A House Divided

Marjorie

"Hello?"

"Hola chica...This is-"

"Loco...I remember you." I hold my phone up to my ear and walk over to my bed. "You were that guy that helped me the other day...thanks for that by the way...I appreciate it."

"It's cool chica...but I was wondering if we could maybe...hang out or something."

"Uh yea sure. When?"

"Right now. I know where you live so I'm on my way alright?"

"Oh yea..uh sure I'll see you then." I hung up my phone and throw it on the bed. I actually can't wait to see him. He helped me so much when after I got in the car with him. He took me back to his house and fixed me up. We even talked for a bit. "Marjorie....I need to speak to you." I roll my eyes and get to open the door. "What broad.." Maraye rolls her eyes and says "Mar...nevermind...It ain't even important." "Thought so..don't knock on my door again wench." I say as I slam the door in her face.

I turn around and go back to my bed. Just as I sit down I here Loco's car horn. I look down from my window and see him looking and arguing with someone. I tie my bedsheets together and sling them out of the window. I grab my purse and crawl down the sheets. As I'm going down I feel the sheet slowly start to tear. I look up in time to see the sheet completely tear and drop. Blop! I hit the ground with a loud thud. Loco runs over to me and helps me up. "Thanks Loco. I appreciate it." "No problem chica."

He picks me up and carries me to his car. Once inside I put my purse on the floor and he gets in the drivers side. I smile at him then stare out of the window. Wow his presence feels good.

Once at his house we both get out and up to the door. He unlocks the door and some other guy is on the couch. Dang he's cute...but why do they look alike. Loco says something to him in Spanish and the guy nods his head and stands up. He walks over to me and looks me up and down.

"Can I help you with something?"

"Awe...my fault shawty..I thought you were Maraye."

"Ew don't compare me to her. You must be her little boyfriend Juwell....hm."

He smirks at me and walks away. Pitiful. He is cute tho. But Loco looks better. I go sit on the couch and Loco sits next to me. We sit for a while and watch tv. He has it on the Spanish channel but I don't speak Spanish... "Uh Loco...I kinda don't speak Spanish." He nods his head and turns the channel to something that speaks English. He wraps his arm around me and scoots closer. This feels good. I like this.

His brother tells him something in Spanish again and Loco stands up and walks to the back. I get up as well and walk past the hall. Something catches my eye and I turn back around. I walk down the dark hall and turn into a room. It's dark...I start to walk inside when I feel someone place a bag over a head. I can't breathe....Oh god I can't breathe. "SOME ONE HELP!" I scream l. One of them pushes me to the floor and stands on my back.

"Tie her up." I hear one of them say. So I'm tied up and picked up. "Marjorie I'm sorry...but there's some business we need to handle." Loco whispers to me. I can't believe this...why are they doing this. I'm placed in what feels like the back of a truck. The person has no regard for me. For they throw in the back onto the cold hard bed. I feel the truck start up and start to move. I can't feel anything. There's nothing back here. I try to sit up and look around but this bag over my head is constricting. "Lay back down." Someone tells me. "No..." I turn around in which ever direction and feel someone hit the back of my head. I hit my head face forward on the back of the truck. Everything is blurry in this bag...my head is spinning. "I hope you enjoy this Mar..." I recognize that voice.

Crash....

*************

"OW be careful that hurt" I scream at the person carrying me. This guy just drops me on the floor. I already have a headache why do they wish to kill me? What did I do? Why am I here? The guy pulls off his mask. It's that Juwell kid. "Juwell why am I here ? What did I do??" I ask him. He looks at me in pure hate. "Look...chica this has nothing to with you..but then again it does. I'm sick of your brother running these streets. He's our number one enemy and he needs to be dealt with ese." "Ok but what does that have to do with me??"

"I need to use you." He tells me.

"Use me for what??"

"To lure your brother here..."

"So you're taking me...just so Maree would come here?"

"Si.." I shake my head in disbelief. I can't believe this is happening. I told Maree that one day his gang banging days would haunt him. But never did I think I'd be the one who would be taken..I can't believe this Maree...and Loco was using me too...He knew who I was. He knew Darmaree was my brother. So he only wanted me to get to him.

"Marjorie." Loco says getting eye level with me. "Do you have any idea where your sister is?" I shake my head no. He slaps me in my face and asks me again. Again I say no. "Fine...since you don't wanna tell me I'll just find her myself." He tells me. "Aye Chico taking Raye wasn't in the agenda." His brother tells him. Loco just looks back at Juwell and shakes his head. "Juwell...no one cares about your slut..do you not realize that's she screwed both of us??!! Like seriously ese she caught Chlamydia !!!" I look at Loco in surprise. I didn't realize that until now. Maraye did screw both of them. That's how she caught the clap...she got it from him...

"Loco you can't talk about how she caught that. You're the one who gave it to her. At least she got cured from it. At least she got treatment. You still have it you duck." Juwell spits at him.

"Man forget you bro...I can't believe we're related." "I ask mi amor the same thing everyday..." They turn from each other go opposite directions. I just hope Darmaree gets here in time. I don't want to be here...what if they try to kill me...I'm scared.

How do I get out of here..
