Jacob
Everything is completely different now. Many more things are about to be changed more than ever before. No one is going to control me or run over me. I have someone to live for and need to protect now. If I leave, I'll just be like the other people who have left her. No good fuck ups. I've made plans for any and everything. I'm very well prepared.
Currently I was roaming the streets, talking to some of the crooks I used to talk to before leaving Ramon. They were telling me all kinds of shit. I didn't believe none of it, but one thing in particular stood out to me. About Brice. Nate said that Brice was going after me all along, and that he knows I care about Phiona so he hurt her to see what I'd do. Brice is a complete bitch. He doesn't know me like Tré did, and Nate does. He won't know what's going to be coming for him.
I walked to Nate's destination.
"Wassup Jay." Nate said dapping me. Nobody knew my actual name except for Phiona, so I had to accept everyone else still calling me Jay.
"Nothing, any other word on Brice?" I asked.
"Nah, nothing yet." Nate said.
"I'll wait then." I said taking a seat.
"Jay, how's Phiona?" Nate asked.
"She's doing better, she's going back to her old self." I explained.
"That's good to hear then." Nate said. I just nodded my head.
All I could think about was my revenge against Brice. He was never true in the first place. That's what Tré always told me. He said never hold your hand out to anybody. I've kept them words in my head since I was fourteen. I've never done nothing for nobody, because I never gave a fuck. He also told me something else if you truly care, then help. One more thing as well learn to love, and teach others how to love if no one else will. And I'm doing exactly those things.
Somethings gotta give in this cruel ass society. I hate it.

I began walking back to the apartment complex. I arrived in to see Phiona and Mama Claudia sitting on the couch. Phiona had something in her hand.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"Jacob, I took a test and the results came back negative." Phiona said.
"Wait..what?" I asked.
"I'm not pregnant." Phiona said.
I rubbed my face. This was too much at the moment, but I know I gotta stick to my word. I'm a be here for her all throughout everything. I walked towards her and hugged her.
She actually hugged back this time.
"I'm sorry." I said.
"It's okay Jacob." Phiona said.
"I'll be here and I'm sticking to my word." I said. Her head rested on my shoulder as I continued to hold her.
"All it is now is just a memory." Phiona said.
"Yeah, but you shouldn't have suffered through it in the first place, but I'll tell you what. Brice, will have to suffer the consequence." I explained.
"Jacob, you aren't gonna do anything stupid are you?" Phiona asked.
"I got it." I said standing up.
"Jacob no." Phiona said grabbing my arm.
"Nija." Mama Claudia spoke in Spanish to Phiona. Phiona looked to her and then back at me. She let go of my arm with a saddened face.
Mama Claudia nodded for me to go on. I guess she understood. I don't need to do this, but I want to do this for Phiona. I think I'm falling..

Phiona
Jacob had went out the door before I could say anything else. I was frustrated. I knew exactly what he was going to do. Violence doesn't solve anything, and out of all people Mama tells him to go.
"Mama C why'd you let him go?!" I asked.
"Because I understand." Mama Claudia said.
"W-what do you mean?" I asked.
"Phiona I've been in a situation like this before. Let Jacob do what he needs to, to protect you. He cares and you don't understand that do you?" Mama Claudia asked me.
"No, no I don't. Why does he care anyway though? He never paid me no mind." I huffed.
"Because nija... he, he's starting to fall for you." Mama Claudia said.
"Oh whatever. I don't really buy it." I said.
"Okay, you'll come around." Mama Claudia said. I huffed again and walked into my room. I laid on my bed and thought of every sign that would show he cares about me.
Sweet dreams princess. One.
You're beautiful. Two.
The kiss. Three.
There are more, but I just didn't want to say nothing about them right now. I sighed. Mama Claudia is always right. After a few more hours, it was dark outside and all I could think about was what Jacob was doing. I was scared for no apparent reason except for the thought that Jacob could get hurt.
I stood out of bed and left out of the apartment. I went to the destination I thought that Jacob would be. When I arrived, I hid around the corner and listened to the conversation.
"Why don't just run back to that little bitch, she got what she deserved." I heard Brice say.
"She deserve none of that, you're just mad because she actually cares about me." Jacob said.
"She don't give two shits Jay! Stop dreaming." Brice said.
"How bout you stop dreaming Brice, cause what you did is not some type of board game to play with. She's a young woman who was violated by a no good bastard." Jacob explained.
The way he was standing up for me, was winning my heart away. I couldn't believe he actually had some type of feeling towards me. I continued listening.
"Why the fuck you even care? You never cared about anyone before." Brice said.
"Because things change you dumbass and she's actually different, special really. I can't believe you'd stoop so low though." Jacob explained.
"You're just a little bitch now, just come back to our side." Brice said.
"No fuck you!" Jacob yelled.
bang.
I ran out from the corner to see that Jacob had a gun in his hand and so did Brice. But who fired?
"Jacob." I softly said in the middle of the silence. He turned around and looked at me, as did Brice.
"Who?" Brice asked. I ignored him and stepped to Jacob.
"Don't do this." I said.
"Phiona, go home." Jacob said.
"No." I said.
"I got it, just go home." Jacob said. Tears began sliding down my face. I shook my head.
"I don't want you to get hurt." I cried.
"Trust me." Jacob said, he looked deep into my eyes. I gotta trust him. I kissed his cheek and then ran off.
But I didn't go home. I stayed around the corner. I knew I wasn't safe, but I wanted Jacob to be alright.

I listened to all of the arguing and fighting. I peeked a few times, but the sight was unbearable. The last thing I heard was a gunshot and suddenly I felt my arm get roughly grabbed.
"Phiona what the fuck are you doing here!? I told yo silly ass to get the fuck home!" Jacob yelled in my face.
"I just couldn't okay? What happened?" I asked. I was once again crying.
"I shot him, now go home cause he's not dead!" Jacob exclaimed.
"Jacob, please." I begged.
"Go home." Jacob said.
"J-Jacob." I stuttered looking behind him.
"Phiona listen to me." Jacob spat.
"Brice is fucking behind you!" I yelled.
Jacob turned and immediately swung on him with his gun. Brice dropped down. Blood gushed from his head and his chest from where Jacob shot him.
"This is terrible." I cried.
"When something bad goes wrong, there are consequences." Jacob said.
"Violence doesn't help!" I yelled.
"Phiona run home before the cops come, please." Jacob said.
"Fine, but good luck cleaning this mess up." I said.
He held me against the wall and looked into my eyes.
"I did it for you." he said and then kissed my cheek.
Only a tear slipped down. I walked home, not saying another word.
