excuse mistakes
we were now inside playing a game. Everything was cool until Chris started making unnecessary comments.
"Yo man, if you got something to say just say it" Spencer said as he stood up
"You ain't got no business wearing that Crenshaw ring no more. You don't belong here. Ever since you felt like you had to leave to succeed. You should have just stayed gone. We got a upgrade anyway. Ain't that right cam" Chris said and cam stood up behind him. Cam triggers me so I stood up behind Spencer
"Oh so it's like that now Liyah?" Chris questioned
"Been like that. Nobody fucks with the James family and you know that. I love you Chris, I do, but James family will always be at #1" i stated
"You know honestly, I doubt cam can even touch Spencer on the field. Pretty sure we got the upgrade." Jordan commented standing up
"We'll, uh, see y'all in the playoffs. Oh, wait, thats right. Beverly Hills hasn't been to the playoffs in years." Chris said laughing
"Oh, they will this year. They got me." Spencer expressed confidently
"Why wait? Our boys can be here in 45. Why don't you grab your squad, let's settle this right now." Jordan said
"I'll tell you what, yall win, you can take this Crenshaw ring off my finger, for good" Spencer stated
we walked to the field and snuck in. Spencer gave me his ring to hold til he was done. After awhile Mama Grace walked in. The game got tied then security came in. Everyone left.
Spencer and i rode with Jordan since liv had my car. i was chillin in the back seat listening to music through my airpods til i saw red & blue lights behind Jordan's car. i immediately stopped my music and got scared.
"Spencer. Spencer. Spencer" i kept repeating his name struggling to breathe. i was having a panic attack.
"Liyah calm down. Just keep your head low and they shouldn't notice you if Jordan plays this out right" Spencer said trying to calm me down as one of the cops approached Jordan's side.
"Is there a problem, officer?" Jordan asked
"License and registration, please?" The cop asked politely
"Why? I wasn't speeding or anything." Jordan said.
Is he trying to get us killed? i thought
"You made a illegal turn at a red light. License and registration" the cop repeated starting to get frustrated. I learned cops have a short temper and patience when it came to black people
"What? How far back? What turn?" Jordan asked again pissing the cop off more
"What are you doing man?" Spencer questioned Jordan
"Just give him what he asked for Jordan" i told Jordan in a high pitched voice so the cops wouldn't recognize me. The other cop approached Spencer's side. Jordan handed him his wallet
"What are y'all doing in this neighborhood?" The officer asked
"Are you serious right now? We've done nothing wrong, man." Jordan stated
"Jordan" you and Spencer both warned Jordan
"This is harassment" Jordan said looking at the both of us. When he said that, i already knew it was over for us, especially me.
"Ok, my mom is a lawyer"
"Step out of the car, please" the cop said towards Jordan
"What?" Jordan questioned the officer. Yep this is where I die huh?
"I need you to stop resisting and get out of the car now!" The cop demanded. Spencer eyes met my chest noticing Jordan wasnt helping my panic attack. At this point i was crying
"I know my rights, okay?" Jordan stated
"Stand to the side, please" the officer said
"I cannot believe this. Just wait until my mom gets a hold of you, big man. I'm gonna call my mom-" Jordan's sentence got cut off when the officer slammed him on the car hood causing me to jump which made the other officer point a gun at my head.
"You do what I tell you to do. I don't give a damn who your mom is." The cop talked through his teeth
"Officer, Sir. Officer" as Spencer was saying calmly and slowly, the cop brought Jordan to the side walk and slammed him on the ground.
"Both of you. Get out of the car!" The cop said to me and Spencer
"I'm showing you my hands, All right? I'm unarmed. Hey, look, restraining him ain't necessary, ok" Spencer said getting out of the car then he got slammed on the ground. i had to wait on Spencer so you could get out. i slowly started to get out, revealing my face, with my hands in the air. The cop violently dragged me out the car, grabbed my hair, and pushed me to the ground. By this time i knew they saw who i was. Instead of getting treated like Jordan and Spencer, the cop put both of his knees on my back while pulling back my legs as i cried.
"Well if it isn't Jaaliyah Moore. Isn't this your 5th arrest?" The other cop asked putting Spencer by Jordan
"No it's my 5th time being put in custody you dumb ass." i corrected him and that got me kicked in the stomach by the cop who was kneeling on me making me vomit blood.
"If you fuck up my shoes this won't be the last time you see me" i said and the officer punched me in the face then pointing the gun at my face again. Spencer saw that Jordan was scared out of his mind for y'all but specifically you.
"Hey, Just keep looking at me, All right? She's gonna be okay. She's strong" Spencer said to Jordan trying to calm him down but Spencer was scared out of his mind for jaaliyah. Then they saw the officer hit me in my face with his gun.
"Damn, you colorless roach, if you're gonna kill me hurry up and do it!" i said laughing and crying at the same time.
📍bakers house
The Baker parents had came and picked us up. i was beaten up so bad that i could barely walk. we walked in. Spencer was holding me
^Example on how Spencer was carrying/holding jaaliyah.
"I have officer trishells badge number already. I want to speak to his supervising officer. Well he can talk to me now or he can face me in the morning when I file a lawsuit for his entire department!" Laura said walking into her office area. This was the first time i saw mama Baker mad but it was understandable for how I look and how we were treated.
"Are you guys ok?" Olivia asked while she hugged Jordan. She hadn't seen me yet, i could tell. Once Jordan pulled away from the hug she saw my beaten up legs and ran to me and Spencer. She gave Spencer a side hug then tried to give me a hug but Spencer stopped her.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you. Can you get her some alcohol for her wounds?" Spencer asked Olivia and she quickly ran to the kitchen cabinet under the sink and got a bottle. Spencer then placed me on the couch with a towel underneath you.
"Okay Liyah this is gonna hurt but we have to put it on ALL your wounds" Spencer said
"Just do it." i talked through my teeth cause the pain was horrible. Spencer poured it on your legs and my screams echoed through the house. Usually i wouldn't scream but the wounds were so deep to the point you could see a little bit of my bone
"Okay imma let you catch your breath then I need you to turn on your side and lift up your shirt" Spencer said helping you on your side. i lifted up my shirt carefully revealing bruises and a huge scar. Spencer counted down then poured the alcohol on your stomach wounds. my screams echoed through the house again but it sounded more painful. Once i stopped screaming, i built up the strength to sit up and do a group hug with Olivia and Spencer.
"Can I ask you something?" Spencer asked
"Technically you just asked me something but mhm, anything." i joked as Spencer rolled his eyes. Even in the darkest moments i had to crack jokes.
"Do you ever get tired of being who you are?" Spencer asked
"Spencer!" Olivia semi-yelled as she slapped his chest
"It's okay, Liv, it was a honest question. I mean it just depends on the type of day. I've been through so much and not even at the half way mark." You sighed. All of a sudden i started feeling dizzy.
"Spence it's happening again." You warned him
"What's happening?" He asked
"Never land" i said then passed out. me and Spencer had a code word so he knew exactly what was happening. Olivia was scared out of her mind
"Spencer what just happened and what does "never land" mean?!" Olivia asked worried and Spencer sighed
"She was being called home. Right now as we speak she's speaking to someone in heaven (or your head)"
"So she's....dead?" Olivia said with tears in her eyes then Spencer hugged her.
"Not for long. It's a temporary thing, she'll be back within 15 minutes. In the meantime we need to get her to her room" Spencer said. He picked up my body, took me to my room, then left back downstairs. Olivia was sitting by mybody waiting.
In you head/ or heaven
"Ka'liyah?" i walked to the figure in tears
"Hey don't cry. I'm ok, I'm at peace." Ka'liyah said wiping your tears
"But im not. I miss you so much. It's so hard not having my other half with me, I feel broken" i said tightly hugging her not wanting to let go. for some strange reason this didn't feel like her but i shrugged it off.
"I know, luv. I'm always with you. Also tell Spencer I said stop being so damn hard headed and just connect with his football team. Then slap him on the back of his head for me." She stated making me laugh then we pulled away from the hug.
"I'm so sorry you had to go through that cop situation Liyah." Ka'liyah sighed.
"It's okay, it's not the first nor the second time. It comes with the last name I guess." i said looking up blinking away your tears.
"Sadly it does. I gotta send you back now. It's been about 30 minutes in the real world and your girlfriend Olivia is out of her mind worrying about you" Ka'liyah said
"She's not my girlfriend, I'm dating Shawn and you know that" i pointed at her
"I'm aware. You need to pick eventually. You like Spencer, Shawn, Olivia, and Jordan. Figure it out. You might be dating Shawn and you love him but you need to figure out what's really best. Bye Liyah" she said giving me a kiss on my cheek as tears rolled down my face.
Back to reality
i gasped for air and opened your eyes. Everyone was in my room. Jordan, Spencer, and Billy already had the discussion about being a black person in America
"Uhm what the fuck is this..." i said as Jordan helped me sit up.
"We were worried about you. It's been damn near a hour" Billy said
"Oh. It didn't feel like that. Also Spencer she told me to tell you that she said and I quote "stop being so damn hard headed and connect with your football team" then I need you to come sit by me real quick." i said and he came over and sat down. i smacked the back of his head hard
"Jaaliyah what the hell?" Mama Baker exclaimed but me and Spencer laughed.
"Now Ka'liyah didn't have to send you back with a slap against my head" Spencer laughed.
"Whos Ka'liyah?" Olivia asked confused
