Forever And Always (HCBTO Sequel)

Lona laid face down on Jayceones bed with her shirt pulled up to her shoulders and her bra unclasped. Jayceone cleaned off her bruises and just the sight of them made his blood boil.

Silent tears fell from Lona's eyes. She knew Jay would start asking questions. Questions she wouldn't know how to lie to and once he knew the truth, Robert would be dead.

After the bruises were cleaned, Jay pulled her shirt down and laid down beside her. Wiping her tears away, he pulled her close. "You ain't gotta talk now ok? But you will tell me what happen" Lona nodded and cuddled closer to him "I love you Lona"

"I love you too Jay"

Sky hopped off the swings and ran into Xavier's arms and he picked her up. They walked over to Imani, who had set up a picnic under a tree.

Its the middle of Fall and the weather is changing. Its chilly out with a slight breeze.

Sky sat down on the blanket and Xavier followed. "What'd you bring?" Xavier asked. The fair starts in a few hours and instead of spending just a couple hours together, Xavier decided to pick up Sky and Imani right after school.

"I made some Alfredo, and made a few sandwiches" she said. Passing Sky a plate, then a juice she passed Xavier his food and drink next. "You cold baby girl?"

Sky nodded as her hands started to shake from the breeze. Imani rushed to the car and came back with a few blankets and threw one over Sky. "Thanks you" she smiled.

"Imani" Xavier called. She looked up from her food "Come here" he smiled. She smiled back and crawled over to him "You having fun?"

"Yea" she said softly. Imani turned so her back was to his chest and he pulled her back more. "Feed me Sky" Imani said.

"Uh no thank you" she said Trying to roll her eyes. Imani gave her a look and Sky gave her a small piece of her sandwich "You not say how big"

Imani and Xavier laughed and he wrapped his arms around Imani's waist. Sky went back to her food and Xavier put his face on the crock of Imani's neck.

"I'm falling for you more and more everyday baby" he mumbled in her ear before kissing below it. "You don't know how bad I want you to be my girl"

Imani blushed and giggled. This is the first time Xavier has actually confessed his feelings and he's not holding back any longer.

"Your beautiful ass smile. Your hypnotizing eyes. And them lips. I want to be able to say all that's mine" he said "Can I?"

Imani giggled again "We can work on it X"

"Dead ass?" He smiled. "Don't play with me"

"I'm serious. Just be patient with me"

"Whatever you want baby"

Its going on 10pm and Lona just finished confessing to Jayceone who gave her the bruises. He was pacing the living room. Heavy breathing, veins popping out and his fists clenched.

"Jay calm down" Lona said for the 7th time.

"Calm down? How the fuck I'm suppose to calm down when that nigga hitting you? Naw man, fuck all that. He think he can put his hands on my girl, and get away with that shit?" He yelled. Lona signed and stood up just as the front door opened

Xavier walked in holding Sky in one arm and holding Imani's hand.

"What's going on?" Imani asked.

Xavier sighed, already knowing what happen "Go get Sky ready for bed iight? I'll be up in a second" Imani listened and took Sky upstairs. "You told him?"

"You knew that nigga was hitting her and u ain't say shit?" Jayceone asked, walking up on Xavier. Lona stood between them.

"Jay no. He found out the same day you did and made me tell you ok? He has nothing to do with this"

"Lona I just got one question. Why you ain't tell neither of us about this shit?" Xavier asked

"Cause y'all would've went after him and hurt him. That's why"

"You protecting that nigga now?" Jayceone asked. "Man fuck this" he pushed passed Lona and made his way to the stairs but Lona grabbed his hand.

"No I'm protecting y'all. I know what y'all thinking and that's jail time. Don't do nothing stupid Jay, please"

He pulled his had away from hers and walked to his room. Pulling the gun out his drawer then putting in the bullets, he tucked it I'm his pants and walked back down stairs. "You coming?" He asked Xavier.

He nodded and both guys walked out to Xavier's car and drove to Roberts house. Lona started to panic and she ran up to Imani's room.

Imani was coming out the shower with a towel wrapped around her when Lona busted in the room. "They went after him" she cried "They went after him"

Imani pulled Lona into a hug "What you talking about Lona?"

"Jay and X went after Robert"
