While The Rose Falls (SEQUEL)

Seventeen.

Continued...

I tried my hardest not to give her my attention because it hurt seeing her cry and snatched up and if I looked I'd have to murder someone.

"Anthony.." she whispered.

"Rose, please don't talk." I Whispered back seriously.

"Neither of you should be talking." One of the guys interrupted.
Rose put her head down and closed her eyes in disappointment.

I was pissed off that I was in this situation and with Rose especially and all positive thoughts went out the window.

*

"Get out. And if you try something, we hurt her.." one guy instructed shoving me out of the car.

My mood went into instant agitation from being touched and talked to any type of way by niggas.

We pulled up into the driveway of a trap house. The smell of weed and hood music gave it away. Niggas stood behind and in front of Rose and I as they guided us to the door. Her face looked like she had given up completely and she simply didn't care about what could happen next.

"Ayoo JORDAN?!" One of them yelled.

"What?" Jordan answered from a distance.

"We gottem."

Weed filled the entire room and Rose started coughing.

Jordan walked in chuckling at the sight of us and took a seat at a table smoking a blunt.

"I told you to watch out." He snickered at me.

He winked at Rose. "Hey ma." And she rolled her eyes.

"So do we need to discuss anything?" I Asked getting to the point.

"Ya, how long you tryna beef wit me?"

"Nigga, ain't nobody tryna have beef with you!" I yelled being annoyed.

"Ay, watch yo fuckin mouth!"

I threw my waving arms at him, "Man fuck you."

"You not gonna learn until I put a bullet in you..."

"Nigga shut the fuck up. You don't run shit in ATL.." I snapped.

He laughed. "Or do you want me to put a bullet in her?"

"Jordan how bored can you?" She asked nonchalantly.

"Hey, I told you to warn him, and I warned you about her." He said to the both of us.

"Can I just leave?" She sighed.

"I'll purpose this to you my lovely Rose.." he smirked sarcastically.

"You can leave, BUT me and my bros gotta jump him... Or you stay with me and I'll take care of you AND I'll let Anthony leave without a scratch.. your choice baby. Choose wisely."

Rose's POV

My heart was racing as I heard my options while I stared at Jordan smoking a blunt.

I glanced at Anthony and he was staring at me deeply hoping I'd make the right choice..

I hesitated to speak..

"Cmon now, you ain't got all day.." Jordan reminded as he blew a puff of smoke.

"I.."
I said speaking nervously.

"I'll..I'll stay." I sighed.

An happy smile formed on Jordan's face. "Bet."

Anthony looked at me with such disappointment I felt his eyes piercing my soul.

"Ight, y'all can take him.." he said standing up from his seat.

Two guys escorted Anthony out the door and he glanced at me before he walked out the doorway. I'm sure I hurt him with my decision.

"Why do you do this to people?" I snapped.

"Babe, it's nothin personal, it's just business.."

"Please don't call me babe."

"But I love you gurl..you know that." He said counting a stack of $100's .

"Oh really? But you just said that you'd put a bullet in me." I Said crossing my arms.

"You know..in order to get what you want.. you gotta hit niggas where it hurts.."

My eyes twisted in disgust. Everything he was saying was foul and it was hard to believe.

"I'm leaving Jordan.." I said turning away from him.

He got up and snatched my arm back. "You ain't goin nowhere, so sit the fuck down." He Said with his jaw clenched in an angry, serious voice.

I pushed him off me, but my scrawny arms weren't a match against his big muscular chest.
He then grabbed me with both arms and I tried to fight out of his hold. "LET ME GO!"

"Bitch." He said after slapping me across my face.

I was stunned and in shock.

I gathered my mind together and hit him back, but in the jaw.

We fought for a couple of seconds and during that time he had pushed, slammed, and hit me.

The only thing I was able to do was punch him in the jaw and scratch .

He pushed me off and I fell on the floor.
"Stop Rose..there's no point." He Said out of breath.

I dusted myself off and tried to get up. "Let me go.." I said inhaling and exhaling.

"Nah..that's not how it works.."

"What do you want from me!" I yelled.

He licked his lips. "You already know what I want.."

"No." I simply stated fully standing up.

"And that's why yo ass gets mistreated."

"I'm not having sex with you Jordan you already know that.."

"Well until then, you ain't leaving."

*

Jordan forced me to stay at his trap house until he said otherwise. I immediately became depressed and I longed for Anthony. But I knew he wasn't happy with my decision and I know he wouldn't forgive me. The reason I took up for him is that I would rather give myself up so that he wouldn't get hurt, and I just hoped he understood that.

*

I sat looking out the window wearing a pair of shorts and a tank top Jordan bought for me so I wouldn't have an excuse to leave as I thought about life.

I imagined what I'd be doing in 4 years. Who Would I be with? Where would I be? Those types of questions ran through my mind as I watched the leaves on the trees blow around from the wind as birds went flying around.

Jordan walked into the room, but I kept staring.

"How much you wanna bet he's not thinking about you?"

I blew out a breath of tired air. "Leave me alone."

He came over and kissed my cheek. "It's okay. I got you now.." before he walk out of the room.

Why wouldn't Anthony just come back and be my hero?
