A House Divided

Maraye

How could he do this to me? Why would he kidnap me and my family? He said he didn't want me getting caught up in this but look where I am. Then Loco's crazy tail kills her baby... what sane person does that?? Oh wait Loco isn't sane. That's why he's called Loco.

Where's dad?? Where's Maree?? Why isn't anyone coming to help us?! I don't want to die here. Maree whatever you've done please get this together. We're all scared. "Alright ladies it's time for Saw to begin." I look up and see Loco approaching me. Why me? Why am I first.

He walks over to me and grips a handful of my hair and pulls me up. "Ouch Loco let me go!" I say hitting across the face. He throws me against the wall and begins punching me. Juwell walks in and runs over to his brother.

"Aye ese esta fuera De Los limites!" He told Loco that I'm off limits. Thank god. There you go baby fight for me. They begun to argue and shove each other. I stand up and push Loco off of Juwell. He gets back up and begins to laugh. "This is pathetic." He says shaking his head. He points his gun at both of us. "I should kill you both." Juwell grabs me and pulls me behind him. "Do it ese..." He urges. "Juwell no.."I say quietly. He shushes me and I grab his waist. Loco laughs again and looks down at my mom and sister then back at us. He shakes his head and walks out the room leaving us. Juwell turns to me. "Baby I'm sorry about all of this I just want everything to end with this whole gang thing." He says rubbing his face. "Baby I love you ok? I'm not gonna this dude hurt you. Whether or not he is or isn't my hermano." He grabs me and pulls me closer to him. "Te Amo baby." He says kissing me. "Te Amo bae." I say back.

"Well I'm glad you two are having a good time." My mom says staring at us.

There's some shuffling outside the door and men yelling. Gun shots go off and everyone ducks except for Juwell. He walks over to the door and before he gets a chance to open it Loco rushes inside with our dad. He's holding his arm and blood is rushing out. He collapses and passes out on the floor. He rush over to him. "Dad!" I shake him but he only rolls over. I feel his face. He out cold. "What did you do to my dad!!!" I scream at Loco. "Oh nothing babes. He just didn't want to cooperate." I stand up and run over to Loco kicking and scratching him. I hit him in his face again and kick him in his knee. He pushes me off but I only go back to him. I feel several other hands grab me and pull me back. It's Juwell and my sister. I push them off of me but Juwell holds me back.

"Enough of this hermano. We got to stop this. I mean look around bro. Look at what we've done. If we want Darmaree then we need to go after HIM ourselves not his family. I'm not about hurt my girl over this mess yo" Juwell tells his brother.

"See I'm sick of you hijo!! You always sticking up for this bacon b****! You my brother ese!! But you choosing hoes of family!!" Loco screams getting in Juwell's face.

"Bro we getting older!! We ain't little kids anymore dude. We broke!!! We ain't got no money. Then I can't get a legit job because of this gang banging mess. I'm sick of this Loco. I'm done with this! I gotta baby on the way man! I gotta take care of my family!" Juwell screams back pushing his brother. Everyone stops and stares at me. Well I guess now would be the time to tell them. "Um...yea..everybody I uh...me and Juwell are having a baby...we're together and we're starting a family." My mom's jaw drops and Loco scrunches up his face.

"Just nasty...really bro.." He says looking back at his brother. "You got this bacon broad pregnant? After she had the clap?...Nigga you nasty...I'm surprised yo thing ain't fell off." Loco says turning his nose up at us. That sets Juwell off. He pushes Loco against the door and they begin to wrestle. I have to stop them. Loco still has his gun in his hand.

I spot the gun in his hand waving back and forth. I try to reach for it but they push me back and I hit the wall behind me. Loco finally pushed Juwell of him. "You know what. You don't deserve to live. You've betrayed our family. You're done." Pow pow pow. Juwell drops to the floor. "BABY!!!" I rush over to him and grab his face to hold him up. "I'm ok baby...He's a lousy shot. The last shot only grazed me. I'm fine." Tears roll down my face as I hold him. "I thought I lost you..."I whisper. "I'm not going anywhere" he whispers back.

"And now you." Loco says standing over me. "You're next." He clocks the gun back. I close my eyes and hold Juwell close. Pow.

I open my eyes and feel around us. I look at everyone else who seem to be ok. Then I look at Loco. He looks behind him and Crash is standing in the door way holding his side. He collapses and holds the wall. Blood spills out of his mouth as he spits some of it out. I look over at Marjorie whose shaking uncontrollably. She drops a gun and looks at me. "I - I had to do it....He...He was about to shoot us."

"Are there gonna be any more interruptions?" Loco asks. No one says anything. It's dead slient. The only sound you here is Juwell's breathing. "Alright then on with the execution." He turns back to me and points the gun in my face. I close my eyes again. I know it's my time.
Pow pow pow pow
Pow pow pow pow!

We all turn around. "YEAAAHHH YOU THOUGHT I WASN'T GONE FIND YOU HUH BRUH!! And look at this...what a mess you've made..." Thank God !! "Darmaree get us out of here!!" Mar yells. "I got this sis..." He tells her. I hold Juwell Closer to me making sure he's still breathing ok. "This is the end of the road for you Loco. I'm sick of this beef man. Now it's over." He tell Loco. Him and his point their guns at Loco. Shots begin ring out between both parties but no one seems to die. Loco screams because someone's bullet hit him in the shoulder.

I notice the door is still open and I motion to everyone to go that way. We all sneak out of the door and so does Maree and his boys. One of his boys grabs Dad and we make our way outside.

Once out there everyone seems to let out a sigh of relief. "Raid light this mug up like the fourth of July." Maree says. His boy does what he says and the whole place is a blaze in less than 5 mintues. We hear the police sirens and we all get in the cars Maree came in and we dip. Juwell is ok. He's just asleep.

Dad is still unconscious though. I tell Maree that we need to take him to the hospital. He nods his head and orders one of his boys to take us there. Once were there mom, dad, and that guy Raid get out. Raid gets out to carry dad and mom just walks. The rest of us head back to the trap house. We pull up in the yard and get out of the truck. We walk up to the door and Maree does a special knock and one of the girls let us in. We settle on the couch and floor and Maree tells us that we're gonna stay here for the next few days until things cool down with the gangs and the Feds. We all nod in understanding.

"Thank you" I say looking up to the skies.

"You've come through for us."
