Revenge Is Mine

by Asia Hill

  I wasted no time getting my issue off my chest.

  “Talk that lil’ girl shit now.”

  (BAM!)

  I punched her dead in her eye.

  “You pregnant?”

  (KICK)

  “Not after today.”

  I kicked her square in her stomach. She wasn’t fucking with me. I was on beast mode. She was on the ground trying to use the car as leverage to stand up.

  (WHACK!)

  I slammed her head into the car door.

  “You got . . . (WHACK!) . . . me . . . (BAM!) . . . fucked (CRACK!) . . . up.”

  She was on the verge of passing out. I was about to Mortal Combat finish her ass until this bitch caught me off guard and snuck me from my blind side.

  (BAM!)

  (Spooky)

  I was ready. Mia had just dropped some news on me that I wasn’t expecting. T was in the company of the enemy the whole time. As soon as Mia got out of the car, ole girl dropped her.

  “Damn!”

  I got out of the car and let them get head up. Well I thought it was going to be a good fight especially after all that rah-rah shit Mia was talking. But from the looks of it, whoever that bitch was, she was whooping Mia’s ass. I had seen enough. If I didn’t help her, Mia’s ass was about to be knocked out. Ole girl never saw me coming

  (BAM!)

  She staggered back a bit. She looked at me with that ‘you know you done fucked up’ look.

  “Oh yeah! You want some, too?”

  I was ready, or so I thought. She came at me like a skilled boxer. She was bouncing around and shit. I was trying to watch her hands. Wrong move!

  (WHACK!, WHACK!)

  She hit me so fast I got stuck. I bounced back though. I’m far from a punk.

  “Let’s dance hoe.”

  (BOP, BOP)

  I gave her a nice two-piece combo before she stuck me again. I saw Mia getting up, so I knew she was about to jump in. I saw Mia pick up a bottle. She was about to hit ole girl with it, when all of a sudden, JoJo’s fat ass came out of nowhere.

  (JoJo)

  I didn’t even have time to talk JuJu’s ass out of fighting. She jumped out of the car and got on Mia’s ass. I was speechless. That girl was on a mission. Ain’t never seen my sister get her ass served like that. JuJu was wearing that ass out. Gaahhh damn! I sat there watching not knowing what to do. I thought I was in the clear until Spooky snuck JuJu.

  “Fuck!”

  I jumped out of the car and joined the party. Mia was shaking off the ass-whooping Ju put on her. JuJu was tapping Spooky’s ass. Damn, that bitch had wings as if she drank a Red Bull. I stood there until I saw Mia charge at JuJu with a bottle. She was so hell-bent on hitting her that she never saw me.

  (WHAM)

  “Uh, bitch!”

  She dropped the bottle and looked at me.

  “Bitch, I’m ‘bout to beat that baby out of you.”

  I got ready to fight to the death because I was going to die protecting my baby. I had to. I didn’t say shit. We locked like two pit bulls. I didn’t have to worry about Spooky because JuJu was literally stomping her head into the ground as if she was a footwork rig in a dance contest. Mia and I went blow for blow until she hit me in my eye causing me to fall backwards. Then the dirty bitch kicked me in my stomach, knocking all the fight I had out of me.

  “AARRGGGHHH!”

  Chapter 32

  Lil Mama

  When I came to, Cee had me tied to one of my dining room chairs. She was sitting directly in front of me.

  “Welcome back, bitch.”

  “Wow, that was a nice thing to say to me after you cheated on me.”

  She stood up and walked up on me. I didn’t expect what happened next. She hocked and spit in my face.

  “Aww hell, naw bitch, you done lost yo mind. Untie me. You wanna fight?”

  “You think I got you tied to a chair because I’m mad about a fight?”

  “It wasn’t no fight. I hit you and you hit the ground.”

  “You got a smart-ass mouth. I’ma shoot you in the face like them niggas you was with who shot my brother.”

  Aww shit! How the fuck did she find out I had something to do with that? I couldn’t hide the shock that was plastered on my face. She knew she had me.

  “Yeah you quiet now. Talk!”

  (SMACK)

  No this bitch didn’t just hit me.

  “Who told you I had something to do with that?”

  “You would rather ask a question than deny the accusation?”

  “Deny it for what? I know I’m about to die. I’m cool with that. I just wanna know who told you.”

  “I’ll let you see her face before you take your last breath.”

  I closed my eyes and said a small prayer.

  (Knock, Knock)

  I knew Boo would come once she realized I didn’t call her back. Cee opened the door and I braced-myself preparing for the blood splatter and the loud boom that I knew was coming.

  “Just in time, baby. Come in.”

  Huh? That ain’t Boo. When I opened my eyes, I swear I peed a little.

  “Well Lil Mama. Looks like you in a fucked-up situation. You should call 911. Aww wait, that’s me.”

  “Ashley, what the fuck are you doing?”

  “I’m doing what my woman wants me to do. I would help you out, but you let that fat bastard kidnap me. Not only did he kidnap me, but he raped me over and over again. He made me sit in my own shit and piss. Payback is a bitch.”

  Oh my god, I couldn’t believe this funky-ass hoe.

  “You told Cee about Big T?”

  “Of course I did. Don’t worry, I told her that you didn’t actually kill him. Poohman did. So instead of trying to kill all of ya’ll, I’ma make sure that you die and the rest of them do life in prison: Jaw, Young Meech, Poohman, and Boo.”

  “Boo wasn’t even there.”

  “Her and Heidi killed A and Blake.”

  “You fucking bitch.”

  “I know, thank you. You can die. We don’t need you anymore. But before you go, I want you to experience some pain. Cee, go turn on the stove and bring me back something hot.”

  Cee kissed Ashley and did as she was told.

  “Tiki is probably turning over in her grave right now.”

  “Fuck that lying little bitch. It’s because of her that I met ya’ll nothing-ass bitches.”

  Cee came back in the room smiling. She handed Ashley my hot comb. It was red hot. Oh God!

  “Open her legs and hold them. I’m going to burn your thighs like he did me and then I’m going to fuck you with this hot comb.”

  “Bitch, you better kill me.”

  “Oh, I plan to. Nice and slow.”

  She pressed the hot comb on my thigh.

  “ARRRGGHHHHHHH!”

  (Heidi)

  Once I heard her scream, I knew that she needed us. T kicked the door open and starting bussing.

  (BOC! BOC! BOC!)

  Me and Boo rushed the crib like the ATF Boys. We almost knocked each other over trying to stop, once we made it to the dining room and saw who was holding a hot comb.

  “Ashley, what the fuck are you doing?”

  “Getting my revenge.”

  “Aww, Boo, see I told you that you should have let me knock that bitch out a long time ago. Bitch, why you tryin to burn her leg. You need to get them naps on the back of your neck ya ole nappy-headed bitch!”

  (Boo)

  I couldn’t believe my eyes either.

  “Ashley, what the fuck are you doing?”

  “Quit asking me that shit. What the fuck does it look like?”

  (Click, Clack)

  I cocked my gun. I wasn’t about to play with her.

  “Sis, you good?”

  “Man, Joe, shoot this bitch.”

  “And you,” I pointed to Gee, “are going to die too, bitch.”

  I looked at Heidi to see if she was ready. To my surprise, she was in killer mode. Never seen that look b
efore. Somebody was about to die.

  “Fuck all this talking.”

  (POP!, POP!)

  I let off two rounds. Ashley and Gee scattered.

  “Heidi, get Lil Mama.”

  I dropped low and went looking for they ass. It was dark as hell. I couldn’t see shit.

  “Are you ready to die?”

  Fuck me! Ashley crept up on me and pushed her pistol against my head.

  (Lil Man)

  “Heidi, you gotta shoot that bitch! My leg is burned really badly. Ain’t no running. Go get her!”

  I crawled under the dining room table and called for reinforcements.

  “Yo, what up?”

  “Get to my crib now! We in trouble.”

  I hoped that help came in time.

  Chapter 33

  ReRe

  “Pull over right there, Re.”

  “I am.”

  When we pulled up, those hoes were out there brawling. JuJu was stomping some girl and JoJo’s ass was banging it out with her sister. When she fucked up and slipped, ole’ girl kicked her in the stomach. She dropped to the ground and screamed. Dirty snapped.

  “JOJO!”

  She jumped out of the car, pistol in hand.

  “E, NO!”

  Mia never saw it coming.

  (BOC!, BOC!, BOC!, BOC!, BOC!)

  Damn, she emptied the whole clip in that girl. Mia dropped like a ton of bricks. JuJu ran to help pick up JoJo.

  “Oh god. My water just broke!”

  “E, we gotta go before the police come.”

  When I saw E bring that hoe to my car, I hit my locks.

  “Uh-uh. That bitch ain’t getting in here.”

  The look E game me sent a clear message that maybe our friendship was over. Ju handed E the keys to her car and got in the car with me. The girl she crawled over to Mia and started screaming. Oh shit, it was time to go. Ju looked at me and shook her head.

  “You really need to quit. Follow Dirty to the hospital.”

  “I’m not!”

  “FOLLOW HER!”

  Damn, why the fuck is everybody so mad at me? I’m only looking out for them. JoJo was the enemy. She was about to have the enemy’s baby. Why be mad at me?

  (Dirty E)

  “OH, GOD. E, GET ME TO THE HOSPITAL!”

  “Be cool, shorty, we almost there!”

  “It hurts so bad.”

  I hit the expressway flying like a bat out of hell. Re made me wanna shoot her ol’ evil ass. I made it to Rush in no time.

  “I think the head is coming out. OH GOD!”

  I stuck my hand between her legs and I’ll be damned! The head was crowning. I jumped out of the car and ran in the emergency room door to find a doctor. I was freaking out!

  “S-s-somebody help me, please. My friend is having her baby!””

  Two nurses ran outside with a stretcher. Two seconds later, they came back with a screaming JoJo.

  “IT HURTS! TAKE IT OUT!”

  I ran back outside to park my car. Ju and ReRe were walking up as I parked. I didn’t have shit to say to Re’s ass. They followed me without saying a word.

  (JoJo)

  Labor pains ain’t no joke. I swear the shit hurt like hell. I didn’t even get a chance to get pain medicine. My little girl was almost out.

  “Push, baby, push. You almost done. One more big push. There!”

  Out came my little girl. She came out hollering, which was a good sign. I was exhausted. I thanked God that when I opened my eyes, E was there with the nurses making sure everything was good. The nurse came and brought me my baby. E was smiling like a proud father.

  “JoJo, you sure that baby ain’t mine?”

  The nurse looked at her and shook her head.

  “She’s kidding.”

  “She’s small but very healthy overall. Would you like to hold her?”

  When she gave me my baby, the first thing I noticed were those signature hazel eyes.

  “Damn you are a cute little girl. Yes you are.”

  She looked at me and smiled. I didn’t see any resemblance to Derrick. Thank God.

  (Knock, Knock)

  In came JuJu and Re. Oh Lord.

  “Aww JoJo, let me see her.”

  JuJu held her and sat next to me.

  “She is so cute. Hey pretty mama.”

  The creepiest thing happened. She started giggling as if JuJu said the funniest thing in the world. Me and JuJu locked eyes. I hope she would be nothing like him. Re walked out of the room.

  (Spooky)

  “Ma’am, can you tell me who did this?”

  I didn’t say shit. I just listened to the EMTs talk.

  “Shit, she’s lucky to be alive. Whoever beat her ass meant business.

  “Well, at least she didn’t end up like that other one.”

  “Once we get to Rush, we’ll let the doctor’s know she’s a minor. Do you want us to call anybody for you?”

  I didn’t have shit to say. Wait until I run into the hoes again. It was going to be on!

  “We’re here.”

  (ReRe)

  I didn’t know what to feel. I knew that my besties love me. I just wondered how they could forgive her for that shit she took part in. When I saw JuJu happily holding Lil Man’s baby, it made me sick. I walked out of the room to call Poohman. He wasn’t answering the phone. Shit! I wanted to hurt somebody, bad.

  “Clear the way.”

  I moved out of the way so the paramedics could wheel in somebody. When I turned around, I almost did a happy dance. It was the bitch JuJu beat up. I played it cool. I saw them roll her into exam room four. I walked back toward the maternity ward. I needed some scrubs. After I found what I was looking for, I made my way to exam room four.

  (Machine beeping)

  Damn. JuJu beat her ass bad. Her eyes were closed shut. This bitch looked like leap frog. I looked around the room for something I could use as a weapon. I found a syringe. I heard that if you pumped air into an I.V., the air bubble would travel to your heart and kill you Well, let’s see! I unplugged the machines so the alarms wouldn’t alert the nurse. Once I pushed the air into the I.V., her eyes popped open as much as they could. I slapped my hand on her face and held her down. She didn’t have much fight left in her. Ole punk-ass bitch. After I checked her pulse to make sure she was dead, I used a napkin to wipe off everything I touched. Dang, I feel so much better. Rest in hell, bitch!

  Chapter 34

  Heidi

  “Stay put, Lil Mama, I’m about to find Boo. Where the fuck is the light switch? It’s dark as fuck.”

  This is some crazy-ass Law and Order-type shit. It’s always some drama with us. I need some new friends. Never in a million years did I ever think that Boo would get me in so much bullshit. Okay, okay, it ain’t all her fault. I was all for the bullshit in the beginning, but shit got real and people started dying. The streets ain’t no joke. It was dark as shit in this hoe. Let me find out Lil Mama didn’t pay her light bill. I hit the corner and instantly saw stars.

  (BAM!)

  “Who the fuck hit me?”

  That bitch, Cee, laughed and punched me in my stomach. That shit made me fart and knocked the wind out of me.

  “OUCH!”

  Down to my knees I went. I guess this was it. Didn’t look like we were going to be saved today. I looked at Boo and it broke my heart. This was the last time I was going to see my girl. She looked at me.

  “I love you, Heidi.”

  “Bitch, I’ma kill you for getting me killed.”

  I closed my eyes for what I thought would be forever. Ashley laughed at me.

  “Cee, shoot that bitch!”

  (BOC!, BOC!)

  I screamed when I felt Boo’s blood splash on my face.

  (Jaw)

  (BOC!, BOC!)

  My mama screamed, scaring the shit out of me.

  “Bitch, put that gun down.”

  I couldn’t believe my eyes. Ashley was holding a gun to my Auntie Boo’s head.


  “What the fuck is going on?”

  My mama jumped up and went to grab Boo, but Ashley pulled her back and held her tight, pressing her gun to her temple.

  “That dirty bitch was fucking T’s sister.”

  Damn!

  “Fuck you. Lil Mama was fucking her, too. You killed my boo. I’m walking out of here. Ya’ll ain’t dumb enough to kill a cop.”

  (POP! POP! POP!)

  Boo dropped to the ground and my mama went to grab her thinking she was shot.

  “BOO!”

  My mother went crazy. Boo sat up and wiped the blood off of her face.

  “I’m fine bitch, move. Who the fuck shot her?”

  “I did.”

  Poohman came walking out of the shadows.

  “Nigga, yo aim on point boy. How you manage that?”

  “Ask Boo.”

  “Thank God Lil Mama’s freaky-ass likes mirrors. I saw Poohman creeping through the kitchen because of that mirror on the mantle. Why the fuck did you think I was leaning to the side?”

  “Shit, I don’t know, auntie, I thought you were trying to make a run for it.”

  “Who called ya’ll?”

  “I did.”

  Lil Mama came limping into the room. Her leg was fucked up.

  “I’m good. Just get me to the hospital.”

  How were we going to explain this shit to the police?

  “Lil Mama, the police . . .”

  “The camera on the mantle will explain.”

  Chapter 35

  Young Meech

  (Two weeks later)

  I was furious that my mom was almost killed. Jaw and Poohman saved the day. I was beyond grateful. I didn’t have time to be sad. Today was the happiest day of my life. JoJo was out of the hospital and she agreed to help me get Lil Man. We didn’t have to worry about Mia and Money Man’s bitch. Dirty and Re did that. We got a killa squad that ain’t to be fucked with.

  I was on my way to get JoJo when my phone rang. It was JoJo. I hoped she wasn’t calling to change her mind.

  “Young, when you get here, I need to go to K-Mart.”

  “Come outside.”

  (JoJo)

  The last two weeks were the best two weeks of my life. My daughter is so precious. I named her Tyshawn Christina. E was in love with her and them hazel eyes. It was still uncomfortable to speak about her father, so I didn’t. I had been planning to help Meech get Derrick, so I’ve been in touch with him. He wanted to see her so badly. I just knew that the day I let him see her would be the last day of my life. The plan was for me to tell him to meet me so he could see the baby. Meech was going to shoot him and then we’d live happily ever after. For some reason, I knew that it wouldn’t end like that. If all went well, I’d finally be done with him for good. Everybody loved her except ReRe. She didn’t even come around. E was supposed to be here by now. I wanted to take care of this shit and get back to my baby. Derrick was going to be surprised when he shows up and there’s no baby. I hit E and JuJu’s phone . . . nothing. I decided to try Re’s phone.
