Chapter 77Thursday Syncere’s POV: A few minutes earlier: “Alright guys we have a big game tonight so I wanted to try something different. I know we don't usually do any kind of practicing before the game but I read somewhere that it could actually lower your performance. Because your body is use to practicing daily, you shouldn't change that routine. So we’re going to give this a trial run, we are playing a team that is number four in the league, so it won't be that much of a issue if this plan doesn't work out. I still believe you guys can pull off a win. With that said lower your weights by twenty pound so you won't injure or irritate any old injuries, it will be light weight training only. Am I clear?” Coach asked and left when he was satisfied that we understood what needed to be done. Even though I hated weight training I was glad for the distraction. Ever since that day at Lillie's restaurant, Jazz has been freaking out about the dinner she promised my parents sh
Chapter 78Syncere’s POV: Continued“WHAT THE FUCK IS SHE DOING? I'M GOING TO BEAT HER ASS!” I heard Shawn said as he turned to head out of the gym. Hearing Shawn damn near yell, snapped me out of my anger, I ran behind Shawn stopping him. “You know damn well you can't go out there now. Coach sees you anywhere but in here until he dismisses us, you won't be playing tonight. Now get your shit together, we can talk to them later. You said Kymoni is coming to the game tonight right, so you can talk to her than.” I said, pulling Shawn back so we can finish our set. Shawn isn't the only one who is going to be having a long talk, I plan to talk to Essence as well. It wasn't because I was jealous we are friends and I know how dudes like them operate. She's a freshmen and doesn't need to be involved with dudes like them. I thought to myself as we finish our set, I needed to get my head in the game, because we can't afford to lose any games this season.Thursday: 6:30pm Game starts at 7pmEsse
Chapter 79Game Time: Essence, Kiki, Syncere, and Shawn: “Would you hurry the hell up! We’re late because I had to fight you to get you dress and your makeup done. We better be able to find a seat or I'm sitting on your damn back, come on lets go.” Kiki said as she walked hurriedly towards the gym with a whining Essence trailing behind her as they made their way to the gym. Essence couldn't believe Kiki pulled her IOU on her. That was the only way to get her into this damn outfit. Her and Kiki had a pay system, when one of them really needed something from each other, They would give each other IOU's, which means that it could be pulled at anytime as long as it wasn't anything dangerous, they had no choice but to do it. So when Essence refuse to wear the outfit Kiki brought with her, she ended up pulling the card on her so she had no choice. Now they were about to walk into the gym, and deal with the attention that they will get once they are spotted. Essence a
Chapter 80 Half time show:Essence's POV: Everything I thought would happen when I wore clothes like this happened. Unwanted attention from dudes that I see everyday in class just stared at me with their mouth open. I knew they were shocked to see me dress like this; hell, I would be too. Then you have the females especially Syncere's girlfriend and her flunky Leah, sitting with Syncere's parents. I would like to know how the hell we end up sitting right behind these bitches; I swear it feels like somebody’s really testing me and my friend. When we walked past them Syncere's dad spoke and told me he can't wait until Sunday. I smiled and gave him the thumbs up. I will say this, we have only been here a few minutes so far but they haven't said anything directly to us. Although it may be because they were sitting with their cheer squad and their coach, so I'm sure that's why all they did was look back at us every few minutes with the stink face. They were making litt
Chapter 81Game over: Essence's POV: “Damn I have to give it to the basketball team, they killed them boys in the second half. Those dudes, Syncere, Shawn, and Trent were on fire. They were unstoppable in that fourth quarter, they made a basket every time they touched the ball, and it was nothing but net each time.” Unique said, as we made our way to the court. Everyone was socializing on the court basketball team were doing interviews for the school news and newspaper. Me and Kiki tried to act like we weren't a little nervous to be out in the open, we knew Shawn and Syncere would be answering questions so we did have a little while, but we didn't want to stick around to risk being caught up in drama. Anthony, Unique, and the rest of the football team were in the middle of the court talking about the game and the upcoming party they were about to go to. Unique was very open with his intentions when it came to me, which was a big difference when it came to Syncere.
Chapter 82 Game Over: part 2 Essence's POV: “First of all, why are you listening in on conversation that wasn't about you. Second, I didn't say shit about dating him, and lastly, you don't just have girls in your past you have a harem and I am not going to be one of them. You can pretend to be blind about all the girls you done ran through that refuse to let go, but I'm not good at lying to myself. All you keep saying is, all them girls happened in the past and it's over with, but usually when somebody says, it was all in the past, they aren't talking about last month. Every time one of them sees me with you, I have to deal with foolery, to the point I have to threaten bitches. I don't have the time, the energy, nor the bail money to be with you. I have already been locked up because of one of your looney toon bitches. I'm not trying to make going to jail a habit, because dating you in any kind of capacity, means they will be doing shit to fuck with me
Chapter 83Syncere's POV: When Shawn saw that Anthony dude, pick Kiki up he damn near lost it, I had to hold him back from going outside to snatch Kiki outta that truck. “Yo you gotta chill out, you can't talk to her while you're pissed. Let's just let it go for now, you heard everything she said, so if you want a chance you better start checking them females you have been with.” I said to Shawn who wasn't even looking at me, but I knew he heard what I said. I looked back at the truck Kiki got into, and that's when I saw the dude Essence was with, pick her up like he was about to fuck her right in the damn parking lot. What the fuck is she doing? I had to use every ounce of strength to not do what Shawn wanted to do. Is she playing games to get a reaction out of me? Well I won't fall for those kind of games, I thought Essence was different then other females, but I guess some shit is universal. “Syn I can't believed you talked to me like that in front o
Chapter 84Essence's POV: A few minutes earlier “OK I WILL GIVE IT TO YOU, IT’S KINDA LIT IN HERE!” Kiki yelled over the music. I had to admit I was feeling the vibe, everybody was dancing close setting the mood. The music had you bobbing your head as soon as you walked in. Unique pulled me in front of him as he grabbed my waist and walked me through the crowd of people on the dance floor. “HEY I'M GOING TO GET US SOME WATER, IT'S HOT AS HELL IN HERE!” Unique said after we found some seats. We nodded and jammed out to the song that was playing. Me and Kiki loved dancing, we spent so many hours listening to Reggae songs like Patra learning how to whine our hips without moving the rest of our body. We don't be playing about our dancing, we take it seriously. We have never been afraid to dance or show our skills, we didn't care about what anybody said especially when we get into our zone. “SO ARE WE DANCING TONIGHT?” Kiki asked looking at me excitedly. I couldn'
Chapter 241Destine for Jail: Continued “I’m pregnant and you just attacked me, you're trying to kill my baby because Syncere is the father. You can be mad at us all you want but don't try to hurt our baby, he's innocent.” Jazz said crying trying to bury herself in Syncere's arms but he blocked her. “You filthy fat bitch, how dare you put your fat ass hands on my daughter and grandbaby.” Judge Taylor said walking over to Kymoni intending to return the slap, but Eula and her sister stepped up block her path. “Oh we not doing that, take your ass right on out of my baby's room. Control you daughter then maybe she won't get the Mario coins slapped outta her. We always say your face ain't pregnant.” Eula said, crossing her arms over her chest, waiting for a reason to get rid of the feelings she had built up. “Don't worry I will be pressing charges, you have no idea I am, I make sure you spend the maximum number of years behind bars.” Judge Taylor said pul
Hospital parking garage: Chapter 240 “Where is your phone what number did, he call you from?” Martrice asked checking Thomas's coat. “You won't find anything in it, because he didn't contact me directly. He contacted my daughter, and you can't get to her because her and my wife are long gone. They left hours ago, I don't know where, because I told my wife to pick a place and wait for me. I was supposed to meet them at the airport. I told them if I don't show up by the time the plane is set to leave, they are to leave without me.” Doctor Thomas said, with confidence. “Well I can tell you, that sucks for you, because if you can't give us anything then we can hand you over to the police.” Kain, said as the docs eyes widen, in fear. “Wait a minute, I think he could still be of some use to us. He has several miss calls, I bet this is his wife and daughter. I can heck their phones now and get a trace on where they are heading.” Martrice, said as he pulled his laptop o
Chapter 239Meanwhile at the airport: “Shouldn’t dad be here by now? Our flight leaves in thirty minutes.” Jazz said looking around hoping to see her father in the crowd. “I don't know, he should have at least called, maybe I should call him.” Judge Taylor said turning on her phone, before she could make a call and alert flashed cross her phone. “Breaking News, there has been a deadly mass shooting at Florida General hospital. The police have not confirmed how many are dead but, sources are saying that it was a complete blood bath.” The news woman said her face looking sad, as people were running around behind her trying to escape from the hospital. “Oh God, please no. no, no, no, come on Raymond please pick up.” Judge Taylor said as she tried to dial her husband's number with shaking hands. Her worry tripled when it went to voicemail. “Mom please tell me daddy's ok, this is all my fault. Oh God Syn is there too, he could be dead. I have to call him, please
Chapter 238 In the Van: “Yes, I have the asset, but there has been a problem, there were casualties. The men we hired are assumed dead, the police are involved. I don't think it's a good idea to continue to provide services. It’s getting too close to becoming public. If they connect us to this situation, it could ruin everything.” The masked person said. As the van they were in made hard turns trying to make sure they weren't followed. Unique sat in the back of the van holding a lifeless Derrick. He didn't know that his death would affect him in this way. They had been together since he first got to Florida, but once he had hurt Essence, he had planned to kill him, especially after learning he was the reason she was fighting for her life. “You cheated me out of killing you myself for what you did to Essence. I wanted to be the one to take you out, and they robbed me of that. I will kill them for what they've done. This is signed that me and Essence need to sta
Chapter 237Back inside the hospital: “Where is she? Where is my baby?” Eula, asked her sons as they filed into Essence's room. Once the air was cleared, the nurses came and escorted them back to Essence's room. They didn't have any answers to give her about her daughter. They were all trying to grasp what had happened, the janitors were cleaning up the mess and patching up the window Big C shot. “Momma by the time we got to her, she…. She wasn't… She wasn't breathing. We don't know for how long, we don't know anything at this point, all we know is that we weren't prepared for this kind of open attack. Once we got to her, we carried her down to the ICU floor and Doctor Angelic took her into surgery.” Kain said, as tears fell down his face. Shawn and Kymoni came through the door, Kymoni was looking lost like she didn't know where she was, she was silent, but her tears were flowing unchecked down her face, as Shawn guided her to a chair in the corner
Chapter 236The Hospital Enterance “Unk, there are two heading to the parking garage, leaving from the access elevator. Can you guys try and cut them off. Be prepared one of them has tear gas, more than one canister, it looks like that have an unlimited amount. There could be more men lying in wait, so keep an eye out.” Big C said in his ear piece. “Don't worry about these old fools, we have endured shit more lethal than tear gas.” Uncle Bubba said. “Just because we have endured it don't mean we liked it. Tear gas ain't fun, our eyes were red for a month when those cops sprayed us down with tear gas at that protest.” Uncle Ron said to his brother. “Would yall be quiet what’s the use of trying to sneak up on them and not letting them know we're coming, if yall going to run your mouth the entire time.” Their Uncle Junior whispered yell as he checked his guns making sure the safety were off his guns. “Just, cover your faces if they have tear gas let's expect them to toss them
Chapter 235Getting to Essence: Continued The pain instantly grew, causing Syncere to pause and try to cover his eyes. Then the first shot echoed in the air giving everyone pause. Big C and his brother all pulled their weapon immediately and took cover. Big C knew they had to find a way to even the playing field. He pointed at the windows in the hospital and fired six rounds, breaking the windows. The instant the windows broke the fog was sucked out almost immediately. As soon as he looked at the sprinklers, Martrice had already turned them on, he was behind the nurse’s station using his Hi-tech watch. He loved that his family knew what to do without him saying a word. When he looked again, he was able to see the armed men moving as a unit trying to block their path to Unique. He also saw Shawn running towards them with Kymoni covering Essence protectively. He knew he had to get his sister help, they didn't have time to fight this battle. Essence wasn't brea
Chapter 235 The VIP Floor Getting to Essence: “TEAR GAS EVERYBODY COVER YOURSELVES!” Kain yelled being the first to recognize what it was. They were all force to cover their entire face walking blind. The brothers had all been tested with tear gas in training and although they handled it better than anyone it still left them blind. “GET TO MY BABY, OH GOD WHERE IS SHE I CAN'T LEAVE UNTIL I KNOW SHE'S OK!” The all heard Eula scream, as someone tried to get them into one of the room where the gas wasn't. “MOMMA JUST GO WE WILL GET ESSENCE!” Kristian said, not knowing if he was lying to his mother or not. Big C pushed his mother and aunts into the closest room closing the door. He ripped his shirt off exposing nothing but pure muscles. He was a big man with not an ounce of fat, he was all muscle. People thought he was a gym rat, but he never stepped foot in a gym. No one could explain how he got a body like The Rock, when he doesn't even have a membershi
Chapter 233 The Hospital Showdown Continued: “Yall go ahead and stop coming this way, so just back the fuck up. Don't make me put a bullet through her chest and not her back this time. Please don't test me, because you already know what I'm capable of.” Unique said shoving Debra who cried out in shock. “Shut the fuck up bitch!” Unique said hitting her in the back of the head with his gun. Debra screamed but kept pushing the bed, she was trying not to make any sudden moves. “Please, just let my baby go, I will not try to come after you, just leave her here. She is too fragile to be going through this, I promise my family won't come after you if you just leave her here.” Eula said with her hands stretched out towards Essence praying that this man just let her go. She couldn’t bare it if he took her while they were all standing there. “Well Mother-n-law I'm afraid I might not be able to do that, because I am sure someone has called the cops and your family have
