Chapter 164Campus Gym: Thursday 5pmone hour before the competition “This brings back so many memories for us, we had so much to look forward too. Things were just as lively as it is now, but more fun, of course we had better clothes and didn't need to show our bodies the way these young girls do now.” Syncere's mom said as they walked into the Gym. The president had asked her and her husband to be the judges of one of the competitions that day. They couldn't judge the competition their son was in but the others they could be the judge of. They would sit in the crowd when it was their son's turn to compete. “Oh I do remember those days; I was a year behind you guys but when I came to this school it changed my life and it was where I met my wonderful husband. I wish he could be here to see Shawn compete today, we are used to seeing him play basketball but we have never seen him do any other sport, so this should be fun. His father should be here on Sunday for th
Chapter 165In the Gymnasium: Continued Thursday 5:30pm His wife eyes widen at the use of her maiden name, he only calls her that when he is truly pissed at her. The last time he did they slept in different rooms for almost a month and had to go to counseling. She was shocked at his audacity to speak to her in that manner in front of their child and his friend. Her anger was boiling now, but she knew better then to provoke him in front of everyone so she simply smiled and nodded. “Yes, I apologize my intentions weren’t to hurt you in anyway, you won't have to worry about me saying anything about it again, ok?” Sharon said, holding Jazz by her shoulders. “It's ok mother Jamison. It is hard to hear him say that we aren't together, but I understand why you're trying to speak up for me. I really appreciate you for trying, but I will be ok.” Jazz said wiping the tear that escaped her eyes. Sharon pulled her into a tight hug. “Don't you worry about anything, I will
Chapter 166Let the games began: “ALRIGHT FOLKS, AS I SAID WE WILL BE PLAYING A GAME OF BASKETBALL. THE RULES ARE AS FOLLOWS, THE WOMEN ON EACH TEAM ARE GOING TO BE THE ONE TO GET THEIR TEAM THEIR POINTS! SHE WILL HAVE ONE MINUTE TO SHOOT AS MANY SHOTS AS SHE CAN! EVERY SHOT IS WORTH ONE POINT FOR THE TEAM. IF SHE MAKES A SHOT FROM THE THREE POINT LINE, THEN THAT WILL BE THREE POINTS! NOW THE DEFENDERS WELL BE THE MEN FROM A RANDOM TEAM. WE HAVE ALL THE NAMES IN A BOX THAT MY ASSISTANT WILL DRAW FROM. NOW THE RULES FOR THE MEN, YOU WILL HAVE ON A BELT WITH THREE FLAGS ON THEM. YOUR JOB IS TO DEFEND YOUR BASKET, BY TRYING TO BLOCK THE WOMEN FROM MAKING SHOTS! BUT IT WILL NOT BE EASY! BECAUSE YOU WILL ALSO HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE WOMAN'S TEAMMATE DOESN'T TAKE YOUR FLAGS! NOW YOU ARE SAFE AS LONG AS YOU STAY IN THE PAINT, BUT ONCE YOU STEP OUT OF THE PAINT, THAT WILL GIVE THE MAN FROM THE OTHER TEAM THE GREEN LIGHT TO HUNT AND TAKE YOUR FLAG. NOW FOR THE GUYS WHO
Chapter 167The end of the competition: “Syn, how did you let her get so many points on you like that?” Jazz asked Syncere with an attitude. “First off, this is just a game, I wasn't going to go hard at her, plus did you not see that big dude trying to take my ass out. Besides she only managed six points.” Syncere said to Jazz shrugging his shoulders. “Yea right don't try to play me, I crossed your ass up out there.” Kymoni said once she came back to life. Essence almost had to do CPR on her ass she was breathing so hard she almost passed out. “And for your information, Syncere didn't let me do shit. I’m just that good and I didn't have to brag like you did, to only get three points. You did all that bragging about Syncere teaching you how to play, but only got three points. Seems like all he was trying to do is get you to activate your slut mode so he could bang you in the bathroom.” Kymoni said making Essence spit out the water she was drinking. Jazz was fuming
Chapter 168The end of the competition: Continued“See what the hell I told yall, don't fuck with Essi because she is a fucking beast. That's why I didn't even look at it I knew she was going to go off, her jump shots always been clean hits every single time.” Kymoni said as everyone looked as Essence laughed at Shawn. Unique was celebrating with his teammates until he turned and saw Essence walking towards Syncere and the group. He ran over to Essence, spun her around, picked her up wrapping his hand around her ass throwing her over his shoulder easily. “GODAMNIT UNIQUE PUT ME DOWN! I SWEAR I'M FUCKING YOU UP PUT ME DOWN!” Essence yelled punching Unique in the back as hard as she could, but he didn't even flinch. Meanwhile Kymoni had to rush over to Syncere who was clearly pissed and tried to play it off by talking to him. Unique finally put Essence down, she turned to him and told his ass off before she walked off looking pissed. Syncere's eyes were on Essence, he w
Chapter 169In the Gym: “Hey, Essence why don't yall come too?” Shawn asked desperately, when he saw them backing away slowly. He wanted to be near Kymoni, so if he had the chance, he could tell her everything. Looking at them and then turning to look at Syn’s mom, that's when he knew he had just fucked up. Essence and Kymoni stopped in their tracks like they were hiding from a killer in a scary movie. Their eyes widen in shock, they were trying their best to be invisible. “Friend, you think they see us? Maybe we could act like we didn't hear Shawn yell at the top of his lungs inviting us to dinner, when he know damn well we not doing that, and he knows Syncere momma don't like us.” Essence said barely moving her lips. “Shawn, we have a reservation, so we can't add anymore people to the table. Plus we don't have enough room in the van for them, and this is a family event.” Sharon said, finally looking at them with a less then happy look on her face. “How is thi
Chapter 170A few hours before the competition: Unique and Unknown Unique was pissed after seeing how Syncere was acting around Essence it was clear to him something was going on between them. Essence was trying to play it off but he could see the way her eyes would linger on him a little too long or how they seem to always gravitate towards each other. This morning when he saw her, that's when he figured out that they had something going on. He knew because he had done the same thing with people he didn't want others to know he was dealing with. He immediately thought about Anthony, no one knew they were dealing with each other they hung out because of football, so people assume it was just a friendship base on football. He needed to change his plan if they were already involved then his initial plans were useless. He pulled out his phone and sent a text message to one of his homies outside of the school. He phone beeped a few seconds later, and it made h
Chapter 171The Pitt: 9pm Continued Essence, Kymoni, Unique, and Anthony: “Listen, I don't care if I have to take a spaceship, or teleport back to my dorm, I am not letting to dudes take my best friend home. What kinda drugs you on? You don't need to worry about me and how I will get back here.” Kymoni said, packing up her and Essence's food. “Look, I ALREADY SAID I WO….” “Hey what the fuck you yelling so loud?” Essence said, her eyes automatically snapped open, when Unique got loud. “Seems like he's getting pissed with me because I won't let him and Anthony take you home because you're too tired to drive yourself.” Kymoni said looking at Essence's whose eyes narrowed on Unique. “First of all, don't ever think you can talk to my friend any kinda way, that's the fastest way to get you cut and cut the fuck off. And just so we clear, whatever she says when it comes to me and my well-being is what the fuck it's gone be.” Essence said, suddenly wide awake, once s
Chapter 237Back inside the hospital: “Where is she? Where is my baby?” Eula, asked her sons as they filed into Essence's room. Once the air was cleared, the nurses came and escorted them back to Essence's room. They didn't have any answers to give her about her daughter. They were all trying to grasp what had happened, the janitors were cleaning up the mess and patching up the window Big C shot. “Momma by the time we got to her, she…. She wasn't… She wasn't breathing. We don't know for how long, we don't know anything at this point, all we know is that we weren't prepared for this kind of open attack. Once we got to her, we carried her down to the ICU floor and Doctor Angelic took her into surgery.” Kain said, as tears fell down his face. Shawn and Kymoni came through the door, Kymoni was looking lost like she didn't know where she was, she was silent, but her tears were flowing unchecked down her face, as Shawn guided her to a chair in the corner
Chapter 236The Hospital Enterance “Unk, there are two heading to the parking garage, leaving from the access elevator. Can you guys try and cut them off. Be prepared one of them has tear gas, more than one canister, it looks like that have an unlimited amount. There could be more men lying in wait, so keep an eye out.” Big C said in his ear piece. “Don't worry about these old fools, we have endured shit more lethal than tear gas.” Uncle Bubba said. “Just because we have endured it don't mean we liked it. Tear gas ain't fun, our eyes were red for a month when those cops sprayed us down with tear gas at that protest.” Uncle Ron said to his brother. “Would yall be quiet what’s the use of trying to sneak up on them and not letting them know we're coming, if yall going to run your mouth the entire time.” Their Uncle Junior whispered yell as he checked his guns making sure the safety were off his guns. “Just, cover your faces if they have tear gas let's expect them to toss them
Chapter 235Getting to Essence: Continued The pain instantly grew, causing Syncere to pause and try to cover his eyes. Then the first shot echoed in the air giving everyone pause. Big C and his brother all pulled their weapon immediately and took cover. Big C knew they had to find a way to even the playing field. He pointed at the windows in the hospital and fired six rounds, breaking the windows. The instant the windows broke the fog was sucked out almost immediately. As soon as he looked at the sprinklers, Martrice had already turned them on, he was behind the nurse’s station using his Hi-tech watch. He loved that his family knew what to do without him saying a word. When he looked again, he was able to see the armed men moving as a unit trying to block their path to Unique. He also saw Shawn running towards them with Kymoni covering Essence protectively. He knew he had to get his sister help, they didn't have time to fight this battle. Essence wasn't brea
Chapter 235 The VIP Floor Getting to Essence: “TEAR GAS EVERYBODY COVER YOURSELVES!” Kain yelled being the first to recognize what it was. They were all force to cover their entire face walking blind. The brothers had all been tested with tear gas in training and although they handled it better than anyone it still left them blind. “GET TO MY BABY, OH GOD WHERE IS SHE I CAN'T LEAVE UNTIL I KNOW SHE'S OK!” The all heard Eula scream, as someone tried to get them into one of the room where the gas wasn't. “MOMMA JUST GO WE WILL GET ESSENCE!” Kristian said, not knowing if he was lying to his mother or not. Big C pushed his mother and aunts into the closest room closing the door. He ripped his shirt off exposing nothing but pure muscles. He was a big man with not an ounce of fat, he was all muscle. People thought he was a gym rat, but he never stepped foot in a gym. No one could explain how he got a body like The Rock, when he doesn't even have a membershi
Chapter 233 The Hospital Showdown Continued: “Yall go ahead and stop coming this way, so just back the fuck up. Don't make me put a bullet through her chest and not her back this time. Please don't test me, because you already know what I'm capable of.” Unique said shoving Debra who cried out in shock. “Shut the fuck up bitch!” Unique said hitting her in the back of the head with his gun. Debra screamed but kept pushing the bed, she was trying not to make any sudden moves. “Please, just let my baby go, I will not try to come after you, just leave her here. She is too fragile to be going through this, I promise my family won't come after you if you just leave her here.” Eula said with her hands stretched out towards Essence praying that this man just let her go. She couldn’t bare it if he took her while they were all standing there. “Well Mother-n-law I'm afraid I might not be able to do that, because I am sure someone has called the cops and your family have
Chapter 232 Syncere and Shawn's apartment: “FUCK! WE GOTTA GO!” Syncere said rushing out of his room. Shawn and Kymoni were at our dining table eating a sandwich, while our parents were still there, sitting in their living room. Kymoni looked up at my face and saw the fear, and knew it was about Essence. She was afraid to ask any questions, she just got up grabbed her bag not bothering to put her shoes on as she went to the door. “Wait, son what's going on? Where are you going?” It's Essence somehow Unique got into the hospital and got to Essence. I knew something was wrong, I felt it when I was on the elevator, I knew I shouldn't have left. Fuck!” Syncere was saying as he looked for his keys. He knew they were in plain sight but he was so worked up he couldn't think straight. “Son, you need to calm down and take a breath. Why are you so in a rush to get back. That Unique boy is obviously dangerous, I don't think you should be going there, her family is
Chapter 231A few minutes early: “Hey isn't that Essence's nurse, I thought she was her head nurse or something like that" Kain asked as they got off the elevator, Martrice needed to check a better internet connection. He decided he would stay on the first floor because then internet connection was excellent on that first. He looked up at the nurse in question and frowned. “You're right, she was supposed to be with Essence full time. So she should be with Essence during these test. So what the hell is going on.” Martrice said as he began typing on his laptop. His alarm went off when one of the cameras he had installed on the ICU floors went off. He pulled up the footage and saw man holding his head down, like he knew where the cameras were and avoided them on purpose. A few seconds later the nurses’ station alarms went off in Leah's room. Martrice looked back at his laptop and watched as the man went into the rest room and came back out wearing different clothes.
Chapter 228Essence's room: “Alright folks we have Ms. Nelson settled and ready for her scan, you all can leave we have a special team coming in to do the test. Once we're done you will be paged to transport the patient back to her room. So please have someone on standby that can cover your patients until you're done.” The Financial manager said to the nurses. “Uh excuse me, I’m the nurse in charge of Ms. Nelson, why wasn't I inform that a special team was coming to do the test. Also I am required to stay with the patient, since I am the nurse in charge of Ms. Nelson's care.” Nancy said after the other nurses left. “Nancy there has been a change of plans, the family has requested the best people to test her. They have their own nurse they plan to use, you can head back to the VIP suites and wait for the call that the team is done testing.” “How about I wait here for the other nurse to get here, so I can pass along the notes about the patient. This is a
Chapter 229 Syncere and Shawn's apartment: Continued “Oh hey Kymoni, I didn't see you until just now. How’s your friend doing?” Briana asked with a smile on her face, she wondered why Kymoni didn't tell Shawn about their little talk in the hallway. Kymoni eyes held a comment full of cuss words, but she was trying to not let her mouth start some shit. “She’s, unconscious and they’re doing more test to find out what their next steps are. But I'm sure once this is over, she will be fine.” Kymoni said, her voice trembled a little bit as she talked, Shawn noticed and pulled her close. Susan's smile faltered a little bit, not use to seeing Shawn care for another woman. She only ever saw Shawn treat Briana with such care, so it was strange seeing him do that with someone while Briana was only a few feet away. “Shawn, I heard Syncere say he's missing a couple of games to spend at the hospital. Are you planning to do the same thing?” Susan asked, still not
