MARCUS
Since Antonio has been paid off Antonio has been off my ass. I'm officially out. I'm not in anymore of Antonio's shit. Now I can save up and get Summer that ring. I can't wait to call her my wife. I love her so much. I feel terrible that I had to borrow all that money from her. The wedding and honeymoon will make up for it though. I plan on spoiling her ass more than I already do. Since Dawn is suspended I can ask her to help me.

SUMMER
I don't know where I am. Everything is dark as fuck. I was minding my own business walking down the street and somebody put a bag over my head and knocked me out. Now I'm here. I don't exactly know where is here.
I heard footsteps coming from my left.
"Let go of me!" I screamed.
"I will let you go after we call Marcus." A man said.
"What? Why?"
"He isn't finished paying."
The man held the phone to my ear.

"What Antonio?" Marcus answered.
"Baby its me! They have me hostage! Pay Antonio please!"
"I did!"
"He said you didn't. Baby I'm scared."
"Don't be I'm coming to get you."
"I love you Marcus."
"I love you too Summer."
Antonio took the phone from my face. I struggled to get my arms free from the rope. But it burned my wrists instead. Tears flowed down my face.
"Until Marcus gets here we are going to have some fun." Antonio said. Dim lights came on. I could see him but not clearly. My tears made everything blurry. From what I could see, Antonio is tall and well built. If I could wipe the tears from my eyes I probably would see his face properly. Antonio whipped out his dick. My heat pounded out of my ribcage. What the shit?
"No! No!" I begged. He just laughed at me. He forced his dick in my mouth. My smart ass bit him.
"BITCH!" He screamed.
He hauled off and slapped the shit out of me. I could feel my face throbbing. This feels like Derek all over again. Antonio grabbed my leg and dragged me across the room. The floor is just concrete. It cut my skin.
Then he took my pencil skirt off of me. I tired to kick him.
"STOP PLEASE!" I screamed.
"Shut the fuck up!" He said before punching the shit out of me. Everything went black.

MARCUS
I pulled up to the safe house. My blood is boiling. I grabbed my gun. I just might have to kill a mother fucker.
I walked inside of the safe house. I turned on all the fucking lights.
I saw Summer laying on the floor unconscious. Her beautiful yellow skin was bruised and purple and she was bleeding. I saw Antonio looking at her lustfully.
"What did you do to my woman?" I asked.
"I did what I wanted brotha." Antonio said. I walked up to him and pistol whipped him. I didn't have time for his smart ass remarks. I repeatedly hit him with my gun. He started coughing up blood. I know he won't be getting up anytime soon. I picked up Summer and carried her to my car. I have to get her to a hospital. But then the police will interrogate.
Shit. I have to take her no matter what.

AT THE HOSPITAL
The police didn't question me too much. I just told them I found her in a dark alley. And I didn't know who did it.
Summer was lying in the hospital bed. She looks terrible. I shouldn't have gotten myself in this shit. Summer slowly opened her eyes. "Baby girl I'm sorry." I said. I started to cry. I thought I was going to lose her. Tears fell down her bruised cheeks.
"How do you feel?" I asked.
"Painful." She replied.
"I'm sorry baby."
"Why didn't you pay him?" She whispered.
"It wasn't my fault he wanted more. I didn't have more."
"Is he coming back?"
"I'm not sure."
I kissed her forehead.

SHANTE
Marcus just texted me and told me that mama is in the hospital. I grabbed a beer bottle and opened it. Dawn is by Jonathan. Its just me now. I drank the bottle of beer and sat on my bed. I hope mama is okay.
My phone rang.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Baby I'm sorry." Michael said.
"Leave me the fuck alone!!" I shouted. I threw the beer bottle across the room and it shattered on the tile.
"What was that?" Michael asked.
"My fucking heart." I replied before hanging up.
I blocked Michael. I went in the kitchen and grabbed the broom and dust pan. I cleaned up the glass.
