Broken and Battered

chapter 4

Are you kidding me? I think to my self as I lay down on my bed.

At least he's cute and you get along.

Shut up.

I lay there talking to my self for a good half hour going through the pros and cons of the situation. Before I finally fall into yet another night terror.

Mom dad don't leave me here please. Its getting dark. I hear animals surrounding me. I begin to climb a tree as I see wolves surrounding me. I grab onto a branch and it breaks. I fall to the ground as I hit branches one pierces my stomach.

I shoot up out of bed breathing hard. Sweat drenching my clothes I go to the washroom pealing my clothes of and climbing in the shower.

I grab my jogging clothes tucking my gun into my waist band. I head out the door not using music so that I could listen to my surroundings.

I run around the block a few times before heading inside. I grab a cereal bar and get ready for school.

I make it to school earlier than usual. I put my helmet in my locker as I shut it I hear someone approach me. I spin around to see jaxson and Chelsie.

"Oh look its the whores cousin." Chelsie snears.

"Clown do I need to remind you of the incident in the caf" I chuckle.

"Look tell your pall to leave Chelsie alone. Or else"

"Or else what? Little miss Barbie clown don't like to be picked on? You guys don't scare us. And tell miss clown if she don't want her face smashed in she better not make fun of Jess. Plain and simple." I say as I walk past them and through the door. I stop by a tree just as I light up a cigarette.

"You know you keep surprising me."

"I'm full of surprises."

"So why are you here early?"

"Couldn't sleep."

"Didn't take you to be one to come to school early."

"There's a first for everything."

"Anyways m has a fight set up for you"

"Alright ill let Mathew know."

"Lets go in" I throw my cigarette down and start walking as he follows.

Everything was uneventful at school until lunch that is. We went outside to eat. It was peaceful for once. We sat there and talked about what our next move should be then after lunch free period so we chose to head back to my place. We walk to my door and notice that's it's open.

I pull my gun and ease the door open. The place is a mess. Everything is out of place.

"Call Marcum." darius nods and whips out his phone dialing his cousin while I search the apartment to see in there's any intruder. I quickly goto my closent lifting up a single board and pulling out a lock box. I sigh in relief that its still there.

"Yo Marcum get your ass to dawns somebody ransacked the place." he pauses "okay" "yep" "ill see you in a few."

"Hrs on his way grab what ever you can recover and lets go."

"Everything I need is right here." I lift up the box.

"Hes pulling us from school.  Mathew is hacking the system and going to make it like we graduated."

"Alright well as much as I disagree I can't argue with him."

"I know but if they know where you live then they know too much so you get to stay with me."

"Yay." I say in a sarcastic way.

After half hour Marcum shows up and we all head to his place with my baby in tow.

Marcum lives in what I like to call a mansion its 3 stories high with marble flooring a basement a butler chef and maids. A large pool out back plenty of back yard space to roam.

Once we pull up the door opens.

"Welcome back Ms. Sanders may I take your belongings to your room."

"Thank you jarvis but might I have a new room the old one holds too many memories."

"Very well ma'am" he takes my things and places them in a room only a few doors from my last. This room had white walls, a full size bed, a vanity set to the right, a bathroom door next to the vanity and a massive walk in closent. It needed a new touch to it. I walk down to speak with Marcum.

"Can I redecorate my room? Its too white."

"Of course but right now a few people are coming over to discuss the gun shipment later."

"Okay and I know that ill be there to make sure it all goes smooth." he nodded. Hes not like most gang leaders he takes what everyone says into consideration though sometimes he don't like me going on runs because I'm like a daughter to him. But he knows I'm the best chance we have. He's also the only one that knows I'm the actual leader.
