I can't believe I walked out on Natalia like that, but I couldn't stay. I hated keeping secrets from her, but I had to keep this one, and I failed. I walked outside to blow steam off when I realized Jermaine was coming. Of course he'd realize I broke the deal, and of course I'd have to live up the consequences now.
"Well well Tremaine I knew you couldn't resist telling her everything. Hilarious you would think I wouldn't find out. It's pathetic if you ask me. So shall we live up to our promise now since you don't know or failed to remember what that is?" Jermaine coldly spoke, and then spat at my feet afterwards.
I pulled my arm back, and punched him square in the jaw. Instead of hitting back he pulled out his pistol.
"So we can't fight with hands nowadays can we? Now what's pathetic. The weakness is controlling you, and you can only use a gun." I blurted out, and it was daring him to hurt me.
He made sure it was locked and loaded, and pointed it right at my head.
"You know what I want Tre, and you always take what I want. You know what, that can't happen anymore." Jermaine said loudly.
"Exactly , because I have the one I want. Fuck your other hoes." I said confidently,
"Oh Tre you already did fuck my other hoes. " Jermaine laughed.
He turned his back to look as the door creaked open, and Natalia came out. I saw the fear in her eyes as she noticed he had a gun. I pulled out my pistol, loaded it, and BANG I shot Jermaine. His body fell to the ground with an awful thud. I watched as Natalia looked at me in horror, and turned around sprinting to not our room, but her own. I ran inside
"Natalia! Natalia come here!" I yelled .
"You fucking murderer." I heard her scream as she ran away from me.
Was I a murderer? Or was I protecting us? What was I... a cold blooded killer? I stopped in my tracks, and I realized what she took in. I didn't mean for her to see that, but it was the perfect time, and well... angle. I walked back to my room and slammed the door shut. A few minutes later the commotion started .
"Tre! What the fuck, Jermaine is dead dude." Trever busted in screaming.
"Yep I know." I said calmly.
"Oh Tre you told Nat?" Trever questioned cautiously.
"Yes Trever I had no choice. She deserved to know." I spat back annoyed by him being around.
He walked out sensing the negative feelings, but just as I got comfortable another visitor came."
"Hey Tre, you shot Jermaine right?" Enrique questioned.
"Yes I did.. why?" I said confused.
"Well bro he's gone, and not taken by the medics . He is alive." Enrique said worried
I slammed my fist down on the nightstand . I stood up pushing past Enrique , and headed up to Natalia. I knocked on her door, but got no answer so I pushed it open to find her sound asleep. I slid in beside her, and wrapped my arms around her to protect her. I was grateful she didn't wake up in fear she'd walk out again, but I was fearful of knowing Jermaine was out there. He has one thing he wants. Natalia. I'll fight to the death if it means Natalia is safe, and it'll be that way forever and always. I drifted asleep in mid-thought with her never leaving my mind.
