Jewel I (In the beginning)

Chapter 18

        It had been three weeks since that day I spent with Elijah. Since he came into my life, I felt safe, loved, and finally happy. Everyday, I would wake up with joy in my eyes, just so excited to see him. It was like he had something new and improved for us to do everyday even when we had school. He was such a good friend. I felt like I was in love.

        Renee had been hanging out with Ciroc and I alot. She was Pretty cool and the kept it real. I felt like I could trust her also. For the first time in a long a time, I thought I had a family. Me, Elijah, Ciroc, and Renee were becoming closer and closer everyday.

        It was three o'clock on a hot Saturday of May. I was chilling at Elijah's crib waiting for him to come back from the store. He had to go meet someone. I just hope it was business and not a little side ho. Well, it couldn't be a side ho because I didn't have a label yet. Unless he had a girlfriend on the lie that I didn't know about And She was the reason that he hadn't asked me to be his girl friend.

        I got up from Elijah's comfy red couch and walked to the stereo. Elijah had a bunch of CDs to choose from but I chose the plies CD. I hadn't listen to plies in a long time.

        I pressed play, and down ass bitch was blasting.

        "Ion even know where She get that shit. She realer than alot of these niggas I bet." I sung along to the music.

        I walked into the kitchen and pulled out a can of orange soda from the refrigerator. It was cold and refreshing. I found myself jigging to the music and turning up by myself. When suddenly, I heard someone knocking at the door.

        I walked to the door, and peeped out the peephole. It was a short dark skinned girl with long black hair.

        I opened the door. "Who are you?" I asked with an attitude.

        "Nawl. Who you is? " said the girl with an even worst attitude.

        "I'm the owner of this house."

        "Nawl my nigga is the owner of this house. Now move trap."

        The girl pushed me out of the way and busted into the house. I was so pissed off. I grabbed her by her hair and slung her to the ground .

        I stood over her with my hand around hey neck. "Don't come busting in here like you run shit. Now tell me what yo name is and who sent you!" I yelled.

        The girl starred at me horrified. I felt bad so I let get go. Then Renee came running in the house.

        "What's wrong?" She yelled. "Jewel? What are you doing to my best friend?"

        "She pushed me." I explained. "She said that Elijah was her nigga."

        "I was only joking. I didn't mean for this to happen." Explained the girl

        "I'm so sorry. I just thought-. I didn't know it was a joke. I'm not a fan of surprises."

        "What's going on?" Asked Elijah.

        "Jewel beat up Michelle." Exclaimed Renee.

        "I didn't mean to." I cried. I helped Michelle off the floor.

        "It was all a bit misunderstanding." Said Michelle.

        "I'm so sorry." I said. Giving Michelle a friendly hug.

        "Its ok. I understand. I would be protective over my man too."

        "Wait a minute. Jewel can I talk to you up stairs please. Yall make yourselves comfortable" said Elijah.
