Lost In Love

The Devil

When Cat left I went upstairs and knocked on my brothers door. "Im gonna go to the mall later you wanna come?" "Yea sure". I went to go shower and get dressed. We got in my car and headed to the mall. When we got there we went straight to footlocker. "Pick out whatever you want, you got 30min". We went our separate ways I got a few shirts, hoodies, basketball shorts and 6 pairs of shoes. I took a seat while my brother tried on his last pair of shoes. I paid for them and we left. We shopped some more and then we went to the food court. "What do you want?" "Chipotle" he was looking past me but I turned around and didn't see anything. "Go find us a table" I went to stand in line, we both get the same thing everytime. I walked back to where D was sitting. "Here" he didn't seem to pay attention to me. I sat down and he continued to stare. "Aye what are you looking at" he sighed. "Doesn't that look like Derrick?" I turned around and saw who he was looking at. It was him, he told me he wouldn't be back until I graduated. "Lets go" he looked at me. "NOW" I slightly yelled, I didn't wanna cause any attention to us.

When we got home I sat my food on the table and I went to put everything I bought away. An hour later I heard a knock on the front door. I knew it was him. I opened the door and stood face to face with the devil himself. "What are you doing here?" You could hear the hate in my voice. "Is that anyway to speak to your father" he walked past me and into my house. I closed the door and walked in the living room. I sat across from him and we stared at each other for a few minutes. "I have a job for you" I sighed "what kind of job?". "I need you to make a drop in Caracas next month". He slid me a piece of paper with a number on it. "I thought I was done working for you? This year was supposed to be me just doin me". "Things change and if you wanna keep living like this" he motioned to everything in the house "you'll do what I say". "Fine but after this im done" he chuckled and got up. "Just call that number tomorrow and follow directions." He started to get up but then he turned around "Oh and I get a say in when you're done" with that he left.

I thought I was done doing this, working for him is like hell. He doesn't treat me like his kid, he treats me like any other person who works for him. Thats one reason I hate him. When I got shot he didnt even bother to show until I needed to be released. I was kinda upset and panicking a little so I called Jasmine. Even tho she hates me she's always there for me.

"Can you come over" I heard her let out a sigh. "Brooklyn, its a school night and I still have to-" "please". It was silent and I was hoping she said yes because I needed her. "Fine ill be over in 30" with that she hung up. To pass time I ate my food and then brushed my teeth. For the rest of the time I just laid in bed.

I heard my front door opened and footsteps coming up the stairs. My bedroom door opened and Jas stood holding Nico. "Im gonna go put him down" I nodded my head. When she was done she took her shirt off and was left in a tank top and basketball shorts. She laid next to me but I got up and laid on top of her. I liked being babied every once and a while, what can I say. "He's back and he wants me to do a job for him next month" she took one of curls and played with it. "Are you gonna do it" "I don't really have a choice Jas". I listened to her heart beat, it was calming. "Well im always here to support you" she continued to play in my hair until I slowly fell asleep.
