Recovery

Chapter 17

I sighed dramatically as i plopped down on my bed. well its been 2 weeks since the whole incident happened.  i eventually had to come back home because after all i still have school and besides my parents are coming home soon and they're unaware of whats been going on. but me and chres aint been the same. we never talk i don't wake him up for school anymore and to be honest im kind of scared being here with him alone. what if he get drunk and hits me again? who will save me? no one. because no one will be here but us.

i opened up my room door heading down stairs until i heard voices by the front door. i stopped in the middle of the stair well to listen. "what the fuck do you mean your pregnant?" chres shouted. i heard sobs

" im sorry but it just happened!" a females voice cried out.

" it aint mine!" chres screamed in defense.

" yes it is! i was a virgin before you took it. your the only person iv been having sex with and you never used protection any of the times!" she explained as i listened closer i started recognizing the voice. oh shit.... thats lauren.

" fuck!" chres screamed out frustrated. " how far along are you?" he asked her.

" only a few weeks." she told him.

" your getting rid of it." he demanded.

" what?" she exclaimed.

" i said you getting rid of that damn baby! tomorrow were going to the clinic and your getting an abortion." he told her.

" you can't make me give up my baby!" she cried.

" watch me." he said to her coldly.

" i won't do it." lauren said as she continued to sob.

" You will do it. its either that or ill beat the shit out of you until you miscarriage. " chres growled. i gasped as i covered my mouth. lauren sobs got louder.

" what happened to you?...you've changed!" she screamed.

" ask me if i give a fuck."chres smiled. " and i want you to go and tell anyone about this shit and ill have your ass killed. im not playing." he warned her. "no matter what you do that baby still is dying you or that little fucker wont ruin my life." chres growled at her.

" i hate you" lauren shouted at him. i kinda felt bad for her. but not that much because after all i did warn her.

" get the fuck away from my door bitch." jacob snarled as he slammed the door in her face. he walked to the stairs to catch me listening.

" nosey ass bitch." chres spat at me as he shoved passed me going upstairs.... i can't believe what my brother has become iv never seen this side of him until jacob came along.... chresanto is truly becoming a monster.

 i grabbed a bag then headed out to my car. i was going to Inglewood like always. i didn't feel safe here anymore and until my parents come back then im not staying here with his crazy ass. 30 minutes later i pulled up in front of jacob's house calling him. " yo?" He answered in a deep sleepy voice.

" sorry i didn't mean to wake you... but can you come outside to get me?" i asked him.

" of course." he said before ending the call. when i looked over i saw jacob standing in the door way with his pistol in hand he stood there only in basketball shorts rubbing his eye with his free hand. i quickly grabbed my bag getting out of the car. when i walked into the house he locked the door and we went up to his room. "thanks" i mumbled.

"you know its not a problem." he said as he laid back in bed. " come here." he said in his same sleepy voice. i took off my jacket and jeans getting comfortable  leaving me only in my boy shorts and tank top. i climbed in bed with jacob getting under the cover. i placed my head on his chest as he held me. i stared down at his chest reading his tattoos that i never really paid much attention to before. my eyes landed on one specific tattoo that said the name "Alexis" written in cursive letters with a broken heart. i scrunched my eyebrows together as i continued to stare at it confused. " jacob?" i said to see if he was still awake.

" yes?" he said in a low tone.

" who is Alexis?" i asked. the room filled with silence as soon as i said that. after what seemed like forever he finally answered. " My sister." he said in a low tone but sounding more awake this time.

" you have a sister?" I questioned confused. " why come i never seen her?" i asked him. i heard him swallow hard.

" shes dead." he mumbled. i instantly felt bad for questioning him. " oh my god... im so sorry." i told him.

" its fine... it was years ago." he said. i stayed quiet for a while wondering if i should ask this next question.

" what happened?" i asked him. he let out a deep breath before he started.

"11 years ago when i was only 7 years old my dad left us to go start his new family with that bitch Sarah angel's mom. but once he left shit got real rough for my family. moms was working 2 jobs that was paying her less that minimum wage and that wasn't enough to pay the bills and take care of us and my dad didn't give a shit about what we were going through he was living  it up over there in the suburbs. " jacob started

"Alexis was only 16 at the moment she wanted to help moms with the bills and shit but every time she filled out an application they never called her back so she soon gave up on finding a real job. living in Inglewood she instantly picked up on the hustle of prostitution after trying it out for alittle while she realized it was fast money and since she was so pretty everybody wanted some of her, men and women she made alot of money. Alexis was doing anything she had to for money. after 3 years of selling her body she was used to it. she knew everything about the hood she knew who to stay away from and she could spot a cop trying to bust her easily. this became a normal job for her. nobody really knew that Alexis was a prostitute except for me. she told me all her secrets she said that i was the only one who she could trust. " he said in a saddened tone.

"she taught me alot of things about how to survive in Inglewood and i listened to everything she said i looked up to her. she was such an amazing big sister she would always buy me new shoes and anything else i asked for she promised that she would always be there for me. and she was. everything was going good for once. " he smiled.

"until one night Alexis left out for work around 12:30. i waited up for her like always but once sunrise i noticed she still wasn't home which caused me to worry it wasn't like alexis to stay out that long. so i ran into the living room to tell mom that Lexi never came home but when i walked into the living room two officers stood there with looks of sorrow as they watched my mom cry her eyes out. i had no clue what was going on until my mom told me that they found lexi's body in a garbage can. from what the detectives say she was raped and beat and they slit her throat......." jacob explained.

i teared up as i listened to his story it had to be the saddest shit iv ever heard.

" that day my whole world changed. moms was still struggling so i knew i had to step up and help her. i thought back to what lexi told me about how to hustle, she explained to me about who to go to and everything if anything ever happened to her. i ended up going to Will's big brother like she told me."

" alexis and Will's brother James were like heavy in love. once i told him what happened he excepted me instantly with open arms. he taught me and will everything he knew about the drugs business  and about everything that we needed to know to survive in Inglewood. he even taught us how to use guns. and once he thought we were ready he put us out there on our own.After james was killed in a shot out will had lost his cool. we both were enraged of the death of our loved ones and we plotted to get revenge by any means necessary. and that exactly what we did." jacob informed me.

"alittle while after that is when me and will met Nina, Ron, White boy and lesley every since then we all been together we ride for one another its that how its always been. We all had our own reasons about why we did the shit that we did.its not like we just decided to be killers people pushed us to that point. the only thing we wanted to do was live a normal kid life and unfortunately that never happened. We all been through so much shit and thats the reason why we the coldblooded killers that we grew up to be." jacob explained. i laid there quiet as i took it all in. Jacob had a rough child hood now i understand why he turned out the way he did.....
