I wake up and someone is pointing a gun in my face, I look up and see Troy. I get up walking over to the rest of the group while Carter talks

"Morning sleeping beauty" Hernandez laughed

I push her shoulder giggling

"Whatever, I had a long day. What did you expect?" I ask

"For you to wake up before me, this guy has been blabbering on and on and on for ages. I-"

"Girls!" Carter yells

Our heads snap in his direction

"It's rude to talk while someone else is talking" he says walking over to us

"And it's also rude to kidnap people you don't know, it's also rude to point your finger in someone's face, and to spit in their face like this" I say spitting in Carters mustache

Carter picks me up by my collar and Uncle Daryl tries to step in, but with all the guns pointed his way he can't help.

"What's wrong, cat got your tongue?" I ask

"I told you, we're just alike" He whispered so only I could hear

He knew those words killed me inside more than any physical pain can cause because when my face fell he dropped me.

"And as for you.." He said standing over Hernandez

"Slap her Troy" he commanded

"With pleasure" Troy smiled

I move Hernandez out of the way and I take the hard, stinging, burning slap across my face

"Jasmine!" Everyone yelled

"I'm fine" I say standing up

Everyone looked at me like I was crazy

"That's a tough ass little girl" Mike said breaking the silence

"Jasmine are you okay?" Hernandez asked

"Why did you do that!?" She yelled shaking me

"Because no one hurts my friends when I have the chance to help them" I tell her

"You're so dumb!" She cried hugging me

"Why ain't she crying? That was a fucking knock out. A grown man would've cried" A woman guard said shocked

"Take them to their jobs" Carter said angrily

I loved seeing him angry, but his words lingered in the back of my mind and somehow I know he knew that.
