Nothing lasts forever

Again

We had just gotten back to London and I was absolutely exhausted and so was Alyssia. "You know you look like a fool right now, it's freezing cold, the sun isn't even out yet you're wearing shades", I said to her. "I am absolutely knackered and I'm not letting Jermaine see me like this", she snapped. "Am I smelling attitude", I wagged my finger in front of my nose causing her to crack a smile. We wheeled our suitcases to the exit and as we got nearer Jermaine and Chris's figures were coming into focus. I ran towards Chris practically falling into his muscular arms. I enhaled his scent, no matter how many of his T-shirts I slept in whilst on holiday it could never compare to the real thing. "I missed you so much, never leave me again", he murmured into my hair stroking my back. "I missed you too". We all got into the car, Alyssia and I immediately fell asleep. I could hear Jermaine and Chris's deep voices attempting to whisper, me being nosy I pretended to be asleep. "When you gonna tell her?", Jermaine asked. "I don't know, I don't want to scare her", Chris sighed tapping the steering wheel. "We're all scared, she has to know", Jermaine said. They could be talking about anything, that's the worrying part. Is Chris okay? Why would I be scared? So many different questions ran through my mind. The car slowed down and eventually stopped, I heard Jermaine unbuckle his seatbelt and wake up Alyssia, Chris planted a million kisses all over my face as I "woke up". "I know you're awake baby, how much of me and Jermaine's conversation did you hear", he said looking down, I lifted his chin up looking into his eyes he seemed fearful, "I heard from when Jermaine asked when you were gonna tell me. Is it bad news, please tell me.", I pleaded. "I'll tell you later, come on let's get your suitcase and go inside". I unbuckled the seatbelt and climbed out to help Chris who was hauling my case out of the boot.

We were settled inside and had eaten when the boys asked how was Carnival. I sighed remembering that Isiah was there, "It could of been better but Isiah was there. He kept tryna wine on me and shit but I pushed him off he so fucking persistent. Luckily Cameron was there to help. Then some Trinidadian bruddah try holla at me and Isiah stepped in and said that I had to repay him and shit. The same guy who we learnt was called James also tried to holla at Alyssia but Cameron helped her. Isiah was such a piss take", I regained my breath. Cameron and Chris both sat there with their mouths wide open, Chris expression of shock soon turned to anger. "That nigga Isiah try get at you, fuck no, where that nigga stay!", he shouted. "Ooh shit are we raising his house again, he lives down the road", Alyssia smiled clapping. "Oh man again", I stroked Chris's bicep trying to calm him. "Fuck yeah again, let's all change into something comfortable we got work to do", he rubbed his hands together walking upstairs and I trailed behind still trying to change his mind. I changed into my all black Nike tracksuit and my visor, Chris was wearing his matching tracksuit but he wasn't wearing a hat or visor. "You ready baby?", he kissed my forehead twirling me around. "I guess" , we went downstairs to see Alyssia and Jermaine tying each others bandanas. "Y'all ready?", Jermaine asked, we all nodded and climbed into the car. Chris plugged in his phone and played Kendrick Lamar M.a.a.d city, this song always got us fired up but this time I wasn't feeling it. "Come on Tiana get angry", Jermaine said bopping his head. "I can't". "Let me refresh your memory, he cheated on you with Jani, he forgot your birthday, he only dated you to get over Jordan, he kissed your best friend at the time Janelle, he never showed you any love, he does petty shit just to get you angry - do I need to carry on", Alyssia counted on her fingers. "Nah it's cool I'm ready, come on let's get this nigga". I was truly fired up and ready. We all climbed out except for Jermaine who was the getaway driver, we went to the trunk, "here take these", Chris handed us all a baseball bat I was too pissed to question why he had them. "Come on let's go", we got into the block and took the lift, it was silent and the only thing that could be heard was the tap our feet to the elevator music. We got out into the dark hallway and Chris banged on Isiah's door. "Who the fuck is banging on my door at this time as if they the motherfucking police. Oh shit it's the jakes", he opened the door a fraction to peek out. "Surprise motherfucker", Alyssia and Chris said at the same time, bursting past him. "Which bitch you got up in here this time", I looked around I burst down his bedroom door and saw Janelle there lying in bed. "Hey Tiana, black is a nice colour on you by the way", she smirked smugly. "Isiah last time I checked you hated this bitch", I shouted at him.

Flashback

"I hate that bitch", I said with anger. "I hate her too, I had a dream that I beat her up", Alyssia said balling up her fists. "Yeah I hate her too", Isiah stepped in between us. I laughed at him, "you don't hate her I swear you liked her, you always hanging out with her friends". "Nah I prefer you, plus Janelle is a hoe and a bitch she's so clapped", he said linking my arm. "Well anyways in my dream I grabbed her by her weave and pulled her tracks straight out", laughed Alyssia, I high fived her. "I wanna square her in her jaw", I clenched my fist punching the air. "Yeah! Kick her till her face bleeds and slam her into the wall and then - ", I interrupted him, "we get the point you hate her".

"Isiah you need to back off my girl. She told me bout your carnival antics", Chris swung his baseball bat at the glass clock above Isiah causing the shards to fall onto his head. "That bitch is lying", he shouted. "Don't ever call my girl a bitch", Chris punched Isiah square in the jaw and next thing you know they're on the floor fighting. I looked over to see Janelle picking up her phone, "put it down", I ran up to her slapping it out her hand. She attempted to slap me but Alyssia had pulled her back by her pony tail - well the pony's tail. "Get off me", Janelle shouted. "Yo Tiana look for the gun again", Alyssia said while slapping Janelle. I ran to the bathroom and once again pushed past the Xannax pills and Codeine bottles to find his gun, this nigga really didn't learn from the last time. I ran back to the living room where Alyssia had now dragged Janelle out, I pulled the gun to her temple and she shook with fear. I looked over to see a half conscious Isiah sitting on the blood stained couch, picture frames were broken, the shelving was dismantled, the table was in splinters and the baseball bat had splatters of blood on it. Chris was just chilling in a corner shaking his head at Isiah. "Baby you good", I asked him, he came over and wrapped his arms around me, "I'm good that weak as boy over there barely touched me, I only got s scratch and that's it, punk ass bitch", he laughed at Isiah who had now toppled over. "Where's his room at I want to cut up his shoes and shit", I pointed him in the direction of his room. Minutes later he came back with a trunk full of shoes and some scissors. Some of the shoes were Isiah's and some looked like Janelles. "You better not touch my shoes", she spat. "Shut up bitch", I slapped her with my gun causing her to spit blood, she slapped me and Alyssia grabbed a chair and hit her with it. "Fuck you bitch", Janelle grabbed the nearest lamp and threw it at me, I ran and jumped on her as she fell through the glass coffee table, I staggered to my feet and kicked her in the stomach, Alyssia came and joined me until Janelles eyes slowly closed. "Chris come on let's go", "Aight", while we were beating up Janelle he had managed to cut up several pairs of Jordans, Airmax's, Puma's and a couple of Janelle's heels.

"You guys did all that?", Jermaine laughed once we were in the comfort of our own home. We laughed reminiscing at tonight. "Chris, why you barely got a mark on your face", Jermaine asked. "He's a punk pussy, nothing more than a lil bitch with no bite", Chris laughed.  "I can't believe we did that", I said. Alyssia laughed, "again".
