Bahja Rodriguez

"What The Fuck Bahja" Jacob Screamed At Me But I Was To High As A Damn Kite To Care "I'm Fine" I Said Chuckling "Who Gave Yo Ass This Shit, Was It Lyrica?" Jacob Yelled "Yea" I Chuckled "How Many Times You Done Did This Shit" Jacob Said

"Ion Know Maybe 5 Times A Day" I Laughed "5 Times A Fucking Day?! You Trying To Fucking Kill Yourself" Jacob Yelled Cleaning The Rest Of The Powder Up Bout To Throw It Away, I Latched On To Him "No Don't Throw It Away, I Need It" I Begged

"You Done Got To Bad, You Don't Need This Shit" Jacob Yelled "I Can't Do The Music Business" I Cried Shivering And It Was 90 Damn Degrees In Here "We Gone Get Through This Together Ok" Jacob Said I Nodded

"I Don't Know Where She Is, I Don't Keep Up With Her Anymore" I Said To Tish "Because You All Up Under Kayla" Tish Said "Man Chill Don't Bring Her In This" I Said "Bahja Hasn't Met With Me In 3 Fucking Weeks, What The Fuck Could Be Going On Right Now That's More Important Than Her Career" Tish Yelled

"Her Boyfriend" I Said "Who Jacob?, Yea He's A Cutie But He Ain't That Much Of A Catch, Well That's Unless He Putting It Down In The Bedroom" Tish Said "Tish" I Yelled Getting Aggravated With The Conversation

"Mad?" Tish Said "If Bahja Wants To Show Up She Will" I Said "Why You Always Pushing Down Your Feelings Knowing Damn Well You Love Her" Tish Said "Bahja Broke Up With Me Im Over It" I Said "You Cheated On Her" Tish Said

"I Know You Got To Bring That Shit Up In Every Argument About Bahja, We Broke Up A Month Ago Just Leave It Alone" I Said "You Still In Love With Her Ass And Kayla Just A Distraction" Tish Said Walking Away

I Sighed Seeing My Phone Start Ringing I Looked Down At The Caller Id Seeing Kayla

Me: Hey Beautiful

Kayla: What's Wrong?

Me: How You Know Something's Wrong

Kayla: The Way You Answered The Phone

Me: It's Just Tish Worrying Me, Bahja Has Been Missing For 3 Weeks

Kayla: I Seen Her The Other Day With That Crackhead Bitch Lyrica

Me: Why She Hanging Around Her, That Girl Aint Shit But Bad News

Kayla: Don't Ask Me, But You Need To Tell Tish To Find Bahja Because If Lyrica Already Got To Her Bahja Smoking And Sniffing

Me: I Doubt That Not Bahja, She Was Raised In The Hood But She Ain't Stupid

Kayla: Yea Sure, Anybody's Stupid When You Want A Boy So Bad

Me: What You Mean?

Kayla: Jacob And Bee Are Unseperatble, And Lyrica Is Jacobs Cousin, See How This Shit Plays Out

Me: I Like Your Concern For Bahja

Kayla: I'm Not No Bitter Bitch, If I Can Save Another Persons Life Then So Be It

Me: God Really Has Blessed Your Father With A Daughter Like You

Kayla: I Here That All The Time

Me: Can You Come Over

Kayla: Yea On My Way Now

Bahja Rodriguez

I Woke Up Completely Out Of It, "Jacob" I Called Out, My Body Was Shaking Like Hell I Didn't Know What Was Going On, "Jacob Baby" I Cried I Was Crying Like Hell

I Figured He Wasn't Here, I Stumbled Off My Bed Down The Stairs, My Head Was Spinning, I Crawled Out The Door To My Car And Took Off In The Direction Of Santos House, I Needed Help

Santo August

I Was Laying In My Bed Watching Tv, When The Doorbell Rung, I Looked At Kayla "I Got It" Kayla Laughed Getting Up Walking Downstairs Then I Heard A Door Open, "Santo" Kayla Yelled "What" I Yelled Back

"Come Down Here Now" Kayla Yelled, I Got Up And Walked Downstairs To The Door Looking Down At A Shivering Bahja On The Welcome Mat, I Looked At Kayla "I Mean She Was Just Right There On The Welcome Mat, I Told You Her Ass Was On Drugs Now, She's Shivering And Its 80 Damn Degrees Outside" Kayla Said

"I Won't Believe It Till I See It" I Said Picking Her Up Off The Welcome Mat, I Walked Back Upstairs Laying Bahja On My Bed, Kayla Right On My Tail, "What Do I Do?" I Asked "For One Call Tish" Kayla Said "You Do It" I Said As She Nodded Walking Out The Door

I Looked At Bahja, I Started To Search Her Pocket Seeing The Evidence I Needed Powder, "Bahja" I Lightly Shook Her "Mmmm" Bahja Groaned Clutching Her Stomach "Bahja" I Yelled Pushing Her More Aggressively, Her Eyes Slowly Opened

I Looked Over Her Shivering Body "What The Fuck Have You Done To Yourself" I Said "N-n-nothing" Bahja Said Having A Hard Time Getting The Word Out "You Sniffing Powder, For What?" I Yelled She Started To Be Out Of It Again

I Grabbed Her Up Making Her Look At Me "I Thought If Jacob Could It I Could To" Bahja Said "Jacob" I Spat With Anger "Yea" Bahja Said "I Watched This Shit Since I Was Younger, This Ain't No Fucking Route You Wanna Go Down, Look At You Your Body Can't Handle This Shit, You Can Barely Stand" I Said

"I'm Fine" Bahja Said As Tish Walked In The Room "Bahja I Can't Fucking Believe You" Tish Yelled "Call Jacob" Bahja Said "No" I Said "I Want Jacob" Bahja Said "So He Can Pump More Drugs Into Your Body" I Said "He's Going To Help Me" Bahja Cried

"Ain't Nobody Gone Help You Bahja, But Us" Tish Said "I Want To Go Home Back To Atl" Bahja Said "For What Your Sister?, You Think She Wanna See Your Ass Like This" Tish Said "I Need Help" Bahja Said "I Know If You Let Us We Can" I Said Crouching Infront Of Her As She Sat On My Bed

"Maybe We Can Get You Into Rehab" Tish Said "No Hell No" Bahja Said "If You Want To Continue Your Career You Is" Tish Said Bahja Scratched Her Arms, That Shit Already Pumping In Her Vains, That Shows How In 3 Weeks You Can Get Addicted To That Shit

"I'm Not Gone Let You Become Your Mother" I Said Sitting Beside Her As She Latched On To Me, My Arms Instantly Connected Around Her As She Cried, I Looked Up At Kayla Who Stared Back At Me Then Reverted Her Eyes To Bahja

"I Got Her" Tish Said Grabbing Bahja Who I Didn't Want To Let Go Of, "Its Gonna Be Awhile Chres And You Know That" Tish Said I Nodded, I Can't Believe This Shit Man, Feelings Were Flourishing Like Hell

I Watched Tish Keep A Good Grip On Bahja Walking Her Out The Room, I Turned My Attention Back To Kayla "Its Very Sweet How You Care For Her" Kayla Said Sitting On My Lap "She Reminds Me Of Diamond A lot" Kayla Said

"I Know" I Said "That's Why You Liked Her So Much" Kayla Said "Liked?" I Questioned "Yea Liked, You Don't Still Have Feelings For Her Do You?" Kayla Said "No" I Said Quickly Lying Like Hell "Just Wondering" Kayla Said I Sighed As She Snuggled Up Into Me

Bahja Rodriguez

I Stood In Front Of The Building With Tish, She Basically Decked Me Out In All Black Trying To Make Sure Nobody Saw Me, She Guided Me In The Building As I Scratched The Hell Out My Arms "I Need It So Bad" I Groaned

"I Know You Think You Do" Tish Said "Hey Tish And This Must Be Miss Rodriguez" A Woman Said "Yes It Is" Tish Said "What We Doing Here" I Said "Well Bahja, This Will Be Your Home For The Next 4 Months" She Said

"Excuse Me" I Said "Bahja I Love You As Family, I'm Not Finna Sit Here And Let You Keep Going Back To That Shit, I've Seen It To Many Times, You'll Stay Here For 4 Months And Get Your Self Right And Then You Can Be Free And Come Back And Do Your Music" Tish Said

"But Lo-" I Started "I'll Tell Her Everything, We All Need You To Get Better" Tish Said I Finally Agreed Because I A Wanted To Better Myself, I Didn't Want To Become A Junky Like My Mother

"I Love You Lil Girl Remember That" Tish Cried "I Love You To" I Said Walking With The Woman, I Never Really Thought I Would End Up In Rehab

Where Do I Get From Here?
