“Mi nuh care if a three a unuh or is a gang!” I yell. “Mi never trouble none a unuh or send guh call fi unuh” Wow Zara is really mad.
The other two girls run over to try defend their friend but I push the first one and start beating them both with the cane. The slim friend steps back. Dah one deh a coward. I look at Talia and she’s in pain.
She gets up angrily. “Just watch this bitch!” She says walking over to her car.
I grab my bag watching her and spot Clova and Sash blazing down the stairs. I look around and it looks like the whole town is gathering here, everyone talking at once.
“Zara yuh face!” Clova runs towards me.
“Who do this!?” Sash right behind her.
“Bombaat!” I hear someone says and everyone start scattering.
My heart reaches my throat when I see Talia. She has a gun pointing at me and I can’t lie... I’m scared. Who wouldn’t be? One shot and anything can happen. Oh God..
“I came here with this incase something like this happened,” she says pointing the gun at me. I stare at her and Sash holds my hand then Clova holds out her hand to Talia.
“No bother with this Talia you nuh need fi do all of this,” Clova begs.
“I’m tired of this stupid ass bitch!” She says, cocking the gun. “She’s messing up my life!”
“Doh move enuh girl,” A man tells me before he turns to Talia.
“Nuh matter what this situation is about yuh nuh need fi do this... unuh already fight and that’s it. Just done it,” a middle aged man says.
“I don’t care what none of y’all got to say... I’m gonna kill this bitch and I’m gonna do it no—” someone grabs her from behind and she shoots the wall. Everyone screams.
“The only person weh allowed fi seh dem wah kill har is me... not you,” I gasp when I see Gavin grabbing the gun from her.
A group of men grab her from behind unexpectedly. Instantly she starts kicking to get out of their grip, screaming and fighting. They manage to overpower her and walk away with her.
Such a wild girl! How uncivilised.
“Zara?” Gavin’s voice drags me from my thoughts. I stare at him as my eyes well up with tears.
I don’t know what to say. Maybe saying I’m traumatized is an understatement. This is the craziest day of my life. I got jumped and I almost died. Let it go.
He hugs me. “Look wah him mek nearly happen to you,” he says and I breakdown. There’s so much going on in my head right now.
Father God loves you, so no weapon form against you nah go prosper.
“I love you Gavin,” I sob, holding him tight.
He rubs my back. “I love you more.”
Sash and Clova hugs me. “A one a the craziest things me ever witness,” Clova sighs.
Sash is crying. “Now yuh come!?” Sash raises her voice and we look around.
It’s Nickoi, his brows pulled together, eyes like ice. I press my head in Gavin’s chest with tears flowing over my cheeks unendingly.
He comes closer to me. “What happ’m?” his voice deadly.
“Oh, your Latina bitch jumped her with har dutty foot friend them and then have the heart fi pull out gun pon myyyyy cousin!” Sash shouts at him. He stares at Sash for what feels like an hour before he looks at me.
“Zara?” he calls.
“Weh yuh deh call har fa go check yuh gyal them!” Sash snaps. “Go warn deh
