Perks of being a Criminal

Chapter 13

Aaliyah's P.O.V

I am so confused. One day he hates me, the next he is so caring and loving. What the hell. Should I ask him? No no no. I should ask him about last night! I got out of the bath and bandaged my stomach then got dressed. When I walked down stairs I saw the whole crew outside at the porch table and Jason pacing, back and forth holding his hands behind his head. He looked worried, maybe even a little bit scared. I saw Sam stand up from her chair and walk inside. She had a blanket and a cup of tea in her hands, she looked pale too.

"Good morning. Are you feeling as shitty as I am right now?" she laughed "Yes I feel awful. I probably should have told you what happens when you wake up sober the next morning." laughing again. "Do you want some tea?" she asked and I shook my head "Yes. English Breakfast with three sugars please." she nodded and began to but the tea bag in the cup and waited for the tea to heat up in the pot.

"So do you know what happened last night?" I asked "Not a clue. We should ask Jason. He saved us after all." saved us? what does she mean. I just decided to leave it till Jason told us what happened last night. When the pot made that really loud whistling noise, she took it off the stove, got three packets of sugar from the jar, and poured them into the cup along with the hot water. She stirred it a couple times and then handed it to me. We both then went back outside and I sat in a seat next to her. I could feel Jason's eyes burning into my body. I just stared down at my cup in my lap and never once looked at him.

"Feeling ok there Aaliyah?" Someone asked me angrily. It was Jordan. "Um I'm doing ok thank you." I whispered then looked back down at my lap. I knew he was mad and I knew he would explode at any second. "Aaliyah?" He asked making me look back at him. "Do you NOT UNDERSTAND HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS? YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN KILLED!" He stood up from his chair raising his hands in the air. "Yes. If I didn't understand I wouldn't be your boss, you would be my boss. I'm not dumb Jordan. I think I get it." I whispered looking back down at my lap once again. "AALIYAH ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I WAS SHOT! JASON WAS SHOT! YOU NEED TO THINK ABOUT THIS AALIYAH! IF WE WEREN'T THERE, YOU COULD HAVE BEEN RAPED ONCE AGAIN AND BEATEN HALF TO DEATH ONCE AGAIN!!" His face was red and the veins were popping out of his neck. I can't believe he said that in front of everyone.

Of course everyone knows about my dad beating me. But they don't know about the raping. Everyday after every beating. And when my dad, mom, and brother died, I was kidnapped. I was raped and beaten there too. I think about it everyday. How filthy I felt. Going to school with the bruises. Never being able to wear dresses, tank tops, tee-shirts, shorts. Being embarrassed to talk to anyone. Staying quiet all day everyday. Isolating myself from people. Being bullied and laughed at everyday. The only person who was ever there for me, was my brother. He was always there to talk to me. He also had cancer so I was at the hospital when he was. One night my mom and dad drinking and doing their normal routine of nightly cocaine and pot when my brother called my mom to pick him up. She and my dad drove to the hospital with to get him and never came home. My mother killed herself, my dad, and my brother. I was home alone at the age of 13. I got a few jobs after 2 years for depression and lived on my own in the mansion of a house I had. One night I was just getting off of work and a man, Austin, took me and brought me to New Jersey. He kept me for 2 years. Raping me and beating me every day. I was surprised I was still alive. One winter evening, Austin got drunk and was planning to rape me. He came stumbling down the basement stairs and I knew right then and there, it was my chance to kill him. He grabbed me and began kissing down my neck. I reached down into his back pocket and grabbed his handgun he kept with him 24/7, grabbed it, pushed him off me, and shot him 4 times in the head. The boys, Jordan, Anthony, Sean, Marcus, and Eric, were in Austin's gang at the time. When all of them heard the gun shots, they ran down the stairs and didn't know what to say. Something in me that day made me snap. The boys brought me back home because they hated Austin and Jordan said he didn't like what he did to me and thousands of other girls. He also said I could have died. Since they saved me many times in New Jersey, I let them move in to my house. With a lot of training and hard work, I became part of the gang and soon enough, the leader.

I must have spaced out for longer than I thought because I was crying and everyone was staring at me. "Excuse me" I sniffled standing up and walking towards the glass door. "Good going shit head" I heard Jason whisper to Jordan right before I shut the door. I was walking towards the couch when I heard the door open and close again but I ignored it. I sat down on the floor and began to sob. Whenever I think of my horrible past I cry. Not just cry, I sob. I saw Jason sit beside me and rub my back. I began to sob harder and harder breathing heavier and heavier. "Hey hey hey. Aaliyah calm down please. You're gonna have an anxiety attack." He picked me up setting me in his lap and began rocking me back and forth. "Shhh baby girl shhh. Calm down baby girl calm down please." I started to breathe slower and reserve to small whimpers. "T-Thank you" I shuttered and he just kissed my head, still rocking me back and forth. I took that as a you're welcome. We sat in silence for a while then I said something "Don't let go please Jason" I whispered "I won't let go Aaliyah. I'm so sorry for what I said. I got overheated and I don't know what I say when I'm mad." He shook his head and looked me in the eyes with such sorrow and promise. Thats when I knew he meant it. "It's ok Jason. I forgive you" I whispered and he held me closer rubbing my back. "Look what you've done to me." He laughed

"What do you mean?" I shook my head "Its been a month and you've changed who I am. You have something that makes me smile and I can't explain it. When I see you my heart beats so fast I can't breathe. Aaliyah don't listen to those people who doubt you and who criticize you. You know why? Because you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen." He looked me in the eyes and grabbed the sides of my face caressing my cheeks. All I did was blush and look down. I was speechless. "Don't hide gorgeous. Look at me" he put his finger underneath my chin making me look at him. He got closer and closer, his lips centimeters away from mine. "You are so beautiful Aaliyah never forget that" he whispered and gently pressed his lips on mine. He moved slowly and passionately. His lips were so soft and he was being so kind. When he kissed me I felt like the world around me has stopped. I felt butterflies in my stomach and electricity between us. He broke the kiss and put his forehead against mine. "Did you feel that too?" he whispered and I nodded. "Good because I want to take you out on a date."
