Tae's POV
***********************************
As much as mia is hiding how she feels I can sense that the situation took a toll on her mental state the sound of anything she flinches makes me wonder if it's only because of the situation or she already had PTSD from something deeper
She refuses to leave my side whenever I move she looks at me and ask where I'm going she thinks I'm going to leave her
She's going back to school monday even though her uncle and I discussed that maybe she should go back to therapy
I met her uncle yesterday when we went to her house for clothes he showed up and we talked he knew that she was missing he payed off the other polices that was involved in the case
It's basically a cover up so we don't have to worry about word getting out about the whole situation so nobody knows anything except me her, and her best friend other than the cops plus the rest dead
Im currently in the car going to pick mia up from her meeting at her school
I sigh stopping at a red light I look around as I wait rocking my legs I take a puff out my vape
I really can't bother to roll up right now I just want to pick mia up and finish what I have to do today
As the light changes to green I drove off headed onto constant spring road I cruise listening masicka I wish puffin my vape
Turning into her school the security stops me I hiss
Really no wah inna no chattings right now eno
I roll down my window looking straight ahead waiting for him to talk my gun is under my lap but to how I rolled down the window so he can see
"Afternoon what's your business here,?" He asks trying to look into the car
"Here to pick up someone," I say keeping it short
"Alright you'll have to take a visitor's pass," he says walking away into a small booth coming out with a paper
I take it thanking him I drove off puffin my vape again
Texting mia that I'm here I got two tick but it wasn't blue she's not online and it's a meeting I can't call her either
I sigh reclining the seat I turn up the AC and change the song I scroll through Instagram I realized I got a request
**Pretty_.Brit just followed you
Accepting the request a message comes in same time
**Pretty_.Brit would like to send you a message
Going into my request I tapped on the message
**I'm back in ja link up? 👀**
A coulda who this now? Going onto the profile it hit me it's her scrolling through her pictures my heart contracted I felt nervous
**His prettiest problem 🥂😩**
**Pretty in pink 👾🍭**
** Focus less on the caption and more on me 😌**
** Pretty girl, clean heart, unbothered life it's a vibe 😉**
I click off her page hissing my teeth face like an angel but heart of the devil how did she find my page
I sigh not right now I can't have this on my mind now I already have mia and I'm happy
Right?
No I shouldn't be second guessing even if I was single she can't come back into my life not ever
If she even dare come around me I kill her myself I can't believe I was in love with her
I used to be so weak to her and she went and did that to me out of all persons she betrayed me big time
I can never forgive her if she knows what's best she'd avoid me
Another message comes in distracting me from my thoughts
**Please I just want to talk 😔 if you're interested meet me at our old spot tomorrow at 12pm**
Reading the message my heart skipped a beat and I felt a wave of excitement wash through me
What why do I still feel this way?
"She was your first love bro we know how that goes," my subconscious says
I know but after 2 years I would think I'm over her over what we use to be how much we loved each other well how much I loved her
Cause if she loved me she wouldn't have done what she did and to believe she lied even when I caught her wow
I hiss my teeth I see people coming out the school I rolled down my window
"Excuse me," I say to the female she stops
Looking up I saw mia with two others girls walking towards us
"Nevermind," I say to her as she smiles walking away
Mia sees the female walking away I rolled back up the window her expression changes for a spilt second but goes back to normal as her friend says something to her they laugh
What's so funny?
And what was that expression just now wait damn she's overthinking it isn't she
And to image we just getting pass this well look now
This is all too much british coming back mia and her moods my dad wanting me to visit him in prison for God knows what
If he thinks I'm going to take over the position of the Don from marcus I will not follow his footsteps look where he is now mmctt
Mia opens the door putting her bag on the seat she closes the door
Where she going?
Coming out the car I walked to where she was with her friends oh I remember her that's rick girlfriend
"Mia," I say stopping behind her she turns around looking at me
"Yes tae," she says waiting for me to speak
Ok attitude she knows how I feel about that shit and she's...
"You not coming,?" I ask her looking directly in her eyes
I'm trying to remain calm we talked about this before this morning I'd come pick her up then visit my sperm donor in jail and go to the warehouse after then go to the bank to collect the skull payment
So I don't know why she acting like this now I'm already irritated by the messages earlier I don't want to yell or get angry at her
"Remember what we talked about this morning,?" I ask calmly the opposite of how I'm feeling rn
"Ummm yeah," she says like it's the most easiest thing
I feel my anger rising I sigh closing my eyes I walk towards the car getting in I lean back closing my eyes again
If I didn't walk away just now I'd probably say something I'd regret I turn on the phone playing chronic law walk wid faith
I take up the vape and puff I sigh putting it down need something stronger shit shoulda bring weed eno
I hiss my teeth feeling even more irritated
Mia POV
**********************************
Walking out with sam and steph I spotted the talking to a female wow and she's smiling tf
I look at them for a brief moment then laugh as steph says something I looked up again to notice she's gone and the window is rolled up again
Oh... ok
"Girl memba we ago plaza," Sam says
Oh shoot yeah...
"Oh that was today," I say holding my head
"Don't tell mi yuh figet afta we seh we ago plaza afta meeting," steph says as sam agrees
"I don't think I can tae is waiting for me," I say to them pointing at the car
"Girl you've been off since you've came back from mobay," sam says
I couldn't tell them what had happened so I said tae took me on a vacation
"I know but he has stuff to do and he's making time to pick me up still," I say
"Oh," sam says rolling her eyes
"A wah,?" I ask her
"Nothing," she says looking down
Well it's definitely something if she a behave so...
"Talk nuh," I say to her
"It's just that yuh no spend time wid we nomore is like tae a di only thing pon yuh mind," she says looking up
Why would she think that... she's my best friend both of them I would never trade her or steph for nobody
Eva!
"I know I haven't been around lately and I'm sorry but don't ever think I would replace you guys with anybody you guys are my best friends we've been together since prep school I didn't switch when we got to highschool why would I start now I love you guys," I say as they smile
"Aww,"they said in unison hugging me
We hugged for a long time I told them I'd be back I walked to the car opening the door I placed my bag on the seat closing the door
A minute later I heard my name and felt a presence behind me
He smells like blueberry....
I turn around looking at him
"Yes tae," I asked as he looked me into my eyes I felt nervous was I in trouble?
"You not coming,?" He asks closing his eyes before I could respond he asks me
" Remember what we talked about this morning,?" He asks as his jaw ticks something he does when he's irritated
Oh ok....
"Ummm yeah," I say.as he looks at me and said nothing but walked away
Well ok he's mad about something
Turning towards my friends I told them we'll have to reschedule for another time they agree we exchanged byes before I walked to the car getting in I was greeted with chronic law's voice
Well it's obvious how he's feeling taking up my bag I placed it on the back seat I saw him leaning back with his eyes closed he hasn't even moved since I came in the car
Is he that mad?
Deciding to ask what's wrong I tapped his shoulder he opens his eyes leaning up he fixes the seat without a word starting the car while staring ahead
Well ok he doesn't want to talk but me being me I'ma see what's the problem
I reach over taking up his phone I paused the song just as the car stops at a red light
He looks at me then back at the road he says nothing but reaches for his phone out my hand
Well ok...
"What's the problem,?" I ask him
"Everything gov mon," he says still reaching for the phone as I move it again he hisses his teeth
But kuya
"So y yah behave so,?" I ask him
"Everything gov yuh deff," he says with an attitude
"Everything cya alright if yah move so,?" I say as he reaches for his phone again
He sighs driving off as the light changes to green he pulls over the car
"Mi seh everything gov," he says turning to me his tone making me feel bad
I say nothing but sigh feeling my eyes water at his tone
"Yo pass mi phone," he says holding out his hand
I say nothing but drop it in his hand he sighs turning back the music chronic law corrupt starts playing
He starts back the car driving off
I stay quiet looking out the window. I hear him mumbling the lyrics to the song
Feeling my eyes water I keep looking out the window I sigh closing my eyes tears roll down my cheeks I sniffle
Why am I crying? Wtf
These past few days I've been crying for no reason it can't be because It's almost that time of the month it already came wtf is wrong with me
I wipe my face as more tears begin to fall
Tae POV
**********************************
Fuck she's crying I sigh to myself look what I've done everything is just so...
I rub my temple the last thing I wanted was to make her cry after everything she's been through because of me
I pull over pausing the music I turned towards her
"Mia," I say she doesn't respond nor look at me
"Mia look at me," I say once more
She sniffles turning around her face is wet so is the sleeve of her shirt
Seeing her teary eyes made my heartache I hate when she cries it just hurts me really bad
"So y you made her cry,?" My subconscious asks rolling his eyes
I don't know I didn't mean to I gotta fix this
" I'm sorry I didn't mean to raise my voice nor make you cry please stop crying," I say to her
She sniffles but doesn't stop she just stares at me I sigh
"Come here," I say reclining the seat
She unbuckles her seatbelt getting up she sits on my lap sideways so I can see her face
"I'm sorry okay today has been really stressful and I'm going through something right now," I say to her as she nods
"I'm not mad at you nor did you cause me to act how I did so don't overthink it," I say continuing
She nods looking at me then looking down
I use my finger to lift her head up
"Don't ever look down your crown is falling," I say to her she chuckles
"That was corny," she says laughing
I chuckle happy that she's no longer pouting I use my hand to wipe her face taking up my handkerchief I wiped her face better
" But fi real b mi neva mean fi mek yuh cry yuh know mi hate wen yuh cry," I say to her
She looks into my eyes smiling a little I grab her waist telling her how sorry I am
Mia POV
**********************************
"It's alright you don't have to apologize so much," I say chuckling
"No actually him fi apologize till him lip drop off," my subconscious says rolling her eyes
Ignoring her I focus on tae's hand which is rubbing my thigh going up
"I'm sorry really sorry," he says once again apologizing
"Alright I forgive you will you stop apologizing now,?" I ask him
"Only if yuh kiss mi," he says smirking
I smile positioning myself so that I'm sitting on his lap facing him I lean in kissing his lip
"A wah kinda kiss dat," he says frowning when I pull away
Using his hand he grabs my throat pulling me closer his lips crash into mine as our mouth found a steady rhythm
The kiss gets steamy as he slips his tongue in my mouth I sigh into the kiss that gives him the opportunity to bite my bottom lip I moan in pain as he kisses me passionately
After a second we pulled away as he smiles at me I smile looking down then back at him
The sound of his phone ringing interrupts our eye contact he sighs
I get off his lap sitting back in my seat he takes up his phone fixing the seat he sighs
"Yeah," he answers with an attitude his face serious
A who him a talk to suh? A who deh pon di phone....
"Whenever mi reach mi reach," he says hissing his teeth
What the person says next triggers something in him he does something he don't normal do around me curse
"Mi no give a fuck bout dat mi seh whenever mi fucking reach mi reach mi will no come eno," he says shouting profanities
Well damn I thought to myself looking down
He hisses his teeth hanging up the phone
He mumbles something to himself sighing after
"You good,?" I ask him his eyes found mine he smiles a little
"Yeah mon," he says starting the car
"Ago drop yuh home and deal wid somethings want anything on the road,?" He asks driving off
"Yeah can we stop at a pharmacy," I say to him he glances at me then focus back on the road
I have to get myself a pregnancy test I know it's stupid but I have to know if I'm pregnant or my cycle changing before the whole situation tae and I had sex without protection I just need to know
It's stupid I shouldn't have made it happen but it did now I might be pregnant at the age of 17... it's not even my birthday yet
"You alright," tae's voice drew me out of my thoughts
I hope so...
"Yeah," I say sighing
Stopping at Pavilion he parked the car
"Want me to come with you,?" He asks me about to get out I shake my head telling him it will just be a second he nods I exit the car walking towards the pharmacy I can feel his stare
Going inside the pharmacy my nose was filled with the smell of medicine and baby
(Ifykyk babies smell good asf)
I walk to the drug section taking to see a girl no younger than 15 taking up a pregnancy test when she saw me she hid it behind her
I sigh taking up two clear blue tests I look at the girl she looks scared wtf....
She has bruises on her face what happened to her
I was about to ask her something but a male voice beat me to it
"Yo yuh no dun yet," it says I turn around to see a grown ass man wtf bruh
She flinches as he walks towards her
My heart ache poor girl
"You get it,?" He asks her stopping Infront the aisle she nods frantically
Walking away I went to the cashier handing her the tests she raises an eyebrow at me
Wtf....
She then begins to mumble about how kids should stay being kids and not act grown
What's her problem
"How old yuh be,?" She asks
"Excuse me,?" I say to her
"Mi seh how old yuh be,?" She says again with alot of attitude
A wah do dah lady yah mon I restrain from rolling my eyes
"I'm seventeen," I say to her not dat it's her business
"See yuh deven eighteen yet," she says looking at me with scorn
No really a wah a har problem?
(No idea how much for a pregnancy test so)
"$750," she says to me
Touching my pocket I realized I left my purse I hiss
"Just excuse me a second I left my purse in the car," before I could walk out tae enters walking up to me
"Here," he says handing me the purse
I thank him taking it paying for the tests
Just then the girl and man from earlier cashes after us walking out
Taking the bag from her I smiled as tae walks behind me coming out I saw the guy from earlier yelling at the girl as she cries
"What's the matter,?" Tae ask me as I point to where they are
"It's probably her father," he says shrugging
"She was in the store buying pregnancy tests she doesn't even look older than 16 ," I say to him
"Oh," he says walking away to the car
Just then the man boxes the girl hard asf it echoes through the plaza people stopping to stare before I could say anything tae was walking towards them
The man raises his hand to hit her again tae pushes him as more people come to look
I walk over to them as tae curses the man out
"Yo fada yuh cya do dat," tae says to the man
"Who is you to tell me how to discipline my pickney," he says to tae
"Mi no care who she be to yuh yuh cya a lick har dem wah deh especially inna public," he says to the man
"Mi do whatever I want she a fimi pickney," he says pushing tae
Jesse Christ man
Tae pushes the man he stumbles backwards two man run up before anything could happen
"Easy no fada," the man says pushing away the man who hit his daughter
"Di ute a talk facts yuh cya deal wid har so," another says as tae fixes his shirt
He's calm too calm I go over to the girl
"Yuh alright," I ask her she cries looking down
Tuning out everyone o focused on the girl she looks up I see her face red asf she's brown so you can see his hand print
Damn
Walking over to the car I took out a bottle of water from the pack tae had in the back seat
Walking back towards her I handed the water to her she hesitates but takes it drinking it
I take her hand seating her down she cries still but not as much as earlier
Seeing her face makes my eyes water
"Yuh can bawl eh gyal no sah," my subconscious taunts
I know right what's wrong with me
"Yuh alright,?" I ask her she breaks down even more I stand up pulling her into a hug she sobs in my chest
She looks so scared I looked in the direction of tae and he's talking to the now calm father who is listening to what he has to say as the other men nod at what he's saying
After a while the girl stops crying
"I saw that you bought a test,?" I say trying to start the conversation
She nods sniffling
"So you think you might be pregnant,?" I ask her she sighs looking down
"I don't want to have a baby," she says
Same sis same but shit happens
"I don't either but sometimes things happen that we can't control we have to just accept it and move on," I say rubbing her back
"Everybody is disappointed in me cause what if I am," she says
"It's ok to disappoint people nobody's perfect and if you are everything will be alright and work out in your favor just pray," I tell her she nods
"Do you mind me asking where's the father,?" I say
"He doesn't want anything to do with me anymore," she says eyes watering again
"It's alright don't cry if you're pregnant you'll be a good mother and everything will be fine it's not your fault this happened don't blame yourself okay," I say to her as she nods
"He left as I told him I might be pregnant he's 19 he said he doesn't want any children right now," she says looking down
"And how old are you,?" I ask her
"I'm 15," she says
A nineteen year old with a fifteen year old wow
That's basically rape wtf
He could get locked up if they found out about that what a risk him a run wid him life
"Does anybody know,?" I asked her she shakes her head
"He told me nobody should know about us," she says frowning
See she was getting groomed
Poor child
"You have a phone,?" I ask her she nods
Taking out her phone we exchanged numbers I told her to tell me how everything goes when she takes the test
"I might be pregnant too," I say to her she looks at me
"How old are you,?" She asks
"Eighteen in two months," I say to her she nods processing the information
"You remind me of my mother," she says after a minute of silence
"Oh where is she,?" I ask her
"She died 2 years ago," she says looking down
"Oh I'm sorry," I say to her she tells me it's ok minutes later tae and the man walk towards us the sight of her father she freezes
"It's ok," I whisper to her
She holds on my hand as they stop Infront us
"I'm sorry," the man says looking sympathetic at his daughter she looks down
"I'm really really sorry for everything for hitting you for not being a good father," he says to her she looks up tears streaming down her face
After the whole situation we went on our way tae dropped me off an hour ago now I'm here just watching TV bored out my mind
Tae's POV
*********************************
Parking I sighed to myself
Do I really want to see this man?
I puff my vape rocking to the chronic law playing
After a minute I turned off the song putting down the vape I pop a winter fresh in my mouth I take the glock from off my waist putting it into my glove department exiting the car I walked across the room to the prison
**Inside**
Sitting here in the visiting area brought back memories from when I was younger
It's been 10 years since my "father" got convicted for multiple murders he got 35 years
A bearded man walked towards me with police around him he sits with a big smile on his face I'm instantly irritated
"Son," he says smiling
"Cut the fuckry weh yuh wah," I say feeling my blood boil looking at him
"So dats how yuh greet yuh fada bwoy sheer neva touch yuh mannas," he says getting serious quickly
I hiss my teeth
"Doh mention mi mada name outta yuh mouth," I say to him
"Easy yuhself ute memba a who yah talk to," he says looking me in my eyes
We're way too alike from the looks to how we act I got his temper now he has a problem with how I talk
I hiss my teeth keeping quiet he chuckles humourless
"Mi call yasso fi mek yuh know seh a time fi tek ova di family business," he says
The mention of tek ova made me look up at him
"Mi nah dweet yuh deff," I say trying to control my temper
"Mi no care mi gi yuh nuff time fi think bout it,!" He shouts at me
"It's not your decision to make," I say matching his tone
"It is actually," he says smiling like he knows something I don't
Getting up I hissed my teeth walking out before I reached the door what he says makes me halt
"How's your girlfriend by the way," his voice booms through the silent room
How him know bout har? Fuck I can't do anything but listen to him now
I won't react how he wants me to no cya mek him realize seh mi fall fi har ago use it against me
I walk back to the table sitting down he has his sinister smile on his face
"Oh so it's true she ave yuh head," he says chuckling but nothing is funny to him nor me
"Weh yuh wah,?" I ask him feeling more irritated than before
"Tek ova di business," he says sitting back
"Yuh know mi nah do dat waamp to marcus him been a run it and nut'n no gwaan why yuh so stuck pon me fi run it," I say to him calmly
"Marcus ano mi son though the empire fi stay inna di family," he says
I sigh fucka ago get him way after all these years
"And wah if mi no wah dweet," I ask him
He smiles like he's been waiting for me to ask this
"If you love your likkle girlfriend you would," he says the mention of mia makes my blood boil
"Leave her outta dis," I say sitting up he laughs like laughs
Wtf is funny?
"I can't when she's my future daughter-in-law," he says smirking
"So yah seh yah do weh mi seh or yuh wah mi end yuh likkle relationship," he says
Fuck.....
"Mi a go think bout it," I say getting up walking out

Walking out I went to my car getting in I slammed my hand on the steering wheel
