Janessa's POV
______________

I was at my part time job as a chef when my phone rang

Phone convo

(L=Lala'qweshia)

Me: Hey girl, whatcha want I'm at work

L: Your at work?

Me: Yes, i just said that

L: Then who's red corvette is parked in front of your house?

Me: Lala'qweshia, whatchu talkin' bout

L: There is a red corvette parked in front of your house

Me: Are you sure it's not the neighbours house

L: Girl, i know where you live

Me: So you telling me there is a red corvette parked in front of 317 Redwood, New Orleans (Fake Address)

L: yes

Me: do me a favor, go into your closet, in the left hand corner, is my red handled machete, i'm finda chop a bitch

L: okay, you want me to pick you up

Me: Yes

L: see you in ten

I stopped cookin and grabbed my purse with my money sock. Someone's gonna die today.I was outside when my boss Sheneta came outside.

Sheneta: Janessa where are you going?

Janessa: Two words: Red Corvette

Sheneta: But you drive a.......... Girl i'll take your shift, go handle your business

She ran off, then Lala'qweshia showed up. She drove me to my house and just like she said there was a red corvette parked outside of my house. She handed me my machete and i walked into the house and the first thing i heard was "I love you, will you marry me?". Now that hurt, five years of my life, down the drain. I walked into the room and Jacob looked more than shocked.

Jacob: How much of that did you hear?

Me: i heard enough

Jacob: Damn... I wanted it to be a surprise

Me: WANTED WHAT TO BE A SURPRISE....THAT YOUR CHEATING ON ME

Jacob: I'm doing what?

Me: Your cheating on me... I heard you ask this woman to marry you

Jacob: (Starts laughing)

Me: oh, you think this is funny... well laugh at this, I need a break from our relationship

Jacob: (Stops Laughing) Wait... What...You can't be serious

Me: I'm as serious as a heart attack

Jacob: So your dumping me?

Me: No i'm taking a break

Jacob: IT'S THE SAME THING

Me: Take it as you want to, i'm taking a break because a part of me still loves you, so i need to think

Jacob: Okay since were taking a break, i'll sleep in the guest room

Me: No need, i'm going to be staying in Toronto with my cousin Nyesha

Jacob: Are you coming back?

Me: Maybe

Jacob: Please don't leave me, i need you

Me: But wait, you didn't need me when you were proposing to this hoe

Jacob: She's not a hoe

Me: Bye Jacob

I start walking away but then stop

Me: Lala'qweshia let's go

Lala'qweshia:.............................

Me: Girl i know you are behind the couch

Lala'qweshia: I thought this was the bathroom

Me: girl, you've been in this house more than me and i live here, you full on know that is not a bathroom

We leave the house and i say by to Lala'qweshia as i jump into my Chevy Camaro and go to the airport.

**************************At The Airport*********************

I got through customs pretty fast since i didn't have anything but my purse. When i got to service area, a lady looked at me then laughed. Janessa don't kill her. Her name tag said: Miranda

Janessa: Excuse me Miranda?

Miranda: Yes

Janessa: May i see Joesph Jenkins?

Miranda: He's not in

Janessa: That's funny cause i just texted him and he said he was here

Miranda: He's Not Here

Janessa: Okay bitch you don't know me, tell Joesph that his niece is here to see him

Miranda: Like i said, no

Janessa: (Pushes girl and walks in Josephs office) Hey Uncle J

Miranda: (Finally caught up with her) S-Sir i t-told her s-she c-couldn't come i-in

Uncle J: and why would you tell her that? This is my niece, i even showed you a picture of her so that you could send her right in

Miranda: your the one that went to j-jail

Janessa: and house arrest twice

Uncle J: You can leave my office now

Miranda: O-Okay (Leaves)

Uncle J: Alright Janessa, let's get you on that private plane, tell Nyesha i said hi when you get there,k?

Janessa: Okay

Nyesha's POV

(At Lunch, In the Cafeteria)

Nia: Nye are you okay?

Nye: Yeah, why?

Nia: Today you seem so.....Dangerous

(Some guy shoves Nye by accident)

Nye:(Looks at the guy) Touch me again and i'll cut your balls off , shove then in your mouth then tape your mouth shut

Guy: okay (Runs away)

Nye: (Looks at Nia) i don't know what your talking about (Smiles) i'm perfectly fine

As we were walking to the cafeteria, i stopped.

Diamond: Are you okay?

Nyesha: I feel my cousins vibe in the school

Diamond: That explains it

Nia: Explains what?

Diamond: When Nyesha was younger she used to spend all her time with janessa that she started to feel her vibe and even from a young age Janessa was Dangerous, so anytime Janessa was around Nyesha, Nyesha was more dangerous by force or vibe

Nia: That's the stupidest story i ever heard

(Bell Rings)

Nia: come on all three of us have music

We all walk to class and I started thinking about what Nia said maybe she's right, maybe I just didn't get enough sleep last night. I sat at my spot on the risers and put my feet up. The teacher look at me then started to complain.

Teacher: Nyesha, stand up

Me: no

Teacher: Listen I'm already having a ruff day with this new student, please stand up

Me: fine (Stands up)

Teacher: new student please come in

???: Fine

Janessa walks into the classroom

Teacher: Introduce yourself

Janessa: Hi, my name is Janessa but don't call me that, call me lanai (Pronounced: La-Nay) or don't call me at all. I'm suppose to be in collage but I was short 2 credits so I didn't graduate. That's why I'm here, the collage director said if I complete high school I can just start my second year of collage when I get back so I won't be behind. I have been to jail, so don't mess with me. Family is everything to me, mess with my family you mess with me. Any questions??

A lot of us put our hand up including me, the teacher picks me first

Me: Hey Janessa

Janessa: didn't I just say no one call me that

Me: (stands up) Hey lanai it's your cousin

Janessa: oh, hey cuz

Teacher: any other questions?

Nobody puts there hands up and that's how the rest of the day went silent, nobody said anything it was just peaceful.

(Dismissal bell)

I went to my locker and there was the queen whore herself

Mary: I told you to stay away from Dustin

Me: And i told you i don't give a damn

Mary: Do you really want me t-

Me: By the time your able to throw a punch, you'll already be on the floor, coughing up blood

Mary: are you sure about that?

Me: Positive

That's when Mary threw the first punch,It was pretty weak but i stumbled back a bit. I sent her a fist to the Jaw and she stumbled back a lot, She spit on the floor (Which is nasty) and sure enough there was blood. Mary: You...Little..., I took a step forward and put my first forward covering my face because that's what Tyronne taught me. I could hear him talking now "Always Cover Your Face, Because one good shot to the neck and you dead". She took a swing, i dodged it and sent her one to the gut. She was bent over and that's when i noticed there was a crowd around us. While i was looking around i felt a slight pain on my face. I walked backward while she just came closer to me.

Mary: So your running away now?

Me: no

Mary: It's okay, it runs in your family

Me: Excuse me?

Mary: Well your dad left your mom or should i say ran away?

Me: Bring up my family one more time (Clenching Fist)

Mary: Yo mama so ugly, her birth certificate came with an apology letter form the condom factory

Me: (Walks Forward) Wanna repeat that?

Mary: I said Yo ma--

That's all it took for me to send her the most powerful punch i had in me. She fell on the floor, but that didn't stop me, i went on top of her and smashed my fist in to her fist over and over in till someone picked me up. I wouldn't stop kicking i wanted to finish her off.

Dustin: Nye stop

Nye: No, She Smashed My Car, she deserves this

Janessa: She Did What?

Janessa came out from the crowd and started beating Mary up, she wasn't lying when she said family first

Janessa: I (Punch) Helped (Punch) pay (Punch) for (Punch) that (Punch) Car (Punch)

Me: Janessa get off of her

Janessa: Three (Punch) Two (Punch) One (Punch) okay i'm done

Me: Dustin put me down

Dustin put me down and went back to my locker and took out my bag then closed back my locker, i turned around to see Chasy.

Me: Hey Chasy

Chasy: Hey baby girl

Janessa: Who's this?

Chasy: Janessa i can't believe you don't remember me, your dating my brother

Janessa; oh yeah

Chasy: Ready to go Nye?

Janessa: Where y'all going?

Chasy: my uncle owns a car dealership so i'm getting her a deal on a new car

Nye: you wanna come?

Janessa: Nah i'm good but i'm staying at your house so give me the house keys

Nye: Kay (Hands House Keys) Later

We left the school and he drove us to his uncle's car dealership.

*********************************In The Dealership***********************************

We walked into the dealership and the first car to catch my eye was 2013 Ferrari California then it was the 2013 Ferrari 458 Spider and lastly the 2013 Ferrari 458 Italia.

Chasy: Alright, go look around

Nyesha: OK

I looked at the three cars that caught my eye then the price, Well that takes out the Ferrari 458 spider. I checked the engine on the other two cars and did some research on it on my phone and decided to pick the 2013 Ferrari California. I went over to were chase was and told him that i picked my car.

Chasy: So uncle Richard, My friend here got her car destroyed and we were hoping you could give us a discount on a car.

Richard: What kind of car does your friend here want?

Nye: 2013 Ferrari California

Richard: Well let's see, the original price is: 200,000 but i think i could give it to you for: 145,000

Nye: are you serious?

Richard: Yup

Nye: I'll take it

Richard: Do you want me to put you on a month to month payment?

Nye: It's okay i'll just write a check

Richard: Alright then just step into my office and we can handle the paper work

**********************After Filling Out The Paper Work************************************

Richard: Alright Nyesha Jenkins this is officially your car, enjoy (Walks off)

Nye: OH MY GOSH CHASE, I LOVE YOU RIGHT NOW, I JUST GOT A 2013 Ferrari California

Chase: Save that love for Dustin

Nye: Shut up

I drove myself home in my brand new car. When i got home i had to knock on the door because Janessa has my keys. After i knocked some guy came to the door.

Nye: i'm sorry i think i have the wrong house

Mom: Nyesha is that you?

Nye: (Pushes past the guy) Mom who's that?

Janessa: That's my Friend Jamari

Nye: Okay, Well i got my new car

Mom: What happened to your old one?

Nye: Oh yeah you don't know.

I explain the whole entire story to her and when i'm done she looks like she's gonna kill someone. I excuse myself then go to my room's bathroom and take a shower. When i'm finished i go straight to bed...... It's been a Long Day.
