Give you everything.

Jaylen POV

  I woke up the next morning to a sound of a heartbeat. I looked up to see that I was laying on Roman's chest. I thought of just rolling off of him but ultimately decided against it. I'm was still mentally and emotionally exhausted from last night. "Darren." I heard him mumble in his sleep. It made me mentally smile because even now he was still thinking of him. For some reason, I just couldn't go back to sleep. I tried counting sheep, keeping my eyes closed, even singing the alphabet twice, slowly at that. Nothing worked so now I'm just laying here staring at the  walls.

  "What's up? You can't sleep?" Roman said rubbing my arm. "Nope. I tried everything but it just isn't working. So now I just laying here." I said sighing. "Hmmm." he said as a silence fell over the room. "Not that it's a bad thing tho." I said laughing. "Well, how about we talk about what happened last night?" he said sitting up. That's Roman for you, always getting straight to the point. I sat up as well before beginning to speak. "Honestly I don't know what happened myself. I came home from school and next thing you know, I was forced face down on my bed and well you know the rest." I said as I brought my knees to my chest. 

  "I'm sorry but glad I made it here sooner because we both know wha-" I stopped him by holding my hand up. He pulled me in a warm embrace. "You need to be prepared at all times. Now that he basically allowed them access to you, it's open season. I can't promise you that I'll always be here to stop thing from happening but I can damn sure try." he said as I nodded my head while tears streamed down my face. This is why I can't tell Dion either. He'd end up killing him and I love him too much to see him go to jail for me. One thing for sure, I need to make sure my brass knuckles are equipped each time I walk in here. I'm not going down without a fight. "You OK? You kinda spaced out on me." Roman said snapping me out of my thoughts. "Yeah I'm good. Just thinking about a few things."           

 "All I'm going to tell you is to not give up. Don't falter, don't fold. None of that. Even when it looks like things aren't going get better, you push forward. Do not lose that determination." he said as I nodded my head. "You hear me?" he said making me face him. "Yes I do. I won't. I promise." I said smiling at him. "Good, now go get ready for school. I'm driving you." he said as I looked at him like he was crazy. "Man get dressed and meet me around the corner. Hurry up." he said as he pushed me out of the bed. "So demanding" I said as I quickly  got up and walked into the bathroom. I started to brush my teeth first. "You got a spare toothbrush?" he asked scaring the hell out of me. I Handed him on from my cabinet as he stood behind me and brushed his teeth. It was actually funny because we looked like an old couple doing our morning routine. Once he finished, I pushed him out the bathroom. "Ight now I got to shower." "What if I wanna watch?" "Darren said the same thing and still ended up on the other side of the door." I said smiling. 

  "Y'all two have always been so weird." he said laughing as he walked out the room. I thoroughly showered and finished up my hygiene before walking back to my room. Roman wasn't there anymore. "Guess he went to the car." I mumbled to myself as I continued to get dressed. "Jay are you- Oh I see you already on it." Allure said knocking on my door and entering. "Yeah I'm up. Good morning." I said smiling at her. "Do you need money for the bus?" she asked with a slightly confused face. "Nah. I'm getting a ride. Thanks" I said as I smiled at her again. "You're awfully happy this morning." she said. "I just have a good feeling about today that's all." I said laughing. To be honest, I don't even know why I'm smiling. Maybe it's just my way of coping with what happened last night. I'm not sure. "I meant to ask you about something but I'll wait until you get home. Have a good day at school. Be careful" she waved.  I smiled as I walked out the door. 

  I pretended to walk to the bus stop when I saw the weirdos riding past. Once they was out of view, I ran around the corner to see Roman on his phone. "I almost left yo ass." he said looking at me as he put his phone away. "You wouldn't do that. You know better." I said as he looked at me with a blank expression. He didn't say anything, just stared at me. "Ooooooo..........K maybe not." I said breaking the gaze. "I'm playing. Come on big baby." he hugged me as gave me noogie. "Way to give me brain damage early in the morning jerk." I said as I pushed him off of me and got in the car. "Did you pass out or die? No. You'll be fine." he said as he started the car. I just shook my head as he drove. "This my letter to the trap." the song blared through the speakers. When the beat dropped, I looked at Roman in surprise. "What?" he said looking at me as he stopped at a light. "Nothing. Just didn't take you to for a trap music type person." I said laughing. "A thug need love too Craig." he said as I laughed. "Who raps this anyway?" "Yo Gotti." "Might have to hear more of his music." I said as I nodded my head. 

  "Don't forget to give me my props." he said laughing. "Yeah I think not." I said as he hit the brakes and made me hit my head on the headrest. "OK, OK damn just give me a concussion before I get to school." I said as he laughed. "Again, did you die? No. You'll be OK." he laughed. "I think I have a concussion." I groaned as I rubbed my head. "Nigga, get the fuck outta here. Have a good day at school." he said as I looked up noticing I was at school. Well damn that was fast. "I would've gotten you something to eat but the kid is running a little behind." he said laughing. "You're going to be even later because you haven't washed yo ass. Got a lil must coming off ya." "Now why you lying like that? Wow, that's crazy." he said as I laughed. "Welp gotta blast." "Yeah yeah, yeah. Have a good day and remember what I told you" he said as I nodded my head.

  "There he is!" Dion said as he ran to me and gave me a bear hug. "I swear you're gonna crack my ribs one day." I said trying to break out of his grip. "I missed you. Come on." he said not budging. I sighed. "Somebody got a haircut." I said playing in his now wavy hair. "Thanks. Malika was hating on me." he said as I laughed. "I heard that smart ass." Malika said as I turned my head. "Lika!" I said jumping out if his arms as he was distracted. "Good morning baby!" she said hugging me and giving  me a kiss on the cheek. "You wasn't that hype with me." Dion said as I laughed. "You be so jealous of the love I get." Malika said as I smiled. "Calm down. You know I love you just the same." I said hugging him. "Ight. I'll accept that." He said dragging me to Malika as he pulled her in for a hug. "I just straightened my hair." she whined. "Ole Debo head ass." she said as he walked us into the room. "While I'm glad you three could make it but y'all know I do not like rough housing." "Sorry Ms.Miller." we said in unison. 

   We took our seats as Malika whispered that she had something to tell me later. I hate being in suspense. "You're gonna give yourself a brain aneurysm if you keep thinking about what she said." Dion said laughing at me. "It's not funny ugly. Y'all know I hate being in suspense." I said as I scratched my head. "Well don't worry about it-" "Would you two like to come up and teach the lesson for today?" Ms. Jones asked interrupting us. "Nah you got it." Dion answered. "OK then. Keep quiet and pay attention." she said as we did just that. She ain't have to put us on blast like that though. The rest of the day dragged on is my mind was still one what Malika had to tell me. Before I knew it, the lunch bell had rung. "Hey you two. What's eating him?" she asked. "He's been thinking about what you had to tell him. I told him to stop before he hurt himself but as you can seem he's too far gone." Dion said sighing. 

  "Shut up ugly." I said glaring at him as he had his hands up. "Come on, follow me." Malika said grabbing my hand as she lead me outside. "So what's the secret?" I said with my eyebrow arched. "Well I just wanted tgo give you this." she said as she pulled a phone out of her bag. It definitely looked more then what I gave her. "I know what you're already thinking but I couldn't have you walking around with no cheap phone. Not my friend." she said as I looked at her. "The camera is bomb! Plus I already set the phone up and put me and Dion's phone number in here. Now all we gotta do is make you a social med-" "Aht aht aht! That was not the agreement." I said taking my phone away from her as I smiled. "Well can we make you one?" she asked as I just raised my eyebrow. "Eh, I actually kinda like not having one. So I think the answer is no for now." I said laughing. Besides, Bryheem ugly ass would be on my ass if he found out I had one. I already have enough to deal with at the moment. 

   "I can't believe he actually has a phone now. Now we can put him in the group text." Dion said as I looked at him suspiciously. "Y'all be talking about me?" "Eh not like that." You're lying." "OK OK OK, sometimes." "It be your own friends." I said fake hurt. "Well we mostly be talking about how annoying it is that you don't have a phone. That's all." Malika said as they both ran up to me and gave me a hug. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't kiss up to me now." I laughed. "Group picture!" Malika yelled as I laughed. "I don't even know how to work the damn thing." I admitted. I haven't had a phone in so long that I actually forgot how to do shit on it. "I'll show you. Press this icon to get to the camera. When you're ready to take the picture, you press the white circle. Like this." she said as she took our picture. "You hit the square in the left corner to get to the picture we just took." she said as I did that. "Not me standing there like I'm stuck on stupid. Let's take another one!" I said as we got back in position. This time, we made a funny face and then I regular one. "I like those! Send them to me!" Malika said as I laughed. 

  "Oh to do that, go to our messages and hit this button." she said demonstrating the process. "Got it." "OK guys while I'd love to stay out here, I'm starving. "Dion said as we laughed before walking back into the building. I spent most of the day just staring at my phone. "You like it? Me and Lika made sure it was something that you'd like. Did you see the home screen?" he asked as I looked at him confused. He opened my  phone and showed me said screen. It was me sitting on his car looking at the waves on a beautiful sunny day. "Wait who took this?" I asked smiling at the picture. "Maliak did. I was already in the water remember?" he asked as I laughed. That was the last time I was able to go some where with them before Bryheem placed me on lock down. The dismissal bell rung as I was snapped out of my thoughts. "He's been eyeing the phone all day. Safe to say that he likes it." Dion said laughing as we met up with Malika. 

  "I knew he would. Oh and I made sure you have unlimited everything." she said as my eyes widened. "Really?" "Yes. Who doesn't have unlimited data in 2019?" she said as Dion laughed. "Well how much is the bill?" I said starting to calculate how much I'd have to give her every month. "Don't worry about it, we got it covered" Dion answered. "No real-" "What did I say?" he said as I shut up. "We got it, so don't even sweat it." Malika said placing her arm over my shoulder as we walked towards the lockers. "Now we don't have to play Where's Waldo with your ass anymore." "Ha ha ha. Very funny." I said as I deadpanned her. "Ight well I gotta go to work. I see y'all tomorrow. I'll text the group chat!" Dion said as he waved to us. "Looks like it's just you and me." Malika said as I smiled before walking out the door. "Do you need a ride home? My dad is coming to pick me up. He could drop you off along the way." she said as I shook my head no. "It's fine. My bus is actually about to come. I'll see you tomorrow. Thanks again for the phone." I said as I hugged her. 

  "No problem. I'll text you." she said laughing. I know that's gonna take some getting use to. Once I got on the bus, I quickly powered the phone down and stuff it in the inside of my binder before zipping it back up. I hope it doesn't scratch the screen. As soon as I got off the bus and made my trek to hell, I slipped on one of the knuckles Roman gave me. "Look who's home. Bryheem said as I rolled my eyes and headed for my room. The same two guys that tried to rape me last night were here as well. My anxiety instantly shot through the roof. I quickly took my phone out and put it as well as the box in the compartment behind my bed. "We got interrupted last night but looks like that won't be happening this time." they said as my door swung open. Game on. "I'm gonna get what's mine." they said as they slammed my door closed and made a beeline for me. I instantly punched the shorter one dead in his face with my brass covered hand, knocking him out. 

  You pussies got me while I was distracted but I'm ready now. See his friend go down seemed to have made the other go berserk. He tried to tackle me as I moved out of the way, making him run into the wall instead. I took his dazed state for granted as I started to beat his ass. With every punch, flashbacks of yesterday flashed across my eyes. I was stopped by the sound of a gun clicking. "If you value your life, I suggest you stop." the voice belonging to none other than Bryheem said. "Are you fucki-" I was interrupted by him pistol whipping me in the back of my head. A sense of shock and embarrassment swept over my body. "Look at y'all. Pitiful. Get the fuck out!" he yelled as one of them staggered to get on his feet. "You're forgetting something." he said motioning his head towards buddy knocked out by the door. "How-" "You're starting to piss me off even more. Drag his ass outta here! I don't give a fuck what you do. JUST GET THE FUCK OUT!" he yelled again.

  Once they were out of the room, he turned his head back towards me. "Get on your feet." he said as I slowly rose up from the floor. "Walk." he said opening the door and pushing me out. "See I let you have your little fun but now imma show you who run shit around here." he said pushing me down the hall. We stopped at this room all the way on the other far right of the house. He turned on the lights as this beautiful room came into view. "Strip." he simply said as I stood there. "Oh you must think I'm playing." he said as he shot a bullet in the ceiling, scaring the hell out of me because it was directly over my head. "Now, one more time, strip." he I slowly took my clothes off as tears streamed down my face. "I'm tired of waiting for you to see the light and make me your first so imma just take it." he mumbled as even more tears streamed down my face. I took all my clothes off except my briefs. "Slowly take them off." he said as I did as he commanded. "Look at that ass. Damn!" he said a little too excited. 

  "Turn around and face daddy." he said as once again, I followed orders. He was asshole naked. There was a moment when I would've found this slightly attractive, now I rather be killed in an earthquake or bombed by a grenade. To make matters worse, this motherfucker was grinning at me. "Suck this dick." he said as I stood there. "OK, have it your way." he said as he dragged me to the bed where he sat down on the edge of it. "Suck. This. Dick." he said as he held the gun towards my head. God, Darren, please help me! I slowly opened my mouth as he slid his now erect friend in there. "Damn this shit is warm and super wet!" He said as I cried. He slowly thrusted his hips as my mind was taken somewhere else. "Just like that. Some one has been practicing I see. Keep this up and  I might just nut right here." he said as I drowned him out. "Remember who you are and what exactly it is that you're fighting for." The old woman's words from yesterday replayed in my head. 

  I snapped out of my daze and bit down on that shit! "AHHHHHHHHH SHHHHIITTTT! YOU BITCH!" he said as he tried to pistol whip me again but I punched him dead in his stomach. "I jumped on him and started to beat his ass. "Boss!" Maleek said barging into the room. "You sick fuck!" I said as I spit on him. As soon as I saw Maleek, rage took over me as I remembered he was the on that killed my friend. I grabbed a blanket and threw it over he head as he ran towards me. I grabbed my underwear before commencing operation kill the bitch. "That bitch!" Bryheem said sitting up and blindly shooting at me. "What's going on?!" Mario said now running into the room. "That pussy bit me! Imma kill him!" he yelled as I was still carrying on. I was only seeing red at the moment. I was slamming Maleek into damn near everything in this room, while dodging Bryheem's bullets. "Don't just stand there! Kill him!" he ordered Mario, who looked a little conflicted on what he should actually do."I got this." he said as he pinched my shoulder, causing me to go into a daze.  

   "Imma.... kill..... you." was the last thing I mumbled before I was out cold. 

Hi! Sorry I've been gone for so long. The kid lost someone very important. So I had to take time to grieve.

Now that I'm back, thoughts?
