"Do not grieve, for the joy of the lord is your strength—"
Jahking
"iman. we need to talk." I said as I approached iman and her friends sitting on her front porch,
she looked at me and then back at her friends, they got the hint and went inside.
"what's up baby? why you look so angry?" she smiled as she stood up and moved to wrap her arms around my torso,
I shrugged her off of me making her frown,
"what the hell did you say to jasmine?" I asked angrily.
she rolled her eyes and sighed, "I thought she should know about us...y'know? seeing as we're getting back together and all.." she admitted,
I sucked my teeth at her, "what 'us'. there is no 'us'. that shit's been dead for a long ass time."
"I miss you jahking...and I know you miss me too, or else you wouldn't be here." she mumbled taking my hand gently.
I snatched my hand away from her and glared, "don't flatter yourself iman, you're my past. jasmine...she's my future, i'm only here to set the record straight."
she looked at me shocked, she crossed her arms over her chest and scoffed, "so why'd you come back to freeridge then?"
"don't worry about why I came back."
"just mind you're fucking business iman, and stay away from jasmine, I'm serious."
"whatever nigga, bye." she hissed leaving me on the porch to go inside.
now that that's done, I need to talk to jasmine..in person.
I asked around all day looking for where this girl monse lived at, freeridge is a small area so it's not too difficult to find where someone lives.
once I found the house, I stood outside for a moment to think about how I was going to explain myself to jasmine.
everything iman said was lies but I knew it would only be my word against hers.
just as I made a step forward to knock on the door, it swung open revealing a girl with long curly black hair.
she gave me a confused look and moved to slam the door,
"wait! my bad, I ain't mean to scare you. I'm jahking. I'm looking for jasmine." I explained,
her face softened, "she left this morning. she's not with you?" she questioned opening the door wider,
my blood ran cold, "did she say where she was going?"
"she said she wanted to go home and get a change of clothes, when she didn't come back I assumed you guys had worked it out or something...?"
"fuck...okay, thanks..." I said.
she nodded and closed the door.
fuck. where the hell is she?

Jasmine
"ow! stop pulling me, I can walk fine by myself." I hissed as someone violently pulled me by my arm,
I had a blindfold on preventing me from seeing anything,
I felt myself be thrown onto a mattress, and the people around me were conversing in spanish.
after a while it became silent, I heard a door squeak open and close and then footsteps advancing towards me.
"please don't hurt me..." I begged,
I was so scared, I'd never been in a situation like this. my arms and legs were bound leaving me completely helpless and at the mercy of my captors.
I felt my blindfold be removed, I had to blink a couple of times before my eyes adjusted to the change of light.
"i'm so sorry jasmine..."
cesar...
"cesar! what the hell is goin on?" I questioned.
he brought a hand up to my lips shushing me,
"it's okay. it's okay, i'm going to get you out of here, I just need some time." he promised.
"where am I?" I asked quietly,
he sighed before answering, "my basement..."
"YOU kidnapped me?" I questioned raising an eyebrow,
he shook his head, "oscar.."
"what?—
"yo! hermano, where you at?" a voice yelled from the top of the stairs,
"I'm coming! just making sure she's tied up!" cesar yelled back.
"sssh! just be quiet and listen to everything oscar says." cesar instructed as footsteps descended down the stairs,
"I see you're finally awake senorita..." oscar smiled as he entered the tiny room I was being held in.
"give us a minute alone, go find the others, we ride tonight." oscar instructed,
cesar gave me a weary look before nodding and leaving,
I felt my anxiety skyrocket once oscar and I were alone.
oscar kneeled down to my level, "it sucks it had to be this way..." he feigned,
"what do you want?" I asked,
"we need you here for a little while...your little boyfriend and his cousin are going to come looking for you soon, and when they do...we'll be ready to end this war." he smirked,
his hand went to caress my cheek, I violently jerked my body away from him,
"tsk..maybe if you're nicer to me after all this is over, i'll keep you.." he smiled pulling away from me.
it wasn't until he left me alone did I allow the tears to fall.
the person I was just so angry at literally hours ago is the only person I want to be with right now.
