A New beginning

Chapter 24

I turned back around before the door swung open. "Justus thank god baby I knew I could count on you." I stood on the door step staring at my mom. She looked horrible. Barley recognizable. She got real skinny and she looked like she was on heavy drugs.

"Come on in Justus. He'll be here in a minute." I stood still not moving.

"Justus what's wrong?"

"Why do you only call when you need something?"

"I'm your mother, you could help me out sometimes Justus."

"You said you didn't want my help," I reminded her.

"Justus just please, I don't want to die." She started crying. "What about your unborn sibling?" I looked down at her stomach she looked around 8 months pregnant. Fuck. I can just kill the nigga and be on my way.

I pushed past her and walked in the house.

"He'll be here soon, do you want or need anything?"

I didn't answer as I stood there. "This nigga better hurry up or else I'm leaving you to deal with your own shit.

I crossed my arms as I waited by the door. The door have yet to open and I've been standing here for ten minutes. Just as I started to turn to the door to leave until it busted open to reveal a drunk man. I looked dude up and down.

"You have my money, bitch?" He walked right past me to her.

She looked over to me. "Yes baby I have the money," she pointed to me. He turned to me. "You sold me that weed that one day. That was some good shit." Well I know why he looks familiar now.

"I ain't giving him shit," I turned walking away. "Justus stop being fucking selfish for once. I need money. You fucking good for nothing-," I shut the door behind me.

She was lying. That nigga was not going to kill her she probably just want it to buy drugs and she is pregnant. She trying to kill that baby.

I opened my car door and grabbed my phone.

When I started driving home I received a call from Justus.

"Hello?"

"You home yet? I'm on my way to pick up Delilah. I saw the dogs. I'm sticking with them,"

I scrunched my face up.

"The fuck you mean 'dogs' I thought it was one."

"It was but he's a bonded pair with another one he met out the shelter and I couldn't just split them up so I decided to take him too."

"It's the same breed?"

"Nah, it's a little fluffy dog. He's older than Cloud too. He's two years old and his name is honey."

"When do you get them?"

"I'll pick them up sometime next week."

I nodded my head even though he couldn't see me.

"So how did your day go, baby? Where did you have to go?"

I honked my horn at the car in front of me. They fucking stopped at the yellow light when there was enough time for both of us to get through.

"Stop honking at them people,"

"Don't tell me what to fucking do. Anyways... I went to see my mom today. She's pregnant and she probably on drugs too."

"What did you see her for, did she call?"

"She wanted money, but I didn't give it to her.

"Oh, So you're about to have a younger sibling?"

"That ain't my fucking sibling. I'm too damn old to be having a new fucking sibling. I'm damn near 19."

Messiah is turning 20 in a week. I got to get him something for his birthday.

"Okay, Justus."

Why is he using my full name. I didn't even say anything wrong but I'm going to let it slide for today.

"I'm pulling up to the house now." I said parking my car. "I'm almost at Devonte house."

"Alright I'll talk to you when you get here," we said our 'talk to you laters' and hung up while I walked into Messiah's house.

Now I have to attempt to make something that Messiah would eat.
