Ray
"Don't say sorry, it's not your fault. "
"Well..."
"Well?! Well?! Fuck you saying well for?! The fuck did you do!?"
"First off, nigga dont fucking yell at me! I ain't none of these damn hoes out here that'll let you talk to them however the fuck you want! Thats where you got the game twisted."
Nobody has ever spoken to me like that a day in my life. Not even my mom, or my friends. None of my ex's had enough balls to say shit like this to me, but this girl right here. She got balls (not actually balls but yall know what I mean), she just cussed out one of the most fear people in L.A. and she knows this.
I could see the rage in her eyes. Like she'll choke me if I say something disrespectful. I put my hands up in defeat. "Okay...I'm sorry." I say smiling. I'm keeping her, no matter what I have to do. A slight smirk appears on her face. "But what did you do?" I add.
"I didn't actually tell Lee that I'm your girl. I thought he'd be smart enough to realize it and leave me alone."
"No, he realized it perfectly clear. That's why he gave you a passion mark."
"Wait wha?"
"He wanted me to realize that you're his girl and its gon stay like that."
"He ain't pull shit like this in a while."
"Cuz he know you got feelings for me."
"Wow. So this is like a property thing huh?"
"Yes, but no."
"So I'm your fucking property now!?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant."
"Then what did you mean!?
"Lee, he thinks you're like every other girl out there, a hoe that wants good dick. He just wants everyone to know to stay away from you because you're his."
She sighs deeply. It's crazy 'cause a girl like Chanel is hard to come by. She's one in a million, and I ain't letting no pussy nigga like Lee take her away from me, like he did some of my other girls. Her body, her personality is something you don't get everyday so she's staying mine for as long as I can help it.
As I look into her beautiful eyes and take her hands I begin to realize that she's gonna bring a lot of baggage. "You want to go to my house?" I ask. "Uhm I don't know," she says
I get a call from my best friend. "Hello?"
"Ray where are you we need you round here!"
"Bri what's going on?"
Screams and gunshots fill my ear. "Ray get over here now! Lee is here."
I let go of her hands and hang up the phone. "Ray what's wrong?" She says.
"Baby I gotta go,"
"Why?"
"I got business to handle."
"I'm coming with you."
"No. I don't want you to get hurt."
"I don't care, I don't want you to get hurt either that's why I'm going."
"Chanel, if anything were to happen to you I would die."
"Same here, I can't let you go by yourself."
"Fine, gosh."
We walk out of the club, and into my car. Silence fills the car as I pull off. If he did anything to Bri or my family I'll kill him. God, please let everyone be alright. Please.
As we arrive it looks like he was waiting for me, and Chanel. Bri is in his grasp with a gun pointed to her head. We both get out of the car. "Nice to see you again." Lee says. "Let her go." I yell. He looks directly at Chanel. "Her life, for Chanel."
"Deal." Chanel says stepping toward him as he lets Bri go. Bri runs to me. "Chanel, what are you doing?" I ask stepping toward her. She hugs me. "I'll see you again, and we'll be together again. I'm sorry, I couldn't watch her die." She whispers. "You don't have to do this." I whisper back.
"Yes I do, I don't want to see her or you dead, I love you too much."
"You're killing me by doing this."
"Ray just trust me."
"Nel I can't trust you on this one, I might never see you again."
"You will."
"You're moving to the East Side because of this, he'll never let you near the West Side again. He'll never let you near me again."
"Ray I got this. Baby just trust me."
She gives me the most passionate kiss a guy could ever get. All of my worries slipped away during that time. Nothing mattered anymore. It was just me and her, not another soul in the earth was here.
When she pulls away I slowly come back to reality, but as Lee pulls her into his arms I come back completely. She was leaving me for Baby Lee. I can't let this happen now. This can't be real, this has to be a dream.
I pinch myself quickly. It hurts. "Shit." I whisper shaking my hand. Lee wraps his arms around her and kisses her forehead. "We out East Side." he yells pointing to the east. All the East Siders leave, including Chanel.
"R-Ray." Bri says grabbing my hand. "Don't beat yourself up about this."
My head shoots toward her. Sadness and pain covers my expression. "Why? This is my fault." I snap as my vision blurs from tears. She hugs me tightly.
"I know you ain't bout to cry over no girl, Ray."
"I'll never find one like her again."
"Maybe you're not looking hard enough."
I just stand there, as Chresanto pulls up in his red mustang. He gets out of his car and walks over to me and Bri. "Where's my little sister?!" He roars. "She's with Lee." I mumble.
"Why the hell is she with Lee? What the hell did you do?!"
He grabs me by my shirt and props me against a tree. Rage fills his eyes just like Chanel when she's mad. Nostrils flared. Furrowed eyebrows.
"Look, I didn't have anything to do with it. She made a deal with him."
"What was the damn deal?"
"Bri's life for her."
"And you just let her go?!"
"I had to."
"You bastard! This is why I didn't want her anywhere near you!"
"I'm sorry okay."
He let's go if me as his eyes begin to water. He goes and gets in his car, and drives toward the East Side.
Chanel
I look back. Ray. I just left Ray for Lee. At least Bri is safe. "Stop looking back," Lee demands. "Why?" I ask.
"Because you're mine now."
"I don't want to be yours, I want to be Ray's."
"Well tough luck."
"Aren't I supposed to be happy? Aren't you supposed to want me happy?"
"You'll be happy, just wait."
"I want Ray!"
Lee pulls me into his arms and kisses my neck gently. I don't try to pull away, I just stay where I am. "See, I'm not that bad am I?" He exclaims. "No, you're not." I reply.
"Okay then, can we go now?"
"Fine.."
Just as we begin walking to his car
