Johenna Eadeth Taylor was one smart girl.But when your the right girl on the wrong side of town, your perfection doesn't matter anymore.
My name is Johenna.I sat on the bench waiting for the bus to come.All of a sudden I heard a gunshot and yelling.I slowly made my way towards the noise, until I saw a couple of gangbangers yelling.Luckly nobody was physically hurt, but then when one of them looked at me.I froze.One child was yelling at me,"Run he won't let you live!" But the man standing above him just kicked him in the stomach, and told me to come over to my Romeo if I wanted him.I didn't know what to do.I didn't know the boy, but I didn't want to see him on the ground. He was from the rivalry group.The one group that my hometown hated.
So I went over to the poor guy and picked him up.He was either heavy, or my 15 year old body was weak.But I took him outside to the same bench I sat at 10 minutes earlier.He looked at me.I noticed that he was different from the rest of them.He had a light blue in his eyes.Not a heavy black shade of hate. "Why you take me? I'm from rivalry group.Couldn't you get big trouble for this?" I looked him."Yes but nobody deserves to be slugged on the ground.Besides.I noticed something different about you." He sat up."Like what?That I'm a snob that can't defend myself?" I gave him a very cross look."I'm taking you home to get you cleaned up." He shot up and looked scared."WHAT!! You no do that.I get killed." he said.
I looked at him with a sad look.He went with me to my side of town."What your name?" he said.I could tell that he is not from around here.His language was horrible.He couldn't speak good.He forgot certain words."Johenna.Johenna Eadeth Taylor.Yours?" He looked at me and said," Brax.Brax Michael Collin." I thought of something nice to say."That is a very nice name.I think it brings out the best in you." He looked at me.I knew that he knew that I was lying.But he didn't say anything.Once we arrived at my house, my mom gave me a very crossed devilish look.I knew I was in for a beating after this.My mom asked me why he was here."He got beat up and he needs help!! Please momma we gotta help him!!" I pleaded. "Fine.Since God has called me in the line of duty." she said in a frustrated voice."Momma please don't tell daddy about this.He would beat me drasticly." I started crying.My mother just got up and hugged her little girl."I promise I wouldn't do that for the world." she looked in her baby girls eyes, and saw a sign of desperate relief."Thanks momma.I won't do this again.Only this time." My mom looked at me and said,"I'm very proud of what you did.God asked you to help this kid and you did.We can get icecream later if you want." Her little girl lifted her head with a smile.She knew I only get icecream if I did something extremely fasinating or good.
After we fixed Brax up, we went for icecream. I couldn't stop thinking of Brax though.He was such a good loving kid.I even had feeling for him.
On the way to school the next day, I ran into my friend, Kiana May Sue. She knew everything about me and my past.
"Uh.Who was that boy you were talking to?" she asked. I needed to lie.My mom told me to keep quiet and not say a single word.Especially to Kiana. I don't know why I can't tell my best friend, but I don't wanna test my mom. "UUHHH. Well that was a new kid that I met." I said liably.
"Yeah cause there is ever a new kid in this area.Seriously. Who was the little cutie?" she asked irritated.
"It was nobody of your concern. Why do you need to know anyway? It's not like you need to hear about him." I said subbornly. I don't mean to be mean but I can't have her guessing.
After school I grabbed my books and headed out the door towards the bus bench. All of a sudden I felt a quick pinch on my back, and just like that, I was out like a light.
I woke up a couple hours later in a dark room with the most horrific smell ever. I could tell I was in the Rivalry side of town. I yelled as something began to cut the side of my arm. I knew it was a knife already cause who could miss it? I heard whispers of many questions. What do we do with her?What is the next step?Do we kill her? What now boss? Yup. The gangbangers were back and I got caught redhanded.
The pain was unbarable. I whimpered as I bled all over my shirt. Something came into the light.It was a face. The face of the leader from this morning. "Well.Well.Well. What do we have here? A princess." He said in a smirk faced voice.
"No.I am no princess!!How dare you call me that?!" I spoke loud and clear. I felt another cut. I screamed at the unbarable pain. I knew that I needed to think like them and don't make any stupid comments.
"Well you seem to dress like one.Why not we fix that for you? Make you seem like us." He said. I cried in hopes that Brax might get his butt over here.
That's when I felt a really hot substence touch my skin. It was almst like tar in a way. I screamed and cried. I then felt a bandana go on my mouth. I was picked up then and led to some water. I was cleaned off then sat back in the chair. I was free to open my mouth.
"What do you want with me?" was all I could get out of my mouth.
"A little affection is all I need. Kind of like what you gave Braxy. That is what you call your boytoy now right?" Is all he could say.
"We aren't dating. All I did was help him.Never saw him again." I said as I began to speak in interigation. That was when I realized I was on the ground on my stomach. Without my shirt. I know where this is going that's for sure. Let the pressure begin.
