Part Two - Jason's Story.

Chapter 1 ..The perfect family..

I walked in my crib and seen her, I fell in love all over again. She was the perfect housewife, kept the house tidy, cooked my meals and looked after our son. She looked fly even in her housewife uniform which consisted of tracksuit bottoms and a baggy top. I walked over to her and handed her the perfectly wrapped present “Happy 18^th birthday baby” I said watching her open her present “OH MY DAYS! HOW MUCH WAS IT! OH MY DAYS I LOVE YOU! JAMILAH COME SEE WHAT YOUR BROTHER GOT ME!” Tyla shouted to my sister who was in the kitchen feeding my son and her godson. “HANG ON A MINUTE! How come I only get deadout gift vouchers for something like Tesco or something for my birthday but Tyla get’s some massive tonk ass chain with a WHATT IS THAT PURE DIAMONDS?!” Jamilah shouted at me. “Yes it is, and cause she’s my baby girl” I said back to her taking off my shoes and going into the kitchen to see my son. “DADDY! DADDY! DADDY!” he shouted when he clocked me he was only 3 years old but yet he had swag he had the newsest nikey’s and the addidas tracksuit bottoms and his little belcher chain and bracelet. I realised from then on that I had my perfect family. Jamilah went home to go collect her things and told us she’d be back soon. Me and Tyla sat on the sofa watching some film about a dog who talks we didn’t like it but it kept Junior amused but then he got bored of it and started messing about with our Japanese Akita, Buster. He ran around squealing for a hot half hour whilst Buster chased him around the house “TYSHARN BE CAREFUL!” Tyla shouted up the stairs. After a while he got bored of that too so he came and sat on my lap he was quite content with my belcher chain but then he looked Tyla in the eyes and asked her “Mummy, is Daddy my real Daddy?” he said looking at Tyla “Of course he is sweetheart” Tyla said “Because yanoe Lee at playgroup? He told me that Daddy wasn’t my real daddy and that my real Daddy was dead” he said still playing with my belcher. I watched Tyla’s face drop. She looked at me and I could tell she wasn’t happy about this. She got up and got her phone and went into the back garden.

Chapter 2 ..Just leave us alone..

All I could hear was her shouting down the phone to someone telling them to stay out of her business. She was out there for a long time and in that time Jamilah came back. “Where’s Ty?” she asked me. I moved my eyes to the back garden where you could see Tyla pacing up and down like a mad woman shouting at someone getting really angry. “Do me a favour and take Tysharn up for his bath please” I said to my sister “Alright, come on Tysharn we can go make a swimming pool again!” Jamilah said to her godson “YAAAY!” Junior squealed. When I heard them get upstairs I decided to wait for Tyla to come back in. After about 10 more minutes of plain shouting it went quiet so I decided to investigate. Tyla looked at me crying and it made me wanna cry because I don’t like seeing her upset. I went to give her a hug and she started to cry even more than she was before. “All she had to say was ‘it wasn’t my son it wasn’t my son’ and ‘it’s not his fault he picked up on it’ what did I ever do so wrong Jason?” she asked me. I held her in my arms as she wept. “Baby you did nothing wrong, you’re the best mum Junior could have gotten you take such good care of him and our son’s got such good manners even though he’s only 3 don’t get upset over her baby she’s not worth your tears I love you to much to see you upset” I said trying to comfort her. She kissed me and we went back inside because it started to rain. Tyla wiped away her tears and went back into the living room where Jamilah and Tysharn were watching some next foolishness movie. Tyla went and sat next to her son, she then picked him up and sat him on her lap and rested her head on his whilst hugging him tight. She looked at my sister and my sister looked back and smiled for the first time in ages. We all sat and watched the foolishness until Junior fell asleep. “I’ll take him upstairs before he wakes up again” Tyla said to me and Jamilah. She carefully got up and went upstairs to put her son in bed. “What’s good then sis? Hows you and your man Julius? Am I gonna have to deal with him?” I asked Jamilah her eyes fixed on the television screen. She laughed “Not a lot yanoe bro just the same old same old” she said eyes still fixed on the television screen. She looked at me fear in her eyes. I knew my sister, something was wrong.

Chapter 3 ..My Sister Jamilah..

“What’s up sis and don’t give me no shit about you’re fine either” I said to her “Nothing” she replied “YOU BEST TELL ME NOW! If that dickheads done anything to you I’ll kill a man!” I shouted at her. Tyla came running down the stairs wondering what all the commotion was about. “Can you keep it down please, Junior’s asleep” she said looking at both mine and Jamilah’s facial expressions. She went and sat next to my sister and hugged her. “I’m going out man you two can talk about this” I told them both and walked out the door. As soon as I shut the door I could hear my sister crying and Tyla comforting her. I got in my whip and sped off down the road, I decided I was going to my Mum’s house because maybe she might know what’s up with Jamilah. I knocked on the door and Tyla’s mums Charlotte come to the door. “Hello Jason!” she said hugging me. “You better be taking good care of my daughter and my grandson!” she said smiling at me “I am Mrs Reynolds don’t you worry” I replied politely “What is it with you and your sister calling me that?! Call me Charlotte if you like I don’t bite yanoe!” She said stepping aside and letting me in. I walked into my living room and seen my mum and my dad and Tyla’s dad all laughing and joking over the film that my dad, Michael, and Tyla’s dad, Trevor, decided to rent from Blockbusters. I said hello to them all and then I beckoned to Mum to come into the kitchen so I could get some answers over what was wrong with my sister. “You want something to eat? Or drink sweetheart?” Mum asked me. “No thanks, Tyla made me dinner and I’ve not long had it, a drink wouldn’t go a miss though” I replied. She took out the Ribena cordial bottle and made me a glass of Ribena. “Here ya go sweetheart” Mum said handing me the glass. I took it from her and drank some of it then looked at Mum she knew I knew that something was wrong with Jamilah. “Jason I know what this is about but don’t, please just don’t she made me swear not to tell anyone she told me out of confidence she didn’t have to tell me but she did” Mum said looking me square in the eye. “Mum tell me or I’ll have to get it out of her!” I told mum. She looked at me and sighed. Then she said “Your sister had a miscarriage a week ago.”

Chapter 4 ..I can’t believe it..

Mum started to cry as she told me that she never seen Jamilah for a while, then she didn’t come out her room yesterday. Then when Mum went in to go check on her she was crying and when my Mum asked her what was wrong, she told her nothing but after Mum almost bullied it out of her Jamilah told her how she found out she was pregnant 2 months before and that she told Julius he beat her up and she had a miscarriage. And when she was in hospital my Mum just thought she was spending the night at Julius’ as she told Mum she was going to see him. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing I hugged Mum and told the rest of them goodbye. I then got in my car and drove back home. When I opened my front door I walked in and went to listen to the conversation they were both having. “Why didn’t you tell me Jamilah?” Tyla asked my sister “Because I was scared, I didn’t know what to do and I didn’t tell anyone B” she replied starting to get hysterical. I could hear Junior screaming for his Mummy but I went up all the same. “MUMMYYYY! MUMMYYYYY! I WANT MY MUMMYYYY!” he screamed “Daddy’s here its okay, Daddy’s here” I whispered. I went to his bed and lay next to him, he climbed up on my chest and I pulled the quilt over us both. I listened as he slept. I watched him as he moved his dummy up and down in his mouth he looked like Maggie off Simpsons. I was drifting asleep when Tyla walked in and woke me up. I put Junior in his bed took his dummy out and went downstairs. “Jamilah’s downstairs, now I’m going for a bath, I’ll be down in about an hour” she said kissing me. I walked down the stairs as Tyla began to run her bath. I opened the living room door to find Jamilah watching MTV Base. She clocked me and got up. I opened my arms for a hug and she began to cry once more. “He’ll get what’s coming to man just you watch me” I told her. I held my baby sister as she cried and cried and cried. She never normally cries so I knew it really hit home hard. I wanted to take the pain away from her but I wasn’t able to do that so I decided to do the next best thing. I was going to kill Julius. First I had to track him down, because pussyhole man had moved out of town.

Chapter 5 ..The search is on..

I woke up this morning feeling criss. I turned to my left and my wife was laying there. She looked so perfect even when she slept and I couldn’t help but kiss her. Just then Junior came running in and jumped on our bed “DADDY! GET UP! GET UP! GET UP! There’s a man at the door and he’s shouting at Jam-Jam!” he said. Tyla’s a heavy sleeper and didn’t even budge. I dragged on some clothes and went downstairs. I told Junior to stay in his room no matter what happened and no matter what he heard. I listened again as I heard my sister getting upset telling the person to go. I then heard something slam on the wall so I darted outside, moved my sister out the way swung for man and got the guy straight in his jaw. I then realised who it was. Julius. I got man outside and punched him some more kicked him a few times. “WHAT SO YOU THINK YOUR SOME BIG MAN BEATING MY SISTER UP! I’LL SHOW YOU HOW REAL BIG MAN GET DOWN INIT!” I shouted at him rage in my voice. “FUCK YOU FAM!” I carried on. I was beating him up some more when I heard Tyla come down the stairs. “JAMILAH! What’s happened?! Where’s your brother” I heard her ask my sister. She then clocked on to all the shouting and went outside. “JASON GET OFF HIM! I THOUGHT YOU’D SAID YOU’D CHANGED!” she shouted at me “Yeah, listen to your bitch” Julius said “TYLA GET BACK INSIDE! I CAN DEAL WITH A MAN INIT!” I said and watched her go back inside to take care of my sister. After a while of fighting I let him go and told him if he ever came near me or my family again I’d kill a man. “You think you’re a big man init? Your son’s not even your son! It’s next mans sperm!” he said picking himself up off the ground I swung for him. I walked back in my house and seen Junior playing with Buster. Buster ran out into the garden and Junior followed him. I heard Julius’ whip revving up. Tyla went to the window and screamed. She ran outside to where Junior lay crippled on the pavement. Julius tried to kill him. Junior lay there not breathing and not moving. “SOMEBODY CALL A FUCKING AMBULANCE MY BABY’S DYING!” Tyla shouted.

What happened next? Well, not even I could have predicted that…

Chapter 6 ..2 months later..

I couldn’t believe he was gone; it still hadn’t sunk in yet. I stood looking at the grave and I held Tyla as she cried, she was hysterical. She stood looking over the grave and placed some fresh flowers on top of it. We drove back home and the house was quiet. She didn’t even want to eat when I made her a sandwich when we got back. She went upstairs crying. “Mum, I miss him so much and it’s my entire fault he’s gone” I could hear her on the phone to her mum. Just then there was a knock at the door. Jamilah and Junior stood there. “DADDY LOOK WHAT JAM-JAM GOT ME! LOOK DADDY LOOK!” Junior said pointing to the many bags Jamilah had in her hands. My sister had been spoiling Junior ever since he’d come out of hospital a week ago. Luckily, Julius hadn’t done any lasting damage to my son. Just a broken arm but Junior thought that was cool. Where’s Ty?” she asked me “Upstairs, you know what day it is init?” I said to a gone out Jamilah. “OHHHH YEAH! Tysharn’s 21^st birthday” she said looking at me. I put the television on for Junior, gave him yoghurt and some juice then went into the kitchen to reason with my sister. “Jam, you know if Mum didn’t tell me about what happened, would you have ever told me?” I asked my sister “Erm…” she started. I looked at her square in the eye. “Yeah, I would of obviously but when I felt ready to. Why?” she carried on. “I don’t think you would of somehow” I replied. She just stood there looking at me. “MUMMY! MUMMY! MUMMY!” I could hear Junior shouting Tyla so I figured that she was with him. Jamilah looked at me then at the floor. “I’ve got a next man now anyway” Jamilah said. “When can I meet man?” I said to her. She got out her phone, and was fiddling with it for about 30 seconds. “Now, he’s coming to meet me now” she said. “Back in 20” she said running out the front door. I dropped Junior to Tyla’s mum’s then come back to wait for Jamilah. I sat on the sofa, with a glass of baileys in one hand and the television remote in the other. Tyla came in laughing for the first time all day “HAHAHA YOU LOOK LIKE HOW MY DAD DID WHEN HE MET YOU! YOU OLD MAN!” Tyla said “Ohh…you’re meeting Tayler right?” she said smiling at me “Wait, how do you know a man?” I asked her “He’s in my year, Jamilah and Tayler was close, but I never knew how close they was till I seen the texts on her phone.” She laughed to herself, and then went in the kitchen to pour herself some rosé.

Chapter 7 ..My sister’s boyfriend Tayler..

Tyla opened the door and stepped back so they could both come in. I sat there and waited for my first glimpse of Tayler. Jamilah walked in holding his hand, like say he was scared. “Erm, Jamilah can you please come help me with some stuff” Tyla said to her best friend. Jamilah took a few seconds to click on to what she meant and then kissed Tayler and walked away. There was an awkward silence. “You want a drink?” I asked him and he shook his head and said “No thanks, don’t drink” I turned on the Xbox and passed Tayler a controller and he leant forwards ready to play “You think you can beat man then yeah?” I asked him “FO SURE!” he said coming out of his shell. We played on the Xbox for quite a while talking about what he did for a living and what he didn’t do. I liked the sound of this one, he didn’t drink or smoke, he got B’s in all his GCSE’s and he went Uni. I asked him if he’d slept with my sister and truthfully he said yes. I wanted to bang a man but at least he was honest. Jamilah came back downstairs followed by Tyla. “I approve” I told my sister and she smiled back at me. We decided to watch Adulthood and we all said that Jay was a battyman for not shooting Sam when he had the chance. I sat and watched as Tayler slyly put his arm around my sister. They went upstairs, a part of me wanted to tell ‘em to get back downstairs but she wasn’t my baby sister anymore was she. “I’m so proud of you yanoe, not every brother would have done that” Tyla said looking at me. She started to cry quietly to herself. I knew she missed her brother and she’d do anything to get him back. We watched some television and waited for the two love birds to come back down. Tyla got up and went into the kitchen got another bottle of wine and came back to sit in the living room. “TYLAAAAAAAA!” I could hear my sister from the top of the stairs “What?” she replied “Come here obviously” Jamilah said to Tyla as she was walking up the stairs “OH MY GOD? WHAT?!” Tyla asked my sister. “Jason, you need to get ready and go to the hospital” Tyla said looking at me. “Why, who’s there for me to see?” I asked her, my eyes still on the television. “Your Mum” Tyla said.

Chapter 8...Return of the fool...

Jamilah came down the stairs fully dressed and followed me out the door, we sped to the hospital and we were met by Dad who found Mum beaten to a pulp in the hallway when he came home from work. We went into the room and Jamilah started crying, because her and mum was always close. I looked at Mum for about 10 minutes and it got too much so I went outside to ring Tyla to fill her in on what’s gone on. Whilst we were on the phone there was a knock at the door. “What the fuck do you want?” Tyla asked the person “Revenge is sweet” the person said “Jason will be back soon, you should go” she told the person “I’m sure he’s more busy with his mum that to be bothered about what I’m doing” the person said and from that I knew what he was talking about. “MOVE FROM HER!” Tayler had finally realized what was going on “OR WHAT?!” Julius asked “WHAT?! YOUR GONNA DRAW FOR THE KNIFE ARE YOU?” Tayler stepped to Julius. By this point I’d got in my car and I was on the way home. I decided to park round the corner as not to draw attention to myself. I got the gun out of my glove box and ran as fast as I could to my yard. I saw Tayler chasing someone down the road right towards me. I hid in the bushes until I could hear the footsteps getting closer. I pounced on him and started punching him up. "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU’RE TRYING?! TRYNA BEAT MY MUM UP YEAH? WANT ME TO DEAD YOU RIGHT NOW" I said to him with my gun on his temple. "Pull it then!" Julius said to me getting all brave "DON'T THINK I WON'T BADBOY!" I replied back to him! Tayler had stopped about 5 paces away from me he looked at me scared. Tyla ran up to where we were and Tayler held her back "CUZ! IF THIS TRIGGER GETS PULLED, KILL HER!" Julius said to Tayler. "Cuz? You two are FAMILY?!" I asked Tayler "OI DON'T ANSWER NO QUESTIONS TAY!" Julius said to Tayler. I turned to Tyla and I could tell she was holding it down. "LET HER GO MAN! SHE'S GOT A YOUTE!" I warned Julius. "Let me go and you can have her" Julius tried to reason with me. I looked at Tyla once more. "Let her go first, and I’ll let him go Tayler" I said, Julius nodded to Tayler to let Tyla go. "Ty, go in the house, don't come out till I get back" I told Tyla and she ran back but stopped so if anything did go off, she could easily get away. I let Julius go and told him to leave me and my family alone. "Your fams scum" he said with an evil glare in his eye. I didn't know whether to lick him down or let him walk. Julius grabbed Tayler and they got off. I rang Tyla to tell her I was okay, got in my car and drove round the corner to my crib. I got out the car and heard another one speeding round the corner. I got on the pavement and opened my front door. I looked back and there was a black object being pointed out of the window of a car. BANG.

Chapter 9 ..Tyla's thoughts..

I heard a bang and ran down the stairs, Jason lay there in a pool of blood. I rang an ambulance and waited for it to come. I held Jason's hand whilst we were in the ambulance and he smiled at me every so often the drifted out of consciousness. Jason was wheeled into theatre for an emergency operation. I rang Jamilah and told her what had happened and to tell her dad on a low so we wouldn't upset Jamilah's Mum. Jamilah came running round the corner of the hospital block, I hugged her tightly as she sobbed on me, I calmed her down and told her and her Dad what had happened. We waited for what seemed like hours and finally a surgeon came out of the operating theatre. "Jason's going to be okay, he had a bullet lodged in his stomach, he could have died had anybody not realised he had been shot" The doctor said. I held Jamilah's hand as she looked at her brother. As I stood there looking at Jason, bad memories of when I found my older brother Tysharn dead in my Mum's living room. I tried to hold the tears back but it failed. Jamilah hugged me tightly "He'll be okay B, truss" Jamilah told me. The next morning I woke up to find Jason smiling at me. "BABY!" I shouted at him, I jumped up and hugged him gently. "Tyla, I’ve never told you this, but, your hair smells so nice, smells like strawberries and cream" Jason told me. I smiled at him and woke Jamilah up with a kick under the hospital bed. "WHAT MAN WHAT?!.........JAYYYYYYYY!" Jamilah said looking at her older brother. I rang Mum and Jamilah rang her parents and told them that Jason was okay and he was awake. My Mum took me back to hers and my Dad was playing with Junior, Dad looked at me and smiled and watched as Junior ran into my arms. "I'm so proud of you yanoe sweetheart, Junior's a well mannered young man!" Dad said to me. I smiled back and played with my son after we had dinner. "Ty, why don't you stay here until Jason's out of hospital sweetheart? I don't want you there alone" Dad said to me looking worried. I thought for abit, maybe it was the safest thing to do. "Okay" I said to Mum. We got in the car and went back to my house I got 2 suitcases down from the top of my wardrobe, one for me and one for Junior. I packed the stuff until the cases couldn't handle no more. We loaded up the car and went back to Mum's house. I took the cases up the stairs and stopped at Tysharn's bedroom door. My fingers traced the outline of the door knob. I hadn't been in there ever since I found out how he'd died. I carried on walking to my room and unpacked the two cases. "MUMMYYY! LOOK WHAT NANA GOT ME! LOOK! LOOK! LOOK!" Junior came running in with a bangle on his wrist. "Where'd you find that Mum? Must of cost you alot" I said inspecting the bangle. "It was your brothers, he told me to give it to Junior when he was born, but I had forgotten about it until the other week when I found it at the back of my wardrobe." Mum told me. I felt a lump in my throat. I hugged Mum, and then Dad came in to give Junior his bath. After I’d put Junior to bed, I got my bath and got my Pyjamas on then me and Mum fell asleep on the Sofa watching Kidulthood. I didn't even feel when my dad carried me to my bed.

TWO MONTHS LATER.

 Still I rise, still I fight, see a hater tell 'em hi, one day i'll remember this, one day you'll remember this, nothing I ever do is for you. I moved my arm out of my bed covers and reached for my phone. "Hello?" I said half asleep. "Ty, where are you? I need to talk to someone" Jamilah said to me crying. "Okay b, I'm at my Mums" I told her finally waking up. I heard my Mum answer the door. "What's up Sweetheart?" I heard my Mum ask Jamilah. I got up and went to the top of my stairs, my Mum was hugging Jamilah as she cried, in all the years I’ve known her I’ve never actually known her to be like this, she was hysterical. "I'm pregnant, and Jason told me to abort it" Jamilah told Mum.

Chapter 10 ..He shoulda put something on..

I led Jamilah to my room and Mum took Junior downstairs for his breakfast. I sat Jamilah down on my bed. She sat there and cried. "How can HE tell ME to abort MY baby?" Jamilah said stuttering because of the tears. I hugged her and told her everything was going to be okay. "How far gone are you hun? And who's is it?" I asked Jamilah, she looked at me. "3 months" Jamilah told me. My maths isn't all that brilliant but I thought back roughly 3 months ago and I thought about who the Dad was. "Tayler?" I asked my best friend. She broke down in tears and I knew that meant yes. I gave her a hug and comforted her. There was a knock at my bedroom door "Come in" I said to the person. "You two hungry? I can make you some breakfast? Pancakes with lots of Maple Syrup sound good?" Dad said to me. "That brings back memories" Jamilah said perking up. We always used to have Pancakes and Maple Syrup when we had sleepovers at mine when we were little. Dad closed my door and I heard his footsteps going down the stairs. "What am I gonna do Ty?" Jamilah said looking at me. Normally Jamilah had all the answers, she was the stronger one, but now, I knew I had to be the strong one for a change. "I'll talk to your brother b, don't worry about it for now okay" I said to Jamilah "Thanks Ty" Jamilah replied. "GIRLS! FOOD!" Dad called up the stairs. We walked out of my room and went to the kitchen. "Thanks Trevor" Jamilah said to Dad, he went over and kissed her on her forehead. It was like Jamilah was my adopted sister because that's how she was treated and I was treated the same at Jamilah's. There was a knock at the door and Mum went to get it. "Is Jamilah here?" the person asked. Mum led the person into the kitchen and pulled Dad's arm out of the kitchen and into the living room, they closed the door behind them. There was an awkward silence. Jamilah couldn't even bring herself to look at her brother. "When did you get let out of hospital?" I asked Jason. "This morning, but enough of the dumb questions. What I wanna know is...WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU GOING TO KEEP THAT FUCKING DICKHEAD'S YOUTE?!" Jason started shouting at Jamilah. "Calm down" I told Jason. "NO I WILL NOT FUCKING CALM DOWN! I WILL CALM DOWN WHEN MY SISTER GET'S SOME SENSE, IS SHE STUPID SERIOUSLY?!" Jason shouted as if Jamilah wasn't even there. Jamilah's fist started shaking and I could tell she was getting angry, it's her trait. "JAMILAH, ARE YOU SERIOUSLY STUPID AND DUMB? YOU’RE GETTING RID OF THAT DEVIL'S SPAWN!" Jason carried on and Jamilah snapped. "WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TO TELL ME WHAT I CAN AND CAN NOT DO?! YOU’RE MY ELDER BROTHER NOT MY DAD! NOT EVEN DAD COULD MAKE ME DO IT! SO YOU CAN KEEP YOUR BREATH AND SHUT UP." Jamilah shouted in Jason’s face. I got up and broke them apart. They were still arguing until it got physical. Jamilah punched Jason and gave him a nose bleed. "DO YOU WANT ME TO FUCKING KILL THAT YOUTE MYSELF? DON'T YOU DARE PUNCH ME AGAIN INIT CAUSE I SWEAR I WILL.." Jason started. "You will what? PUNCH ME?! KILL MY BABY?! DO IT! IF YOU’RE A FUCKING BIG MAN YOU'LL DO IT!" Jamilah shouted at her brother. Jason punched Jamilah. "JASON! LEAVE HER ALONE!" I told Jason moving him from Jamilah. He shrugged me off too strongly. I tripped, and hit my head on one of my Mums kitchen units. "TY! I'm sorry" Jason said helping me up. "GET OUT! JUST GET OUT!" I shouted at him and he did as he was told and walked out of the kitchen and out of Mums house slamming the door so the letterbox shook. I helped Jamilah up and told her to sit down and rest herself. "He's a dick" Jamilah said looking at me. "I know his is babe, I know, just leave him for abit" I replied to her. She went into the living room and kissed her Godson goodbye. She then kissed my Mum and Dad on the cheek and came to me and hugged me like she'd never see me again. "Want me to drop you home darlin'?" Mum asked Jamilah. "No thanks, I need some time to think anyway" Jamilah replied stepping out of house. I walked her to the bus stop and we waited until the bus came. I hugged her and told her to ring me as soon as she got home. She got on the bus and waved me goodbye. I walked back to my Mum's house. Got in the bath and got changed. I spent the rest of the day playing with Junior. I then put him in bed after he'd had his bath. Read him a story tucked him in and watched as he drifted off to sleep. I kissed him goodnight and drifted off to sleep. Still I rise, still I fight, see a hater tell 'em hi, one day I’ll remember this, one day you'll remember this, nothing I ever do is for you. "What the hell does he want" I said rejecting the call. I did this a further 13 times then I finally answered. "WHAT?!" I asked Jason. "Is my sister at yours?" Jason asked me. "No, she went home why?" I replied. "Cause she's gone missing" Jason told me.

Chapter 11 ..Back to Jason's world..

I listened as Tyla began to cry "Waddyamean she's gone missing! She can't have!" Tyla said to me. We spoke for a while longer then she told me she had to go get ready and I should come get her in a few hours time. I held my Mum as she cried "Where is she? Why is her phone off?" she asked me. I wish I knew the answers. I rang the local hospital and she wasn't there. I rang her friends from school and none of them had seen her recently. I wanted my baby sister back. I thought about when I’d last seen her, and if what I did made her runaway. Mum waited for the police to get to our house anxiously. I let them in. "Is this her?" PC Robinson said holding up a picture of me and my sister. "Yes it is" Mum said starting to cry. "When did you last see her? Was there any reason for her to runaway from home?" they asked us. "I last seen her yesterday, when she was at my girlfriend's parents house. I punched her, and pushed my girlfriend over accidentally so I left to calm down" I told PC Robinson "YOU WHAT?!" Dad said, rage in his eyes. "GO ON THEN DAD PUNCH ME UP LIKE I PUNCHED HER! DO IT DAD DO IT!" I shouted "THE PAIR OF YOU CALM DOWN!" Mum told us pulling Dad of me. After we'd both calmed down PC Robinson carried on with the questions. "Why did you punch her?" Pc Robinson asked "It's complicated, basically she's pregnant with a man's baby who's cousin nearly killed my girlfriend's son, shot me and killed her baby" I said to them "Oh right" PC Robinson said and looked at his workmate, PC Henry. They asked us a few more questions and left the house. "Jason what do you mean you hit your sister?" Mum asked me looking hurt. "She asked for it Mum, I'm sorry" I told Mum "YOU WILL BE BLOODY SORRY WHEN SHE LOSES THAT BABY! TRUST ME JASON! IF SHE LOSES IT! THEN YOU CAN GET LOST! DON'T YOU THINK SHE'S BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH?!" Mum was getting all physco on me. I went to go pick up Tyla and Junior from Tyla's Mums house and we went home. We waited for some news on Jamilah but no news ever came. Tyla walked into the cold house and went to stick the heating on. I heard something crash to the ground. "TY?!" I shouted. I walked in the kitchen to find Tyla dazed and confused broken plates around her. I helped her onto her feet and sat her down on one of the table chairs. I gave her some Lucozade to get her blood sugars up. She looked at me. "Do you promise NEVER to leave me? No matter what?" Tyla asked me looking me right in the eye. "Obviously" I replied. "Seriously? Truthfully?" Tyla said looking at me still. "Tyla your scaring me" I told Tyla. "Jason, your gonna be a daddy."

Chapter 12 ..Daddy, Daddy cool..

"Are you being serious?" I asked Tyla and she nodded "How do you know? How far gone are you? When did you find out?" I asked her "I've taken 6 tests, had all the symptoms and the doctor said so babe, 4 months and I found out when you was in hospital, I didn't wanna say anything though" Tyla told me. Then it hit me, I pushed her over yesterday. "Wait, you sure you’re okay? After yesterday?" I asked Tyla "Yeah, fine baby, promise" Tyla told me, I pulled her in for a hug and held her tightly. Junior came running in squealing, Buster chasing him. "Ty, to be honest I just thought you'd stopped going gym" I joked. Tyla poked me and told me to watch it. I walked into the passageway and took the cases upstairs. "I could have done that, I'm pregnant, not disabled" Tyla told me. "Just go rest yourself!" I told her. She did as I said and told me she was going to bed because she felt ill. I sat down with my son and we watched a few Disney films. "Shall we take Mummy a nice cup of tea and some food up?" I asked Junior he nodded and ran into the kitchen. I walked into the bedroom and dropped the tray on the cream carpet. Tyla sat outside of her bed, her head leaning on top of it. "Jason..." she said looking at me scared she looked pale and like she was going to pass out again. I took her to the hospital where they connected her to a monitor so they could monitor our baby's heartbeat. I rang Tyla's parents. "What's happened Jason?" Tyla's mum, Charlotte asked me. "Tyla's pregnant" I told Charlotte and Trevor. "OH MY! And she didn't even tell anyone?" Charlotte said looking scared. "She found out when I was in hospital and thought it could wait" I replied "What's up with her? Is the baby okay?" Charlotte carried on "She collapsed earlier, then she told me, after that she felt fine and went to bed early and when me and Junior took her some tea and some food up she didn't look too good and she couldn't move because it hurt too much" I told Charlotte. "YOU PUSHED HER OVER YESTERDAY DIDN'T YOU! ANYHOW MY GRANDCHILD DOESN'T MAKE IT THROUGH THIS I'LL KILL YUH!" Trevor shouted at me. "NOO! LEAVE HIM ALONE HE DIDN'T KNOW DAD STOP IT PLEASE!" Tyla shouted into the corridor. She was in so much pain and it was my entire fault. The doctors said she was lucky and she'd be fine but they wanted to keep her in overnight just to make sure. She was allowed home the next day and she took it easy for the next few days.

Chapter 13 ..14 years later..

We'd given up hope, it's been 14 years and 6 months since Jamilah went missing. I think about her everyday and I know Tyla misses her. Junior doesn't remember Jamilah disappearing, we told him she'd moved away for a while. I sat watching a film on the television. I heard the key go into the door, turn and the door handle go down. Junior walked in carrying his Mother's bags and dropped them on the living room floor, he then flopped onto the sofa. "Long day son?" I joked with him "Mum's long, it took her AN HOUR to decide on what we was going to have for dinner tonight" Junior replied cheekily "What we having then?" I asked him "CHINEESE!" Tyla said walking in the door with the remainder of the bags. Junior took in the food bags and started putting them away in the kitchen. "You’re a good lad!" Tyla said pinching her son's cheeks "MUMMMMM!" he said moving away. Tyla laughed and walked back into the living room. "All that is party food for tomorrow right?" I asked Tyla "Yes it is, I need to buy the alcohol tomorrow though!" Tyla said loud enough for Junior to hear. He came back into the living room and kissed his Mum sweetly on the cheek. Tyla rang in the order for the Chinese and went for her bath. "Dad...?" Junior wanted something "What do you want and how much is it going to cost me?" I asked him "Well, I want some advice, I like this girl, and i've invited her tomorrow, I really really really really like her, we've lipsed and ting but I want her to be wifey init" Junior started talking kids language again. I pulled him a face and he explained that he wanted to go out with this girl. I told him to take time and not to get her pregnant. "Dad, I’m not going to get her pregnant" Junior replied embaressed. "How did you meet Mum? And how did you ask her out?" Junior asked me. "Well, kidda. Me and your Uncle Tysharn was close. And I asked her out the day you were born." I told Junior. He sat there playing with his earring. "Yeah but how? What did you say to her?" Junior asked me. "Follow your heart son" I said getting up to go raid the fridge for a nice cold Super Malt. We ate our food whilst watching telly. Junior left us after he'd had his dinner and was in his room. Me and Tyla went to bed early, because we had to be up early.

Chapter 14 ..Junior's 17th Birthday..

I woke up the next morning feeling very excited for my Son's birthday. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!" Tyla and I sang whilst Tyla walked in with a cake for Junior to blow out. "When's Mia coming back from her sleepover Mum? I miss the runt" Junior asked Tyla. "HERE I AM! BOOM! NO PARTY IS A PARTY WITHOUT ME!" Mia ran in and gave her brother a big birthday kiss. Mia was the spitting image of her mum, she had her green eyes and long brown hair. Obviously she had the looks off me, but that's debatable. "Junior, you like Sharna don't you?" Mia asked her older brother. "SHUT UP AND GO AWAY!" He told her, she walked out the door to start getting ready for the party. I watched Tyla get ready. She really was one of them yummy mummys. 30 years old but she still had it. I walked into the back garden, Tyla transformed it and I looked around the garden it looked pretty amazing. Guests started arriving and Tyla let her hair down, she wasn't like other mums, she was a fun but safe mum. She knew all the words to the newest songs and the latest dances and wasn't afraid to show the kids what her Momma gave her! Junior was dancing with a girl, she had long brown curly hair, just like my sister did. "GET AWAY FROM HER INIT!" Junior started shouting at one of his man. "JUNIOR LEAVE IT!" Mia pleaded with him "NO! WHY SHOULD I?! MANS LIPSING UP MY SISTER! EVERYBODY CAN GO HOME NOW INIT! LLOW THE LOT OF YOU!" Junior said storming into the house, the girl who he was dancing with shouted after him, before going to get him. Everybody obeyed Junior and left, Mia stood there looking at her Mum "He's a batty" Mia said under her breath Tyla laughed and told her to go see where her brother got to. She came running back into the garden. "MUUUUM! THEY'RE LIPSIN!" Mia came screaming into the garden. We started clearing up and Junior led the girl into the garden. I could tell that my son was in love. "Mum, Dad, this is Sharna" he told us "Nice to meet you sweetheart! Not seen you around before, you new to the place?" Tyla asked "Erm, yeah I only moved up here 2 months ago" Sharna said smiling sweetly. We all tidied up and when the garden was finally tidy we went inside. "Mum, can Sharna sleepover tonight?" Junior asked his Mum. "Erm, yeah but no sex. I also need to speak to her parents" Tyla replied "I only live with my Mum, I’ve never known my dad, Mum says all men are scum" Sharna told Tyla. Tyla gave Sharna a hug and said that wasn't true, took her Mum's phone number down and went into the kitchen to ring her.

Chapter 15 and a half ..Welcome back, guess who's back..

I sat on the sofa watching the clock "Where's Sharna?" I thought to myself, "Was she okay?" I carried on thinking about my Daughter. My phone started to ring, a number I didn't recognise I answered it all the same. "Hello" I started "Hello its Tyla, Junior and Mia's Mum, I was just wondering if it was okay with you if Sharna slept over tonight" Tyla asked "Erm, yeah that's fine. Tell her to be good! Nice meeting you" I said locking off the phone. How did this happen? How was I going to tell Sharna that she was with her cousin Mia? That Jason was her Uncle? Only time will tell.
