21/Ch. 39

I sped to the street that Juan told me. I called the hospital and asked about Hakeem, but they say that he's alright, so I told them to keep a close eye on him.

I don't have a way to get the money, but I went anyway.

I pulled up and saw guards.

"I'm with them."

A guard snatched me by my arm and dragged me into the building. I put on my poker face.

"You Elle?"

"I'm here, ain't I?"

That earned me a punch to my right jaw.

"No one ever taught you to answer a question with a statement?"

I spit blood on Juan and he started laughing.

"Follow me."

The guard dragged me to a tiny room where I saw the gang. Their chairs were back to back in a circle and they were taped up tight. I saw Kilani limping over and Ronnie was nowhere in sight.

"Where's Ronnie?"

"Where's my money?"

"I need to see all of them, first."

"Let her go real quick, Jay."

The guard let me go and Juan smashed me against a wall.

"You sexy as fuck. You ain't got ass or titties, but yo face look good as hell. Do me a favor and I'll do you one."

"What's the favor?"

"I'll let them go right now. You just gotta come wit me."

"Alright. Let them go first, though. No bullshit."

"Jay, take her to the Charger."

Jay took me and Juan came behind us.

"Hold up, just so yall don't forget who run shit."

He pulled out a gun and shot Whitney in the head.

I kept my face straight and went into the car.

**********

I was knocked out for a few hours, but I woke up by Juan pulling me out the car. It's dark as hell and I cant see shit.

"Come on."

When we got inside, he led me into a room and pushed me on the bed.

"Take off your clothes."

"What?"

"Did I fucking stutter?"

More people came into the room when I got fully undressed.

"You a virgin, I hear."

"Huh?"

"Rakim gave you up."

I tried to get up and run out, but I was tackled to the bed. Somebody grabbed my hips and shoved himself inside of me. It hurt so much.

I started to scream for help, but somebody stuck themselves inside of my mouth while I choked for air.

They started going faster and switching up positions. They grabbed my neck tight to hold me in place. I can barely breathe!

It lasted forever..Im not sure how long because I passed out.

***********

I woke up the next morning. The sunshine came through the open window and I looked around. Their was blood all over the bed and between my legs. My arms are tied up with rope so tight that it dug into my skin. I can't even get dressed and there's pain absolutely everywhere.

I don't know how they were aware of my consciousness, but Juan came in.

"You had fun?"

I rolled my eyes and he laughed.

"Can I go now?"

"Go? That wasn't part of the deal."

He pulled out his gun and cocked it.

"Please. Don't do this!"

"Rakim wanted me to tell you that he's sorry. He never meant for this to happen."

"Just let me leave, please!"

He pulled the trigger and I felt blood dribble from my right shoulder.

"AHHH!!" I tried to suck in the pain, but it's unbearable.

He cocked the gun again and pointed it to the left side of my chest.

BANG!!

Everything blacked out and I was gone.
