Can't Hate You

Too late

Elijah

As soon as I got into my car I called Josh with shaking hands. He picked up when I started the engine and I tried to stop breathing so fast. I couldn't control it. It wasn't in my hand.. I was so mad I felt like I could explode.

"Josh I know who the bastard is. That means I need a bottle of Hennessy and my favorite baseball bat." my voice was shaking of anger. I wanted more than that. I wanted to see him burn. I couldn't explain myself why I was THAT angry but thinking of him and my girl was enough. I believed her with everything that she said.. I knew she didn't betray me or laid a hand on him.. but knowing that he spent time with her was enough to make me crazy.

"And I know where he is." he said and surprised me. That made me laugh. I loved him. He was the only one who could always surprise me positively and make me laugh even in situations like these.

"I'm there in ten. Call the crew and tell them that we don't need a plan. We're going to kill that son of a b***h tonight."

My anger was getting bigger and bigger with every second. I wanted him between my hands. I wanted to see how his soul was leaving his body. I wanted him to die as fast as possible. He was going to pay for everything that he's done and even for the things he hasn't done. I was going to let all my anger from the past months out on him.

"Done!" he said and hung up. I drove to his place as fast as I could. I've never been so inpatient..

When I arrived and walked in I could see that everyone was already waiting for me totally curiously.

"What's the plan?" James asked me as soon as he saw me.

"There's no plan. We're just going to do our thing." I said clenching my jaw.

They raised a brow. "'Our thing'?"

I laughed. Maybe I went crazy. "Yeah. We're going to kill him and his little p***y gang. I can't wait any longer and I want his head on my damn wall!" I screamed pointing at the wall on my left. The way they looked at me told me that they knew how pissed I actually was and how much this actually mattered to me.

I opened the bottle on the table and started drinking.

"Without a plan? Dude are you already drunk?" Jason asked and I knew he was panicking. Moving without a plan wasn't something that we were usually doing.. but this time.. no play was needed..

I nodded. "Definitely!"

I put the bottle away. That was already enough.

"I hope y'all are ready... because we are going to f**k him up."

They nodded and that was literally the sign. We couldn't waste another second. He could be calling her in that moment.. and I didn't want them to talk.. not even a word. Not anymore. We stormed out and got in our cars. We didn't need any guns or weapons this time. We didn't need a plan or a strategy. All we needed was one baseball bat and nothing else. That was going to be enough to break him.

He was hanging around in a strip club with his crew.. That disgusting piece of s**t. I punched against the wheel when I thought about the fact that he brought her there too.. the fact that he gave her drugs and tried to manipulate her.. it made me crazy. I ran my hand through my hair and tried to calm down. I thought of her.. I wanted to do this all for her..

We arrived and walked in after knocking out the security guards. We went in real quick without getting much attention. We acted like normal people

I looked around.. tried to find him between the girls, the money, the alcohol, the guys and the steam. I clenched my jaw because I thought I wasn't going to find him but when I did I clenched my fists. I knew I needed to calm down but who was ready to give me a reason to not kill him in front of everyone and start a m******e?

A few weird guys that were walking around.. looked like they would be in his team. It was obvious. So instead of losing my mind I slowly walked over to him after giving my team a sign that they should follow me and stopped right behind him.. His 'crew' wasn't even paying attention. It would've been so easy to kill him with one move but that wasn't enough for me. I wanted him to see me.. to remember me.. to talk to me.. to beg me..

He was looking at his phone and then up at the girl in front of him. He didn't even notice me.. how could he? I was standing behind him and I was so close to choke him from behind.

I looked at his phone trying to find out what he was so focused on... and then I regretted it... He was looking at a picture of Melissa where she was smiling softly... I bit my lower lip. My blood started boiling. Was he kidding me? He probably noticed me and did it on purpose.. I hoped for him..

Where the f**k did he got that picture from? Did he take it by himself? I hoped not. I was so close to explode. He was already getting on my nerves. Even the fact that he had pictured of her made me crazy. I didn't want him to have anything related to her. I wanted him to disappear.. erase him completely.

“You really have the nerve to daydream about my girl..?“ my voice was way deeper than I thought it wouldn't be. I couldn'T even control it. My inner anger was too deep. I broke up with my princess because I was so scared that he could hurt her.. but I was going to hurt him..

He stood up immediately and turned around first looking totally confused.. and then his jaw dropped when he realized who I am. He clenched his jaw but a smile was decorating his face. He looked like a psychopath.. he looked like he was waiting for me.. but he was surprised to see me in real right in front of him.. he was glad about it.. he needed it.. that freak.

”Oh.. what gives me the honor..?“

He knew how to make me angry.. he knew exactly that being nice would make me even angrier than I was. He was that type of annoying person.

He didn't expect me to be right in front of him but he wasn't panicking. He was enjoying it. He was prepared to meet me randomly.

He looked at my team that was standing behind me and laughed. ”What a cute group." he said like we would be a group of children who wanted ice cream or something and I tried to calm down but it seemed impossible. He was provocation me. He loved doing that.. that'S how he got me.. that's how he made me do whatever he wanted.

If he would've known that these kids behind me were ready to beat him up until he would stop breathing.. he wouldn't smile like a stupid bastard.

“Would you like to come outside with me by yourself or do I have to force you?" I asked him looking straight into his eyes. ”I would love too.“ he said like he would really mean it. He was a good actor because I was really close to believe him.

He made the first step and walked made his way through all of us like he would be in charge. We followed him and it was better like that because like that we could keep an eye out on him.

I was really surprised by the way he was acting.. like he wanted all of this. Like he has planned this too many times... that's why he wasn't saying anything or panicking. It was totally fine for him.. no matter what he was planning in his brainless head.. I was going to cancel them plans.

We walked out like nothing happened.. like gentlemen. Straight through the back door.. not to forget that his team followed us silently.. He acted calm but I was ready for every move of his.. this was the big showdown. It happened faster than I thought... but the rest came slowly.. the anger.. the adrenaline.. the high blood pressure.. the air was tensing.

There we were.. In the darkness underneath the pink neon lights..

My team and his team.. sorry... my team and his p*****s. It looked like one of these showdowns in the movies and now we were going to see which team was going to survive.. or which leader was going to survive.. because either he was going to die.. or me.. and I could finally see the motivation in his face as well.

He raised his chin, clenched his jaw and furrowed his eyebrows. It seem like he just realized what happened.. like he just woke up from a dream.. guessed the fish air just kicked him. Or he was a psycho with mixed personalities and finally decided to take this serious.

When I started asking myself who was going to light the fire up first he opened his mouth...

"Why are you here? You couldn't stand that she's with me now.. right?"

He was so confident and sure about himself. I was disgusted but also surprised. That he really had the nerves to talk like this.. act like this.. probably because he didn't know that I already talked to my girl and that I didn't need to take a step back anymore. He didn't know about the power that my babygirl gave.. he didn't know that she was officially mine again.. he still thought he had her and me in his hands but he didn't..and that gave him a lot of strength.

"Yeah.. I'm jealous." I said trying to sound serious. He clenched his jaw even harder. I could see that even in the dark. I knew that he knew it was sarcasm.

"I can understand you! I mean I would be jealous too if I would hear that I am f*****g with her!"

Now I was the one who clenched his jaw. Even tho I knew it wasn't true.. hearing it really made my blood boil because he made me imagine it.. he made me doubt it. I hated that..

"If you f**k with her then you f**k with me." I said with a raised brow.

He laughed. "Don't forget that she's not your babygirl anymore. She is mine.. she does whatever I want.." he was so provocative... but what he didn't knew was that she was still my babygirl and I felt os bad for him. It must've been more thanked to be fooled like this..

Josh

Even if I was standing behind Elijah I could feel that he was about to freak out. No matter if everything was okay between him and Melissa.. he hated that he was talking like that about her. What I could understand. We all were ready to do whatever he wanted from us.. everything that we talked about on the way. One sign was enough to make us handle it all alone with Kingston.

So we waited patiently for him to say something but he didn't. I thought he was going to punch him.. so we kept waiting..

Then he gave us the sign.

Elijah

They did exactly what I told them to do. They attacked his team.

I just smiled at Kingston.. I knew he was panicking because he knew we were stronger than them and it would take us less than five minutes to kill each of his members.. he didn't want to show me how nervous he was.. but I knew he was.. and he was getting angry. That was all I wanted.

I took a deep breath and sighed. "What a shame.. I guess we're left."

He laughed. I hated it so much.. his laugh.. it always sounded like he was enjoying it with his while heart..

“Believe me.. you don't want to mess with me. You don't know what I'm capable of... I'm the mentally destroyed type of guy you should be afraid of." he said freaking out a little bit and getting louder. He looked like a glitch.. like he was broken or something. Like he lost all his patience.

I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Believe me. I'm even more destroyed." I said and caught the baseball bat that Josh threw over to me. I hit him right into his face and I'll never be able to explain how good it felt.. I was waiting for this for so long.. I even had dreams about it..

He held his bleeding nose and licked his lips after he tripped and looked back at me again.. "Good move.." he said breathing heavily. I threw the baseball bat away. I needed to feel his bones breaking... I needed to hear them breaking.. so I rolled up my sleeves and punched him right in his face. "That's for touching my babygirl!" he could barely open his eyes but he didn't protect himself or hit me back... "And this is for scaring her!" I kicked him as hard as I could.

He was laying on the ground with blood all over his face.. he was laughing. I knew I needed to feel relieved.. but it only made me crazy. He spit blood but I was about to lose my mind. He didn't care about it. He didn't care about anything.. what did he want? What did he want to reach? He got my girl but didn't do anything big.. I was there, he got me and he didn't even try to hurt me.. my team was about to finish his team but he acted like that was okay..

“Won't you hit me back?“ I screamed at him with open arms.

“Come on! I'm waiting!" I added. He tried to stand up but I pushed him back to the ground because I saw that the boys were done with his team so I gave them a sign to clear everything. They should get them away from there. We couldn't leave any clues..

I was really proud for a second and smirked until I turned back around and got punched by Kingston.. I hated to admit that he wasn't that bad.. He was stronger than I thought. He smirked.. I looked deep into his eyes.. god damn.. of course I couldn't hurt him when he was on drugs. That asshole was probably going to not remember any of this in a few hours.

He began to laugh again. He loved that I was shocked and confused for a second. He took the chance and punched me again.. I wrapped his neck and started choking him until he was laying on the ground. I started hitting his head against the ground several times.

He grabbed my hands but we both froze when we heard police sirens. I let him go when they got louder and louder.. I looked at him eyes widened.. I wanted to know who the f**k was responsible for that..

Kingston

The cops were coming.. and I thanked god for blessing me with this brain. I started laughing again because I was so euphoric and happy about my idea.

I put a little bag of cocaine into the pocket of his jacket while he was distracted... that was probably going to be the last time I was going to see him.. at least for a really long time.. and this little bag was going to be enough to get him into a lot of trouble..

I spit onto the ground..

Then I ran away.

Elijah

I looked at the boys. Then I turned around and saw Kingston running away.. that asshole.. I knew I needed to run and escape but the police was too close to escape. They would've caught me no matter if I was going to move or not.

I started panicking and the anxiety got me..

"LEAVE!" I screamed at them and Josh looked at me eyes widened. I knew he was going to resist. I knew he would want to stay with me because that was him.. he never wanted to leave me alone.. he always had my back.. but I knew I needed to say something to make him leave.. I needed to give him a reason..

"LEAVE AND TELL MELISSA THAT I LOVE HER!"

That was unfair from me.. that I was using her was unfair. He pressured his lips and gave me a death stare but then he nodded and they began to run.

It was too late for me. I was out of breath when a police officer pointed at me with a gun.

I got on my knees and put my hands behind my head...
