Find Me Again?

Chapter 9

Ray handed Valentin the gun as they pulled up to the spot.  "I'm trusting you hot stuff."  Ray whispered.  The gun shook in Val's hands, but he nodded.  "Yes I...I understand."  Val nodded quickly.  Everyone checked themselves and the dope.

"We good?"  Travie asked.

"Yeah man."  Craig said.  Valentin picked the large bag up almost getting crushed.  "I got chu."  Ray supported Val.  They all got out the car to see the other gang getting out.  Ray and Val started to walk out, meeting the leader and his goon.  "You got the dope?"  The man asked.

"You got the money?" Ray asked.

"Give me the suitecase little girl."  The man reached for the suitecase, but Val turned.  "Ah, ah, ah.  The money or big daddy Ray has to get all shooty and I don't like seeing big daddy Ray get all shooty."  Val teased.  It made Ray chuckle hearing Valentin call him such a name.

"Alright doll."  The man answered and the goon and Val started to trade, but the goon snatched the suitecase from him.  Val gasped and he heard a gun shot, the goon was down.  "Val shoot the man!"  Ray yelled running over to the goon for the money and what not.  Gun shots started ringing and so Val took the gun out and looked at the man who was taking his out.  

Valentin looked away and...

the man was down.  Blood forming around.

"Come on Val we gotta go!"  Diggy yelled, but Val was stuck, staring at the blood.

~ Flashback.....

        Jacob was young.  He was about 8 probably and had on a white sundress.  It wasn't his, oh no.  It was for someone else, but Jacob had the urge to put it on.

        It made him feel pretty.  So he skipped around and ran around feeling beautiful, but then as Jacob was walking he scratched himself.  A long cut opened up, and a drop of blood went on the dress.

        Before he knew it, there was a gasp.

        "JACOB! What have you done!?"  His mother's frantic yell echoed.

        "I-I didn't mean it!"  Jaocb cowered getting more blood on the dress making his mother surge forward and start tugging at the dress.  "I didn't mean to get blood on the pretty dress mommy! I didn't mean it!"

.......Flashback over~

"I didn't mean to get blood on the dress mommy!  I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"  Valentin was in another world, in another time.  He watched the blood like he was 8 years old again, tears streamed his face.  "I just wanted to feel beautiful mommy!" 

The boys looked at each other and so Ray went to Val and touched his shoulder.  "Hey...Hey..." Ray whispered and Val snapped out of it and looked at him.  "I didn't mean it Ray..I...I.."Valentin shook and stared at the gun.  Ray pulled him into a hug taking the gun.  "Never again baby, never again."  He whispered handing the gun off to the others.  

~~~

"What was that back there Jacob?" Craig questioned.  "Oh.  It was a flash you know.  It was silly of me."  Jacob laughed.  "Tell us."  The boys urged,

Jacob sighed and rubbed the mascara from his face.  "I was 8.  My mother had bought the most beautiful white sun dress for my cousin.  I wanted to put it on.  So I did when she wasn't there and I felt so beautiful.  So unstoppable, then I snagged my skin and blood dropped on it.  My mom came in at that moment and I flailed my arms making more blood on the dress....she screamed and screamed and tugged the dress trying to get it off me, but I screamed as well.  More so saying sorry to the pretty dress than her."  I whispered.

"Dang." They muttered.

"What did you tell your cousin?"  Travie asked.

"I didn't. I was locked away for 1 month or 2."  I whispered and turned away, walking into Ray and my room.
