Save Me From You

My Happy Ending.

-Next Day

"Tell me who did it."

I finally get home after being in the hospital for a week, and Rodney starts to bombard me with these questions!

"I already told you; Candice."

"Candice didn't rape you."

"Yes, she did."

"How'd she rape you?"

"I'm not going to tell you. You won't believe me."

"Tell me a story, baby."

I took a deep breath, "Before I left the party, I was texting Candy. She told me that she needed my help. That's one of the reasons why I left. To be honest, I didn't want to go. I thought that you'd stop me, but you didn't. I figured you didn't care, so I just left. When I got to the apartment, she started blowing up my phone, telling me to hurry up. Even though I'm not on that good of terms with her, if something were to happen to her and I could've done something about it, I wouldn't be able to rid the guilt."

I started shaking my head as memories started flooding from back when me and Candice were still best friends. I've known her since a little before I came to New Jersey. We met online when I was looking at the college I wanted to go to. They had this little chat thing and she was telling me all about how it's her dream college and stuff. We had a great connet; or so I thought.

"As I got closer to the door, I saw somebody on the rail. I started backing up, and he got closer. He took me up to my apartment and I saw Candice with ropes and stuff. I tried to fight them off, but he put a wet rag over my nose and mouth and everything went black."

Rodney still looked confused, "I understand that she played a part, but how did she rape you?"

"She didn't just sit there and watch, she had her fun, too. Not only that, but she recorded it."

"Who was the guy?"

I looked up and my eyes grew wide, "Drew."

"Surprise, surprise." He had a cynical grin, "I thought I told you what would happen if you even tried to remember what went down."

He had a gun pointed to Rodney's head. Rodney just sat there unphased, "I've had a gun to my head too many times to get scared by a punk. You forgot that I'm the one who trained you? I know everything you know, and then some."

"Exactly. Therefore, I know all your moves."

Rodney chuckled, "You forgot the and then some part."

Rodney did a back flip, kicking the gun out of Drew's hand and pointing it at him, "I can't believe you raped my girl, man. It's all good though. Karma only gets me back when I murder with hot blood. It's cold now."

He shot him in the stomach, "Don't go to the light and you might live." He told him as he was hunched over, puking blood, "And who told you that you could bleed on me and my girl's carpet?"

He kicked him and he fell over, "Me and my boys gone take care of him. I'll get Candice while I'm at it."

I nodded, not knowing what he'd do. The only thing I could think about right now was to call Chance.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"I need you to come get me."

"I'm already on my way."

"I don't know what they're going to do to them. I just hope I don't have to worry." I told Chance and my mother after getting out the shower and eating.

"Well whatever they do, I pray none of it gets you all in trouble." My mother sighed, "I just reunited with you two and I don't want to lose you again. You're all I have."

I looked at her, "Mama, what about Raven and Deidjah?"

"Deidjah, she um... She died from AIDS, and Raven moved to France. She said she's not coming back."

I only shook my head. I don't hate my sisters, but I don't completely have love for them neither. They always acted like they were disgusted in me. They never once told me that they loved me or even did anything nice. I'm not glad they're gone, but at the same time, I don't really care.

"Baby, how you feel about moving to Toronto?" He asked through the phone with hope in his voice.

"Toronto as in Canada?"

"Yeah, come on, it'll be fun." He urged me.

I sighed heavily, "Rodney, what'd you do?"

"Nothing that you need to worry about. I just don't want to be here anymore, you know?" He just sounds like he's done something foul and illegal.

"Okay," I shook my head, "So why do we have to move across the border?"

"We can stay in the U.S." He said quickly with a tone in his voice. It sounded like he wanted to cover up something, but didn't know how to. As if he were nervous, "Where you want to go?"

"I don't know. We could probably move to California, Atlanta, or even Florida."

"Okay, baby. We'll move anywhere you want." I knew he was smiling in satisfaction.

"Rodney, what did you do, for real?" II questioned.

"You don't have to worry about it. No one is going to get in trouble. Not the way I did it." He mumbled that last part, making me wonder.

I sighed and hung up. I don't understand him sometimes. But, at least I can say that he's gotten better. He's started showing his emotions and I don't think he'll ever let me go again too easy.

-A Few Months Later

"Alright, this is it."

"Thank you, baby." I said, pulling him in for a kiss.

Rodney moved us out to California by one of the beaches. We will be living in a more upper class environment than the one we were living in before. It won't be a wealthy one, but it won't be as grimy either.

All of us moved up here, too. My mom, Chance, AJ, Magic, Sparky, Sparky Jr., as I like to call him, and of course, Indi's crazy self.

And as far as kids, we're working on it. At least now, I'll have the family that I always needed.

I sort of feel bad, though. One of my sisters are dead and the other is in France. Darrius has been AWOL and Kareem was gunned down at a gas station. I honestly think Darrius had something to do with it. And guess who was in the car with Kareem and also got killed; Tasha. Shame...

Rodney now has a legit job! He's still being a little thug, but he now has a cover up. He's works in some Blue Collar networking business. I don't really believe him, though, because he never seems stressed or anything.

By the way, Indigo is about to have her a little baby! I'm going to be an auntie! Everyone is wishing that it was the other way around first, then Indi, but I'm happy with what I have. The doctors said that it'll be harder for me to bear a child since I got raped about five times in less than a year. They told me that even though it wasn't brutal, it still kind of messed up my reproductive organs. So, it's not impossible. Just more difficult.

Rodney and I will be marrying soon, too. I'm so ecstatic!

My mother has started dating this Italian chef and the food he makes is the best! Chance is still spitting games to all the older women. I guess his little incident with me didn't slow him down.

Magic started playing piano at this jazz hangout. It seemed weird at first since he doesn't look like a soulful person. But he plays like a pro!

AJ is still hanging with us, but he's really on his own. While we all live close together, he doesn't. He lives more inland. I think he's just scared of the water.

And Papa Sparky swears that he's going to give me away at my wedding. He said that if anybody else did, it'll turn into a funeral... I gave no objection. Sparky is really cool with me. I actually look to him a lot of his guidance. He's not a thug like Rodney and the others. He's just the one who hangs out with the thugs.

Don't get me wrong, Sparky is the one who taught them all the game. He's the OG. But when it comes down to it, they're still in the game while he got out and settled down. Think about it, you'll understand me.

That's the end... Check out my other stories! Speaking of which, what type of story do you all want next? All of my stories seem so cliche and all over the place to me. This story and Scared To Go are really the only ones that I think are planned out and make sense. All the others are just...

Anyways,,,

Tasha and Kareem are dead.

Darrius is M.I.A.

Indi is expecting!

Sparky Jr... That's Sparky's son if any of you remember from the chapter titled "I Promise." When Taiah went off on Darrius because he killed someone with Sparky's gun.

Mama Crackhead has a boo thang that can cook!

Rodney is a Blue Collar... He's lying, though. He just has a plain job...

Magic plays jazz.

AJ is doing his own thing.

Sparky is just everybody's daddy!

Chance is still a grown little man. [Peep my Kev Hart reference.]

Candy is a rapist.

Hardly anybody thought it was Drew and Candy. The only reason some of y'all did is because I decided to tell y'all in the last chapter. Also, Drew was the guy who threatened her in Death Threats.

I'm done.
