Faye, Hannah, and Diamond all three sat together. Faye behind Hannah with arms around her as Hannah held Diamond who was in front of her. I sat behind Jasmine holding her close to my body. Jasmine placed her head on my chest getting ready for a show she will never forget. In the distance we could hear Gina on a bullhorn giving a few words.
“ WELCOME ONE AND ALL TO THE BIG FIREWORKS SHOW. PLEASE ENJOY THE FIREWORKS AND TIME WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS. NOW WITHOUT FURTHER ADO!” Gina says over the bullhorn as the crowd whistles and cheers as the first burst of light shines up in the clear sky
Jack and Adam are the ones helping out with the show. Gina took to them both has nephews as did Ron her husband as they ran the life guard stations. Ron Talbert was with the coast guard for 20 years so he decided to make the beach behind his house and mine safe. He was a great guy to know. As the next 15 minutes went on Jasmine excused herself to use the bathroom.
I asked if she wanted me to go in with her. Jasmine told me no with a kiss saying she would be right back. I nodded to her as she walked away behind me after getting up. I watched the night sky as the fireworks made a impression among the stars and moon. I smiled looking over at three women that were members of my family seeing their eyes widen from all the booms and pops that filled the eardrums with eyes that sparkled. After another 10 minutes I started to wonder where Jasmine was.
I turned to look up at the house and their was no sign of her coming towards me. I turned back to the ocean for some odd reason I stood up only to turn towards my home. I ran in the sand making my way to the stairs that led up to the backyard. I made my way to the back door only to see horror straight ahead in the living room past the double sliding doors.
There on the couch was Jasmine being held down by a big African American man 6‘4, 258 lbs, bald head. He had his pants down as Jasmine was topless. He was sucking on her left breast. I felt my head rush as my body was boiling with anger. I then saw Chris and Tiffany pop in my head feeling a mixture of anger and sadness as I shook wildly rushing breaking the right sliding door startling the fucker who was on my woman. He rose up with widen eyes as Jasmine turned to see me pissed shaking with no end.
“ HEATH BABY HELP ME PLEASE HELP!” Jasmine yells with fright and tears
The asshole stands up pulling his pants up looking at me with anger.
“ Kid you need to get out of my house as this is my bitch.” He says as I step toward them with no care in the world
“ First off motherfucker this is MY house, second she is MY girlfriend. You have 3 seconds to get out before you get thrown out.” I say getting eye to eye to him
He looks at my eyes as both my fist shake from my anger of the scene. He steps back then looks at a scared Jasmine.
“ Stay right there bitch this won’t take.” He doesn’t finish as I bring my fist up into his jaw before I grab his right wrist pulling him to me before performing a belly to belly suplex placing him through the coffee table
“ HEATH NOOO!” Jasmine says as I look down at the fucker
“ RUN JASMINE GET SOMEWHERE SAFE I LOVE YOU!” I yell not taking my eyes off this man that tried to take what is mine
I hear footsteps run out as I look down as my mind sees Chris. With eyes wide and anger flowing through me I start wailing into him. My fist are like hammers as each one makes it’s mark on the fools face. He is struggling to get me off him. I get shoved back as he tries to get up. I don’t feel nothing as I get to my feet as he goes for the door only to get speared from behind as I plant him face down on the floor hitting the back of his head. He screams for help as no one comes to his rescue.
I double my fist at that moment placing a good blow to the back of his head. I notice no movement except his breathing shallow. I feel my heart racing more as I slowly get up to hear footsteps coming from the hallway up the stairs. I turn to see some big white guy about my height only I am a bit bigger looking down at the chaos of damage. He has Faye and Jasmine’s jewelry in his hands. I raise my right eyebrow as he drops the jewelry to only look over at his friend.
“ Your dead you son of a bitch.” He says running down the stairs as I stand there with dark eyes
He comes at me with a haymaker that I dodge to only place my fist into his gut. He doubles over as I take his neck bringing him up then around into a reverse headlock bringing him down to the floor. I sit there not hearing movement as I KO’ed his robbing ass. It’s not long that I hear shoes on glass as foot steps make their way to me. I feel a hand on my right shoulder to only grab it.
“ BABY IT”S ME!” I hear Jasmine say as I let go
She comes around in front of me looking into my eyes.
“ HOLY SHIT WHAT THE HELL!” I hear Jack say as the others come over to me
“ Heath hun are you alright?” I hear Diamond ask as I shake my head only to go back ward
“ NO HEATH!” They all say in unison as I look up at the ceiling
“ Faye call the cops while Adam and I make sure these two don’t leave. Jasmine, you, Diamond, and Hannah get Heath on the couch.” Jack says as Jasmine is looking down at me before he continues “ Jasmine.”
“ Yes ok, please help me.” I hear Jasmine say to Diamond and Hannah
It’s not long until I am helped to the couch mostly dragged. I hear Faye on the phone telling the cops of a attempted rape. I mumble theft up stairs which Jasmine relays to her aunt. I feel a cold cloth on my forehead and a warm one on my hands.
“ Is our brother ok ladies?” I hear Adam ask as I see Jasmine with tears
“ Yes Abs although I think he is in shock as he is not talking.” Hannah says looking down at me standing behind the couch
“ I think after what Jasmine told us he will be. Jack and I have these assholes tied up.” I hear Adam say as sirens are heard outside
I looked up at Jasmine who was sitting right by me. Her tears were falling while cleaning my hands.
“ You ok beautiful?” I ask as she looks into my eyes
“ Yes baby I am as you saved me from being hurt worse or raped. He surprised me from behind.” She tells me as I see a bruise mark on her beautiful face
“ I will always save you and my family.” Jasmine smiles leaning down placing a kiss on my lips
It’s at that moment there is a knock at the door. The voices that came from the door were of those I heard from over a year ago. Jasmine raised up turning as the faces were of the sheriff and deputy that came to tell me of May at one time. Jack and Adam were telling them of what happened walking in to the mess that was in the living room. The sheriff looked over at me making his way of after.
“ Well Heath it’s been awhile.” He says as I give him a nod
“ Yes it has sheriff sorry for the reason.” I say as he shakes his head
“ Don’t be that is why I am here for. So you want to tell me your version to this.” He says asking me as I look at Jasmine
I start telling him of what all I saw before I entered. He looked at Jasmine seeing her bruise then at the first man I took out. He told his deputy to take Jasmine to the side to check her out for any evidence. Jasmine started to protest until Diamond spoke up saying she would go with them. Jasmine agreed as Faye took over for Jasmine keeping me calm. As they went to a different room the sheriff went over as another deputy came in. Once they had the two handcuffed the sheriff noticed them both.
“ Well I’ll be if it isn’t the two we have been looking for.” The sheriff says as the two get defensive
“ We haven’t done anything Sheriff that you can prove.” The first guy says
“ Well that bruise on Ms. Cantrell’s face proves you wrong. Grant you are going away for awhile.” The sheriff says as the second protests
“ Sheriff we didn’t do anything. She invited us in I swear. She was a old friend.” He says as I her a gasp
“ YOU LYING ASSHOLE AS I HAVE NEVER SEEN EITHER OF YOU BEFORE!” I hear Jasmine scream from the doorway of the kitchen
“ Why you bitch.” The second says before being shoved by the sheriff
“ That’s enough Jase as I have proof. So shut your mouth and just get use to bars.” The sheriff says as the two look at him with wide eyes
“ Sheriff I have saliva from her top and bottoms. He didn’t penetrate which is good. I am sure we have Grant on attemptive rape.” The female deputy says as Grants eyes grow larger
“ Well, well guess this is my lucky day. Take them down to the station, and book them.” The sheriff says as the male deputy nods taking the two out followed by Jack and Adam
“ So Heath how are you feeling? Do you need to go see a doctor in ER?” The sheriff asks as I shake my head
“ No I am fine Sheriff just wore out.” I say as Jasmine comes over in a robe
“ No baby your going at least to get checked out.” She tells me with deep concern as the other ladies in the family nod
“ Son I think your family out voted you.” He says with a grin
“ Ok, ok I’ll go but not alone.” I say as Jasmine takes off to our room
The sheriff calls for a ambulance as to have the paramedics make sure I can actually be moved since I had enough adrenaline pumping to kill a dog. Once they arrived I found out the sheriff’s name was Jerry and his Deputy was Sherry. The paramedics checked my vitals they loaded me on a gurney to be moved. Jack and Adam came back in noticing the outcome.
They both said they would stay home to make sure no one snuck in. Jack gave his car keys to Faye so her, Hannah, and Diamond could follow us. Jasmine was back dressed as I was being taken out the front door. I always never liked hospitals, but when your family insist you go well you have to go especially when you get out voted by four beautiful women that love you.
After that night of being checked out and a few test done I was instructed to stay calm no matter what. I just shrugged telling the doctor I would sacrifice my life for those I loved if i had to. He sighed then nodded knowing he had no argument. The days after that past turning into weeks until my birthday. Jasmine and I made love as usual staying as quiet as we could. The family was becoming closer as solid being there for the other. I spent the days with Jasmine working on our online company.
