" How?" He asked.

" I know how to shoot cause my granddaddy taught me. When I shot the Glock the first time I missed on purpose. I just wanted you to think I didn't know what the fuck I was doing." I laughed.

He smacked his lips, " So you just wasted my time."

" Pretty much." I said nodding my head.

" Bring yo ass on so I can take you home. We could've been left. Yo ass wanna wasting time and shit." Shiesty complained as he walked passed me.

Once we got into Shiesty's car it was silent, so I turned up the radio. He looked at me like I was crazy, and turned it back down.

" Don't touch shit in my car." He said.

I scrunched my face up, " You one of the rudest mfers I've ever met in my life."

He chuckled, " Preciate it. I take pride in that."

Once he pulled up to my grandmother's house, I instantly got out of the car slamming his door. I started to walk towards he house like I was going in, but instead of him pulling off he just sat there with the window rolled down.

" Why you still here? Bye!" I yelled as I turned around, and looked at him.

" I may not like yo ass, but I was raised to make sure whoever I dropped off got in the house safely. So, take yo ass in the house." He yelled back at me.

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! What the fuck I'm finna do now?

" I forgot my keys." I said without thinking.

" Well, knock on the door or ring the doorbell. Obviously somebody here cause it's a car parked in the driveway, duh." Shiesty yelled back.

" I don't wanna wake her up, so just go. I'll find another way to get in." I said trying to convince him to leave.

" Either you knock or I'ma blow the horn." He said sternly.

I sighed. I had two options. Either knock on the door, and let Melissa embarrass me in front of Shiesty letting him know I don't live there anymore or just tell him myself. I walked back towards his car in shame, and got in putting my seatbelt back on.

" I don't live here anymore."

" I know. Whenever 30 would drop you off at home, I noticed you never went in the house. You'll always walk to the bus stop, so where you really stay at?"

" I stay at the motel that's up the street." I mumbled embarrassed.

He laughed, " Quit playing. Where you stay at fa real? You look like you from North Memphis. You a north Memphis hoe?"

" You really think this funny? I really do live in a motel. What, you want me to feel embarrassed? Well, good cause I am. Ok! I hope it's really funny to you. You know what I'll just take the bus there. I don't need a ride from you asshole." I said as I took my seatbelt off finna get out the car.

" I thought you was just joking. Ion mean no harm by what I said, ight? I'ma take you there."

Shiesty's POV

I pulled off heading to the motel. I felt bad cause I really didn't think she stayed there. I thought she was just bullshitting, but she wasn't. The rest of the car ride was silent I could hear Payton sniffling as she looked out the window.

" My fault Payton ian mean it like that. I just thought you was playing. I mean I know I'ma asshole, but ian the type of asshole that make fun of people living situations." I said truthfully.

Payton didn't say anything she just continued to look out the window until we pulled up to the motel. It was run down, and didn't look safe at all. She got out the car, and slammed the door without saying anything to me. She went to room 6, and went in. I sat there fa a minute thinking before I knew what I wanted to do. I got out of the car, and walked to the room knocking on the door. Payton opened the door with her red eyes. I sighed walking in passed her.

" Whatchu want? I didn't say you could come in." She said looking at me.

Ignored her as I picked up her suitcase opening it. I opened the drawers, and started putting her clothes in there.

" Shiesty, stop what the fuck is you doing? Get out!" She yelled as grabbed my arm.

I jook my arm from her.

" Payton, I'm not finna let you stay in no damn motel! 30 will kill me, if he knew I'd let you stay here! Look at this shit cuhh! Shouldn't nobody be living like this! So start packing yo shit now! And I'm not asking you either. I'm telling you." I said sternly.

" I have nowhere to go Shiesty, and I don't wanna stay with 30 and his baby mama. I don't wanna impose on them." She sighed.

" Ain't nobody said shit bout you staying with 30. You staying with me, so hurry up so we go." I said.

She looked at me for a few minutes before she finished packing. Ion know what came over me, but I feel like it's the right thing to do. But why did I volunteer her to live with me? I could've taken her to a better hotel, a shelter, or let stay at the Choppa House. Maybe it's cause I don't wanna see ha in a situation like this cause I know what it feels like.
