Wedding Day (Continued)

"I'm here for Jada." Kahlil said.

My mama got everyone out of the chairs and somewhere safe at this point. It was just me, Marcel and his boys, and Bria. Mina, Mia, Jazlyn, Destiny, and Jashawn didn't know much of the history so they went with everyone else.

"You got a lot of nerve showing up on my wedding day to take my lady away from me." Marcel said with his gun still pointed out and the rest of the boys still had theirs out too.

"You know, I promised myself if I saw yo bitch made ass again I'd put a bullet in your head for what you did to Jada. That was a real bitch move helping a pussy nigga like Redd." Marcel said and I stood there shaking. I was hoping no one got shot, I couldn't deal with the drama today.

"Do it then nigga." Kahlil said.

As soon as Marcel was about to pull the trigger I pushed the gun down and he ended on shooting the sand.

"Jada what the fuck?!" Marcel yelled and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared.

"Jada come with me, or you gon risk your babies lives." Kahlil said.

"Kahlil what the fuck do you mean?!" I yelled.

After that, two more guys came out with my two sons.

"Let's just say I had guys with me, and when I call the shots, they do what it takes for the job to get done." Kahlil said smirking.

"Give me my sons back." Marcel said angrily.

"Nigga these ain't yo kids." Kahlil responded.

"He raised them! They're his!" I yelled defending Marcel.

As soon as I said that, Q shot Kahlil right between the eyes.

Shots started going off between the two guys that had my sons and Marcel and his boys some more guys that were apparently with Kahlil started coming out.

I ran for my boys a bullet grazed against my arm.

I fell to my knees in pain while grabbing my arm.

The shots stopped and I couldn't really see what was happening because of the tears forming in my eyes.

Q ran up to me to help my arm and Marcel stood over me with his gun pointed to the guy who had my sons as they cried for me.

Their cries made my heart ache.

Marcel got closer to him.

"One more step and I'm shooting these kids." The guy said.

"Let my babies go!" I screamed out crying.

"Bitch they belong to Redd he just used you to get em." He said.

Anger and hurt took over me. I gained enough strength to get up and I started to charge towards him.

"Jada no!" Marcel yelled out and two gunshots went off.

It's like life got ripped out of me. My heart stopped beating for a few seconds, as I began to go into shock and process what just happened.

I heard Q gasped as I collapsed on top of my babies bodies.

Another gunshot went off and the guy dropped dead next to me.

"My babiessss!" I yelled out in extreme pain. "No! Why god why?!?!" I screamed out and Marcel came to get me up but I refused.

"This is your fault! I wouldn't be in this situation if it wasn't because of you! Your thug life got me kidnapped! And now it got my babies dead!" I yelled out. I screamed in pain and hurt.

My heart was aching and this was a feeling I could not comprehend. It felt like death. Like I was the one who died. Was this my hell? Why god why? That little ounce of happiness I felt was now gone, and on my wedding day.

My mama and everyone else came back out to see that my sons were dead, and that I had a bleeding arm from the graze from the gun.

Everyone tried to help but I wouldn't let them. I screamed out as I held my babies in my arms. There was no calling 911, they were gone. He shot them both in the heads.

Marcel did nothing but stare, he knew he couldn't say or do anything that was going to make me feel better.

As everyone was in panic, I heard nothing. I didn't hear anything all I saw were people running around looking for help as I cried my heart out rocking my boys.

I then heard sirens of a police car and the ambulance.

I saw the police talking but I heard nothing. I just heard the cries of my babies before their death.

As I was rocking them, some men and women came to take my sons away, that when I started hearing all the sounds come back.

"Jada baby please you have to let them go." My mama said while crying. She was trying to loosen my grip of my boys so that the people can cover their bodies.

I screamed out as they tried to take them while my mama loosened my grip.

"No! No! Don't take them! Don't take my babies please! Please god noooo!" I screamed out.

As they finally got out of my grip I quickly got up and tried to run after them but Marcel helped my mama hold me back. Bria and the girls were trying to calm me down as Q and the guys tried to get everyone out of the scene.

"Let me go! They have my babies! Let me go let me go please!" I screamed out. I could see the tears starting to form in Bria's eyes.

"Jada honey please I'm so sorry please calm down." She said to me.

"Bria they got my babies! He shot them Bria why my babies?!" I said as I hugged her tightly and we both dropped on our knees to the ground.

She cried silently as I was bawling on her shoulder. She was rocking me back and forth as my mama rubbed my back.

Marcel tried to talk to me again.

"Baby I'm sorry I-" he started but I didn't look nor say anything. My mom cut him off.

"Son, give her some time. Let her get it out." My mama said and I heard him sigh.

All sounds went out again and all I was hearing were my sons cries. Crying out for their mama as they were in danger.

I think Bria was talking to me but I couldn't tell. Mia and Mina were on the ground with me too and I saw my mama talking to Marcel I guess trying to figure out what happened.

My heart ached more and more as the scene played over and over in my head.

Maybe this is my fault. If only I had stayed put. But my sons were in danger and all I was thinking about was getting them safely in my arms.

I couldn't get any words out, it was hard to breathe. I just cried and cried. The more I thought about what just happened, the more I cried.

I was back in reality when a detective was standing over me.

"Ms. Monroe?" The detective said.

I looked up at her. I couldn't get any words out so I just stared, crying.

"My name is Detective Carmin. May I ask you a few questions?" She said.

I looked over to see Marcel and the rest of the guys in handcuffs and Bria felt my body tense up and calmed me. She mouthed she'll go see what's happening.

"Can't you see I'm grieving? You want to ask me questions and my sons just got shot right in front of my eyes!" I screamed out and she sighed.

"Ma'am I understa-" she started but I cut her off.

"Understand?! You understand?! You have kids?!!?! Wait, do you have kids who just got shot in front of you!? WHO JUST GOT SHOT IN FRONT OF YOU ON YOUR WEDDING DAY AT THAT!" I screamed. She sighed and looked down.

"No ma'am I don't have any kids." She said.

"SO HOW THE FUCK DO YOU UNDERSTAND?! YOU DONT UNDERSTAND SHIT!" I yelled getting up but Mina and Mia held me down.

"Jada calm down please." Mia said softly. "Is it ok if she answers your questions another time?" She asked the detective.

The detective simply nodded and walked away. Mia then grabbed my head and laid it on her chest as she just rocked me and I cried. Mina tried to hold her tears back to be strong for me.

"My babies. My boys. My world. I-" I started but cut myself off by crying again. Mina hushed me as Mia continued to rock me.

"I was just trying to get my babies!" I screamed out. Mia and Mina just continued to hush me and rock me.

I still couldn't wrap my head around the situation. The beach was basically empty now. Bria and my mom went down to the station with the guys and our families went back to their hotels trying to process what happened today. Mia and Mina stayed with me as I cried with blood on my wedding dress. My arm felt numb but I didn't care. Mina tore a piece of her dress to tie it around my arm.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

9pm

We were basically at the beach all day. I sat there staring into the ocean. Mina went to go get the three of us food.

They didn't say anything to me, they just let me grieve.

I saw Jazlyn and destiny come onto the beach. They had went back to their hotel room to process what happened and changed.

"Hey Jada honey.. heard you were still here.." Jazlyn started and sat next to me. And destiny sat on the other side of her and Mina and Mia sat behind me.

I didn't say anything I just continued to stare at the ocean. I didn't eat the food Mina bought because I didn't want to eat. I felt empty. This day felt so surreal and the events kept playing in my head.

It was silent until I finally spoke.

"Jaylen, KayKay baby... I love you." I said while still staring at the moonlight glistening on the ocean.

The girls just looked at me. Destiny started to rub my back.

Tears started to fall again as Jazlyn pulled me into her and cried with me.

"No mother should feel the pain of their child dying before them." Jazlyn said in between sniffs.

"Jada honey you have to eat something." Mia said.

"No." I said lowly while crying and she sighed.

"Honey breathe. Please breathe." Mina said.

I let out a deep breath and cried harder for a little. Then I finally looked at the ocean again and got up.

They didn't say anything they just stared at me to see what I was about to do.

I walked to the water and kneeled again. Letting the waves splash me.

"Jada honey do you want us to come down there with you?!" Destiny yelled from further up in the sand.

I didn't say anything. I just looked down at the water splashing against my dress. I suddenly just fell forward and let the water wash my away with the sand.

I heard the girls screaming and I knew they were running to get me, but I just laid there. I closed my eyes.

God take me if you will. I need to be with my boys. I said then I closed my eyes.

I don't remember what happened next.
