Chapter 2:

I hate mornings and I've never liked them. It's always a hassle to me. The sun always shined at my eyes blinding me even if they were shut. I moved slightly and I realized that there was an arm around me. I opened my eye saw Jack facing me with his arm wrapped around me. I tried to move gently so I wouldn't wake him but that didn't work to well. Lets just say that it ended up with his arm still wrapped around me but a bit tighter and our lips about less than an inch away, with him still being dead asleep. I could feel Jack's warm breath on my lips and it sent chills down my spine.

"Jack" I said softly and shook him a bit. Jack was dead to the world. I didn't think otherwise though. Jack and his family have had a rough couple days. "Jackie…" I said a little louder and shook him harder. Jack moved his head into my shoulder and grunted. When he didn't move again I sighed. "Jack!" I said louder but not shouting and shook him more. "Stop shaking me…" Jack mumbled into my shoulder. "Well I couldn't get out of bed. How was I suppose to get up?" I asked and jack shrugged. "You wouldn't get up I guess" He smart remarked. "Smart ass" I said. I could tell he was just holding his laughter in. I laughed and looked at him. "You ok?" I asked moving some hair out of his face. "I had a nightmare last night" He answered honestly. "Why didn't you wake me?" I asked. "I tried… You were dead asleep" Jack said and directed his eyes away from me.

That would explain why Jack was so close to me when I woke up. I felt bad...scratched that. I felt terrible. "Sorry Jack" I said. "It's fine really" he said and we both were silent. I realized that Jack's arm was still around my waist. I didn't mind too much. Not saying I liked him that way… just that Jack and I are close. He moved his arm and laid on his stomach. "You getting up?" I asked as I sat up. "No" He mumbled into his pillow. "Come on Cracker Jack. Get up." I said and he grunted. "Make me." He said and stayed in the same spot. "You're such a child." I said and couldn't help but laugh.

"I'll sit on you" I fake threatened knowing he wouldn't care. "Then do it" he said and flipped so that he was lying on his back. He looked at me and grinned almost as if to say "You know you won't sit on my stomach when you know at any moment one of my brothers could walk in" kind of playful threat. Right when I sat on Jack's stomach it was just my complete luck that Bobby walked in. "Jack were… Not interrupting am I?" Bobby looked at us with an eyebrow raised. He knew nothing was going on but he wanted to tease us about it anyways.

My face turned red from embarrassment. I got up quickly and went out to take a shower. I could have sworn I heard Jack say "Damn it Bobby." I thought about that for a little bit but I tried not to think of it too much. After I got out of the shower and changed I bumped into jack. I blushed a little thinking about what happened. "I'm sorry about Bobby. He just likes to mess with everyone." Jack explained. "Its Ok." I said trying to avoid eye contact. "We're going to the store where… everything happened with Ma. Did you want to come?" Jack asked. "I shouldn't… I mean this is your family's business…" I stopped when Jack took my hands in his.

"Will you please come with us?" He asked and I saw the seriousness in his eyes. I couldn't just say no to Jack. He obviously needed me and that was the reason I came to Detroit in the first place. I nodded. "Yeah, I'll go." I said and he smiled. "Thanks" he responded and I hugged him. "Can we talk a minute?" Jack asked and I nodded. We went into his room and he shut the door. "I really am sorry about the whole Bobby thing" Jack said. "Jack its alright really." I said and looked at the ground. "Rayanne I can tell when you're uncomfortable about something. You don't look me in the eye." He said and chuckled a bit. I looked up at him and saw the smile on his face. I couldn't help but give a little smile. "It was just..." "Awkward?" Jack finished for me and we both laughed. "Yeah just a little bit." I said and our laughing began to cease. The silence was completely awkward. "Jack! Lets Go!" Bobby called from downstairs.

I leaned on Bobby's car next to Jack as we waited for Jerry to show up. I regretted leaving my other Jacket at the Mercer's. The current jacket I was wearing was thinner and definitely didn't keep me very warm. "Cold?" Jack teased. "No, I'm warm" I said sarcastically and he laughed softly. "Ok, well I was just going to offer to warm you but if you're already warm…" Jack continued to tease. "Don't be such an ass." I said and hugged him around his middle as he laughed and wrapped his arms around me. Bobby looked at us but he kept a serious face and looked away just a fast as he looked at us.

Jerry came and I tried to tune out what Angel was saying. It truly was none of my business and I felt completely out of place. We all saw the store owner and walked over to him. "Can I help you?" The store owner asked. "Yeah, if we could have a moment of your time sir. Evelyn Mercer was our mother." Jack said so calmly it amazed me. "Ah Yes. She was a good lady. Please, please come inside." He beckoned as he unlocked the door. I stayed towards the back with Jack. I didn't want to be here anymore. This wasn't any of my business. I knew I needed to do this for Jack. He has been my best friend for a long time but still... This was about their family.

Jack couldn't stand still. I looked at him and saw that tears were starting to form in his eyes. I put my hand on his upper arm but he never took his eyes off the screen. I looked back and saw that two men were pointing their guns at her. She was saying something to them but I wasn't sure what. Just as the gun shots went off I shut my eyes tightly. I turned my head away from the screen. It felt like I was watching a horrible horror film. The only difference was that it was real and that made me sick.

I saw Jack with his back turned to the screen and tears falling from his eyes. I touched his arm and he pulled away starting to pace the back of the shop. Jack could be complicated at times. If he wanted to be alone he would pull away from you. If he wanted to be comforted and didn't want to be alone he would let you know. "Jackie..." I said softly. He stopped and looked at me. I felt a tear fall down and make a moist line down to my jaw. I walked to him and put my hand on his cheek. When he didn't pull away I wiped the tear. Jack turned his head and listened to the storeowner talk about a witness to Bobby and Angel. I reached for Jack's hand and he looked at me when he felt our hands touch. I gave a small smile and he held onto my hand. I gave him a soft squeeze and I watched as he calmed down more.

I saw Bobby with a stern and serious face as he turned and looked at me. I didn't know how he could keep straight and not let all his emotions take over. I guess he was just really good at keeping it in. To him it was business first and mourn later. "It was no gang shooting, it was an execution. They set mom up. They set her up!" Bobby said angrily and i continued to follow. "Come on" Bobby said. Jack put his hand out for me and I took it as we ran along with Bobby, Angel, and Jerry. Inside the gym there was a lot of people that were watching the game. My nerves began to build up on me as I didn't know what to expect what was going to happen.

I completely zoned out as i looked at everyone watching the basketball game intently. "We're going to get killed" Jack said and i looked at him quickly. I smacked his arm and he gave me a look like "What?". "What do you mean 'we' White boy?" Angel remarked and i watched as Bobby and Angel went off in different directions. "What is he doing?" I asked shocked as I saw him go into the middle of the court. I looked at Jack as he just watched Bobby. "Here we go" He said and I watched Bobby. I watched in shock and my eyes widened as Bobby hit one of the players with the basketball and then pulled out a gun when they started to gang up on him.

I continued to listen to Bobby until I noticed Jack saw something. "What is it?" I asked. "Come on." Jack said and I followed him. I followed Jack to doors that led to a hallway. "Hey! Hey Kid!" Jack yelled and I watched him run after him. I saw Jack grab him and I walked down to meet him and Angel. "Better go tell Bobby." Jack said and I nodded. I watched as Angel dealt with the guy. "What's you're name?" Angel asked. The kid sighed and replied "Keenon" I then realized that Bobby and Angel were the strong links. Bobby, Jerry, and Jack came through the doors and came towards Keenon.

"Go wait by the car" Bobby said as he walked by me and I knew he was talking about me. I looked at Jack and he just gave me a nod. I sighed and reluctantly went to wait at Bobby's car. Don't get me wrong i did want to get out of all of this, but I didn't know Detroit or anyone in Detroit except for the Mercers for that matter. I leaned on the car and watched as some people eyed me as they walked by. I began to feel more uncomfortable by the minute. The Mercers headed towards me and we all crammed into the car. Angel in the front, Bobby driving, and me in between Jack and Jerry in the back.

We drove to some guys apartment and waited for him to show up. I rested my head on Jack's shoulder as he stared out the window. "Alright well, you do what you got to do. I have gymnastics." Jerry said. Bobby, Angel, and Jack started to laugh a bit. "You got your leotard on Jerry?" Bobby joked. "Go to hell man you know what i mean. The girls have gymnastics now let me out." Jerry said. "Want to take Cracker Jack with you? I heard he's very flexible." Bobby continued to joke. "You're the one who took ballet Bobby." Jack retaliated. I laughed a bit as I moved over.

I zoned out as I started thinking things over. I knew I was going to get completely fired from my job for this. I didn't even tell my boss i was leaving. I also needed to call Ashley. She is going to kill me. Jack broke me out of my thoughts when he started yelling. "That's him!" I jumped because he scared me a bit and I followed them out. "You should stay here." Jack said. "No way! I don't trust Detroit right now seeing as in I don't know it." I disagreed.

We ran into the building trying to catch up with who we thought was Damion. "Hey! You Damion?!" Bobby yelled with a gun pulled out. Of course the guy bolted. Who wouldn't when someone is coming after you and with a gun! "Real nice Bobby. Real smooth." I said sarcastically. "Jack, Ray, stay here tell me where it stops." Bobby said. I watched as Bobby and Angel took off up the stairs. "Four...Five...Six..." Jack counted. "Six...It stopped" Jack said and rushed to the same way Bobby and Angel ran. "Six! He stopped at Six!" Jack shouted and then looked at me.

I knew that Jack and his family wanted revenge but I didn't know if I could handle this side of Jack.
