That unpredictable thug love

Chapter (2)

***MJ (2 hours later )

My eyes slowly opened, pain in every inch of my body.

   I touched my head, it was wrapped along with both of my wrists. I was about to get up but winced. I raised the long white t-shirt I was wearing,  there was a big purple bruise on my rib cage.

   I looked around the room and realized I was at Wayne's house,  in one of his guest bedrooms. The lights were off, the only lightu was the streetlight streaming through the window indicating it was night time.

I managed to get up, but I guess I stood up to fast because I got hella dizzy and lost my balance, hitting the floor with a loud thud.

"Shit! " I mumbled to myself.

The door swung open. A tall, muscular guy with long light brown dreads and plump lips stood in the doorway. He was caramel skinned, but just a bit lighter, he almost looked a little Cuban. He was wearing a black muscle shirt showing his tattoos , some gray sweats with just the right amount of sagging and some elite sock with his Nike slides.

  His gold chain and earrings gleaming in the dim light.

One word: Ddddaammmnnnnn.

"You iight Mami? " He asked and walked over. He literally picked me up and sat me back down on the bed.

"Who are you? " I asked.

"Awl my bad, I'm Smokey's cousin Major, but you can call me Preston." He smiled,  his two dimples poked out. Oohh lawwd. 

"Karmela, but I'm sure you already know that. " I said, he nodded.

"So....What hap- "

"You sure you wanna know that? " He asked.

"I don't know,  should I? " I asked, on the verge of crying. He sighed.

"You were almost beatin to death by I don't know who, and you uh -" He pointed to my wrists. I let a tear fall. I can't believe I let them see me that way! I was beyond ashamed and embarrassed. He wiped my tear with his thumb, and gave me a comforting smile.

"Where's Essy? " I asked.

"She's in Wayne's room asleep with him. " He said.

"Uhhhhh, Katness is here." He said. I was about to get up but my head became light again, this time, Preston caught me.

"Easy ma. " He lifted me up on my feet, him being so tall and me hella short (5'7) made him have to bend down a little to help me walk. I held on to his waist while he managed to hold me up somehow.

   I walked into the living room to find Katness and a guy just a bit darker than Preston and about two inches shorter than him too. He had perfect waves and diamond earrings alike Preston's.

   Kat had dry tear streaks on her cheeks and her mascara was running down her face. She looked up at me and walked my way.

"You hungry? " She asked, I knew what she was doing.

"No. " I said.

"You thirsty? You want something to drink? " She asked.

"No Katness. " I said sternly, already knowing what was next.

"Then you wanna tell me why the FUCK you didn't tell me,  your best friend that you were still doing it!? " She yelled at me.

"Because you wouldn't und- "

"I don't understand??!! Wow Karmela !" She raised up her thick bracelets, her old scars Were barley noticeable from me and Preston's distance.

"And I wouldn't under- Lord I've gotta go, I'll see you tomorrow at school. " She stormed out, the guy ran after her.
