Recovery

chapter 19

" You ready?" Jacob asked.

" Yea..." i said as i pulled my shorts over my swim suit bottoms. he smiled at me then grabbed my hand we walked out of the house going getting into will's truck with the rest of his friend's

" sup yall" jacob greeted them.

" jakeeeeeeeeeeeeee" they all cheered. i chuckled. what i love most about these guys is that they never let anyhting come between them. even tho they hated how jacob was changing that didn't stop them from loving him any less. he was still apart of their lil family and thats how it was always gone be. after driving for 10 mintues we pulled up to the beach it was hot so the whole hood was there.

it was hella people there and everything was going fine until jacob said something that made my heart race.. in the bad way. " babe, lets get in the water." he suggested. i looked down at my bathing suit then back up at him. even tho i wore it didn't mean i planned on using it.

" umm..." i said trying to find an excuse.

" come on babe, its hot as hell out here." jacob complained.

" i don't want to tho..." i said lowly. he smacked his lips.

" so we just suppose to sit here while everybody in the water?" he asked. i looked around and he was right everybody was in the water but most of the girls only had their feet in careful not to wet they weave.

" well sorry." i said sarcasticallyy

" why you wear a swim suit if you aint plan on getting in the water?" he asked me.

" because its cute." i said simply. he smacked his lips again.

" lyric you being irritating come on." he said grabbing my hand pulling me towards the water. but i dropped down on the sand so he couldn't pull me any further. but that didn't stop him he bent down and picked me up running towards the water and thats when i started screaming nobody paid much attention they were too busy having fun. jacob put me down looking at me weird but what he didn't know it that i was truly scared... more like terrified.

" what the fuck lyric." he said as he continued to look at me weirdly.

" i can't fucking swim !" I spat.

" wait what?" he asked wanting me to repeat myself.

" i said i can't swim. i mumbled he continued to look at me until he busted out laughing.

" oh shit." he said still laughing. i rolled my eyes.

" its not fucking funny." i growled. he continued to laugh uncontrollably until he saw how serious i was.

" wait.. so your telling me you 18 years old and aint never been swimming?" he asked me.

" iv been swimming once... and i almost drowned my brother saved me.and that day i vowed i would never get in water that deep again. and ever since then iv been terrified." i explained.

" damn..." he said in shock.

" yea.. so you go ahead and get in the water...ill wait here." i said sitting back on my towel. he looked at his friends who were in the water then back at me. he sighed as he plopped down onto my towel next to me i looked at him confused. " you know damn well i aint leaving you over here." he said with a smile. i cheesed and kissed him on his lips. seconds later the sound of a gun blared through the air.

"i swear to god. you can't do shit in Inglewood without somebody getting shot." jacob complained as he helped me up everybody started running but jacob and his friends weren't fazed.

will,lesley, ron, Nina and whiteboy grabbed their jeans which contained their guns inside they all got their pistols out cocking them back and instantly started bussing back at the group of people that was shooting at them. turns out it was a gang from the west side who didn't like anybody on this side of town just because...
