California Love

Chapter 25

Tia

I was having a small panic attack walking from the old bar but I continued to tell myself that he deserved it. He deserve every bullet that ripped through his body and every pain he felt. My Milan should not be paying for her mother mistakes especially mistakes that she wasn't aware of. I didn't feel right leaving my baby there with a mess to clean up. I could still hear the sirens when I left the scene and how they circled the small building. I just don't know how Jah was going to get out of this one and it worried me. So I called the one person who would move for him in a heartbeat but he was bullshittin around. I never met Marlow personally but I knew of him from the shit Jah used tell me. I knew of his baby mama cause her kids was always playing in the street or fucking something up in the hood. I didn't know who else to call besides Milan but what could she do. I began to call her phone repeatedly but I never got an answer only voicemail. I could feel my stomach turning like I was going to have a bad case of the bubble guts. I walked until I couldn't walk no more, until my legs felt almost numb and my feet wouldn't take another step. I fell to the curb of the side walk helplessly and began to cry and pray out to god. I never been a religious type of person but I didn't know who else to call out to. God knows I loved Milan and Jah they all I really ever known and all I wanted was to protect them both. I don't know what I'll do without either of them in my life. "Aye girl you straight" an unknown voice came from behind me. I looked up to find this tall man with dreads standing over me with a concern look. He was tall light skinned with a full beard and his body was covered in tattoos I'm assuming because of the tattoos showing on his neck. "I'm okay" I said getting off the side walk and then dusting myself off. "Let me take you home" he said still looking very concerned. "Look I'm fine and I don't even know you like that" I said answering his question with a full attitude. I began to walk but he skipped in front of me blocking my path. "Aye hold up shorty I'm just trying to get you home safely cause you look like you on the wrong side of town" he said with one of his eyebrows raised high. I laughed at how he quickly misjudged me and assumed that I ain't from the hood. "My name is Tia and I actually do live in the hood" I said smiling at his new face expression. "My name Brandon and I apologize on how I approached you. Can we start over?" He asked extending his hand with the biggest smile. "Yeah you can take me to my destination because I'm not going home" I said shaking his hand. He nodded his head and pulled out his keys and hit the unlock button on his whip. My eyes and ears followed the sound to a black and blue corvette. My eyes widen at the sight of it because I clearly misjudged him too. "Oh what you thought I was whipping a Honda Accord or some" he asked stepping closer to me. He put his keys into my hand and turned to walk to the car on the passenger side. This man just met me like five minutes ago and he was gonna let me drive his nice ass car. I followed him to the car and sat inside of the cozy leather interior. He looked at me smiling from ear to ear as if he knew I was a bit impressed. "Can you handle this car shorty?" He asked turning the heat on the right temperature. I laughed at him and put the gear in drive and slowly pulled out on the road. "That's as fast you can go?" He asked putting on his seat belt. I hit the gas and watched the hand go from sixty to one hundred. The power kicked in within seconds and his face changed up surprisingly. "Oh did I scare you?" I said giggling never looking at him. I drove to the park near Milan's house and parked the car. "Look I know your destination ain't no damn park what you really trying to hide from me" he said shifting his body through the small space of the car. "I ain't hiding nothing I just don't want you knowing where I'm going" I said looking away. "I ain't no crazy dude I ain't gone stalk you but I know when something wrong with someone and from the looks of you crying back there I know something is going on with you" he said talking with his hands. "I don't know you and you don't know me so let's leave this conversation where it's at please" I said unbuckling my seat belt and giving him his car keys. He took the keys into his hand and leaned in for a kiss. I pulled backed looking confused and feeling a little annoyed. "Come here girl I ain't gone hurt you" he said locking the doors from the inside and pulling my neck closer to his face. He forcefully kissed me but I didn't kiss back and I tried to push him away with my wrist but he quickly began to pull it to him and bend my wrist backwards. "OUCHHH YOUR HURTING ME"! yelled fighting to get my arm back. He laughed and took my leg holding my ankle so tight I couldn't get it out of his good grip. He pulled down the grey sweat joggers he was wearing that revealed his long dick. I began to fight more and more and yell but his free hand dropped the keys and he began to choke me so tight I could feel my air way slowly closing up. My head was getting light by the second so I stop resisting him and fighting him. He loosen the grip on my neck just enough and snatched my leggings from my ass. He tried to force his dick inside me but it wouldn't go so he struggled more with it. "Damn I ain't had no tight sweet pussy like this since I been out" he whispered in my ear. All I could do was silently cry as he pumped and pumped on top of me in the small space of the car. I never thought sex would feel so painful or that this would be my first time. He stroked with so much force going faster and faster that my vagina felt like it was being pierced in the wrong place. He never let go of my neck until his stokes slowed down and he came inside me then collapsed back into the seat. He breathe heavily into the air with his eyes close so I slowly moved my leg back away from him shaking uncontrollably. I unlocked the door and I began to run as fast as I could to Milan's house. The tears flowed from my eyes onto my face however the wind directed it to go. I just ran and I never even look back to see if he was following me. I ran about two blocks until I was at Milan's front door banging at it. I didn't even know if her grandma was sleep or not so I took the key from hiding spot behind the plant pot and entered the house. The house was so dark and the only think that was left on is the old TV set. I slowly went upstairs careful not to make to much noise and wake her grandma. I crept to Milan's bedroom door quietly and open the room door only to find it cleaned nice and neat for the first time. Her books and magazines was placed in order and her bed was made military style neatly. On her bed was a single letter laid out perfectly upon the bed spread. I picked up the letter that read: Dear love ones,
I know I'm not the perfect person and that I could be hard to deal with at times. I know I'm not easy to understand but I've made some mistakes that I could never come back from. I've been living a life that was never mine to began with. Since the day I lost my mom I've been numb to life it self and I've been fighting this battle for my nana and my friends Tia and Jah. I only pray that the three of you will never let this place we call life chew you up and spit you out and I only pray that you learn to be the best you that you can be. Nana I know you've told me repeatedly that the streets don't love nobody and I only wish I would've listen to you. Tia and Jah I know the two of you have tried so hard to protect me from this cruel world and the demons that constantly tried to attack me and I will forever love you two for that. I knew since we were younger that the two of you were meant for each other. Y'all always had a different type of bond I only hope you'll let go of what others think and allow him to love, provide, and protect you Tia. Unfortunately my time has come to an end but I love you all dearly and I will continue to watch over you.
Love Milan 💕
My tears began to fall uncontrollably and I was starting to have a panic attack so I rushed to the bathroom but there was no sign of her. I looked beneath her bed but still no sign of her so i stopped to try to think where could she be and there the answer was right in my face. I slowly walked to her closed closet door and open the door. There Milan's lifeless body hung from the pipe that runs through her closet. Her head hung sideways with a leather belt strapped tightly around her neck. On the floor lay a small stool kicked over onto the floor. All I could do was scream to the top of my lungs and try to unhook her dead body from the pipe but I wasn't strong enough. I just couldn't stop trying to unhook her body before I knew it her nana bust into the room looking to see what was the commotion I was keeping up. I turned around to see her face and she completely dropped to her knees with her mouth open. She began to pray so fast rocking back and forth on the floor I think she was speaking in tongue. "NANA CALL 9-1-1 PLEASE CALL FOR HELP" I yelled trying to get her body from the belt. I pulled and tugged until i felt her grandma pull me back from the floor and rock me back and forth. She held me close to her chest and cried and prayed out to me. "It's okay suga I know you loved her like a sister" she said rocking me and kissing my forehead repeatedly but still crying. "God ain't done with you Tia you got to get your life right with him and I know he's trying to tell you something" she said before taking her last breath with arms around me.
