Will I ever escape?

Chapter 16

Ashley
"Hey"
"Hey you ok you want me to get the nurse"
"No no it's ok can u pass me my Apple juice"
"Sure"
She drinks her juice
"Who did this to you?"
"I was in a gang and I got jumped out"
"You dead ass"
"Yes Ashley, I found out that the boss was your ex Daniel and I didn't want any parts of it"
"So that's how Mason knew you and my brother?"
"Yes we were all in the same gang I just don't think your brother knows who the boss is he's a newbie he hasn't met any leaders only small managers"
"Ok well I already knew you were up to something when I found that duffel bag with drugs money and a gun in it. I also talked to my brother, I just didn't want to ask because I didn't want you to think I was nosey or something"
"Welp, damn couldn't hide nothing from you even if I wanted to huh"
"Pretty much I'm just glad that they didn't kill you"
"Yea that's what I told mason dont kill me"
The nurse walks in
"Hey Jada how are you feeling?"
"Better"
"That's good I'm going to check your vitals then you should be ok to leave just take it easy these next couple of weeks okay"
"Igh doc i will"
"Alright you're good to go"
"Okay thank you doctor I'll take good care of Jada"
"Okay you two have a good day"
"We will"
"Alright come on let's go to the car, get in the chair"
"Igh"
I take J to my car and help her get in.
"Alright where do u wanna eat cuz i know you didn't wanna eat that hospital food"
"Can I have Sonic"
"Sure put the radio on listen to what u want"
"How long were you in the gang?"
"5 years I been in since I was 16. I was the money counter for bout 4yrs then these past few months I was selling weed and coke"
"Wow, Were you ever scared?"
"Hell yea everyday always wondering if I was gonna get busted or killed just for selling but I'm out of that life and don't plan on going back. I'm glad I never had to kill nobody but I seen people die......it's so scary watching the life drain from their eyes."
"Well that's a lot but I'm happy u got out of that lifestyle"
"Shit me too baby, i'm still cool with everyone but im just not in the gang i look up to Mason even though he has a dark side he is a good guy i told you to block him because i didn't want you to get involved and become one of his flings"
"I figured that was the case if you trust him then that's all that matters"
"Welcome to Sonic may I take your order "
"Can I get the number one double cheeseburger meal
large with a red slushie and a number 3 single cheeseburger meal with a large Fanta"
"Sure thing sweets that'll be $15.25 at the first window"
"Here's your food"
Thank you have a nice night"
"You as well"
"Babe"
"Yes"
"I love you"
"I love you too beautiful"
We drove to Jada's house and ate then laid down.
"Ashley"
"Yes J"
"I'm sorry that you went through that with your ex"
"Awww you don't have to be sorry it made me stronger"
"C'mere I want cuddles"
"Ok"
I hold J until we fall asleep.
I wake up and look to see J peacefully sleeping and I get this great idea to plan a whole day out for her since she can't do much because she needs to rest.
I go downstairs and get ready to start making breakfast when I hear a knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
"Girl it's me Ray"
"Ok"
I open the door and let him in
"Hey bitch how you doing?"
"I'm doing good was finna cook my baby sum breakfast"

"Ouuuuuuuuu bitch you know I ain't turned up inna hot min"
"I know I haven't either which is why I wanna do this and I feel like it will take her mind off of things you kno"

"Good you know imma hooook it uuuuuppp"

'You're so fried Ray but I love yo crazy ass"
"Yes and you would be lost without me"
"You damn right I would but get out of here before she wakes up"
"Igh I'll see you later"
"Igh girl"
I actually start cooking breakfast, I get out the eggs and strawberry pancake mix.
"Good morning baby"
I turn around and see Jada walking down the steps while I'm making breakfast.
"This was supposed to be a surprise huh?"
"Yes I was going to bring you breakfast in bed"
"Damn baby I'm sorry I woke up cuz you wasn't next to me"
"That's fine gimme a kiss"
"Okay"
"So what's the plan for today"

I finish cooking breakfast and give J her plate.
"Ouuu bae this smells good and looks delicious"
"Well thank you my mom taught me how to cook"
"Well she taught you well"
"I'm gonna go change into sum more comfortable I'll be back"
"Alright"
I go upstairs and hear her phone ring. I look to see who's calling it says: Mother I don't answer, I bring down her phone as well.
"Here babe your mom called"
"Ugh"
"Y don't you like your mom?"
"That's a long story and very sad and I don't wanna talk about it right now"
"That's perfectly fine my love"
"Thank you for understanding"
"No problem baby I will never force you to tell me something I'll let you tell me when you're ready"

"Igh"
Tia turns on the music and the party gets started. In total it's 6 of us; me, Ashley, Ray, his bf, Tia and her gf.
Jada
"Aye,aye since I have all of my closest friends here i figured now is the best time to do this"
"Jada, what are you doing?"
"I know that you have been waiting for months for me to ask you this question and I figured that this would be the perfect time"
"Oh my gosh"
I look at Ashley and see her face turning red.
"Baby girl I knew I wanted to be with you since I seen you, in the beginnimng I was being dumb and arguing with you over the dumbest things. I have realized that there isn't any other woman out there for me. So I'm asking you infront of all of our friends; will you be my official girlfriend?"
"Oh my gosh yes baby I will!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yall so cute"
I give Ashley the promise ring and the necklace then give her a big kiss.
"I love you baby girl"
"I love you too babes"
We all hear knocking on the door.
"That must be the pizza I ordered"
Ashley opens the door and it's not the pizza person I have a full view of the door and who's standing outside.
