Taking Out A Player

Chapter 33

JayJay POV:

Cherry had fallen asleep, and I put her into her bed about an hour ago. I'm still in the living room watching a movie. I haven't heard anything from Dee yet. Cherry was outta it since Dee came. I know she was worried, and so was I, but I know that everything is gonna be fine. I felt my phone buzzed on the table. I got it and looked at the text message I've received.

Momma: hey baby boy... I haven't seen you around... Where you been?

Me: a lot have been going on... I haven't had a chance... I'll be over some time soon

Momma: why not come over now?

I thought for a second. Dee told me not to leave this house for nothing. Plus I can't leave Cherry by herself.

Me: sorry I can't... Some important had pop up that I need to handle

Momma: oh something more important than to see your own momma

Me: mom it's not even like that.. You know I love you

Momma: you starting to act like your brother and sister... They probably got into your head

Me: nawl mama.. I would see you but there is something I have to handle right now

My mom is tripping. She know I love her, but I don't want to hurt Cherry or get hurt by trying to see her for five minutes. I waited a few minutes before I got a text.

Momma: I get it now... You finally decided to make a drop

I frowned.

Me: I'm not selling drugs

Momma: don't worry baby I won't tell no one... Stay safe and love you

Me: I'm really not selling so there's nothing to tell... Love you too

I shook my head. Why the hell would my mom think I'm doing drugs. She always assume that I'm doing all this street shit. Ima admit that I used to do that shit, but since Dee beat my ass and an almost baby and disease got to me, that changed my life. I don't ever want to do that again.

Just then a knock came to the door. I quietly walked up to the door. I looked out the peephole and saw a man there with a box of pizza. Why the hell is he here with pizza? We didn't order any at this time of night. He knocked again and said, "Pizza delivery!"

I backed away from the door. Hopefully he'll give up and walk away. After a while, the man walked away from the door. I let out a sigh in relief. I sat back down. I played the movie again, but had the volume down. I sat back and watch for a minute. My eyes were getting heavy. Suddenly, I heard screaming from upstairs and two gunshots. I grab the bat Cherry had given me and rush upstairs. I burst open the door.

I saw Cherry in the bed with the gun pointed straight out in front of her. Following the direction the gun was pointed in, I saw the same guy that was outside with the pizza on the ground with blood around him.

"I've... killed him," Cherry mumbled in shock.

I went over to him and checked him. He sho' was dead. I removed the gun from him. I also found his cell phone. I picked it up. As soon as I did, it had vibrated in my hand.

???: is the job done?

I guess the other person meant killing Cherry.

Me: yea

???: good... You can get yo piece tomar

So homeboy right here was hired to kill her. I guess this Star girl don't give no fuck about being friends with Cherry.
