In the aeons before memory, when galaxies spun their cosmic ballet and quasars sang their celestial requiems, the universe existed in delicate equilibrium. Ten ancient forces-the Cosmic Paragons-were woven into the very fabric of existence. Each emb...

Saturday morning
"Come here girl. " Ashton chased Aliyah around the field as she laughed running with the football. Desmond and Ashton took Aliyah and Josh to the Abandoned elementary school where the community uses the field and playground area for the public instead of just building an actual park.
Desmond and Josh sat on the sidelines laughing as they watched the two. Aliyah was tickle pink when Ashton finally caught her putting Aliyah over his shoulder. "Damn she fast, my ass is actually tired." He chuckled walking towards the others gently putting Aliyah down. " You should do track." He complimented. "Track?" Aliyah asked confused.
" Like how you run around with Harmonie and Chanise during class." Desmond signed. Aliyah tilted her head to the side more confuse. For the past couple of days she didn't understand why he never talked waving his hands around. She never said anything since nobody else did.
" Aliyah, you ok?" Josh asked not trying winced as he went to get up to check on her. " Um.....he...he no ever talk." She says shyly. The realization hit their face when they understood that she didn't understand sign language or the term of it.
" Well....Desmond is deaf. He can't hear people with their mouths like we can,so he uses sign language to communicate." Josh explained. "He he also can read lips too..Like you....hes different." He continued. " Oh........then me be learn song language so me can communicate too." She smiled. " It Sign language but sure I'll teach you." Josh chuckled.
" You be play with ball with me?" Aliyah shyly asked Desmond making sure she said it slow enough for him to read her lips. He smiled as he nodded his head getting up from the ground. He followed her to the field as he tried not to daydream about how her face would look if he fucked her in every part of his house. It usually took him a min to be even slightly attracted to anybody since he been so deep in the streets since he was 10,he didn't even take interest in Stephanie until the summer of sophomore year. That was only because she was willing to do anything in the bedroom when it came to him.
But with Aliyah.....it was instant attraction when he first laid his eyes on her. Her as a whole has a familiar pull towards him as it did for Aliyah. He couldn't put his finger on it....but he was willing to find out. She toss the ball to him as he caught it. They started a gentle game of catch until liyah threw it really far making Desmond run to catch the ball in time. " Damn she can throw." He thought shockingly as he caught the ball and threw it back as far watching her run catching it perfectly. " Damn." He thought as he bit his lip.

"Damn....Coach see her, he definitely gone put her on team." Ashton says as we watch Aliyah and Desmond throw the football back and forth. Mami gotta an arm on her. " No seriously......she's good....like really good." My jaw dropped as I watched Aliyah sky rocket the football at Desmond watching him catching it with ease.
" Yea....but wassup with you?" He asked. I raised an eyebrow turning towards him as he kept his attention towards the field. " What do you mean?" I asked. He looked at me as his eyes darkened clenching his jaw. " When you got up.....your shirt lift up a little showing a bruise on your stomach......I'm sure there are more." He states. My mouth goes dry as I felt exposed, how could I be so stupid?
" Oh uh.....it nothing, my dad came home upset last night......you know how parents can be." I chuckled playing it off. " I'm aware.......which is why I killed mine." He stated. My eyes widen as he stood there calmly. "I was 13 years old when my mom decided that I was grown enough to pimp out to her friends. When I would refused....she would beat me to an inch of my life and let her friends have their way with me." He dry chuckled.
"What about your dad?" I asked. " He knew and was mad I was crying like a bitch....said I should be happy that women found me attractive and that it would take me far. The farthest it took me was to my dad's gun closet taking his baretta, going up to their room while they was sleep and shot them dead. I happily sat my ass in Juvie until I was 15 with a smile on my face....at least nobody would touch me without my permission anymore." He says.
" I'm.......I'm sorry you went through that." I say as I felt my chest tighten. " It happened.....it in the past....but what happening to you is present....you worth too much to go through that." He says. I went to respond when I caught something at the corner of my eye. I looked over Ashton's shoulder to see brown charger parked by the gate. " What?" Ashton looked behind him to see what I was looking at. The car window slowly rolled down revealing Miles's face. He glared at me and Ashton, the remainder of the windows rolled down revealing his Crew as they pulled their guns.
"Shit." Ashton grabbed my hand as we ranned towards the field. I heard the tires screech as miles mashed on the gas ramming the gate driving behind us. " ALIYAH RUN......RUN!"

Aliyah's body froze as she heard Josh scream seeing Ashton and Josh run towards her with a car driving behind them made everything feel like a slow motion moment as she felt her legs take off running towards Desmond as he ran towards her.
BANG...BANG....BANG!
Bullets ranged out as they flew past Josh's face hitting liyah in the leg making her trip up a little but she didn't fall.....she kept running. She felt the need to get to him. Desmond not knowing he had been shot twice kept running towards Aliyah needing to get to her. Miles stopped the car letting his friends out as the continued their guns until it was empty. Ashton and Josh managed to dodge the bullets as they ran into the old entrance to the lockers rooms. Aliyah's hand touched Desmond's as they used the little strength they had left to follow their friends but ended up falling to the ground as bullets pierced through them.
"NOOOOOO!" Josh screamed as he tried to run back but Ashton grabbed him keeping him in place as he watched his best friend being gun down. Once the last bullet was shot, they quickly ran back to the car as miles drives off the leaving the scene. " GET THE FUCK OFF OF ME!" Josh screamed as he yanked from Ashton hold running towards the fallen two. He covered his mouth seeing the blood profusely flow from Desmond and Aliyah's body.
"FUCK!" Ashton yells running behind Josh as he takes his phone pressing buttons. "DE.......LOOK WE AT THE OLD MERVILLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL....MILES AND his CREW CAUGHT US LACKIN AND GOT DESMOND AND ALIYAH.......IT LOOKING BAD MAN!" He cried into the phone as he stood there not knowing what to do.
"A...al...... Aliyah." Josh voiced broke as he slowly walked closer not trying to step in thier blood. Desmond's breathing was ragged as he tried to concentrate on staying awake and keeping Aliyah calm holding her close. Aliyah was terrified, she didn't understand why it was hard to breathe as she had held a tight grip on his shirt feeling more pain surge through her body.
"Des....Desmond?" Aliyah coughed up blood as it mixed with the tears falling from her eyes. He shushed her as he wiped her tears away. In synq they took one last breath looking into each other eyes. "Aliyah....... Desmond.....no....no...No! ASHTON DO SOMETHING PLEASE!" Josh cried out as shook them trying to get them to wake up. "WAKE UP.....WAKE UP PLEASE.... DON'T DO THIS...PLEASE!" He laid on their bodies crying to the heaven. Ashton stood there in a daze as the numbness started to cover his body.
A Beautiful Saturday that started with a Peaceful day in Life......
