Skate Pov:
I watch Malaya turn away and storm to the elevators. I wanted to grab her and hold her close to me afraid something may happen to her as she head home. But I let her be and calm down. "Let's go Skate." He says as I turn into the room. The door close as I walk over to my original seat. "Everything cool man?" Jack J asl as I nod.
"Okay boys, I know this is a lot, but this is business. I want two on very corner. We have three hours to get rid of them." Big V explains. We look at each other confused.
"Two on every corner?" Sammy ask as he nods putting his cigar in his mouth.
"V do you know we're exposed that way?" Jack J includes, "This plan is ridiculous." I say to myself. My phone buzz in my pocket as they speak on this plan. I slide it out my pocket to see a message from Stacie. I press the message to see a message I didn't want to see.
Stacie: Where is Malaya?? Is she still inside?
Me: No, she left. She's not with you?
Stacie: Skate. She came here with me and she texted me she leaving the hospital, but I don't see her.
I look up and see Big V eyes wonder my way as if he seen my message. Something isn't right with this plan. I look at Sammy who is looking at me. "I have to go to the bathroom." I say getting up as V eyes watch me. I walk out the room dialing Malaya. I walk to the elevators with the phone still stuck to my ear.
"Hey this is Mal, sorry I didn't get your message." I hang up and call again pressing the elevator button again, "Mal pick up." The elevator doors open revealing two elderly folks. They walk out for me to walk in. I pressed the first floor. "Mal pick up!" I yell and hang up. As I dial again, I hear screaming along with guns fired. "What?" I say to myself confused. I quickly dial Jack G, before I could speak his voice screams at me.
"Bro, where are you?!" G screams into the phone, "Big V had his dudes all over us."
"Where is Tez?" I ask.
"He's with us. Bro, where are you?!"
"I'm in the elevator, Malaya is missing."
"Are you serious?!"
"Yes, go home and I'm going to meet you there. Give me 20 minutes, if I'm not there. Call." I say before hanging up.
Malaya Pov
I walk home completely mad at the fact Skate didn't tell me my brother made it out alive. I see bright lights behind me. I turn back and continue walking, the truck began to slow down, I back again and walk faster. I see my house in the distance and began to run. Before I knew it, guns are being fired at me. I scream and run to the house closer to me backyard.
I duck on the side build huffing, trying to slow down my breathing. I hear a voice speak on the phone. "Nah V, we lost her."
"Find her and kill her." I hear and my heart began to pace. I hear the car engine start up and speed down the street. I stand up and jump across the gate. I rush home and run inside. "Where the hell were you?!" A voice yells coming out the kitchen. I look to see Stacie.
"The guys we're stood up by Big V and you walked home?!" She yells as I feel guilt rush over me. Before I could speak, the door burst open pushing me out the way. I turn around see bloody boys walk in. "Tez!" I run over to hug him. "Don't scare me like that ever in life!" He yell. "Look, we need to strap down." He says walking away sternly.
I look back and see Skate closing the door. "Skate." I say and he looks at me. "Why would you walk home?" He yells as I furrow my eyes at him. "Skate listen to me-"
"You had me worried about you and you out here walking the streets like your not known?!"
"Known for what? Being a girlfriend to a drug dealer? Gang member?!" I yell in his face. "Know what Malaya, I'm done trying to protect you!"
I squint my eyes at him feeling my heart break into a million pieces. I take off his jacket throwing it at him aiming at his face. I walk up stairs and slam my door. Before I know it the door is opened after me and turned me to them. I see Skate walk in with a guilty face, "Mal you know I didn't mean that downstairs."
"No Skate. You meant every word you said down there." I state. I walk away and enter the bathroom feeling myself become weak. "Mal." Skate say before catching me. "Ugh." I say holding my head. "Mal what's wrong?" He ask, "I-I don't know." I began to shake from nervousness. I look at skate as he looks at me.
