Romeo Is Bleeding

21 part 2

Romeo POV
"Rolland Keys man is you working today?" I asked one of my dirty cops over the phone.
"Yeah what you need?"
"Pull Marcus Clark into a private space I'm on my way."
"What do you expect to happen Ro? Huh?" James asked.
I didn't know what to say. I don't know what to expect. All I know was I am pissed off.
We pulled up to the jail and greeted by Rolland. Since he snuck us in I have no need to keep my gun in my car. Lucky right?
"What do you need with Marcus?" I stopped walking.
"You fucking asking me questions?"
"I'm sorry." He apologizes immediately.
"Just take me to this nigga already." He took me to the room and Marcus face was beat up. But yet he still smiled in my face.
"Well isn't this a nice surprise."
"I see my friends in here have been treating you nice." Me and James took a seat at the table.
"I knew it had something to do with you. All ya Spanish niggas." He started laughing. "How's fucking my sister?"
"Don't talk about Queen ever again."
"Queen. That bitch is a peasant." Before I could stop I punched him in his face.
James pulled me back. "Calm down."
"You know I just wanna know what's up with the Columbians. Why put your life at more risk?"
"I don't answer to you nigga." He smiled. "But since you really wanna know. JuanCarlos said fuck you Cubans. And tell your father goodbye. Lately been hearing he be watching your girl. " He spat in my face. I pulled out my gun and aim at his knee shooting him.
"Ahhhhhh." Thank god the room is soundproof.
"Romeo stop!" James yelled.
"You like spitting huh?" I pistol whipped him. Whipping my face I aim the gun at his head.
"Romeo put the gun down!" James yells but I'm so far gone. "I said put the fucking gun down!"
"Shut up!" I had to think.
"How they gonna explain a dead guy let alone the bullet in his fucking knee?!"
"Stand him up." James went over and picked Marcus up.
Look into his eyes. "You better pray they never let you out again. Cause the first step you take out this place will be your last." Opening the door I hand Rolland 5000 dollars and told him to clean up that mess.
"I just wanted a normal graduation day."
"Yo as soon as we get to my house call Pablo and tell him to get info on JuanCarlos. I gotta call my father." I quickly changed my mind. "Matter fact go to his hotel." I check the clock. 12:46.
Five hours and fourteen minutes till graduation.

Nova POV
"So are you excited for Miami?!" Tally yelled
"Yes and no. His dad is harsh."
"At least you can get away from here. Did you tell Anthony yet?"
"Yeah he's happy I'm getting away Justice on the other hand ..."
"Fuck her you deserve to be happy."
"Ha. She said in a year I'll be right back here when he gets bored."
"That boy is never gonna get tired of you... have you heard from him today?"
I shook my head no. "Him and James are handling "business""
"You ever get scared bout that. Knowing that he might not come home one day?"
"Always. But I know his lifestyle isn't for play." Tally nodded her head and kept packing boxes. But she had me thinking.
What would it be like if Romeo never came home?

James POV
"¡ Esto es una mierda! ¿Dónde puede estar?" (This is some bullshit! Where can he be?)" Romeo yelled banging his fist into the wall.
He called a meeting. He rarely calls meeting.
"Tienes que calmarte." (You need to calm down) I said sitting at the table.
He looked at me. "How? Did you not hear what he just said?"
I nodded. "I did. But I don't think freaking out is gonna fix shit. JuanCarlos isn't stupid."
"But he is bold. What am I gonna tell Queen."
"Nothing. She can't know you saw her brother."
"Pablo any word from my father?" Ro asked downing his Hennessy.
"Just now. He said you all leave tonight."
Tonight? "Tonight?" I asked aloud.
"Yes said leave all your shit here and get on the plane. 5 o'clock."
"Graduations at 5."
"Lo sé. Que es exactamente por lo que te vas." ( I know that is exactly why your leaving)" my tio said walking inside the room.
"Papá, por favor" Romeo said. I knew how important walking down that isle was to him. I honestly didn't give a shit.
"Wait...That means no prom?" I questioned.
"Don't be stupid. You two need to go. Romeo go get Nova that plane will be here at 5." Without saying anything else tio left.
I look over to Romeo. "This is all my fault. If I would've just killed JuanCarlos when I had the chance..."
"You would've been dead too." I said cutting him off.
"It's always been my dream to walk down the aisle at graduation. You know I've never thought I was gonna graduate." Ro said.
"Man fuck graduation and prom. We ain't like those bitches anyway." He laughed and we walked to my car.
"Can't wait to go home." I said to myself.

Romeo POV on the plane.
"Baby smile for me." Queen begged kissing my face.
"I ain't in the smiling mood."
"Nigga cheer up. Miami is the shit. The weather beaches... Bitches. Oh man." Janes said.
"You right man."
"Oh is he Romeo?" Queen said catching a attitude.
"I'm talking bout when he said it's the shit." I kissed her lips. "You're gonna love it baby."
"I just wanted to see you graduate."
"Yeah"
"Yeah." She said.
"Did you talk to the the dean bout early graduation for you?"
"He said I got it. He was proud of my work."
I nodded. "Maybe we can work on making our baby."
"Ummm no. Last time proved to me we not ready and and I wanna go to college."
"You can do that with a baby."
"It's not bout just what you want Ro." She said turning over to face the window.
"You ready for this man. This ain't the little league no more?" James asked.
"I was born ready." I gave him a pound.
This was real shit now. Ain't no turning back.
