In Too Deep

XXXIII. I'm Home

Janae P.O.V.

I stared at the last person I expected to see. I couldn't speak. I couldn't move. I couldn't cry. Everything was frozen around me. I couldn't think of anything. I was snapped out of my thoughts by Jay pushing my shoulder. I looked over to see a crying Jalynn who was once in my arms.

My heart dropped. "Did I drop her?" I said tearing up.

Jay just mugged me. I looked back over to Trey.

"How the fuck are you here right now?"

"Munch."

The tears finally came. I ran over and pulled him into a hug. We stood there for a longass time as I cried.

I finally pulled away.

"You're not dead?"

He chuckled. "No."

I looked at him for a minute before decking him hard as fuck in his chin. He instantly grabbed his face.

"Nae what the fuck?"

"Exactly. What the fuck? Nigga I cried over you!" I said punching him again.

"You cry over everything." he said rubbing his face.

"Fuck you!" I said swinging again but this time he caught my hand.

"Nae chill."

"Don't tell me to fucking chill!" I said swinging with my other arm but he caught that one too. Now my hands were crossed against my body and he wasn't letting me go.

"Janae I'm finna hit yo ass back!" he screamed in my face.

"Fuck you!" I said trying to pull away from him. I stopped when something caught my attention. Around his neck he wore the Munch and Trey necklace I left in his casket. I stared at it and he let me go and pulled me back into a hug as I started crying again.

"Nae I'm sorry."

"I thought you were gone. It was my fault." I said into his chest.

"Hey." he said pulling us apart so I could face him. "It wasn't your fault. I would've took that bullet to protect you a thousand times."

"I'm glad you didn't die." I whispered.

I looked around and everyone was staring at me like I was crazy. My eyes landed on Jay holding a sleeping Jalynn.

Oh my god.

I ran over to her and checked her out grabbing her from him. "Oh god mommy is so sorry." I said kissing her cheeks. She stayed sleeping but her face was red and eyes were swollen from the crying. I held her tight. I couldn't believe I dropped my baby. What kind of mother does that. I'm so glad she's okay. I looked up at Jay and I could tell he was pissed and trying to cover it up.

"I'm sorry." I whispered to him.

He didn't say anything but he walked outside to the backyard. I know I was wrong but you would think he'd be understanding given my situation. It was an accident. All he fucking cares about is his daughter. I care too but damn.

I rocked my baby for another few minutes before I laid her down on one of the couches so she could sleep covering her with a blanket Kenya gave me. I looked at the door where all the guys went outside leaving me, Ken, and Bri inside.

I sat down on the couch and started crying. "I'm so fucking stupid."

"It's okay mama." Ken said hugging me.

I wiped my tears and looked over at Bri who was lost in her thoughts.

"I can't believe he is alive." I said to her.

She smiled a little. "Yeah it's all so unreal."

"You okay?"

"Yeah. I hated him at first. Made him leave. But I remembered how much I loved him and let him back in. It all just happened so fast. I didn't know if I should be happy or sad or mad. It was a lot. I'm glad he's back it's just hard to grasp."

"I hear you." Ken said.

"When did he come back?" I asked looking at her.

"Two days ago."

I nodded and looked over at the door.

"He's pissed."

"Who?" Ken asked confused.

"Jayden."

"He seemed cool to me."

"I know him. He can't stand seeing Jalynn hurt. I dropped her. He's pissed."

"Girl you're overthinking it." Bri said.

"I'm not. I know him. Lately he's just been so angry. Then later he'll come back and act like nothing happened and try to make it up with sex. At first it was a turn on but now it's like what the fuck. Everything I do triggers him. We argue, we separate, then here he comes acting like nothing happened. I don't know what's going on."

"You should talk to him one on one about it maybe he's going through something.

Just then the guys all came in and sat in the living room with us. Jayden came and sat next to me wrapping his arm around me pulling me into a kiss. I studied his face and he seemed cool. I shot a See?  look at Bri and Ken and they just raised their eyebrows.

"You okay?" he whispered into my ears and grabbed my hand.

I looked at his bipolar ass and then turned away. "I'm fine."

He didn't say anything but laid his head on my shoulder wanting to be all up on me now.

"So you gonna tell us where you been or what?" I said looking over at Trey.

He sighed looking at Bri then started talking telling us everything.

Trey Monologue

When you left out that day and I was shot that nigga also injected me with some shit. I found out later it was some zombie drug. It made me seem dead even though I wasn't. While I was in the hospital Luther paid the nurses to put that shit in my IV. I couldn't wake up to tell you guys I was just stuck there. All that life support shit was fake. When y'all let me go they sent my body to the funeral and then I woke up in a basement tied up. For that whole year they kept me in there and beat me trying to get me to tell them shit. They was gon have to kill me cuz I wasn't saying shit. While I was there I met one of the worker girls named Ari. She helped me out and we made a deal to help each other escape. We worked together for months planning it out. Then one day she came down and told me Luther was dead and if we wanted to go we had to go now. So we did. I wanted to come home but everyone was moving on so I stayed away. I couldn't stay away for too long because I missed my family. I had to come home to them. Now here we are. The whole time I was gone I just wanted to be back here but I was prepared to die. It just worked out for me

Janae P.O.V.

Everyone in the room sat quiet and listened to the story.

"I'm so sorry you had to go through that." Kenya said getting up to hug him.

"It's all good now. I'm home." Trey said looking at me. I looked away and down at my hands.

"My nigga." Tyler said dapping Trey up.

"And I appreciate all of y'all for making sure my family was straight while I was gone. I can't thank yall enough for that shit." he said.

"We got yall." Jay said from next to me.

I was so glad my family was whole again. I missed days like these. We ended up staying up the whole night talking and ordered pizza. We slept over here  and enjoyed our night like old times.
