I raced over to August place. I was tryin to call him on my way over there to let him kno what happened but he ain't answer the phone.
Lexi: Come on fuckin idiot the light is green
I hunked my horn and the dude just sat there. I backed up and went around him
Lexi: Fuckin idiot
I sped off and tried calling August again
August: Hello
Lexi: He knows
August: What happen
Lexi: I'll explain when I get there
August: Iight baby
We hung up and about ten minutes later I pulled in his driveway. I got out the car and saw Aug and three other guys standin outside. August walked up to me and saw my mascara running
August: You been cryin
Lexi: He knows everything and I'm pretty sure he's on his way over here
I was talkin fast
August: Baby slow down what happen
Lexi: He seen your last two text in my phone then Tati big mouth ass told him and mama about the abortion.
August: Damn
Lexi: August he was pissed
August: It's cool come on
We went up the driveway and he introduced me to his manager, producer and bodyguard. He took me in the house and gave me a rag
August: Here you can clean ya face
I took the rag and went in the bathroom to wash my face. August had went back outside talkin to his people. When I came out they were about to leave
BigT: Alright little lady it was nice meetin ya
I smiled a little
Lexi: Thanks same here
Knuck: Yea you gotta come by more often we hear a lot about you
I blushed
Lexi: I hope only good things
Donald: Nothin but the best
A grin came across my face when lights from a car blinded me
Lexi: I think that's Dj
August looked at the car and turned around to face it. He pulled me behind him
August: Whatever happens let it happen
He told them while steppin towards Dj car. I guess my mama and Tati followed him because they pulled up in his driveway too. They got out and kinda creeped up the hill. Dj came towards August. When he came up that hill all I could see was the fire in his eyes.
August: D man look...
Dj fed him a mouth full of knuckles and August fell to the ground
Lexi: Oh my God Dj stop
Dj: Y'all gone disrespect me after all the shit I've done for you nigxa
August spit blood out his mouth and struggled to get up. So I tried to help him. Dj looked down at me. The look he gave me shook my soul I had never ever seen him this angry. He grabbed my arm tight and snatched me up. Big T came towards him and he pulled his gun then cocked it.
Dj: Try me
Big T kept his eye on him but helped August off the ground. Dj let my arm go but pushed me towards his car
Dj: Get in the fuckin car Lexi
August: Aye don't put ya hands on her like that
He pointed the gun at him
Dj: That's my sister
August: So I'm not good enough
Dj: That's exactly what the fuck I'm sayin
He walked away and pushed me towards the car
Dj: Where ya keys
I was crying and I folded my arms as to say I wasn't gone tell him and he picked me up and put me against the car
Dj: The fux you playin for Lexi
Janet: Just tell him where the keys are
Tears ran down my face
Lexi: They're in the house
Dj: Ma get her keys and drive her car to my house... Lexi get in the goddamn car
He opened the door and shoved me in the front seat.
August: Dj man come on
Janet: Baby just leave him alone
August: Come on mama he can't treat her like that
Janet: When he calms down I'm sure he'll apologize
Dj: Let's go ma
Janet: Just go get her keys
August went to go get the keys and came back and gave them to her. Once my mom got in my car Tati pulled off, Dj and my mom followed suit. I looked over at Dj and his face had no expression. I thought to myself how could he be so mad. I mean I get it I'm his one and only baby sister but damn I'm 20 years old knockin on the door to be 21 what the hell. I turned around to the window as we sat in silence. To pass time in a twenty minute car ride, what seem like to be forever, I watched the trees and read some road signs. When we arrived at his house still no word from him. He unlocked the doors and got out the car. Tati and my mama got out the cars then headed towards the house, I walked, like a quiet little church mouse, behind them. The walk to the door was seemingly endless. I stepped into the house and shut the door. I felt like a child awaiting a punishment
Janet: Tati go home baby
Tati: I think I should stay
Dj: Go home
His voice roared thru the house, as if he were an enraged lion. My body stiffened, his voice froze me makin it difficult for me to walk or talk. Tati looked at me and my mama then gave her a hug. She tried to hug me but I wasn't responsive to the love she was trying to show.
Tati: Ima call you
I somehow muscled up the courage to speak
Lexi: Don't bother
She stared at me in disbelief then walked out the house.
Dj: I can't believe you
He yelled at me
Lexi: Dj you need to understand I am grown and I...
He interrupted me
Dj: Lexi you need to understand when I say I don't want you fuxkin wit him I meant that shit end of discussion...
He walked up the stairs then stopped
Dj: Let me find out you still messin with him
Lexi: Seriously Dj
Dj: You can't see him again
I stood silent and he came back down the stairs then stepped to me. My mama placed her hand on his arm.
Dj: You can't and won't see August no fuckin more Lexi I swear to God...
Lexi: Ok damn
A tear fell down my face from me struggling to keep from crying like a hurt child. He went upstairs to his room and shut the door
Janet: Baby why didn't you tell me
Lexi: There was nothing to tell... he couldn't make me do anything I didn't want to do
Janet: So leaving you afterwards was apart of your plan as well
Lexi: If you think I planned to have an abortion... then y'all are all messed up in the head. Look I love Dj and I have nothing but respect for him he helped you raise me but I'm not gonna let him dictate to me who I can and cannot see
She looked a little dizzy and I need some air but all this drama is no good for her.
Janet: I have a headache
Lexi: Sit down let me get you some water
After I got her water I left. The whole ride home I thought on everything that happened tonight. I took a shower, warmed up some leftovers, turned on my stereo, then poured me a tall glass of wine. I was on my couch dozing off when August called
August: Open the door
