A/N: LMAO….Come on guys y'all know that book is everything. I'm in tears! Quick story this is how I came to know of that book, I was on twitter and something said scroll down I follow Amber [perfect timing because I just started following her like last week she couldn't have RT that video at the more perfect time] I see this video I watched it I was done by the first sentence I favorited that tweet I go back to watch the person who uploaded the video took it down I was pissed until I went on YouTube and searched for it there it was I said to myself, self, myself said "hmm", I said we're going to use that story in a chapter. [I think Rihanna put it best how about a round of applause a standing ovation, yeah] In other humor news I was on DYAC May 4th and I skipped a bunch of texts my humor box was off because none were funny to me at that time and right before me at the top was a text with yours and mine favorite word so much so that I used the snipping tool, saved, and posted it to my twitter, "ORGANISIM". No lie! If you care to really see if I did that you can check my twitter. So anyway enough about that wow…just wow that cliffhanger. That's all I'm going to say.
Happy Reading Guys (: mini update
Mercedes POV
It was eleven o'clock when I got up to go used the bathroom and it as 2 minutes later that I exited I took one step when I heard 2 gunshots. I dropped to the floor and I pulled TJ off the bed. I sat there on the floor waiting for either JJ or Stevie to come running up the stairs to tell me that everything was okay but neither came so I went in search of them.
"TJ…stay right here. I'm going to go see if everything is okay."
"Okay." I ran out the room and headed downstairs I looked out the window and I saw Puck standing over JJ. I went to the door and opened it.
"Puck! Why is JJ lying on the ground?! Tell me my brother didn't get shot! Tell me!" I ran down the steps and Puck was trying to keep me away from JJ I pushed him to the side and fell to my knees.
"JJ…bro come on. Stop playing with me. GET UP! GET UP!" I started smacking him in his face. "Say this is a sick prank. JJ get up! This isn't funny! GET UP! GET UP!"
"M-Mommy…"
"TJ go back inside."
"But.."
"BACK INSIDE NOW TJ! JJ WAKE UP! GET UP! GET UP! LORD JESUS PLEASE DON'T SAY THAT HE KILLED MY BROTHER?! JJ!"
"TJ go back in the house!" I yelled. "Go! GET UNCLE STEVIE!"
Stevie's POV
"I WANT MY DADDY!" I heard TJ scream waking me out my sleep I hauled ass out of the game room and slid into the living room.
"What happened?! TJ! What happened?! Why are you screaming?!"
"Uncle JJ got shot." He just pointed to the back door and I heard Mercedes crying.
"Geez! Not again!" I ran outside and my heart sank JJ was lying there not moving she was leaning over him crying.
"JJ-JJ say something…..JJ bro say something. Don't…don't leave me. You can't leave. Y-You c-can't leave me."
"Ah…." He said.
She jumped back. "JJ?!"
"Ow…." He tried to sit up but Puck and I laid him back on the grass.
"Where are you hit at?"
"I think I got hit in my chest." Puck lifted his shirt and he was wearing a bullet-proof vest. "Ow." Big sigh of relief.
"Did you see who did this to you JJ?"
"No, they both had on masks."
"I'm calling 911." Puck said pulling out his phone he dialed them and gave them everything they asked and in 5 minutes police and paramedics were pulling up the house.
"What happened?" One the paramedics ask JJ as they start working on him.
"I was out here w-walking around just making s-sure everything was good and I c-came across two guys both had on mask and I asked them what they were doing and they pulled out a gun and shot me in my chest. I fell and I don't know what happened after that."
"Okay…thank God you had on a vest because had you not you wouldn't have been alive." They moved him to the stretcher and I started following because I was going to ride with him to the hospital.
"Stevie, no stay here with Mercedes and TJ I'm good."
"But…"
"No, they need you more than I do. I'll call when I get the chance alright." He lifted his hand I gave him dap and watched as they put him in the ambulance and drove away. I went inside the house and Mercedes cradling TJ as the detective was talking to her.
"So, do you have an idea of who is behind this?"
"Yeah, m-my ex-boyfriend Tank."
"What makes you think that it was him?"
"Look, I just know it's him I don't have to think about anything. It's him. I know it's him. Is that all of your questions because I have to get my son to bed?"
"Yes, Mrs. Evans. If you have any questions or concerns relating to this call me." He reached in his pocket and held out his business card I took.
"Thank you."
"I do have one question not for you Officer Morrison." The detective looked back at the officer and turned to leave.
"How you know him?"
"He was the one to notify us of you being shot Stevie. Officer Morrison, I filed paperwork for a TRO and my husband got the call that his person was served but I have yet to receive mine. Is there a way you can check to see if he was served?"
"Sure, what's his name?"
"Reginald Mason but his nickname is Tank."
"I'll call it into check." He let out to make the call.
"Do you want me to take TJ upstairs?"
"No, he's fine." She pulled back looking motherly at TJ gently placing a kiss on his cheek. "Every time Sam goes away something happens and this hasn't even been a first day only a few hours and this." Tears begin to fall and she quickly wiped them away. "Everything is fine when he's here, he leaves things start crumbling."
"Um…Mrs. Evans it appears to me he's been served."
She sighed. "That's good but who did this."
"That I don't know but I'll be sure to keep my ears alert for anything I hear and I'll tell you okay. Y'all be safe now."
"We'll try officer." I followed him to the door and Puck was talking to the detective.
"I had just pulled up and everything out front was fine and I get out of my car and I hear 2 gunshots I come running back here and I see him lying where was at and two guys running in that direction." I pointed over to some bushes that lead to the main street.
"Did you get a good look at them?"
"No, all I saw where the backsides and them running."
"Okay. If you hear anything at all don't hesitate to give me a call." He handed Puck his card as well and went to his car and he drove off and Puck ripped it up.
"I'm not calling them. I'm handling this shit myself. Is Mercedes and TJ still downstairs or have they gone upstairs?"
I turned around and I saw her going up the stairs. "No, she's gone back upstairs."
"Okay. I'm going to check the grounds you stay here. I'm not trying to have a repeat of what happened the last time."
I stayed in the door watching Puck disappear into the night I wanted to join him but he was right I was just in there a few days back and now here's someone else going in there but JJ stay won't be long. All I know is that at this moment, no one is safe.
Sam's POV
I can't sleep. I was sleepy when I got here but I can't sleep. I'm antsy like there is something off I keep checking my phone to see if Mercedes sent me a text I just go this feeling she's waiting for me to call. I picked up my phone and 1 hit the number one and call.
"Sam…what are you still doing up at this hour?"
"I can't sleep I feel as though something is wrong and I needed to call home. Is everything okay?"
"Yes…"
"No it's not I hear the fear your voice. What happened?" I sat up in the bed she stayed silent for 5 minutes. "Mercedes, baby tell me."
"JJ g-got…s-shot." She whispered.
"What?! NO! NO! I'm coming home now."
"No, Sam…everything is fine."
"No, it's not. I'll be home in the hour."
"Sam we're good P-Puck is here and you left not too long ago and I don't want to have to watch you pull out the driveway again it hurts too much."
"Well if you don't want me to come home FaceTime me." Pulled my phone from my ear and selected FaceTime and waited for her to appear.
"H-Hey."
"Hey." I stayed silent just taking in all of her features I wish she was beside me the saddest look was in her eyes just wanted to all her fears and worries to just be washed away. "Are you sure you don't want me to come home because I will, I'll push the pedal to the metal and get there fast as I can?"
"I'm sure besides I have to get used to you not being able to return home like that you're going to be traveling and be in different states some weeks."
"You're right. I still want to come home. How's your brother? How's TJ? Did you call your parents?"
She moved the phone showing TJ asleep in my oversized shirt. "Daddy's son knocked out." She put the phone back on her.
"My brother is fine he was shot twice but he was wearing a bulletproof vest the EMT said to him had he not had he not had it on he wouldn't be here. No I didn't call my parents it's like déjà vu."
"Thank God. So, is he at the hospital or home?"
"They're keeping him overnight and they'll release him tomorrow just want to check him to be safe."
"Good. Good. Where's Puck and Stevie?"
"Puck is up I don't think he's going to sleep tonight I was looking to see him today but he showed up at the eleven o'clock hour. Sam…I'm sleepy."
"Well go to sleep then. I'll put my phone on the stand and I'll watch you sleep."
She yawned. "But don't you have to get some sleep too."
"I do but I'll get my sleep in just put the phone on my side of the bed and position it and move TJ closer to you so I can watch the both of y'all." She got off the bed and did as I asked and got back in bed.
"Can you see?"
"Yeah, I can see. Now go to sleep." She pulled TJ close to her and within a few minutes she drifted to sleep. I dozed off a couple of times myself waking up to see them still there sleeping peacefully I would do that every so often and finally I just dozed off.
TJ's POV
I opened my eyes and I saw daddy on mommy's phone he was sleeping with my bear Mr. Mustache and he had something balled up in his hand.
"Daddy…Daddy!"
"What…morning TJ." He yawned rubbing his eye. "What are you doing up this early?"
"I got to pee-pee."
"Okay go pee-pee, put down the toilet seat, wash your hands and come back so you and I can talk."
"Okay." I hopped of the bed, peed, put down the toilet seat, washed my hands and come back. "Done."
"That was quick. Let me see your hands." I put them to the phone and daddy sniffed. "Okay you cleaned them. How did you sleep?"
"Not good. Uncle JJ got shot last night."
"I heard but he's fine he's going to be okay and he should be home later today. Mommy told me that you found one of the treasures I hid for you."
"Yup! I did!"
"What was it?! I want to know!"
I lifted the pillow and pulled out the picture of Conniehey. "Conniehey!" I singsong.
"Oh you found the dog! That's a good find."
"Yeah, I want a dog just like this. I already named him."
"What you named him?"
"Conniehey just like the dog mommy made you give away because he ate her hair but she's all natural now so her hair should be good." I patted mommy's scarf.
"Yes, TJ it should be good now. No dog will be eating mommy's weird strange Indian hair. I miss you."
Mercedes POV
I thought for sure that when I woke up that the FaceTime would have disconnected but it stayed connected all night. I've been pulling a TJ listening in on his convo with Sam.
"I miss you too daddy it was scary last night I heard the gunshots and mommy was crying, uncle Stevie was crying, I was crying because I wanted you and mommy wanted you too she said bad things always happen when you go away."
"They do?"
"Well not always when the bad things happen when you're here they don't last long."
"Let's change the topic I don't want you thinking about bad things anymore, let's think about the fun back to your scavenger hunt did you get to watch a video last night?"
"I did! That was good but mommy wouldn't let me listen to it all."
"Why not? What was wrong with it?"
"She said it wasn't a good story for me to listen to."
"Well that's not a good reason. Personally I liked the book."
"You would like it." I said finally talking.
"Morning sweetness. Why didn't you like that book? What was wrong with it?"
"Morning…everything." I sat up and turned positioned myself towards the phone. "Balls, sack, hairy. Why did Stevie pick that book? Better yet why did you even read that book?"
"It's just a book about balls baby."
"Blue balls?"
"Yeah, what's blue balls daddy? Is it like my blue basketball? Are my balls blue? How can you get blue balls?"
"No…TJ not like that. Y-yeah that was a bad book. Sorry."
"It's okay baby. Shouldn't you be getting up I know you have to get an early start on today."
"Yeah I do. You want to do this later on tonight FaceTime and you can watch me sleep and I can watch the both of y'all sleep?"
"Yeah, we can."
"Cool. Well y'all have a good day don't think bad things TJ and I'll be sending you text throughout the day. I love you baby. I love you TJ."
"I love you daddy."
"I love you too baby." I ended the FaceTime. "
Tank's POV
"So, you shot him? You sure about that?"
"Yeah, 2 right in the chest. Bam! Bam!" Kid did the sound effects. I looked at my chest and pushed him away.
"Good. X mark the spot. Hopefully y'all killed him because the other guy is still living. Did anyone see y'all?" I asked him
"Nah, we had our face covered although this white-bald headed guy showed up but he didn't see us."
"Can you tell us why you want to get your son so bad? I mean you never really cared for him before. Why now?"
"See…why you want to know all of that. I just want my son back that's it besides if I get him, she has to come back to me. I told her she can leave but leave TJ here with me because that means that you're returning if you take TJ you not coming back to me. I woke up one morning her ass was gone and he was gone I knew from the jump that she wasn't coming back so my mother thought of this idea to kidnap TJ but that plan isn't going go forward because Vito snitched on her so I had to come up with a new plan. Harass the mess out of her for her to return."
"So, if she left you, why didn't you just call the cops to tell her them that your son was kidnap?"
"I didn't sign the birth certificate, besides the kid isn't even named after me. I don't really give a damn about him. I just got her pregnant so she could stay because she was going to leave me so I got her pregnant for a purpose. Look, here is y'all money we never met, you don't know me, if we see each other on the street no eye contact." I opened the door and watch them leave. "Cool and burn all of that shit y'all got on! And if you snitch on me I'm going to come find you and kill you." I closed the door behind me.
A/N: He's back...for now. (: See you in a few hours.
