Chapter 3

Scourge woke up in a hospital bed, Fiona and Sleuth sitting with him and waiting for him to get up.

"Guys, what happened?" He asked, his voice a bit groggy. Sleuth ran to his best friend's side and checked him out.

"Am I in the hospital?" Scourge asked.

"Nah, we just stole a hospital bed and I let you stay in my house." Sleuth explained.

"Dude, that's soooooooooooooo ghetto." Fiona giggled.

"I guess that medicine is taking a toll on you." Fiona said. Sleuth's mother, Bonquiqui walked in the door and just started yelling at Sleuth like he was crazy.

"Sleuth, Din't I tell you to do de dishes, or what?! I swear to God you are so lazy sometimes, why did ya have to come out of me, or what? Lookin' like Shaquille O'Neal oh tall ass! Okay?"

"Mom, calm your diabetes havin' ass down! Okay? I'm helpin' my friend who just got cut up like a fuckin' onion! Okay?"

"Boy, don't talk about your moms like that. Mine wouldn't even be having that conversation with me." Scourge murmured, shifting in his bed.

"Is that Scourge? Oh my God, I haven't seen you in a long time! Do you need anything baby?"

"No ma'am."

"Kissing up to poor ol' Scourgey I see." Sleuth whispered.

"Go out there and do them dishes before I put a belt to your ass." Sleuth groaned and went to do the dishes, leaving Scourge and Fiona alone.

"I'm glad you're okay Antonio."

"I'm glad too. All I remember is this girl patching me up, she was beautiful too, but I feel like I've seen her before. I just can't put my finger on it."

"Me neither. We'll probably figure it out later."

"Oh."

"Hell."

"Yes!" Manic pulled his siblings onto the steps and rang the doorbell excitedly. A man with red hair and gold eyes opened the door, and immediately knew who these people were.

"What's up Erizos?" He greeted letting them in.

"Hi Aaron. We need to speak to your dad." Manic explained.

"Okay, follow me. Dad! The Erizos need to speak with you!" He yelled. They went into his office and sat down right in front of the main man himself, Avondre Rose. Known for dropping shit when nobody is looking, and having one of the best gangs on his side through all of it.

"Hello, Sonic, Manic, Sonia. How are you?" Dre greeted.

"Good, we just need to talk to you." Manic answered.

"You know I would do anything for a family friend. I heard that you are getting ready to drop some big shit to all of the 917, how is that going?"

"Um, yeah about that. Scourge got hurt by one of Corky's boys in school, and now that we know what they're capable of, we need some extra help. We'll give you 50% of the profit we make and we'll figure out how we pay everyone else-"

"Daddy, Scourge Erizo is here, should I bring him in?" Amy asked.

"Yeah, his people is already in there." Amy helped the limping Scourge in, much surprise to everyone else.

"Scourge, what are you doing here?! You're supposed to be-"

"Sonia, who's been in the game longer? Me. So, I feel much better I just can't walk the way I used to. Dre, we'll actually pay you 25% of the profit and if we have any leftover money, we'll give it to the gang and our dealers and runners. Now, we need some awesome protection. We already got our first dealers on the scene with just a pistol, we need some firearm and I'll pay for it all." Scourge explained.

"30%." Dre said.

"20%."

"40%."

"Done." They shook hands, and Dre called Rosy down to watch em while he gets some firearms and weapons.

"Ooh." Scourge mouthed.

"Can I help you?" Rosy asked him.

"You're the girl that helped Scourge huh? Here, that's 60$, think of it as a thank you gift." Sonic said politely, taking out a wad of cash and giving it to her.

"Thanks, and you're welcome."

"Got damn she's beautiful, I call dibs." Scourge whispered to Manic.

"Dude, we're working with her father. We can't get attached, your feelings are just gonna get in the way." Manic whispered back.

"Right, so we'll just be-"

"Nothing. You can go out after the drop. Right now, it's about beating Corky at his own game. We don't sell base, but this drop is gonna be over 30 pounds of base."

"Damn, I like the way you think little guy."

"Thank you."

"Okay guys. Here are your firearms, and I'll get one of my gangs to help you guys in the long run."

"Thanks Dre." With that they left, but Scourge thought he would stick around and talk to Rosy.

"What's up."

"Look, Dad said not to get attached so that's what I'm doing." Rosy snapped, rolling her eyes.

"Daddy's girl huh? I likes that." Scourge whispered.

"Will you get off my property please and never talk to me again, thank you."

"You saved me from dying so I owe you- "

"This money was a gift."

"Yeah from my brother. What about something from your boy?"

"Look, if you're talking about sex, then you're not in luck because I'm not having sex until I'm married." Scourge scoffed. "Besides, you had sex with Brenda Santiago, ew."

"A girl with morals huh? Chica when I'm done with you, you won't have no more morals."

"Nigga please get off my property before I get my dad." Rosy said, popping her gum.

Scourge grabbed her by her waist and pulled her to him. Blush ran across her cheeks at how close they were, and at how strong he is.

"How tall are you?" Scourge asked.

"5'8." Rosy murmured.

"Uh-huh. I'll catch you later, since you want me to leave so bad. Goodnight, Rosy." He slapped her butt and winked at her before limping to his car and driving off.

(Rosy POV)

Amy walked up behind me and chuckled. "You guys are cute."

"What?! What are you talking about?! Him, no." I said, fumbling over my words. Stupid, fucking, esé! He was voted biggest flirt and I think that is beyond accurate! Every cute girl he sees; he fucks with them.

"Rosy, it's written all over your face. You like him!"

"No I don't! He likes me, but I definitely do NOT like him. Dad says not to get involved with your workers so, that's what I'ma do."

"Alright Rose, this is all I'm saying. My mind is telling me no…" Amy started. Oh shit, she getting ready to sing.

"Amy." I warned.

"But my body! But my body is telling me yes! I don't wanna hurt nobody. Why you wanna hurt him Rosy?!"

"Amy! I just don't like him, not even as a friend."

"You know, looks can be deceiving. Maybe he's a nice guy, just putting up a front for everyone." She does have a point. What if he is a gentleman? Nah, I highly doubt that he is. Again, this is business, cannot let my feelings get involved.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I walked out my house and made my way to school, that's when the bullshit starts.

"Rose! Wait up!" Scourge yelled. I rolled my eyes and kept walking. The next thing I knew; this stupid bitch was right next to me trying to keep up with me.

"Hey baby." He said smoothly.

I scoffed and rolled my eyes. "I am not your baby, and you are not my daddy." I said.

"Ooh but I would love to be your daddy. Come on Rose, I know you want to be with me, so why not?"

"Business. That's why. I don't like mixing business with pleasure, especially when you have people after you."

"Come on, these people won't touch you. I swear to God I won't let them touch you." Scourge whispered in my ear. I pushed him away from me and started to get in his face.

"Look! I don't like you! Not even as a friend, so leave me alone and don't think after this when everything has died down that you're gonna get some because guess what I'm gonna be celibate! You're gonna have to put a big diamond ring on my left finger and we're gonna have to have some type of commitment! I don't like you, nobody likes you because you're a pervert and all you do is have sex with women to get your point across or just to fuck!" I yelled.

He stared at me like I was crazy. I'm not crazy, he's crazy! I believe in commitment because my dad and mom was not happy and she went and married Corky. But that's not the point, until you give me everything you got in a relationship, we are not friends nor partners! I'm not just gonna let any dude in my life.

"So is that possibility?" Scourge asked. I should've punched him in the face, but I turned away from him and went to school, like a normal person!

I walked to my locker, and took the books I needed out. I was still pissed off, but my gay guardian angel/ best friend James came to his locker and waved his fan in front of his face.

"Hey Sexy, what you mad about?" He asked.

"You know Antonio Erizo?" I asked.

"Ooh girl, you mean the Hispanic dude with the beautiful hair and eyes and sharp teeth? Hell yeah I know him." James exclaimed.

"Well ever since I saved his life, he's been trying to get in my pants, and I keep telling him that I'm celibate and I'm not trying to mix business with pleasure." I explained.

"Girl you know you need to give him the panties. Celibacy is boring. My mom said the same thing and guess what, she ended up with this fabulous son." James said, waving his fan in front of his face.

"You're right, you are fabulous."

"Speak of the sexy devil, there goes your baby daddy." Scourge made his way towards us, a sly look on his face and backed me up into a locker.

"Hey baby."

"Didn't we just have this conversation outside?" I asked.

"Yeah, it just made me want you more." He whispered.

"Get off me please." I demanded, gripping my pocket knife.

"Girl give him a chance!" James whispered harshly.

"No! Move Scourge! Damn." I pushed him off of me and turned my back away from him.

"Okay, okay. I'll see you later." Scourge gave me a kiss on the cheek and walked back over to his friends. Then some more bullshit happened, right when the bell rings.

"I'll catch up with you, I gotta get another book." I said to James. I opened my locker and that's when someone started breathing on my ear. I turned to see Ian standing there, just staring at me hungrily.

"What the fuck do you want?" I asked.

"You." He answered, licking his lips. He pulled me to his body and caressed and gripped on my ass and that shit hurt! This might be Corky trying to take a shot at me and my family, he is with my mom.

"Get away from me." I whimpered. He chuckled and knocked the books out of my hand, picked me up and started to drag me somewhere. I didn't know what he was gonna do to me, all I know is that I'm scared and I want my daddy.

Ooh, cliffhanger. Oh how I love cliffhangers, it adds more intensity.

I do not own, Sleuth, Scourge, Rosy, Fiona, Sonic, Manic and Sonia.

Ian belongs to TxA23

I own everyone else.
