" Ayee bruh! Wake up! " James shook Jeremiah trying to wake him up. " huhhh??? " Jeremiah rolled over " Come on. Some girl on the phone " Jeremiah instantly got happy hoping it was Crystal he grabbed the phone " yeah? " Jeremiah answered. " Hey it's Jacqueline. I was wondering could you go with me tonight to the movies? " Jeremiah smiled "Naah,  I got plans" without saying another word he hung up. " Dang, who was that? " James asked " Jacqueline "... " Bruh! You turned her down for what?? She so fine plus she the easiest girl I know! " James said, Jeremiah just laughed " Man forget her! I'm going out with Crystal tonight. " " Crystal Whoo??? " James was shocked to hear that. " Crystal Smith, my future 😊💕💍" Jeremiah said with a smile rolling out of bed. " Dangg, how you get that heartless girl to say yes? "  "Cause I'm that nigga! 😏" Both of them started laughing "She probably ain't trynna give up the goodies though, matter fact I know she ain't "  " She might not but then again she just might! Aha,  besides it ain't bout all that with her man. I'm really feeling lil' mama. She's just so beautiful man I really like her. " Jeremiah began smiling thinking bout her,  "Yeaa she cute, but bruh she just so mean! Remember when her and La'Quita got in that fight? She banged 'Quita head with that brick bout 10times & when 'Quita started slipping in that coma she stomped her face! Then said she don't care if 'Quita dies she'll go laugh at the funeral.... How can you be with somebody like that? " James asked, almost sounding concerned. " Yeaa she a tough one.. But man I don't know it's just something bout her I gotta have her, I just got to. "

Crystal looked at the time it was almost 6pm so she decided to get dressed. She put on a cute lil' romper with some heels, her hair was long and flat ironed to perfection. By the time she finished getting dressed it was 7:30pm. She heard a knock on the door and looked out the peep hole then realized it was Jeremiah, so she opened the door. When Jeremiah saw her he almost lost his cool. She looked like a model, the jean romper showed off all her womanly curves the heels she wore complimented her long beautiful legs the way her hair hung down to her lower back and swayed when she walked had him practically drooling. "Ohh uhh you ready? " Jeremiah asked grabbing her hand. He walked her to the car, she smelled soo good he tried opening the door for her but she did it herself. They finally pulled off, " Do you like Red Lobster? " Jeremiah asked trynna spark a conversation, " Yes, that's my favorite restaurant " Crystal replied, he smiled and remained silent the rest of the way there I know this fool not about to take me to Red Lobster.. She thought to herself hmph I guess I'm paying for myself cause I know he can't afford all this by hisself...  Then she realized ... Woaahh is this a Mercedes he driving? Hmph it's probably his momma's. Then she looked at him out the side of her eye...  Mmm he do look good though. He had Versace everything... Well his watch and shades was versace. He had on a white polo shirt W/ matching white polo shoes he had dark jeans, she wasn't sure what brand it was but it sure looked good on him the way he wore his jeans was just so sexy to her. She loved it! Not too low but not too high...  " Where you work? " she just had to ask. Jeremiah chuckled a bit " I don't work I hustle " he said W/ a smile... Crystal loved herself a dopeboy. They finally pulled into Red Lobster.. She looked at him and he looked at her, he smiled " Leave yo wallet in the car ma, I got you. " She couldn't believe it, once they was seated she looked at him Dang he look so good She thought to herself. " Hii! I'm Amy I'll be serving you guys tonight, what drinks could I get you guys? " "Tea " Crystal said, "Coke for me" Jeremiah replied " Would you like any appetizers Crystal? " she didn't reply she just shook her head yes. He told the waiter they wanted appetizers then they ordered their food. " How old are you again? " Crystal asked, " 18 " Jeremiah said W/ a smile, " You look beautiful " Crystal almost wanted to smile " Thanks ". Jeremiah just looked at her How can someone so beautiful be so dang on mean He thought to himself. " Umm, Crystal can I ask a question " Jeremiah asked,  " What? " Crystal replied, Jeremiah hesitated but decided to speak he was scared to ask but he just needed to know " What happened to you? " Crystal was confused by his question " Huh? What you mean? " Crystal replied... " Well back in elementary & 6-7th grade you was like really cool... You had a temper but never did you just walk around angry all the time... I've watched you these past few years I know something tragic happened to you... It had to I wanna see that beautiful smile again. " Jeremiah felt relieved once he asked that question, but when he looked at Crystal she looked as if she was going to throw up. Finally she chuckled "Boy you crazy. " she replied trying to play it cool. The main course came in, Crystal immediately changed the subject, " So how was your day? " she asked as if he never asked her a question, Jeremiah didn't respond he just watched as she cut her steak, " Helloo?? " Crystal asked again...  " Ohh yeaa.... Uhh it was straight ma. " Jeremiah replied, he decided to leave the question alone even though he knew something won't right. The rest of the evening they just talked about school and other stuff trying to get to know each other better. Crystal could feel herself falling for Jeremiah, "Well it's 11:30 ... It's bout time for me to get you home" Jeremiah said, breaking Crystal out her thoughts. She almost wanted him to take her back to his place, she just couldn't have him knowing that she was kind of feeling him. " Ohh Okay... I'm ready " she replied once they arrived to her house she almost didn't want to get out the car. " Can I walk you to the door? " Jeremiah asked. Crystal looked at him and replied yes. Once they got to the door Jeremiah grabbed her waist & looked down at her " Crystal, all I want is you. " Jeremiah said looking into her eyes. He leaned in & kissed her goodnight. Crystal didn't even say nothing she just looked at him then walked in the house. When she walked in her dad was sitting on the couch waiting on her.

" Hey Babygirl how was your date? "

" Uhh hi daddy, it was okay. " Crystal replied nervously already knowing what he really wanted.

" Well yo momma won't play with me tonight so you know what that means. " Her dad replied... Crystal stood still... Hoping Jeremiah didn't go too far she tried running towards the door, but her dad ran up & snatched her.

" Where you think you going Crystal?? " he said " Maybe if you ain't kill my son you wouldn't have to worry about this... " He whispered in her ear while choking her, he covered her mouth and dragged her by the neck into her bedroom he snatched her clothes off then looked into her eyes " You better not have gave that boy none!  Cause till you married this mines! " he forcefully opened her legs then rammed inside her... Crystal just laid there taking it, silently crying to herself... That's the only time she would cry... Was when her dad was on top raping her. When he finished he kissed her on the cheek goodnight and told her he loved her and went to bed. Crystal laid there naked crying... She wish she had someone to talk to but as always she didn't.

Meanwhile Jeremiah lay awake thinking about Crystal. He just knew something won't right with her, the way she act when he asked her the question. He looked at the clock and seen it was 2am he ain't want to call so late but he had to get it off his chest. He decided to go to his brother room he knew he would still be up " James Bruuh.. I need advice " Jeremiah said walking into his brother room, " Yea wassup? " James replied still focusing on the video game he was playing. " Maan, it's about Crystal " Jeremiah said, James paused the game and looked at his brother

" Bruh, you really feeling this girl... "

" Yess I am... But man she keeping something from me.. "

James looked at his brother with a confused look...  " Huh what you mean? "

" I don't know man, I asked her why she so crazy and not all nice like she used to be and she completely changed the subject like I ain't said a word. " Jeremiah replied sounding worried.

" Well bruh, obviously whatever it is, it's a real sore subject & you should just leave it alone cause you don't know what you might be getting yourself into... Girls like her is unpredictable.. You needda just leave her alone all together to be honest " James answered, but Jeremiah ain't wanna hear that. He won't about to give up on Crystal, he just wasn't!
