Gang over Love

Chapter Five

Meilani Marie

I heard loud laughter coming from the kitchen as I walked down the stairs.

I don't know how it's so easy for Melody to get close to these boys we don't even know. Yeah they seem harmless, but she needs to remember that they Kidnapped us. And I still have so many questions about that.

Walking into the kitchen I pulled Melody from her conversation, and into a private room. Closing the door, I screamed "YO MELODY WHATS WRONG WITH YOU? THESE BOYS KID NAPPED US. HOW ARE YOU SO EASY TO GET COOL WITH THEM. YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I WENT THROUGH THIS MONTH. AND YOU WERE CONCERNED ABOUT ME UNTIL YOU MET THESE BOYS NOW YOU COULDN'T CARE LESS. UNBELIEVABLE!" I said screaming in her face

Her face turned beat red as she slicked her hair back getting in my face. "Don't speak to me like that. You know I was worried. But you didn't even tell me how Day Day even got you and what happened. So how am I supposed to care about something I don't know about?"

I sighed, "sit down let's talk"

She patiently sat as I prepared to tell the story.

****Flashback****

I was so exhausted getting off of work at Victoria Secret. It was a long day and I took on a double shift. Walking to the car I dropped my keys. Using the moonlight as my own source of light I searched the ground.

Getting frustrated I got my phone out and used the flashlight. Still I couldn't find the Keys. They couldn't have fell far from where I was standing.

I stood up and angrily rummaged through my Gucci purse looking for my back up keys. I almost had a fit in the parking lot. Until I heard keys rattling behind me.

Turning around I saw my worst nightmare. My ex boyfriend Day Day.

"Did you miss me, lil bitch?" He said laughing maniacally

Looking up, it was at that moment that I realized that he wasn't alone. He had three large darkskin dressed in black pointing guns at me.

Before I could even respond, someone punched me in my stomach causing me to gag and begin to fall to the ground. Catching me before I hit the cement, one of the men put a stained cloth over my mouth and nose. And at that moment everything went black.

****End of Flashback****

Taking a deep breath, I opened my eyes and saw Melody and the boys staring at me in awe. I chose not to tell them about the events that occurred after the kidnapping, because I knew it would be too graphic.

They all shared the same look of pity.

"Look I don't want you guys to pity me. I'm okay now all that matters is that he's locked up again."

Nobody responded they all just stared at me.

Trying to ease the awkwardness, I pushed past Zay saying, "Move lil boy I'm big hungry."

He grabbed my hips pulling my lower body flesh against his and said, "Don't play me like that there's nothing little about me."

He breathed slightly into my ear before he released his grip on me with a smirk on his face.

Brushing it off, I made a plate of food and trudged to the backyard eating my food by the pool.

Once I was completely alone I began to cry over my flood quietly. Every moment that I have alone I'm reminded of the pain I endured with Day Day. I'm constantly reminded that I my life isn't my own and he'll always ruin it.

Wiping my tears, I shoved forkfuls of mac and cheese into my mouth.

The summer sun blazed my skin making my skin completion glimmer.

My thoughts began to roam from Day Day to Zay and Jalen. For some reason I felt so comfortable with them. They are harmless idiots who are way over their heads messing with this gang stuff. They don't fully understand the extent of their actions. Clearly they didn't think the kidnapping through, because they treat us like house mates not prisoners.

Yet I had so many questions for them. Starting with how they successfully jacked the ambulance. And how they knew I was getting rescued. Some stuff just doesn't make much sense.

My thoughts were interrupted as someone wrapped their arms around me from behind. Rolling my eyes I knew it was Zay or Jalen. Every bone in my body is telling me to keep my guard up, because I don't know them. But part of me feels a connection to Zay and I wish I could just take a risk and be happy with him. But then the thought of "This muh fucker kidnapped me" floods my brain turning me all the way off of him.

"What are you thinking about?" Zay said sitting next to me

"Just thinking over some things." I said keeping my thoughts a secret

"More specifically...?" He trailed off

"More specifically how you two clowns managed to jack an ambulance and how you knew I was getting rescued." I said bluntly

I noticed his facial expression immediately changed. But I could quite figure out why. He had an unreadable look on his face.

Clearing his throat loudly and averting his eyes he slowly responded with, "A friend of mine associates with Day Day and mentioned someone held captive. And coincidentally the day I chose to ambush was the day that you got rescued. The police at the house were real but I got a dispatcher tip, and posed as the EMT to get you away in an unsuspicious way."

I nodded even though it seemed weird that he had connection in so many high places. But I brushed it off just assuming that I think too much. 

Before I could respond, Zay stood up and headed back inside leaving the conversation unfinished.

Something just didn't seem right with his responses.
