Chapter 7
Cindy's POV:
"Damn idiot." I mumbled as I turned my back and ran back into the crowd.
Riley just don't know what he did. I told him to stay away for a reason! I knew Big Daddy was mad no past mad he was pissed and when he's like that he's dangerous. My heart pounded to the beat of the music as I ran closer to Big Daddy. I was nervous, not only for Riley but for me. It wasn't gonna be pretty after tonight. I just hope Riley is as far as he can get and even that wasn't far enough. I searched over the crowd looking for him when I hand grabbed my arm pulling me back.
Big Daddy stared into my eyes. His green eyes already told me the story of what's about to happen to me tonight. "Come on." he said gruffly and yanked me out the club.
"I-I told him to stay away. You were there you saw." I stammered frightfully.
He threw me in the passenger seat. "And you also helped him when he was getting his ass beat." he said and looked over to me speeding off.
"But-"
He glared at me again and I remained silent. I was scared, I'm not going to say it out loud of course but I was. I was about to get beaten, I knew I was. I looked out the window. "Suck it up Cindy, you should be used to this by now." I thought. However as the car speed closer to the apartment my legs literally started shaking. Which is why as soon as the car stopped I jumped out and bolted towards my apartment. I could hear him chasing me. This brought back so many memories of the first night. He grabbed my arm twisting me back.
"Please," I busted out surprising myself. "I told him to stay away."
"You done fucked up McPhearson." he growled.
He shoved me into the apartment complex and closed the door slightly behind him. He looked back at me and I felt even more scared. I started to back away and he lunged forward grabbing me and throwing me down on the ground. I scrambled to get back but he just kicked me back down. I shielded my face and he kept kicking him breaking through. He grabbed a chunk of my hair pulling me up by it.
"You're my bitch!" he yelled punching me in my face. "I told you to stay away from him." he punched me again.
"It's not my fault!" I yelled.
But his green eyes stared down on me uncaring. I tried to crawl away but he grabbed my legs pulling me back. "You done fucked up." he said again.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" I screamed.
Riley's POV:
I ran towards the apartment. I was sure that Cindy was probably in there getting here ass beat. I swung the door opened and looked around. Big Daddy sat on the bed with a sour expression. He looked down at his phone angrily typing things.
"Damn it..." he mumbled.
I walked over to him grabbing his phone and throwing it against a wall. "Where da fuck is Cindy?" I growled.
He stopped glaring and looked at me with a smug face. "Riley so nice to see you again." he said and looked over at the ground at his phone. He shrugged his shoulders and pulled out the same phone out of his pocket.
"Where the fuck is she?" I demanded.
He shrugged. "Look for a trail of blood and you'll find her." he stopped and looked up smirking.
I hated that face. I punched in the face and this time it was just to break that stupid smirk off. Of course his bitch ass didn't do nothing but fall to the ground clutching his face. I ran out the room and hopped in my car. Damn white girl, where did she go? I drove everywhere and still ain't see her. Finally I decided to call Ceaser.
"Hello?" he said groggily.
"I need you, Jazmine and Huey at my house in 1 hour." I said.
"Nigga it's 12:00!" Ceaser exclaimed.
"Look I need help iight?" I admitted. And that was huge for me, Reezy ain't never need help with nothing. When I did at least I ain't ever say it out loud. I waited patiently.
I heard him sigh. "Iiight Reezy be dere soon."
I hung up the phone. I couldn't even find out why I was doin all of this. Wasn't I the one that said I wasn't bout to get involved with hoe? Yea I was you know why? Cuz Reezy be a thug. Yet here I was searching for the one girl who was probably gonna change my Thug Life. I stopped my car abruptly. That was a scary thought. I slowly started to drive again with that thought still stuck in my head. I walked towards my door and stopped. I squinted, what was that? A small clump sat at my door. I smiled.
"Awww shit Reezy got his blow for the week." I said walking faster to it.
But then it moved slightly. I jumped and walked slower. It moved again, it seemed like the whole thing was shaking. I stopped as it raised his head revealing those two big blue eyes.
"CINDY!" I screamed running faster to it.
She jumped from my small touch and looked around nervously.
"Cindy?" I asked.
"R-Riley?" she whispered. Then she erupted in more tears.
I picked up the small girls figure and walked her inside.
Cindy's POV:
I felt his strong arms come over me and buried deeper into, trying to find whatever protection I could get. I was lucky I could drag myself all the way here, even though it wasn't that far. I banged on the door until my arms ached and I couldn't anymore. All I could do was cry, and trust me I don't cry. My whole body hurt. Big Daddy had done much more than I thought he was gonna do. I shook, I didn't want to think about it...every again. Riley brought me straight to the couch laying me down. I winced as I fell on my back. I saw him walk away and I grabbed his arm.
"Please don't leave me..." I begged.
He raised one eyebrow but sat back down. Then I was all over him. I needed him right now, and I hated it. I don't like needing people, that's having one more connection with this stupid world than I wanted to have, especially now. Even so when his arms came around me my thoughts went away and I slowly calmed down.
"Cindy I gotta get something, you're bleeding all over." he said.
"Riley please, Just stay..." I begged again. Shit I probably sounded like a straight up bitch, why was I doing that.
Riley broke away walking into the bathroom. He came back with a wet towel and slowly wiped my head off where I had been cut, and my lip. I could still feel myself losing more and more blood though. I layed down. Riley just looked at me like he was mad about something. He got up going to a cabinet and pulled out a small first aid kit. He started to get the needle and thread.
"I didn't now you had that." I said.
"Yea thanks to Huey bitch ass." he mumbled.
"H-Huey?" I asked. I was searching my mind for it and trying to ignore that fact that he was slowly and painfully stitching my head back together, thanks to Big Daddy. "Oh afro freak?" I asked.
Riley firm mouth slightly went up to a smirk. "Didn't know you still remembered our nickname for him." he said then looked at me. His brown eyes were twinkling and seemed to swallow me whole.
"I didn't." I said quickly.
Riley raised one eyebrow but he continued to stitch me through. "Iight..." he mumbled and cut the string, finishing. I sighed happy it was over. But even that wasn't as painful as what Big Daddy did to me. I reached up hugging Riley and he hugged me back. I felt myself gaining strength again but didn't let go.
"So I'm guessin yo ass don't wanna talk bout what happened?" he asked.
I shook my head timidly. "It was bad Riley." I said softly.
I leaned my shoulder down on his shoulder. Part of me wanted to leave and stop getting him more and more involved but I couldn't. He was all I had and truth was I didn't even have him. I already knew he thought me coming here was ruining his Thug Life. Which is the reason why as soon as I could I was high tailing my sorry ass outta here. I jumped as the door started to bang.
"W-Who is that?" I asked jumping up.
"Shit..." he mumbled.
"Riley is that him? What is he doing here?" I asked as the door banged again.
"What? Cindy-"
"He followed you! You dumbass!" I yelled.
The banging got louder until it stopped. I breathed a sigh of relief. Then the door flew open. I screamed and jumped into Riley's arms.
"CINDY?"
Jazmine's POV:
Was this another side affect to being pregnant? Because no way in hell was Cindy McPhearson sitting there hiding in Riley's arms. I turned to Huey who was looking just as surprised as me, Ceaser had a slight smirk on his face. Wait a minute that nigga knew didn't he? Whoops, sorry baby. Cindy slowly started to uncrumple herself and stood up looking at us.
I pushed through Huey who was standing protectively in front of me and ran to Cindy (well as much as I could being pregnant).
"Oh my gosh when did you come back?" I asked. She looked at me confused and took a step back. "What's wrong with her?" I asked Riley looking at him. That's when I noticed the first aid kit, I looked at Cindy who had a little blood on her face. "What happened?" I asked.
"Jazmine..." Huey started.
"What did you do to her?" I screamed at Riley.
"I ain't do nothin!" he yelled back.
"Then why doesn't she remember me?" I asked glaring at him.
"She is obviously still in shock. Give her some space." Huey said.
I sighed. "Maybe you're-"
"JAZMINE!" Cindy exclaimed hugging my tight.
My mouth formed an "O" but hugged her back. I felt tears coming to my eyes. I missed her so much and now when I see her she's all bloody and beaten up. She broke apart and looked like she wanted to smile but couldn't.
"Cindy what happened?" I asked.
Then out of nowhere Riley came standing protectively in front of her. The funny thing is I don't think he even noticed. Cindy but a hand on his arm lightly to clam him down. Whoa what's happening here?
"Look she been through alot, I'll explain later." he said.
"So why did you call us here?" Ceaser asked.
Riley shrugged. Huey raised one eyebrow and I smirked.
"Does Riley Freeman need our help?" I asked in fake mild shock.
He glared at me. "Help with what?" Cindy asked.
Riley bit his bottom lip. "Um can you and Jazmine go to the bathroom?" he asked.
Cindy looked at him scared. "But Riley..." Cindy said.
"Please just go Cindy." Riley said and sounded desperate.
She slowly started to walk away. I started after to her. We went into the bathroom and I closed the bathroom door behind us. She looked at me and her eyes were watering.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Don't tell Riley." she said quickly.
I suddenly felt very nervous but even so I knew I had to let her know that I wouldn't. "Ok." I said.
She lifted up her shirt in the back and turned around. I gasped and covered my mouth as she showed me the deepest cigar burn, normal burns, and bruises.
"Cindy..." I said softly.
"Don't tell Riley." she repeated.
I couldn't think of what to do. My eyes started to water again. I wrapped my arms around her and she sank into my hug. What the hell were we gonna do?
Huey's POV:
I was shocked true but wasn't about to let it get the best of me. I felt slightly worried about sending Jazmine in there with Cindy. That was weird, Cindy. So there were two big question's going on in my head. 1. How is she even alive right now? 2. Why did I send Jazmine in there with her? She's in shock anything could happen.
"Is you sure that's the same Cindy?" Ceaser asked.
Riley nodded going into the kitchen then came back with a big bag of something. I didn't really pay any mind to it.
"Damn what happened? She's broken." Ceaser said.
"NO she ain't! She da same old Cindy!" Riley snapped.
I shook my head. It was so obvious he was falling for her.
"So again why are WE here?" I asked.
Riley started to take guns, bats, and even a frying pan. I looked at them and knew what was happening.
"Ooh!" Ceaser exclaimed like a child at a candy store grabbing one gun. He looked at Riley with a smirk. "We bout to fuck a nigga up ain't we?" he asked teasingly. Riley nodded. Then Ceaser stopped smiling. "Wait what?" He asked.
Riley looked at him. "Do you see what he did to her?" he asked angrily.
"Riley we can't just bust through somewhere swinging out guns and bats and pans. We need to plan all of this and that takes some time." I said.
Riley stood up and punched a wall. Yea he does that when he gets really angry. "We don't have time!" he yelled.
I stood up. "Look Riley. I'm going to take Jazmine home. We can plan it all out tomorrow." I said.
He glared at me. Then looked at Ceaser. "Are you gonna help me?" he asked.
Ceaser stood up and gave him a stern look. "You're just mad right now. You need to let out that anger but right now going and beating whoever that man is isn't gonna help anybody." he stopped and Riley was still glaring. "Especially not Cindy." he added.
Right then before my eyes Riley stopped glaring and softened. Man he was falling for real. Riley sighed and pulled out his phone.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Calling up some old friends." he said.
"And that would be...?" Ceaser asked.
Riley ignored us and I heard loud voices in the phone. "What up old niigga!" someone yelled.
"What up Ed and Rummy."
