Three's a Charm

I have a story to tell you…

Chapter 1

Jenny, Lila, and me Cindy was just walking in the mall as we usually do. Then a guy called me. " Hey there sexy, where you going" he said as my back turned him. I didn’t bother to look back yet.

"Just shopping, why?" I said but didn’t turn yet. " Well hey nice booty" " what!?!" I turned and then I saw some fine guy looking right at me. I took a pause. Then I said, " I know huh?"

I smiled and turned around and as I was about to walk he said " Hey you taken?" " Well…" I said as I turned around. " No…why?" " Hey so you want to be my baby girl? Or be single with no man by your side" I giggled. "Okay then…but not cause I like you, I’m just giving you a chance."

I gave him my number and he gave me his. His name was jet. Well nice name I thought.

We got to my house. " Ooh girl you a player huh?" " You hook me up with one of his boys okay." jenny said.

I look at her as a "Get A Guy, Leave A Guy" type of person.

Haha, that’s why I like her so much, " well I give it a try"

Well now Lila, Lila she’s into that blonde hair blue eyes type of guy so she won’t like any of them. Well none of them will like her anyways, so yeah…anyways back to my story.

Jet called me. We were talking all night that my cell died. I was so mad but what ever. I don’t really remember what we were talking about. Oh well it don’t matter now.

Chapter 2

Jet and I has been going out for almost three months now. I feel so close and comfortable with him. He is also different than other guys I’ve dated. I hope our relationship will stay long forever and always…I hope.

I’m at school just thinking about jet every single second of my life. My friends think I’m crazy but guess what, I am so live with it.

I couldn’t wait to get home because he was taking my friends and I to the mall. He’s bringing his homeboys too so they can keep my friends company and leave us alone.

We did watch a movie. A very funny one too but yet was also sad. We went to a couple of stores to buy things.

" Hey baby you think we will be together forever?" he said holding my hands. " Why you say that?" I said as I looked at him. " Well…all the girls I’ve dated said that to me but it didn’t happen. It was like they were lying to me so I can love them and they can just use me, you see what I’m saying?" I thought for a minute. " Well you think I’m going to do that to you?" " No!" he said. I started to laugh at him.

" Why you laugh at me, you don’t love me?" " No I do, it’s just funny that you would answer so fast. To me it seems like you think I’m going to treat you the same way." I said. " Alright you don’t love me. I see how it is. Bye" jet said.

He ran. I chased after him. Then I stopped. " Your mean I’m going to cry." " Okay I’m sorry. I still love you. I was just playing." " What ever" I said and turned away.

Chapter 3

We stopped at his house just to chill a little bit. He has a nice house with really big rooms and everything. I thought he was rich or something but he only got this house because if his aunt and uncle. They were the rich ones.

We had lots of fun at his house. Well I know my home girls did. Jet and I just sat on the couch talking to each other. We might have played a couple of games with our friends but we did our own things most of the time.

Jet and I went to his bedroom. His room was really messy but I didn’t care though. His bedroom must have been really messy but he was nice and neat.

I sat on his bed. He sat next to me. He put his arms over me and held me tight. I felt so warm and tight in his arms. " Cindy?" he said. " Yes?" I said as I looked up.

Then he kissed me. He stopped. " Why did you stop?" I said looking at him. Then he kissed me again.

So I guess we was making out. I felt like I was in some other place. It was really noisy before we started kissing. Then when we did, it was quiet and no sound at all except for the sound of us.

Jenny was knocking on the door. " Cindy stop making love and hurry up! We need to go home." " Well I guess I’m going home now," I said to him all sad and everything. " Yep" he said.

We walked out of the room. Jenny and Lila were all ready. " Hurry! I got to go." She said stomping her feet. " Okay, be patient. Gosh." I said as I was getting my stuff. I hugged jet good-bye. As we were in the car jenny started to ask me these things.

" So Cindy…what you guys do huh?" she asked looking in the mirror so she could see me while she was driving. " Well…" I said hesitantly. " Come on, every single detail right now!" " Alright sheesh. Well I was sitting on his bed-" and then" she said interrupting me. " Can I finish?" "Yeah" "Well anyways, he sat next to me putting his arms around me then he said Cindy? Then he kissed me. See?" " Right. Uh-huh. Sure. I said everything." Jenny said.

" Come on it’s her business" Lila said. " But she is right. Every detail is every detail." " Shut-up Lila" I said pushing her head. " Okay. I’m just playing. Don’t have to push my head like that. Humph."

Then the rest of the way we were talking about what jenny and Lila and them were doing. We were making fun of them and the guys. It was a good time.

Chapter 4

Did I tell you I hated this girl named Jane? She gets of my nerves so bad. Every time when she sees me she mad dogs me. When she walks by me she says something like hoe or slut. She thinks I can’t hear her. Then when I say, " what you say to me?" she is all like "I didn’t say anything so get your facts straight." Then I role my eyes at her.

So today she better not do anything to me. But guess what she did.

She came up to me and pushed me. " Why the hell did you push me?! What you stupid or something." I said as I got back up. " I heard you was with my man." " Don’t know one want your ugly ass man. Neither does he want you!" I yelled at her " What you say!?" " You heard me stupid border hopper." Everybody is all like " oooh, she told you!" and all that other stuff.

She looked around all mad then she looked at me. Then she got her fist in my face. My face turned then as I turned back I got one in her face. I didn’t care to wait. I kicked her in the stomach. She fell then one of her hoes came in and punched me in the face. At that time jenny and Lila jumped in to help me.

I got back up and started hitting Jane, which was in the floor. Jane started smacking me in the face then as soon as someone grabbed my fist Jane got the last hit. She was just lucky this time though.

It was Mrs. smith, my history teacher.

As I got in the counseling center the principle gave me all these lectures. When he was asking me these questions I didn’t want to even answer him. I kept an eye on Jane. I know she wouldn’t give up. She was sitting down crying covering her face because she knew her face was jacked up.

We both were suspended. So were Jenny and Lila and who ever were in the fight got suspended.

I felt sorry for Jenny and Lila because it wasn’t their fight.

"Sorry for getting you guys in the fight." I said moving my sore jaw. " Naw man. We was just backing you up girl." Jenny said.

"Yeah we was just backing you up. You our home girl, we always there for you." Lila said. Well I’m just sorry." I said.

Chapter 5

Jet called me. " Hi babe" " hi. I got into a fight so I’m not in the mood so yeah." " Did you fight with that one girl Jane?"

"Yeah" " Is your face jacked up?" " No" I said. " Oh…if she did I beat her boyfriend up then," he said. Then I started to laugh. " Ahhh. That’s why I love you so much. You always make me smile even if I was sad or pissed-off." " I love you too baby." " Heh, heh…I love you too." He said.

We talked all night so long. Jenny was trying to call. She funny. She was all mad that the phone was all busy and she couldn’t get a hold of me. I was just laughing at her.

She brought up about what happened earlier. I was kind of mad but she just said that she would always back me up no matter who it is, except if it were Lila she would stop the fight. Not back up either one of us. She had a good point because even I wouldn’t do that. I would never have thought about that.

Then we did three way with Lila. We had fun talking to each other. Even if we see each other everyday we still talk on the phone with each other. People find that weird but I find that natural. Oh well forget what those people think of us. We don’t care we proud. I think…

Chapter 6

It has been a year since I’ve been with jet. I thought our relationship wasn’t going to last that long. Well this was the first long relationship I have ever had. I’m surprised. Well I don’t care I love him and he loves me.

I’m having a romantic dinner with jet. " How do you like your food honey?" Jet said to me. " It’s really good." I said, as my mouth was full. " Heh heh." Why are you laughing at me? " Your just so cute, childish, that sort of thing." " Oh, so your making fun of me huh?" " Yes and what are you going to do about it?" " Something…" " That’s what I thought you can’t do nothing about it."

We were at his house after the dinner. I thought he was going to propose to me. Well I am young. Nineteen is young but I love him so much.

We were the only one at his house. I was sitting on his lap and he was holding me. " I love you Cindy." He said. " I love you too baby." " Will you marry me?" he said as he pulled out the ring. But he wasn’t on his knees. I’m sitting on his lap and his arms around my waste. Wow that was even more romantic than the movies I cried on.

I just started to cry and turned around and kissed him. " Is this a yes?" " Yeah it’s a yes. But I’m too young." I said. "I know that’s why we get married hen you turn twenty which is in two months." He said. " Well what will my parents say?" " I don’t know. I don’t know them." " Yeah, oh well." He drove me home and now I had no idea what to tell my parents.

I just saw my mom in the house right now. Well that was okay because I know my mom will be all right with it. " Mom guess what?" " What?" " Jet proposed to me." " Oh my gosh are you serious?" " Have I ever lied to you?" she looked at me for a minute. " I wish you never said that." " Well I’m serious. He did and I love him mom." I said as I looked down. " I know you do but your pretty young." My mom said. " Well I am turning twenty in May. So is that still a problem?" " Oh your right." " So you all of sudden forgot my birthday!" I said looking very mad. " No huns, I’m getting old too you know." She said feeling her back. " Yeah you are. Sorry." " Well let’s just see what your father will say."

" WHAT?!!!!!!" my father yelled. I knew it was a bad idea. Then my mom started to talk to my dad about it. I went to my room. I was so scared that what if my dad would deny.

He came in my room. " Yeah, I’m okay with it. You can get married in July." I ran up to him and gave him a big hug. " Oh thank you dad, I love you so, so, so, so much." " Yes I love you too, now go to sleep."

Right when my dad left I called up jenny and Lila. " He proposed to you?" jenny said. " Yep and my parents accept." " No way. Wow your lucky…wait this means your leaving us." Lila said. " Yeah your right huh? I never thought of that." Jenny said. " No I’m not leaving you guys. I can visit you guys also." " Oh goodie." Lila said. " Well I got to go so talk to you guys later."

Chapter 7

My friends and I decided that we had to pick out a dress for me. " Oh my gosh look at that one it has laces in it." Lila said. " Naw, get the one with the line straight across the chest." Jenny said afterwards. " No that’s too slutty." Lila said shoving it in jenny’s face. " No it isn’t. What would you know? You don’t have style." Jenny said shoving it in Lila’s face.

" Okay stop it you two, just stop it! I’m the bride I should pick okay. You guys are just to help me, not give me problems." I yelled. They took a pause. " I’m sorry I yelled at you guys." " No we should be sorry. It’s just that your getting married and I don’t want to let you go." Lila said. " Yeah what she said." Jenny said afterwards. " Okay enough of this leaving stuff, let’s just have our last few months together fun okay."

So we got back to picking the dresses. The color of the wedding is going to be baby blue. I’m tired of the color white so I thought of baby blue.

Most of the day I just hanged with my friends. We went to the mall to hang out like old days. I still remember the spot when I met jet. When I go to the mall with jet we hang there most of the time. When I walked by there I felt something. I didn’t know what it was but it made me stop and thought a little bit. " Hey what’s wrong?" Jenny asked. " I have to go back home."

I rushed out there and went straight to jet’s house. I didn’t know how I felt this. It was just there. I didn’t know were or why I was going there.

As I got there, jet was hurt. His face looked like he got beat up by something and he was bleeding.

He was on the floor. I ran to him. I was so shocked that I couldn’t say anything. Jenny and Lila got here. They called the ambulance. We were at the hospital.

I fell asleep beside him hoping he was all right. I wondered who did this. Jet didn’t hate anybody or nobody hated him. I kept thinking so hard.

When I woke up jet was trying to wake me up. He was wearing his tuxedo. I was wearing my wedding dress. He pulled me up and we started to run. It was like we were running from someone. He was running so fast I could go no more. I fell, and then he picked me back up. We kept on running and running. I didn’t know why we were running. It felt so long. So we got to a dead end. He held me tight. " Never forget." He whispered in my ear. Then as I turned someone shot us. I didn’t know whether jet was dead or not I just saw him on the floor. Then I woke up crying.

Jet was still asleep. I kept looking at him wondering why I had that dream. Was I supposed to have it? I was so confused and scared.

Finally jet woke up. He saw me and was happy. " Hey." He said. " Hey. You feeling well?" I asked feeling his hair. " I’m feeling good. You look scared, what happened?" " Oh nothing. I just had a dream.

Till then I told him the dream I had. He said he didn’t really see who attacked him but whatever it was it wanted to kill jet. I wondered what if jet died when we was going to get married just like my dream. What would I do? Would I feel anger or depression? I wouldn’t be able to live no more. " I have to stop thinking about this." I thought to myself.

Chapter 8

It was my birthday. Everybody was there. My friends, jet and his friends, and my cousins. It was like having a feast but with a lot more people. We had lots of fun. Me and my friends and cousins had a plan. We had a lot of water balloons to throw it at the boys. The problem was they got us first.

We had a place to hide, which was in the house. If we were in the house they couldn’t get us but that was cheating. We didn’t care. We got to get them. We were stupid because when we run out of balloons they would get us. I never thought of that when we did run out of balloons.

One of the girls walked out of the house to go check. I told her not to go out there but she still did. We heard a scream then she came back in all wet. All of the girls were laughing then she had some balloons and threw it at us. She turned her back on us. Then we all scattered all over the place.

Right when she ran out of balloons I grabbed one that saved. I saw her and cornered her. I threw the balloon at her. Right then the boys came in and got all of us girls. Then I saw jet. We left to go out side.

I got towels for us to dry up a little bit. I was sitting next to him with his arms around me. He sang me a song. I never heard of the song but he would always sing it to me, plus it was really nice so I didn’t bother to ask him. But I was just now curious.

" Hey honey, what is that song anyways?" I asked. He looked at me then took a deep breath. " Well I didn’t tell you this but my mom isn’t really my mom. She’s my step mom." He said. " Well…why couldn’t you just tell me. I am your fiancé." I said kind of mad. " I didn’t want you to feel sorry for me so yeah. So the song I’m sing now is a song that my real mom sang to me when I was little. I still don’t know where she went. She just left. I still remember when she walked out of the door. Before she left, she held me tight and sang a little bit to me and just walked out of the door. I think it was because my mom and dad were arguing over something." He said holding me even tighter. " Well I forgive you not telling me earlier but I’m sorry to hear that. I still love you." I said giving him a kiss. " It’s all good, I love you too."

Chapter 9

The day came. When jet and I get married. Jenny was my bride’s maid. It was really hard to pick between Lily and jenny. But I guess Lila didn’t really want to do it.

I was still in the room dressing up for my dress. " Wow, Your actually getting married. You look so beautiful." Jenny said. She started to cry and gave me a hug. " Don’t worry jenny. I will always be your best friend. You too Lila." I said as Jenny and Lila and I was group hugging. " My little girl is growing up." Lila said and started to cry too. " Why are you guys crying? It’s supposed to be a happy day. So come on smile, for me. I said. " Oh okay." Said Jenny.

As I was walking down the isle, I saw jet. He looked so handsome, I couldn’t get my eyes of him, and I almost tripped too. As I got close to him something started shooting. Jet ran to me and threw me down so I won’t get shot. It was the same guy that was trying to get Jet. I didn’t see anything. I could see any thing because jet was covering me. All I could hear was screaming and gunshots.

As it was over jet’s body started to get light. I pushed him over trying to get him up. He didn’t get up. I started to cry. " Jet gets up. Don’t leave me in this world alone. Jet!!! Why? Why did you leave me? Why couldn’t you take me with you? Why?" I didn’t let go of his body at all. I held him tight. I felt sadness in me but also anger. I wanted to know who did this. I looked at him. He looked like he went somewhere happy. I knew he went somewhere good and happy.

A lot of people got injured but jet was the only one that died. They took is body. I didn’t stop crying. I didn’t even get to say good-bye or anything. It hurt so bad to have no last words to say to him. Jenny, Lila held me tight in their arms. I wouldn’t stop crying, Even if Jenny and Lila tried to comfort me.

Chapter 10

The day came when they had the funeral. This was the last time I would see him. I took one good look at him one last time. I just started crying so hard. It didn’t feel like I was looking at him. It looked like I was staring to thin air. As I touched him he was cold. Not the same warmth. I wish that I could see his smile one last time.

Even tough he was gone I felt like he was there with me. It felt like he was looking down at me. I knew that he knew what I was doing and I knew that he wants me to live on and never forget him. I know that he will always love me.

Then there were gunshots again. I looked again. It was the same guys. I guess they didn’t get enough. I ran to Jenny and Lila. We were trying to hide somewhere. Then we started to run. It was like my dream but it was Jenny, Lila and I running. I looked back and there was two guys chasing us. I kept on running. I kept telling Jenny and Lila don’t stop.

We got cornered then the two guys held their guns at us. We held each other so tight not letting go. " Never let go okay. And don’t forget about me. I will always remember you guys." Were my last words to Jenny and Lila. They just looked at me and nodded. My heart beats as I wish Jet were here with me. They’re smile scared me. I cried a tear and then they shot us. We fell unto the cold ground. I saw Jenny and Lila. They were gone. It gets dark and colder. I tried to keep up but the light goes away.

…This is my story.
