Save Me

Justine.

"When Chris supposed to be coming! " I yelled to August from my room as I slid on one of my black timbs.

"In'a few, he had ta wait fa E so she ca watch Royalty since you gone be with us" he said.

"Oh OK" I responded as I stood up after tying my shoelaces. I examined myself in the full body mirror at my attire. I sighed while running my hand through my big fro of curls.

I can't believe I'm doing this shit again. I mumbled to myself as I thought about the first time I stood in the mirror dressed in all black waiting to go on my first job.

"Kill her Jay what the fuck are you waiting for!!" I shook my head no while holding the gun up to the little girls head.
The fear in her eyes made my heart hurt and my eyes watered with tears.

"I can't do it Junie, I can't, she's just a baby " I yelled while backing up. I heard police sirens in the distance which meant that our time to escape was slowly running out.

"Please don't.. don't kill me" she cried, her big blue eyes wide with tears streaming down her face. She had to be no more then six years old and she was in the mix of this shit because her now deceased mother couldn't pay her debt.

"If you don't kill her I'll kill you then her my damn self and trust i'll have fun with the lil white bitch before i kill her now do it!" He yelled while pushing me towards her. I stumbled forward into the little girl. She screamed as the gun mistakenly went off in my hand. I looked down trying to catch her
as she hit the floor.

She laid there with blood pouring from her stomach.
I stood there staring at her as she choked on her own blood before her eyes closed half way and her chest stopped heaving up and down.

Backing up a little, my lips trembled as I looked at the gun then back at the little girl lying lifeless on the floor.

I wiped my face of her blood and stared at my trembling hands that had smudges of blood from my previous killings. I turned to look at Junie and pushed him.

"Look what you made me do!! You fucking asshole " I yelled while pushing and punching him.

"Stop fucking hitting me stupid bitch" he yelled then hit me across my face with the butt of his gun. I hit the floor holding my face.

"I fucking hate you!!" I yelled while crying as he pulled me up and through the back of the house. We went out the back door just as we heard the police bust through the front.

He stopped pulling me and lit a match, there was gasoline already surrounding the house so he just dropped it and watched the fire quickly surrounding the house. After that we got back into the unmarked car and took off.

"I can't believe yo dumb ass almost got us caught " Junie fussed. Still in shock over what I had just done, I didn't even bother responding to him.

"You know, if it wa'nt foe' yo daddy and Kelvin being my niggas, I would have been kilt yo pussy ass" he kept taunting.

"Ditto" I replied while leaning my head on the window. I closed my eyes and awaited the punishment I had yet to come.

After enduring three hours of physical and mental abuse from Kelvin, I stood in my room staring at my self in the full body mirror. I touched my hair that had blood in it, then looked down at the all black attire I was wearing. Although you couldn't really see it, I could smell the blood on me.

Things got a little messy as I watched Junie torture the lady and rape her. It was horrifying. But I had no choice but to be there. Seeing her Lying there helpless as someone who called themself a man took advantage of her reminded me of myself.

And all the 'men' who were actually less then men.

"Say Jay, I been calling you foe' the last few minutes you ready" August asked as he stepped into my room. I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at him.

"Huh.. uh yeah Im ready" I said while sliding my black Beanie on. He looked me up and down before smiling.

"Damn you look like a savage ma.. das' sexy as fuck" he said. I chuckled a little and walked past him out the door.

"I guess August , hey bae" I said while kissing Chris on the cheek. He looked up and gave me this big kool-aid smile.

"Wassam sexy savage " he said causing me to laugh.

"iight so this what I know. Aug you know that new nigga you hired" Chris asked. August pulled at his chin hairs and looked down thinking.

"Yeah, uuh was'that nigga name Juno or sum'in" he said while snapping his fingers.

"Junie, and yeah him. Duke said-"

"Junie! really tall dark skin, kindda muscular with a curly Juice type hair cut " I asked with my eyes wide. Chris and August both turned to me with questioningly looks on their faces.

"How you know him Jay " August asked with a frown on his face. I sighed and shook my head while looking at them.

"Thats Kelvin right hand man." I said quietly. They had the same look on their faces that I had and I knew we were thinking the same thing.

"That bitch ass nigga set all that shit up" Chris spoke for us all. I nodded my head looking between them.

"Yeah, the only question is how? He wa'nt by his self so--"

"Yeah that's the other thing, the body wasn't at Monica house when they got there, so my guess is, when she left he got somebody to go up in there and move it for him " Chris said. All of this shit had me thinking that somebody real close was trying to set us up too.

"Were there any signs of somebody breaking in or.." I asked.

"nah, nothing was out of place at all. Seemed like somebody used a key, we asked M and she said he was still there when she left 10 minutes after y'all" August nodded as he pulled at his goatee.

"So basically we go our selves a inside man huh" he chuckled. Me and Chris looked at each other then back at Aug, not sure what he was thinking but we knew whatever it was... more then one person was gonna end up dead.

"Yeah" Chris said nodding.

"Ooh iight, coo let's go" he said as he licked his lips and walked past us out the door.

Me and Chris just looked at each other then followed August out the door. We didn't question him because if anybody knew August, you'd know that his calmness is deadly.
