WANTED

Mind Your own business! {Chapter Two}

Last night I arrived home almost around 9:45pm.
I guess the ride from Tyson wasn't a bad idea...or maybe it was.
Because I knew he was going to tell me to be careful whenever I came to see him or the guys.
The reason Tyson didn't like me visiting him was because he was scared ( which is saying a lot, because he wasn't scared of anything)...anyway he was scared that his gang enemies would hurt me to get to him.
And those gangs didn't have mercy.
Believe me.
Tyson and i actually met in a funny way.
▪▪▪▪◀
A year ago, I kind of ran away from home because Bob was all up in my face.
So I left home, it was around 10:03pm and there I was walking. I didn't even realise that I had crossed the gang territory where fights usually happened.
Long story short, if it wasn't for Tyson I would have gotten shot at by a stray bullet.

He was so angry at me for putting myself in danger and compromising his gangs position.
I was battling my own battle I didn't have time for some stranger yelling at me.
And I let him know.
I gave him a piece of my mind and I turned on my heels and headed home.

I guess you can say he stopped me from running away.
Weeks later I ran into him and his friends at the mall, he gave me his piece of mind for ruining the fight between his gang and the other gang.
His friends on the other hand seemed to like me, because they thought I was brave for not freaking out about the gang fight.
To cut an even longer story short, I hanged out with Hacker, Speed and Caleb and eventually with Tyson.
After a while Tyson and I started to date.

We broke up about 15 times, mainly because I didn't like his gang life and he didn't want me to get hurt.
But we always got back together.
I was his weakness and he was my weakness.
To think about it...our relationship was pretty messed up.
But we loved each other.
▪▪▪▪◀
The next morning I went grocery shopping with my mom, I hated grocery shopping.
I hated it even more when people looked at my mom with pity and even disgust.
All because she was abused by her husband.
Some women even blamed her for Bob's outburst, they said it was her fault.

Instead of standing up against women abuse, they stood for it.
We surely do live in a sad world.
Fortunately some women supported my mom, they tried to help her cope with the abuse...but my mother, pushed them away.
She didn't have as much friends as before.
When we went to the fruit & veg section, a lady started whispering something in her friends ear, they both looked at my mother and began to giggle.

Damn them!
How dare they make fun of my mother, it wasn't her fault that she was getting abused.

"What the hell are you laughing at!" I demanded, glaring at them," Have you never seen people with scars before? Huh? You two are disgusting with a capital D!"

"Sweetheart, just ignore them," my mom said quickly picking up what she wanted and walked away.

"You two mind your own business!" I hissed.

They quickly walked away, leaving me feeling so angry I wanted to punch something.
I even shaking with anger, I leaned against one of the fridges and took several breaths to calm myself.
I was about to go and find my mom when my phone rang.

"What!" I snapped.

"Courtney, it's me." Speed said.

He sounded worried, but I was too angry to wonder why.

"Now is not really a good time," I said.

"It's Tyson," he said," It's bad."
My heart skipped a beat.

"What's wrong?" I asked getting a sinking feeling." Please don't tell me he's dead."

"Not yet," he answered."Listen, he's all hot and sweaty and he's breathing hard. I am worried."
