Play Your Cardz Right, Sydia Smith [best book reader TXT] 📗

Knowing that James beat his ass she didn’t care. “Where is she?” She said heading to her mother. “What the hell are you talking about.” She said. Putting the phone down on the table she pulled her gun out and pointed at her.

Moving closer was her father, Jenna, and James. “Put the gun down. She isn’t worth it.” James said coming closer. “I swear to God if you guys come any closer I will shoot all of you.” She said pointing it at him and then back at her mother. “Now I asked you a question, where the hell is she?” Destiny asked. “I don’t know what you are talking about.” Her mother answered. “Stop fucking lying to me. That phone has a billion text messages from you to the guy I put a bullet in. You are the one who told her what to do. You initiated this war.” Destiny said screaming. Coming out of the back Denise and Desire was worried. “Destiny what the hell are you doing?” Denise said seeing her pointing the gun at their mother. “Where is she?” She said cocking the gun. “She is on her way with a little surprise for you.” She said smiling.

Walking up to her she slapped her with her gun. Falling to the ground she went looked outside. Seeing the car she knew it was her. Seeing her get out pointing the gun at the passenger seat Destiny ran out of the house. “Let him go!” She said looking at Tyler. “You would like that wouldn’t you. See it’s funny how it comes down to the guy you love all the time. Hear what I want you to do. Put the gun down and I will let him go.” She said. Shaking her head no she knew what was going to happen. Seeing Tay pull up she knew she had to do something quick. “Ty.” She scream. Holding her back was Sammie. “The decision is on you. Let him die or you die.” She said smiling. Seeing Tay and then Ty she knew what to do. Putting her gun down she knew she was going to die.

Smiling she put her gun at rest. “Go to your sister.” Destiny said not trusting Brianna. “Now time for you to die.” Brianna said shooting her gun. Jumping for cover she felt the impact. Screaming she grabbed her side. “Are you still alive?” Brianna said smiling. Taking her side piece out, she got up. Looking at Brianna she pointed her gun at her head. Five years I have waited for this moment. Thanks to your mother she gave me information to take you out. Poor Desire and Denise though.” She said looking for Destiny. Pulling the trigger she moved towards the house. Hearing a thud, she knew she hit her. Going into the house she saw Denise and Desire. “Go in the other room.” She said still holding her side. Not listening they saw her hurt. “Aunt Jenna.” Desire called out. Coming out she saw the womb. “Desi let me help you.” She said seeing the severity of her womb. “She is still out there I can’t leave her out there. Bring me her.” Destiny said pointing to her mother.

Seeing her waking up she waited. Looking at her daughter, her head was throbbing. “I know she is taking orders from you, call it off now.” She said. “I been called it off when I heard about Desire. She wasn’t supposed to attack her. She was only supposed to threaten her and receive the message. Not be the message.” She said. Charging at her was Desire. “You did this!” She said attacking her mother. Pulling her off was James. Wrapping the gauges on her side Jenna knew she had to at least stop the bleeding. “Listen, this will buy you some time but if I don’t get the bullet out of you, you will die.” She said fighting the tears. Shaking her head she reloaded her gun and went outside.

Seeing the trail of blood leading to the car she cocked her gun. Seeing her lying there she knew she was going to die. Kicking the gun out of her reach she pointed her gun at her head. “Should have let it go. I didn’t intentionally break your jaw. I never got the chance to tell you that. I am sorry about that but that doesn’t change anything. You tried to kill my family. I will never see that as justice for what I did to you. Have a nice trip to hell.” She said pulling the trigger. Seeing that her vision was blurry she dropped to the floor. Running towards her was Tyler, Tay and Sammie. Calling for help tears feel from Tay’s eyes. Running towards them was Desire, Denise James and Jenna with her medical kit. “We have to get her to the hospital.” Jenna said checking her pulse. “No hospitals, she will go to jail.” James said. “I know someone.” Sammie said picking up her phone.

Grabbing the gun she went into the house. Following her James knew what she was going to do. “You did this. Why!” Denise said pointing the gun at her mother. “When you guys were younger I saw something in her eyes. I knew she was going to be trouble. So I treated her different. I couldn’t care for a person who I knew was going to harm me. When she was sixteen and I heard she was joining a clique I called Hunter and told him to eliminate the problem. Two days later the drive by happened. I didn’t know you was coming home that week. When I heard that he killed you I blamed her. After you passed everything went south. She was still troublesome so when I heard Brianna was out of her rehabilitation the perfect opportunity opened again. Now we are here.” She said with no emotion.

“Destiny is about to die because you thought she was troubled. She beat Brianna ass because she was defending you. She joined the clique because you rejected her and when she found out you was the reason I was shot she didn’t even try to stop us from seeing you. She loves you with all of her heart and this is how you repay her. You don’t get to live. You don’t get to sit here and watch her die.” She said cocking her gun. “Denise she isn’t worth it.” James said knowing what she was thinking about. “She did this. She tried to drive a wedge between me and Destiny. Why does she get to live?” She said. “Denise look at me. Desi wouldn’t want you to do this. She collected evidence because she wanted to make her suffer. Don’t put her out of her misery of her suffer.” He said. Looking at him she put the gun down. Hugging his niece he knew how to honor Destiny’s wishes.

Two Months Later

Watching her sleep he smiled. Opening the door Tay rolled her eyes. Stop being a creep.” She said to her brother. “I am not letting her out of my sight.” He said. “Well you are going to have to she has company.” She said. Walking in the room was Denise and Desire. Hugging him they told him that they would take good care of her. Sitting down on the chair, she grabbed her sister’s hand. “Weekly update, Denise and I are now officially running our own business. It’s called triple D.  I finally got my diploma. I had to graduate early and I also have my license. Yeah I know it’s about time right. I hope you wake up soon.” Desire said kissing her on her forehead. Walking out, Denise understood why. “Update on mom, she is in prison for life. Desire has shut her out of her life completely. I don’t necessarily think it’s the right thing to do but I understand it. I am seeing someone professionally about my issues. It is helping a little.

Uncle James is going through it hard. He feels like it’s his fault. I know he is holding in all of his feelings. No one seems to know how to make him talk about it, well except Aunt Jenna, but she is hurting as well. She blames herself as well. She keep telling me that she shouldn’t have let you go back out, but to operate on you the first time she saw it. Sammie is burying herself into her work, which isn’t healthy. Tay is crying every night, she is also sleeping with her mom. Tyler, well Ty hasn’t left the house. Tyrone’s parents aren’t having the funeral without you. They are praying that they don’t lose you either. I am struggling as well. I can’t lose you we all can’t lose you. Come back to us. Please.” Denise said wiping her tears.

After being shot Destiny was in a coma. For the last two months life continued but her coma effected everyone. Denise finds it difficult to trust anyone anymore. She isn’t speaking with her father and mother. She isn’t really sleeping or eating. Desire graduated early. She completed all of the classes she needed during the summer time. She is now a co-owner of Triple D. She isn’t talking to her mother. She has cut her out of her life completely. She don’t want anything to do with her. Whenever someone does talk about her she block them out. She doesn’t respond to them. Tay have anxiety. When she does sleep she have nightmares. Her mother started sleeping with her to help her cope with her pain. Teresa also is having difficulties dealing with the coma. James continued to buy his cars and help run the Grinderz but he shut off his emotions. He hasn’t seen Destiny ever since the day she was shot. He can’t deal with the pain. He hasn’t spoken to his brother and his sister moved in with him temporarily. Jenna clocked out of life. She lives on routine. Help her kids, go to work, and then sleep.

Sammie hasn’t dealt with it. She is preventing herself from dealing with it. She has been working and working. Tyler hasn’t left the building in two months. He doesn’t want to leave her side or the house without knowing if she is going to wake up or not. He sleeps in the same room with her and eats with her. All of the hours of the day is with her. He feels that he is the reason she got shot. He felt like he should have done something to prevent from happening.

The clique is still number one but isn’t running as smooth as it used to. Bossy Chic has dropped in their ranking and lost a lot of respect from other cliques and recruits. The HOC is on high waters because of the uncertainty of whether she going to live or die.  All they can do is wait. All everyone has to do is wait.
