Forever My Love

Chapter 9

"Me and Chris went outside to his car across the street. I'm pretty sure you might know why but that's not what I'm talking about. Anyways, we was just doing our own thing and someone knocked on the tinted windows. We put our stuff back on and he got his gun from underneath the drivers seat and opened the door."

"You got my money nigga?" A tall, dark and kind of buff man said.

"I told you, I'll have it by next week. I swear."

"Nah Chris, yo time is up." He said pulling him out of the car punching him.

"I ran as fast as I could back to the party. I was looking for Jay but I didn't see her. Then all of a sudden I heard gun shots and screaming. I got down to protect myself but I felt a pair of hands pick me up and put me over their shoulder. I tried to get loose but he was too strong. I was thrown into a car with Chris and they tied our hands together. He was knocked out so I started crying. They was driving really fast so the police couldn't catch up to them and next thing I know where being flipped around in the car. I wake up and the two men were gone. Chris was still out and he was bleeding from his side, but not a lot so I tried to wake him up. After a few tries, he opened his eyes and looked at me."

"You okay Nyla?!" He asked.

"I think, are you? I'm scared. What the fuck just happened!?"

"I'm good and I know but we gotta get out of here and take you to the hospital. But don't worry about it, I'll tell you later."

"Okay. Let's go."

"We managed to get out of the car even though it was upside down with glass everywhere. I got out first and helped him. He was still bleeding a little bit on his side but he looked like nothing even happened. But anyways we waked to the hospital. It took us about three hours to get there. He told me not to say anything to anyone when we got there and I promised. We just said we got a ride from someone and we got into a crash. And that we didn't know them. Then that's when y'all came."

"Oh my gosh Nyla, whenever I find out who it is, they asses is dead. I swear. I can't believe this all happened." Jayden started to cry.

"Do you know what they looked like?" Terrence asked.

"Not really. They were both dressed in all black. And they were both dark skinned with nappy fro's but one had shorter hair. The one driving was tall and the other one.. Eh, not so much."

"Shit. Ima try to find out for you Ny, you like a sister to me and that really pisses me off. Chris better tell me whats going on or I'm beating his ass. I know that's my bro n all but you're more important and he shouldn't have had you in that mess. He could've got y'all both killed." Terrence said angrily.

"I don't think he knew any of this would happen. I'm just glad we made it out alive and okay." Nyla said starting to cry again. Jayden hugged her.

"Me too girl, me too. Now, enough of this. We need to go to sleep. It's damn near six o'clock in the morning." Jayden took Nyla to her room and came back out to clean up the living room.

"You okay Jay?" Terrence put his arms around her as he saw the tears run down her face as she straightened up the pillows on the couch. She turned around and put her face into his chest crying softly but sniffling a little.

"I almost lost my best friend. I love her, T. That would've been like losing you or my momma. I could've still been at that party during the drive by if it wasn't for you. I understand exactly why you don't like me going to parties."

"I know baby girl. I'm glad y'all made it safe. Someone was watching over you. I thank God nothing worse happened." He said wiping her tears away and kissing her cheek. "Now let's go to bed, you been up wayy past your bed time Lil girl." He joked.

"Whatever." She laughed. "Goodnight big head."

"Night punk." He smiled and grabbed her butt a little on their way down the hallway. She looked back at him pushing his hand away giggling. He winked at her and went to the guest room while she went to hers with Nyla. She was fast asleep snoring like a pig.

She laughed to herself and changed into her pajamas an went straight to sleep in no time.
