Recovery

chapter 9

that very next day jacob's secret was out, everyone at school knew about his past and the kind of person he was. of course people judged him and others were scared. jacob expected that but what he didn't expect is his own family to turn against him. lets take it back to the other day when his family had just found out.

Angel ran into his room with her phone in hand. "you know the streets been talking." she said  with attitude.  

" and you telling me this because?" jacob asked unamused by the conversation.

" i know about your past, your a murderer!" angel shouted. jacob was surprised for a second he didn't think the news would get around that fast. "and i heard how prod and all them tied you up and beat the shit out of you, no wonder you got all them bruises. you deserved all of that YOU KILLED A FUCKING CHILD!" angel screamed getting louder. ya see the old jacob would have smacked the shit out of angel for speaking to him in that tone. but this new jacob handled things alittle differently. " get the fuck out my room angel!" he screamed at her.

" or what? you gone shoot me?!" she teased. Mr and Mrs jackson came running into the room.

" what is going on in here?!" Mr jackson screamed.  

"jacob's mad because his little secret got out... hes a murderer dad! he even killed kids!" angel screamed. but mr jackson remained silent. he wasn't fazed at all because he already knew.... he excepted his son even tho he made all of those mistakes, he was willing to help him change for the better.

" oh my." mrs jackson gasped as she covered her mouth. " is this true?" she asked? jacob clenched his jaw then looked at his dad....

" yea, its true." he told her.  and later that night jacob over heard Mr And Mrs jackson arguing in the room, it was about him of course. 

" i don't want him living here." Angel's mom Mrs jackson said.

" and why the hell not?" mr jackson questioned.

" because hes dangerous! if he can kill kids just imagine what he would do to us. " mrs jackson told him.

" thats ridiculous! he wouldn't dare harm us." mr jackson said defending his son.

" and how do you know?!" mrs jackson continued to argue.

" because i know my son!" he screamed back at her. " hes my kid and he will live here as long as he wants and until you start paying bills around this mother fucka i suggest you keep your damn mouth closed." mr jackson growled out of frustration. he wasn't going to allow her or anybody else talk down on his son when they didn't even know the story. but once jacob heard all of the drama he was done. he wanted out. if mrs jackson didn't want him there then he would leave. he went into his room packing all his stuff up. all of those things his family said about him hurt, it cut him deep. but of course he wasn't going to show it. once he had all his stuff he left the house without no one even knowing. he got into his car and headed back to his real home where people excepted him for him, none of his friends wanted to change him they all liked jacob for the person he really was.

i glanced in the mirror one more time looking at my appearance. i shrugged then grabbed my phone off of the charger. i walked down stairs going pass my brother and his friends. " where you going?" chres asked. i rolled my eyes and walked out the door. i still can't believe what happened the other day. but chres is wrong to for doing him like that. they didn't have to beat him and jacob thinks i set him  up!  so now im going to talk to him, i just have to. judge me all you want i really don't care. i drove to the address that jacob texted me. as i parked in the front of the house i looked around the neighborhood it looked way different than mines. this was definitely Inglewood. i took out my phone calling jacob.

" yooo" he answered.

"hey im here...... would you mind uh coming out to my car to get me... im kinda scared." i admitted.  i heard him chuckle.

" here i come."

 i ended the call as i locked my car doors looking out the window until i saw jacob coming out of the house. " come out now." he said chuckling. i sighed as i took my keys out getting out the car. i gripped onto my purse tightly as i walked over towards jacob. he continued to laugh being amused by how scared i was. " its not funny." i pouted.

" just calm down... you with me, aint nobody gone touch you." he assured me.  he lead me inside of the small house. it actually didn't look that bad... it was clean and put together nicely it looked way better than on the outside. he walked pass a bed room and opened the door peeking his head in. " aye ma, you ight?" he asked.

" ill be fine sweetie." his mom responded followed by a cough. he sighed then walked back down the stairs " im just going to make her some tea real quick the we can talk."  he said.i nodded. after 5 minutes he was done making the tea he took it back up to his mom and she thanked him then he lead me across the hall into a different bed room. 

" so that was your real mom?" i asked him.  

" yea, that bitch my dad is with aint my moms." he told me. i nodded. " but my ma aint been feeling to good. and it pisses me off knowing theres not a damn thing i can do about it." he said as he clenched his jaw.

" sorry to hear that." i said softly.

" its good.....anyways what you doing on this side? does yo punk ass brother know you came to talk to me? " he asked me. i kissed my teeth.

" fuck what chresanto got to say. he doesn't run my life. and its so fucked up how they did you... im sorry that happened." i told him truthfully.he chuckled

" don't even sweat it... what they did was nothing." he laughed.

" but you still didn't deserve it.... and you gotta believe me, i swear i didn't set you up!" I exclaimed.

" i know." he said simply.

" really?" i asked him.

" yea... you think i would still be talking to you if i thought you set me up? besides,i could tell by the look in your eyes." he said. i smiled.

" good because you gotta know, i would NEVER set you up..... im loyal. you see im still around even after all that shit i found out." i told him. he nodded.

" so you don't care that im a murderer?" he asked.

" nope." i said with a smile.

" and you don't care that i sell drugs and killed those kids?" he asked

" i was mad at first but not any more... its going to take my brother  alot more than airing out your past for me to stop seeing you." i said with a smile. he smirked at me then pulled me onto his lap.... jacob never really cared about a girl before so all this was new to him. growing up in the hood he was taught that hoes can't be trusted. but he was starting to disagree with that because it was obvious that i was a Ride or die chick. he felt as if he could trust me.... and that made me happy. if my brother thought he would tear me and jacob apart he was wrong because he didn't do nothing but bring us closer...... jacob can't be THAT dangerous........ or can he?
