on my face, showing that I had cried

My eyes had no life in it...

I brushed my teeth and stepped in the shower

The water was burning hot, but I didn't care, it actually soothed me

I got ready and went to my dad's room, to see if he got back home, from last night

I opened the door and saw Isaiah standing near the dresser with something in his hand

He hid the object behind his back and that just made me even more suspicious

I stepped up to him and he got so nervous, that I saw sweat drip down his forehead

I grabbed the arm that was behind his back and pulled it back to where I could see it

It was a gun.

"What is this, Isaiah" I said to him hurt

He turned away from me

"Nah nigga, you need to face me, you started this problem"

He continued to look away

I grabbed his face and turned it towards me

"What are you doing with a gun?!"

"I have a gun because of you! Nobody gonna hurt my sister...nobody. Especially if I have a gun for protection" he said with tears in his eyes

I pulled him in and hugged him tightly.

He started to cry on my shoulder,

It broke my heart to see him like this

I pulled away from him, with my hands on his shoulders, looking into his eyes

"Listen to me, you going to put this gun away. I don't want to see another gun in your hands again, you understand me".

He nodded his head and put the gun back into the drawer.

I wiped the tears from his face.

"We've cried enough tears", I said

We left to school and walked there quietly

We entered the school and went our separate ways as usual

I walked to my locker and put in books from bag.

I closed my locker and was frightened by a scream and laughter

It was Trevor and instead of cursing him out I just walked away because I really didn't have time to be annoyed

He grabbed my arm, pulling me back to the lockers

"Girl, why you being rude, you can't say hi to people" he said smiling

I continued not to say anything to him, but he just kept talking

"Did you remember our date today" He asked

I forgot about the date...

"Um, I can't go" I say looking down at my Adidas

This look he gave, made me feel so guilty

Disappointment

"Why not" he asked

" I'm having issues right now" I say looking away from him

He sighs. "Alright. It's cool, maybe later".

I walk away to class, plugging in my earbuds, blasting "Say It" by Tory Lanez

-----------------------------------------------------------

School ended, me and Isaiah  are walking to the park to hang out a little

We haven't hanged out ever since we moved here and I kind of missed stuff like that

A car pulled up next to us and it's the guy it's always been.

Trevor...

He rolls down the window and my brother steps in front of me, but I push him back

"Didn't I tell you I couldn't come on the date" I say

"Date?! Y'all better be talking about the month, day, and year!" Isaiah yelled

But me and Trevor were playing this game called ignore the 15 year old named Isaiah

" I said that we could go later... which is now"

I sucked my teeth and sighed. " Isaiah, we'll go to the park tomorrow, I got to go on a date I never agreed on", I say walking to the other side of the car and opening the door," There's some leftover Popeyes in the fridge, sorry".

He stood there shaking his head, with his lips curled up and hands on his hips

Trevor started the car,  and began to drive off

I looked out the window, back at Isaiah and he was in the middle of the street

He yelled," Watch when you walking home, and a bum come out of nowhere and give you a bum bump"

(Shoutout to my bitch Shakera aka LiveBright)

I laughed my ass off. The first time I laughed all day.

"What's his problem? Why he got beef with me" Trevor asked

" Who Isaiah?"

"No, Obama", he said in a sarcastic tone, "Yes, Isaiah, is that you're boyfriend?".

I looked at him like nigga are you crazy. I busted out laughing.

"What's so funny?", he said in a demanding voice

"Nigga, you asked me out, so calm down" I said still laughing, " First of all, he 15. Secondly, he's not my type, especially since he's my brother, and I don't know about you, but I'm not into incest".

He sat there feeling stupid because he didn't say anything for like 5 minutes.

"Stop being all quiet, it was a mistake, you didn't know",  I say

He turns to me and smiles, " So that's you're brother, huh?"

"Yea".

"So why he don't like his future brother-in-law"

"His what?!" I say laughing, "No nigga, but he doesn't like you because he's protective over me, even though I'm the oldest one out of both of us".

"Makes sense...welp, we're here"

I look out the window and I see this big restaurant, called T-Bone

Trevor opens my side of the door when he steps outside.

"Let me help you there my lady"

I playfully roll my eyes and step out

He closes the door behind me, and turns to me staring into my eyes and I looked into his

He leaned in to my face and I immediately stepped back

"Woah there, we didn't even start the date and you already trying to get some" I say

"Baby, I've been trying to get with you since the first day I met you" he said a little more serious before smirking at me.

We begin to walk into the restaurant and he puts his arm around me

I push it off, but it just comes right back

I sigh. This is gonna be a long date
