Change Me - Chapter 8

Tyler's POV 💭

It had to be about 2am now and I could hear the older crew members yelling outside . They were yelling things like "Where they punk asses at??" , "All bullshit aside they done!"

and "They killed Rico and his son!"

And the story goes like this ... Rico was a cool ass nigga , wasn't apart of the crew but he was affiliated . Rico takes his son to school on the other side of town ... Better education .  Last Friday .. Rico went to go get his son , little Ric (Rico Jr. Or Rj if you don't like little Ric ) . Little Ric was six years old .. He got one of those reading awards and of course his dad was proud , so he took little Ric to get some ice cream . A group of punk ass dudes from the other crew walked passed them on the corner . No disrespect from either side .... Until they turned around and jumped Rico . Little Ric ran .. One of the guys chased after him but he was fast . So he shot him . They said Little Ric was killed on impact . Even though Rico wasn't one of us .. He was family .. And that's what heated everyone up . We stay respectful just to stay out of trouble with them , but they always start shit and tonight ... Everything was getting handed back to them.

After awhile I heard a few gunshots, a couple car alarms went off, everybody was yelling . It was crazy.. And then I quickly remembered my dad was out there . I ran to the window to see if I could find him and I eventually saw him hiding behind a truck with Roger ( Big's worker) . Shots were flying towards him but he fired back and hit anybody that was trying to hit him . Then my brother walked in my room ..

"Ty ..." He said really slow

I turned around and examined his face,"Are you scared?"

He nodded and sat on my lap . My brother was only six ... Same age as Little Ric . Matter - a - fact little Ric was my brothers Bestfriend . He was taking it really hard , but who wouldn't?

I put my brother to sleep in my bed and sat at the top of the stairs , waiting for my dad to come inside . But instead a few minutes later Dontae busted in .

"Tyler we need you ! Some dudes are in Shay's house ! Kayla isthere too !! They got no protection and they can only hide for so long !"

He tossed me a gun and I ran outside behind him , locking my house up first.

We ran into Shay's house and immediately ran up the stairs where we heard them walking . When we reached the top we were face to face with four dudes , everybody had their guns drawn . Shay and Kayla were huddled in the corner of her mothers room , obviously found by these fools.

"Y'all are clearly outnumbered . Give up now !" One boy shouted

"You right...," I started," so lets make this a little more fair . No guns , just hands."

Everybody looked around at each other but eventually tucked their guns away , then the fighting began.

I grabbed one boy by his head and slammed it into the wall , and kicked another in his ... You know . Dontae had everything handled already on his end and eventually helped me on by taking one guy off my hands .

The other guy had me in a choke hold so I slammed him on the ground and started punching the shit out of him .

After awhile I thought he was passed out so I got off him and went towards  Shay and Kayla . But before I even got to them ... Boom . I was hit .

I got lucky the bullet only grazed my arm.. But it was still pretty deep . Then another gunshot went off and Dontae shot the kid .

We went back to my house to try to control the blood spewing out of my arm.

"AHH SHIT STOP!!" I screamed as they poured alcohol , peroxide and applied pressure on my arm .

"Ty stop we have to !" Kayla said . When I looked at her she had tears in her eyes .

"Kayla I'm fine ... Don't cry ."

She nodded .

Eventually my dad came back, the bleeding stopped and they wrapped my arm up .

"You should be fine kiddo." My dad said rubbing my back . He sat all of us down and got serious .

"Y'all really need to get out of this.. This is not the life y'all need to live for the rest of your lives . Dontae you play football .. Get better and get out of here! Shay and Kayla .. Y'all dance .. Dance y'all asses out here. And you Tyler .. You play basketball and you're smart ass hell ! Apply yourself . " and the conversation went on for awhile .

Eventually we all fell asleep in my living room .

*The Next Morning*

Jessica's POV 💭

I woke up this morning feeling alot better then yesterday and decided to pull myself out of bed . I took a slightly painful shower , got dressed and limped my way down the stairs .

As I walking out the door I got in an argument with my mom about my condition for school . But it was going nowhere so I went upstairs, took everything off and put on a big Miami Heat jersey . I sat at the desk in my room and noticed a folded piece of paper on it and i opened it .

It read: " Call if you need me ~ Ty "

It also had her number on it . I bit my lip and pulled out my phone , then I texted her .

Me: Come see me today?

Ty:Who is this??

Me:Jess

Ty: ok.... When & Where?

Me: Park... Say...after school?

Ty:Sounds like a plan .

Me:Or a date .... :) .

Ty: :)
