The Life Of Neveah Everson

The Call

I got in my car and looked everywhere on the letter for the number he left to call. I drove to the nearest payphone and dialed the number. I wasn't going to risk him tracking my phone number. The phone rung and rung until finally on the forth ring he answered.

    "I knew you'd call. Your smart to go to a payphone though. I take it you got my package." He sounded exactly the same and for a moment I felt like that little helpless girl again but I couldn't let him know just how scared I was.

        " What do you want from me. How much does Emily owe you ? I can pay you that plus interest but you have to leave her and those babies alone. Including me. " I screamed into the phone I was beyond pissed at this point.     "Damn you sound sexy as fuck when you mad baby. I want my fucking money and something else too." He did a sinister laugh. "How much money and what else do you fucking want you sick asshole." I scoffed.

" I want one last night with you Neveah. You got 48 hours to call back with a decision. 58,000 don't try to cheat me either or else you'll die."

    Before I could reply and curse him out more I heard the dial tone. My mind was everywhere with thoughts. I didn't know what to do or how to react to his request. I couldn't help but cry. I cried for my past, I cried for me, I cried for Emily and most of all those two innocent babies whose lives are in jeopardy over some sick money hungry bastard. Climbing into my car I noticed I had two missed calls and a text message. I knew it was from Emily but I was surprised when I noticed a call from Jay. I texted Emily to let her know I was fine and I'd be home soon. I called Jay back and he answered in a sleepy deep voice that made me tingle. " Hey Neveah, Are you okay ? I haven't heard from you. I hope I didn't blow it." he sounded so caring and genuine. "I'm -I'm fine."

        right then and there I broke down into even more tears.     " Neveah . Baby tell me what's going on please." knowing he was worried I couldn't hold it anymore. "Jay where are you ? Can I come over its a lot to take in over the phone." I sniffed. "I'll text you the address." and he hung up.

       I pulled up to a big beautiful blue house. It looked like it's even bigger inside. I rung the doorbell and Jay came to the door with no shirt on. I couldn't help but stare.

    "Uh baby. You can come in." He said laughing. He led me to his bedroom and I sat on his bed crossing my legs getting comfortable.    He Sat next to me.  " Alright, spill it nigga." I couldn't help but laugh but I did just that.

        I told him everything about my past leading up to the events of today and the letter with big John. Before I knew it Jay had jumped up and was pacing back forth pounding his fist together

   "he ain't gone touch you on god he ain't. I'll kill his ass before he can touch you Neveah I mean it. I'll give him the money and I'll even go with you to take it to him but he isn't touching you or Emily ."

    I felt so safe at his words but I couldn't let him risk his life for me.     "No Jay you can't get hurt. You really can't. I'll do it. I can't lose you." I screamed before breaking down again. " Neveah baby. You won't I promise just let me help you handle this."

      He whispered as he held me in his arms. We talked all night and I found Jay wasn't always as put together as seemed either. He used to sell and gang bang himself. I felt so close to him it scared me but I couldn't seem to put my guard up anymore around him. I was falling for Jay..
