26

Harmony

I sat against the wall holding on to my babies comforting them. Jamal of course didn't even come all the way in the safe room he just made sure we were okay.

I silently said a prayer as I still heard the gun shots going off.

Soon the gun shots stopped and everything was quite. I jumped hearing loud banging on the door.

I looked down at Karion seeing him breathing in and out slowly. Jamal always told him to do this instead of crying. 

The door opened and Jamal's face appeared. "We gotta get out of here"

I stood up with Khalif in my hands and Karion went running to Jamal. Jamal held on to the top of his head as Karion hugged him.

We all walked out and hurried to the front door. I didn't see any bodies so I was assuming they got cleaned up.

The front door busted open before we could even get out and hella cop's busted in with their guns appointing to all of us.

"Get down" They yelled. The room was full of their yelling , Khalif's cries and Jamal telling us everything is going to be okay.

-

I sat at the kitchen table at my house with my hands on my head.

There was a knock at the door and I hurried to answer it. I opened it seeing Jayla.

"Finally!" I said slipping my uggs on. "Khalif is fed and asleep just check on him every once in a while and Kariom is laying down but I know he's scared so please just comfort him and watch a movie or something , Just make sure my babies are okay and don't let NOBODY in my house. Understood?"

"Understood" She nodded.

"Good I'll be back as soon as possible" I said rushing out the door.

I got down to the police station and sat patiently shaking my leg. They were letting him go for now because they didn't have any evidence on him yet so I bailed him out.

I been waiting for about three hours and I was ready to go the fuck off.

Finally I heard the buzz of the door opening and he walked out pulling his pants up.

We didn't say anything to each other until we got in the car.

"You good" I asked looking over at him.

"Yeah I'm good , You and the kids straight"

"Yeah, Karion is a little shook up but I think its more of because he was worried about you"

He nodded rubbing his hands over his face. "You know I'm facing 25 to life right" He asked looking at me.

"Look we gone make sure you don't do that 25 to life" I said as I made a left turn. "Just stay lowkey"

He nodded and looked out the window then back to me. "Can you drop me off at the trap"

"What I just say Jamal" I yelled.

"Okay ,sorry" He huffed.

I pulled up to my place and we both got out the car.

We walked in seeing Karion still woke and Jayla dozing off.

"Pops" Karion yelled running to Jamal.

They hugged each other then Karion looked at Jamal with a serious face.

"Don't ever do that shit again bruh" Karion said causing Jamal to cut his eyes at him.

"Watch your mouth boy" Jamal told him.

I went to the back checking on Khalif seeing that he was still sleep and breathing peacefully.

I heard knocking at the door and walked out Khalifs room leaving the door cracked a little.

"So nobody is going to answer the door" I said looking at Kayla and Jamal.

They both just shrugged. I shook my head walking to the door. Once I opened it my eyes bucked and I quickly stepped outside closing the door behind me.

"What are you doing here" I asked him whisper yelling.

"Your supposed to be mine Harmony" He said , his words were slurred and his breath reeked of alcohol.

"Trent your drunk. Go home"

"I'm not going anywhere unless your with me" He grabbed my waist.

"Let me go" I said through gritted teeth pushing his hands off of me.

His hand connected with my cheek and I held it counting to three. Before I couldn't even get to three the door swung open revealing Jamal.

I turned back around once I heard a noise. It was Jay. He shook his hand off and I looked down seeing Trent on the floor knocked out.

"I'm offing his ass, he done for" Jay said pulling out his gun and put a silencer on.

I jumped letting out a scream as Trent's body jerked and he let out a choking sound once Jay shot him in the stomach.

I turned around grabbing onto Jamal and hid behind him as him and Jay just watched Trent die slowly.

"Get him out of here" I cried.

I walked into the house and sat down next to Jayla. She pulled me close and held me as I cried.
