Chapter 20

Yo! Another chapter! I hope it just got interesting for y'all! :D

Cindy McPhearson wasn't the type to admit her feelings aloud, especially when it came to people she cared most about. This fourteen year old girl was quite a tough cookie.

Today was different, however. The young blonde tucked a loose strand of hair to the back of her ear. Her eyesight was focused on the ground; evidently trying to avoid the young Jamaican-American teenager beside her that had saved her life a few hours ago.

Conflict isn't something she liked dealing with and Joshua Keenan Caesar was currently her biggest struggle yet. The boy had a soft spot for her, which she failed to notice in the past couple of years. Cindy had her mind set onto the younger Freeman, as if she was under a complete spell that only allowed her thoughts to be centered on him. However, this spell had been broken the moment JC had taken a bullet for her. She realized how selfish she was acting in the past and it was time for a sincere apology.

After the battle they had with those guards trying to stop them and despite the circumstances being quite unraveling, she was adamant on apologizing.

It's now or never, she thought.

He was walking beside her, staring straight ahead. She inhaled deeply and opened her mouth to speak. "Jay...?" she called out, faintly.

He turned his attention towards her, nonchalance sprawled across his face. This made it even harder for Cindy to speak. "Y-You know...what you did back there...I -"

"Aha! Now I got a good hold of you two gremlins..." Cindy was cut short by a security guard that stood in the midst of the hallway, blocking the duo from getting past him.

Expecting the surprise, JC had already taken a fighting stance, glaring at the chubby guard holding a wooden cub in his right hand. "You ain't shit, fake hustla'. Come at me!" he yelled.

Cindy inwardly sighed at the outcome. Obviously, her plan didn't go so well. Being annoyed at the guard, she balled her fists and ran towards him; punching him straight in the gut.

Without having the time to acknowledge the sudden attack, the guard crouched down in pain, holding his stomach. He dropped his cub, giving Cindy the perfect chance to grab it and started wacking him repeatedly.

"You. Stupid. Ass. Motherfucker! I was in the middle of a conversation!" she screamed at him with every hit. "Ow! Lady! Please! Stop!" he urged while he shielded his face with his arms.

As she was about to go for another blow, two strong hands had firmly taken a grasp on her arms, causing her attention to drift away from the guard and onto the person who had just stopped her from beating the guard to a pulp. She was breathing heavily as she glared at the young boy.

"Yo, C-Murph! Chill! You gonna kill him!" he told her as he stared worriedly into her aquamarine irises. This was his best friend, acting up right in front of his eyes.

He knew something was up...

This wasn't intended at all. Cindy had been bottling away her frustration and the guard was just a good target. She hadn't noticed that he was now lying down in a state of unconsciousness. Her breathing had calmed a bit and her vision began to blur as she heard his voice once more.

"C-Murph...Cindy...what's wrong?" JC asked, using her real name.

He sat her down away from the unconscious guard as he crouched down to look at her. She furrowed her eyebrows and showed a glint of sadness; a rare moment to be seen from the vivacious blond.
