"Thank you Uncle Cliffordddd."
"Alright na, hooch on." After I pushed her out on that floor I went over to the bar, a bitch need a drink! "Hey Jupiter gurl!"
"Uncle Clifford..." she immediately stopped pouring a drink for one of the bitches sitting down and was looking at a bitch like I was a ghost or sum shit.
"Aht Aht! Don't ask!"
"Listen if someones beating you..."
"Beating me?! Chileee pour me one of them dranks back there it ain't nun like that."
"Alright but you can't never be too sure round here."

"Bitch don't tell me not to worry cause that's only gon make me worry more. Na are you sure you alright?"

"Bitch? You can tell all that by just looking at me?" I asked her smiling a lil whipping the tears from my face.
"Chileee, I ain't get that Ace Boon Coon title fa nun. Just hear what I'm saying okay?"

"Wassup my dude?"
"Woddy I need you to slide wit a nigga!"
"Murda didn't I just drop you off nigga? Don't you wanna stay wit Cliff tonight to make sure she good?"
"Woddy just come get me fool! Imma be out front!"
*CALL ENDS*
"This nigga really gon hang up the phone on me? He better be glad I'm not doing shit!" I finally made it to the club and Lamarques wasn't outside yet. I looked down at my phone on the charger and it was on mute so I didn't realize Key had been calling till she started calling again.
*INCOMING CALL FROM KEY😍🔑...*
"Ahhh..." I sighed looking down at the screen. Before I text Murda to let him know I'm here I couldn't stop looking at her picture. I do miss her... fuck!
"Hello?"
"Woddy, I ain't thank you would pick up."
"Well you got me. What's up Key, you good?"
"Yeen text me back last night... did you find 'em?"
"Yeah, both Murda and Cliff okay."
"Oh thank God!"
"Yeah, but that's not why you called..." I could tell by the nervousness in her voice she had sum else she wanted to say.
"You right...Woddy we needa talk."
"Okay..."
"Not over the phone..."
"So you wanna see me?"
"Why wouldn't I?"
"I though you would wanna see that nigga since you was at the club wit him last night..."
"Woddy! Don't be like that na!"
"Alright I'm sorry."
"Can you come through?"
"Not tonight Key..." I said looking over at Lamarques walk to the car. The nigga must've sensed I was out here. "How bout in an hour I'll come pick you up?"
"Alright."
"Alright Imma hit you then."
"Okay bye..."
"Bye..."
Here Lamarques ass go banging on my window.
"Open the door fool! Why you got this bitch locked and you know I'm coming?!"
"Murda, calm yo ass down, you always on jump mode!" I said putting my phone back on the charger.
"Who was you talking to just den huh, you smiling all low and shit. I can still see that shit you know that don't you?"
"Murda..."
"Ooo was that Keyshawn???"
"Murda just get yo ass in the car mane!"
"I knew you missed her, and she miss you!"
"Do she na?"
"Don't worry bout that nigga mane!" He said waving his hand in the air. "He ain't got shit on you ya heard me?"
"Let's just get to this nigga house!" I said putting the car in drive.
A few minutes later...
After we pulled up to the nigga house it ain't look like nobody was inside, all the lights off and shit.
"Ahhh mane..." I sighed rubbing my forehead.
"Woddy, I don't need ya attitude."
"Nigga, Ion got no attitude. Last time I checked you called me asking me to slide yet we here and the nigga ain't nowhere to be seen. How you even know this the nigga house?"
"Cause nigga, HVH always keep eyes on these fools and you would know that if you was rocking the red and green."
"Nigga you know why I don't want no parts of that shit."
"Yeah whatever mane, let's just go get this nigga."
"You know I was here last night looking fa yo ass."
"Woddy, you a real one fa real! Finding out the nigga address and shit." He said pushing my shoulder.
"I ain't know where the nigga lived till tonight Murda, I came by here last night cause Mercedes live in that house there." I said pointing across the street.
"Say what?"
"Yeah bra, when I stopped by the club Big L told me yo buck ass stepped to Maine at the soak down."
"Woddy I already told you why I had to do that shit."
"Yeah nigga, he also said that if anyone knew where Maine was it would be her seeing as he was all up her ass and shit at the soak down, think he been up her ass fa a minute."
"So you mean to tell me this nigga got a hard on fa Mercedes. Damn I'm glad she came through, I gotta tell Cliff and hit her up later. She saved niggas lives fa real."
"Yeah you right about that." I said eyeing the nigga door, if he really in there I know Lamarques gon be on demon time and he got every right to be but I need him to think about his future wit this shit. If anything I would rather end the niggas life then risk him doing it, not to mention he may start a war ending the niggas life.
"C'mon get out the car." He said opening the door grabbing my glizzy out the glove box. I knew this nigga was finna be on one.
"Nigga give me my strap!" I said following him. "Go through the back door fool!" We went through the back and it ain look or sound like nobody was here.
"Where the fuck this nigga at mane?!" Lamarques asked frantic as heyell looking around this nigga whole house.
"Lamarques calm down...hold up..." I said walking back to his room. It was glass on the floor and the furniture was moved. "Look like somebody already got to 'em."
"Who though?"
"Ion know Lamarques but we gotta go!"
"FUCK!"
After we got back in the car Lamarques still wouldn't calm down. "Listen my dude we gon get him don't even trip."
"Woddy, can't you see someone already got to his ass! Who the fuck would be after him?"
"Nigga Ion know. Maine seem like the type of nigga that got a lot of enemies."
"Ugh! This shit is really pissing me off mane."
I grabbed the side of his shoulder to calm him down, "Listen Murda, maybe we can come back round here another time to see if the nigga here, maybe he left or sum shit and knocked his own stuff down ole buff ass nigga."
"Yeah you prolly right." He started to calm down.
"Yeah nigga, na you want me to drop you back off at the club?"
"Why Woddy? You got sumwhere you needa be?"
"Nigga mind yo business."
"You looking too hype right na, you going to see her ain't you?"
"Lamarques..."
"Alright mane, drop me back off to the club nigga!"
After I dropped him off I made it to my house. I ain't text Key yet and let her know I was here and I didn't know if I wanted to. My mind going a million miles a minute looking at that door. I hopped out the car and went though.
*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*
"Hey..." there she was, the face I been missing.
"Hey Key... Where the kids?"
"They wit my sister, I dropped them over there a while go..."
"So this was ya plan all along huh?" I asked her laughing then she smiled.
"Umhum, You can say that... Na where we going?"
"Going? I thought you just wanted to talk?"
"I do, but I'm hungry so where we going?"
"Taffe's...?" When I said the word she grabbed her jacket and started walking wit a nigga. When we got in the car it was mad silent.
"Woddy...?"
"Yeah Key...?" When I looked over at her I couldn't focus on nun else but her, she reached out fa my hand touching my arm and every time she touch me I can't seem to focus..."Key I'm driving..."
"Stop the car..."
"Key?"
"Just stop the car..." so I pulled over and put the car in park.
"Wassup Key?" When I asked she didn't say nun but her breathing started changing. "Key, listen yeen gotta get upset."
"It's hard not to..."
"Key I...?"
"Woddy you just left, yeen even let me explain what happened."
"Key I saw what happened."
"It's complicated Woddy."
"What's good wit y'all?"
"What?"
"What's good wit y'all? Seem like y'all got history Key."
"We do..."
"So, did anything ever happen?"
"Woddy, sum happend but that was before we even got together."
I ain't care if that shit happened before we got together I can't thank bout no other nigga all over her now, I just turned my face towards the window.
"Woddy...?" She said tryna pull my face back to face her.
"Key..."
"Listen I want you to come back..."
"I can't do that Key..."
She pulled my face up to hers and started kissing me. "Why not..." kissing her right now makes me miss her even more. She climbed on top of me on the drivers side of the car and I put my hands on her face to just look at her. I pressed my lips against hers and she started taking off her shirt. I couldn't help but kiss her errywhure. "Ahh..."
"Leave that on..." I told her as I slid my fingers in her pants past her panties making my way to her spot.
"Ahhh..." she said letting out a soft moan while my fingers stroked up against her clit. Looking at her face right now make me realize she mean what she say when she say she miss me and I do miss her. "Don't stop..." being so close to her neck while she on top of me I could feel every soft breath come from her lips to my ears as her essence covered my fingers. Our faces brushed over each other as I came up from her neck to look into her eyes, these pretty brown eyes that I always find myself getting lost in. "Woddy..." her moans started getting longer and louder while she used her hips to move back and forth on my fingers. "Right there...ahhh" She leant her head back while her legs shook as they gripped tighter and tighter around me, I could tell she was getting close. Holding her body up against mine I came up to taste her skin as my tongue made its way to suck the side of her neck. "Ummm...fuck..." She started biting her lip and that started driving a nigga crazy so I leaned forward and sucked on it for her."Ahhh..." she started bringing her hands up from caressing my chest to put them around my neck. "Ahhh, keep yo hand right there..." she said taking full control of my body. So I kept my fingers in that spot holding her still on top of me while she dripped all over my fingers finishing it for her. "Fuck...." She moaned bringing her hands down from my neck pressing her head against mine as her body finally relaxed. After she came I took my fingers out of her panties and sucked them. Bringing her face down to my lips closing her eyes she let out a soft breath as her nose brushed up against mine. Our eyes finally met as she opened 'em while our lips teased each other. "Kiss me...?" She asked so I did.
"Hold up Key..." I said pulling away from our kiss for a second that felt like an eternity. I don't want this to end but I can't do this shit if I don't know what's up.
"You okay Woddy...?"
"I do miss you Key..."
"I miss you too, that's why I called. That's why I been calling..."
I reached my hand up to touch her face and thought to myself, should I really ask? I wanna know but do I really wanna know? "But I wanna ask you sum..."
"Whatever you wanna ask me you can..."
"Do you still want sum to happen..."
"Woddy..."
"Key, I can't do this shit."
"Woddy Ion wanna loose you..."
"Ion wanna loose you either but I can't go through wit this if you still got feelings for him."
"Woddy..."
"I'm not mad at you Key and I don't want you to be mad at me for this. I do wanna be with you, I just don't want half of you."

Na you know these gurls so I want you to tell me who you thank would be interested in this shit. We already got Extra Extra!"
"Umhum, and what about Isis? She still doing this shit wit us?" She asked wit a lil attitude and I understand why. I ain't cut her loose yet and I don't know if I want to...but I love my bitch Whisper.
"Listen Toy, you just distract Uncle Cliffford while I sneak through the back and talk to sum of these gurls, oh and make sure you get Brazil attention. Ion wanna have to beat a bitch ass again cause she blowing our shit."
"Alright Roulette." She said stepping out the car.
"HEY UNCLE CLIFFORD!!! GET YOU ASS OUT HERE!" Toy walked up wit a bat to the front of the club and security was already all over her so I know Uncle Clifford gon bring her ass up here.
"TOY?! WHAT IN THE SAM HEYELL IS YO ASS DOING BACK ROUND HERE? GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM MY CLUB!"
"Uncle Clifford what happened to you?!"
Damn the way she asked her that it must be sum serious but that's not why a bitch is here I'm here to talk business wit these bitches. I snuck inside the back entrance of the club and walked through the door.
"Ahhh! Bitch you scared us! Whatchu doing back here? If Uncle Clifford even see you..."
"Listen I ain't worried bout all that, I came to talk to y'all."
"Us? About what?"
"Business opportunity...y'all wanna make sum more money right? It's easy and fast and I'm sure it's more money than y'all used to making up in here." I took 10 stacks out my YSL and showed them.
"Roulette? Whatchu doing that got you stacking like this?"
I passed them a piece of paper wit my number on it and the name of another motel not the same one me and the gurls always at neither, I gotta make sure these bitches really down fa they get all the information. "Come to this address after yo shifts and find out." I turned around and walked out the club. When these bitches come and I know they will cause Toy told me bout the ones she thank would be interested, we gon see what they made of. I looked around the locker room and out to the main floor and ain't see Isis so she must not be here tonight, I gotta talk to her.

"Uncle Clifford errythang alright?" I asked holding onto my strap, but I let go of it soon as I recognized the her..."Wait...don't I know you from sumwhure? You Whisper friend right?" I asked the gurl wit the bat in her hand, the lil time I been here I'm seeing why this club got a reputation round here.
"Whisper? How you know Whisper?!"
"Uncle Clifford it's a long story..." I said turning towards her, I knew this shit was gon come up.
"Well listen I don't care just get this gurl off my property!"
"Uncle Clifford you really gon be like that?" The gurl asked.
"Toy, Ion even know why you is steady showing ya face round here after I don told yo ass not to come back!"
"Diamond? What's up wit them two?" I asked looking over at him.
"You don't even wanna know bra, Listen Toy lemme walk you back to yo car."
"Thanks Diamond, least you still care bout a bitch."
"Tshht! Rod get back out on this floor!"
I walked back inside and ole gurl bumped right into me.
"Ahh excuse me!"
"Awe I'm sorry." I said jumping a lil holding the gurl by her arms."Are you okay?" I could feel that she was shook when my hands touched her arms to check on her and my chain been shaking err since we bumped into each other.
"Yeah I'm fine!" She said stumbling away, then out the corner of my eye I seen Monroe walking towards the bar so I decided to stop her.
"Monroe...? Who was that?"
"Touching me like that baby bwoy you gon start sum... and who Dianna? Don't tell me you got eyes fa her, Ion thank she even go that way."
"Naw it ain like that, it's just she don't seem alright and you may wanna go check on her."
"Alright lemme find out you got sum type of spiritual connection!"
"What make you think that?" I asked her nervously, err since Diamond asked me what kinda chain this was I been feeling like it's darkness in here.
"Heyell I'm just messing wit you! Lighten up young blood, and thanks fa the advice Imma go check on Dianna quick fast."
"Alright."
Dianna's POV
Ion know who that nigga was that just bumped into me but he seem off, erryone round here starting to seem that way. Ever since I stepped in that room and Cedes told me that shit I ain't been able to thank straight! I ain't heard from her since last night and she ain't text me saying she was home neither. I tried calling my sister too and she ain't been answering! Fuck! The type of time she on she'll do anything and after her seeing my phone and Mercedes name in it I got a feeling she gon go after her tryna get sum answers. All this time it was Cedes and she ain't even say nun, maybe she was scared to after I told her I got hemmed up by boss. I gotta do errythang I can to protect her and I wanna protect my sister but she on demon time. It's her fault we in this mess and now she wanna bring somebody else down for it. Even though Cedes did this shit she don't deserve to die or suffer over it. From what it's sounding like and from what I saw and felt in that room she had to do it. Fuck!
"Hey Dianna, errythang okay gurl?" Monroe asked placing her hand on my shoulder, I couldn't help but flinch cause the thoughts circling round in my head got me feeling all jumpy and shit.
"Awe hey Monroe, yeah errythang good." I said sitting down at the bar wiping a tear from my face.
"Gurl what's wrong?"
"It's nun I'm good..."
"Don't seem like it. Listen you don been here fa me these past few days when I been stressed na I can be here fa you if you let me..."
Monroe really is nice and I feel like I can talk to her but no one can know about this shit! I don't have no choice but to semi lie.
"Me and Cedes just been having problems that's all."
"I was wondering when you would tell me bout her..."
"Tell you?"
"Yeah gurl I been knowing fa a minute. I know that look anywhere..."
"Look?"
"Look of caring about someone so much you'll do anythang fa em, you had that look on ya face last night when she came in the club. Listen whatever y'all going through I'm sure you'll get passed it."
"Thanks Monroe..."
"You welcome gurl, na imma go catch up wit Uncle Clifford but how bout you take the rest of the night off, heyell have a drink! Jupiter?"
"Yeah Monore?"
"Pour our good sis a drink she need it."
"Alright!"
"Thanks Jupiter..."
"Ain't no problem gurl."
Big L's POV
This lil storage unit I got this nigga in sound proof so nobody should hear him. "FUCK!" I said looking at the time on my phone, Duffy gave me all this shit and I gotta run it. I texted my contacts who are buyers to meet me over at the Kroger for they pick up. Sum of these niggas get high, and sum of these niggas slanging shit but I don't give a fuck as long as we make ends meet. I locked the storage unit up and started heading down there.
"Isis...?" I asked walking up to the spot I sell at sometimes. What she doing round here this time of night and next to sum of my customers?
"Big...Big L...whatchu...whatchu doing hure?"
"Whatchu doing next to my customer? You get high?" When I asked her that she ain't say nun, but the way she was looking at the shit in my hand I could tell she don done this shit before. "That night I introduced you to Uncle Clifford...when we walked in the locker room you was talm bout 'I need to get rid of this shit!' Or sum shit like that... so is this the shit you was tryna get rid of?"
"Big L Ion know whatchu talm bout...I just came out here cause it's my night off and I needed to get sum groceries..." she said looking at the store behind us, she got a bag in her hand but it ain't no grocery bag.
"Umhum...well go on then." I said pointing in the direction her car was parked, Ion need nobody in the club knowing I'm doing this shit mane, and she don't need to be out looking for this shit.
"Mane is you gon let me buy the product or what?!"
"Damn nigga don't you see I'm talking fool?! Here nigga." I said passing one of my customers the drugs.
Roulette's POV
"Toy? Extra? Where these bitches at?!" I'm getting tired of waiting for these bitches, if they asses ain't gon show up I'm bout a dip. Duffy wondering where I'm at anyway.
"Extra?" Toy asked looking over at her "I ain't wanna do this shit anyway, and not to mention Whisper don't know nun about it, you planning on telling her what we doing Roulette?"
I jumped up off the bed so quick "Who you thank you is questioning me Toy? Huh?!"
"Get out my face! And I'm questioning you because Whisper posed to be yo bitch! Last time I checked you tell her errythang, yet she ain't here. Yeen planning on bringing Isis in on this shit are you?!" Even though I wanna rock her shit right now Toy do got a point. I know she right bout all this shit, and Whisper is my bitch fa life, but we have a chance to make serious stacks and the more gurls on our team the more money we gon make in the long run, not to mention wit more gurls in rotation the more protection Imma have if word get on the street. "Listen Toy, I know where you coming from okay and Imma handle it but let's just focus on why we here right na." I said rubbing her arm with my hand.
"You better handle it."
"They here ya'll!" "Extra Extra said getting up from the bed running towards the door. Soon as she opened it two sets of heels started walking right through it.
"Hey y'all, glad y'all could make it."
"Yeah, Roulette we just came to hear what you had to say..."
"Y'all sure that's the only reason y'all came? Judging by what y'all rolled up in here wearing it's proof positive that y'all need this extra money."
"Roulette!"
"My bad. Come rap wit me over here y'all." I said pointing to the bed so we could all sit down. "Listen, y'all see this shit, vvs's in my chain, stack in one pocket stack in the other, get a good look at Toy and Extra, this shit gon be worth ya wild."
"What type of shit are we talm bout?" They asked looking over at Toy and Extra.
"So, I see they ain't tell you but that's exactly why they on my team, in this case closed mouths do get fed. Keep this shit on the low and you'll be making as much bank as you want. Na this here y'all is fast money and the only way to get fast money is slanging or..."
"BITCHHHH!"
"Listen if y'all ain't interested Imma understand but just know if y'all start doing this ain't no stopping all willy nilly, you in till I say you out! Understand?"
"We understand..."
"So...is y'all taking these two bricks a piece or walking out that do'?" I asked pulling out the two bricks and looking at the door. At first the look on they faces was one of fear and I understand, they know I'm not to be fucked wit but if they do this shit they don't err gotta worry bout money again. They both looked over at Extra, then at Toy...fa I knew it they hands was on top of mines grabbing the bricks.
"I guess we'll take the bricks..."
"Good choice." My smile got bigger and bigger looking at the bitches grab the money, we gon make bank. "Na y'all ain't gotta do nun tonight unless you want to but tonight is strictly fa laying down the rules, tomorrow Imma meet wit y'all over by the club and we'll talk sum more."
"Yeah y'all was wondering where all my Extra money coming from and this it."
"So you be doing shit in the club Extra?"
"Hey, get it in where you can fit it in, y'all can too."
"Like I said, long as y'all stack this paper bring and bring me my cut Imma protect you and don't worry bout Uncle Clifford, Big L, or Monroe, we gon be good long as y'all keep this shit on the low."
The next morning...
Cliff's POV
"Marques I told you I'm fine!"
"Cliff, nigga you said we was going to see the doctor so that's what we doing! Na get up."
"You see how daddy treat me Two Step, Imma listen to him though." I said putting our puppy down getting out of the bed. It was hard coming in last night looking Granmuva dead in her face lying to her. I went over to my vanity to get ready and looked at my face. Touching it I flinched. Realizing I couldn't put any makeup on I just grabbed one of my wigs off the stand.
"C'mon Shawty." Lamarques said helping me up and in my clothes.
"You know I can put on my clothes myself right?"
"I know but I'm still helping you."
"Ahhh, let's get to this hospital den." I said while he put on my shirt and jacket for me. Soon as we got outside I asked him to drive. "Wait Marques, can we stop by the gas station my tank empty."
"Alright Cliff."
"Ooo and Imma go inside and get me sum barbecue chips too!"
"Shawty I know that's the real reason you wanna stop anyway cause yo tank half full."
"Drive faster heyell, a bitch need her snacks!" I told him shoving his shoulder. This the first time I seent him smile since that night.
"Hey man, can you fill it up?" He asked the man while he stepped out of the car.
"Marques...I don't need a chaperone." I said getting out the car myself walking towards the door.
"Shawty quit wit all that, I want a snack too." He said opening the sto' door for me. "After you."
Soon as we walked in I spotted my chips and got a few twislers too mmmkay! "Marques you ready I'm done."
"Hold on shawty."
There he go by the fridge. "Marques you really getting a soda nigga?"
"What? I'm thirsty and since you won't feed me I gotta drink sum..."
"Feed you?" I asked then he started walking closer to me...
"Yeah shawty, I haven't been feed in a minute." He said slapping my ass as hard as he could.
"Lamarques owww!"
"Sorry shawty, I can't help it you look so good."
"You woulda got to look at me more if you stayed at the club last night. Even though you came back Lamarques you had a bitch more worried than a mafucka'...where you go anyway..."
"Cliff, I just slid wit Woddy fa a few. A nigga had to clear his head."
"Clear yo head huh?"
"Yeah Cliff..."
"Lamarques where did you go?"
"Cliff, shawty right na I just wanna make sure you good so let's get to this doctor and make sure you are okay...?" He said rubbing the side of my cheek with his thumb as I fell into the palm of his hand.
"Alright let's go den." I told him caressing his arm but sum else got his attention. "Marques? Marques...?" There he was, this kid that tortured me that night waking up behind us. "Marques...Marques let's just go..." I asked barely taking my eyes off the kid, it's hard to. He walking around normal while me and Lamarques walking around physically bruised and in my case emotionally bruised.
"Cliff, take my stuff and this 20."
"Marques...?"
"Go Cliff." He said pushing me to the register. I already know he gon do sum stupid shit, and I don't want the kid to hurt as much as I did but the other part of me want him to. Monroe was right last night.
Big Murda's POV
I sent Cliff up to the register cause I wanna talk to lil nigga for a second. Maybe not talk...
"Hey! Get off of me!"
I wasn't tryna hear that shit. I grabbed lil nigga by the neck and took him back to the bathrooms.
*PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH*
"Fuck mane! Hey Look! look! I'm sorry mane!"
"Where Maine?!" I asked punching him again. "I'm not gon ask you again! The way I see it is it's you right now in this bathroom or him!"
"Alright mane shit! I haven't seen him since that night okay? If he's not at his crib I don't know where he is! I swear!"
"Lil nigga you must can't hear me, lemme open ya ears!" I smashed his face into the mirror and broke the glass.
"Ahh! Please Please..."
"Lemme come closer so you can hear" I said putting my face right up to his "You better tell me where I can fucking find him before I put a bullet in the back of yo skull!" I pulled out my 45 and pulled the safety off putting it against his temple.
"Mane, I told you if he ain't at his crib I don't know where he is. Please...Please..."
Lil nigga really don't know where he at so I don't have no use for him. I put him to sleep, and walked back out to the car.
"Murda he's just a kid."
"I'm not tryna hear nun of that Cliff."
"What did you do? This is the reason we in this mess cause you trigger happy!"
"Trigger happy? TRIGGER HAPPY?! Look at yaself shawty!" I said turning her around so she could look at her reflection through the window of her car. "THIS THE REASON THAT NIGGA CANT BREATHE ANOTHER DAY ON THIS EARTH, AND THIS THE REASON THAT NIGGA IN THE BATHROOM AIN'T BREATHING!"
"Murda, tell me you didn't kill him? LAMARQUES?! And you left his body in there?!"
"It's gon get handled and as far as lighting his ass up what's done is done Cliff.
"Let's just get to this hospital Lamarques..."
Woddy's POV
After I picked up ole dudes body from the gas station and buried it I was on my way back home. Damn I'm glad no body heard this nigga ends this fools life in that bathroom, but he gotta learn how to do shit under the cap, we can't risk nobody finding out all this shit before our tour. I looked down at my phone to text Lamarques that it was handled but before I could I had to unlock my phone...I caught myself staring at our pic on it. Last night I told her I ain't want half of her and after what happened it just made what I'm feeling for her that much more clearer. I do miss her and want to go back but if she got feelings for another nigga I don't know if I can handle that shit.
*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*
If this Lamarques at the door, he really need to a check his phone cause I texted him already telling him I handled the shit.... "Ms LaTanya...?"
"Woddy?!"
"Yeah, whatchu...whatchu doing here?"
"It's nice seeing you after all this time boy! How's ya momma?" She asked tapping my arm.
"Ain't seen moms in a minute but she good, I talk to her erryday."
"I wish Lamarques would talk to me erryday!" She said rolling her eyes, her attitude crazy but she funny as heyell.
"Sorry Ms. LaTanya..." she know the reason why Lamarques don't talk to her erryday cause she ain't been around but looking at her right na I can tell she miss him. "I heard y'all talked a while back, how that go?"
"You know Lamarques...he said he'll need sum time..."
"Yeah that's him."
"Anyway is he around? I been calling and ain't been getting no reply back."
Shit! I know he aint tell her bout Cliff yet and his ass don't even live here.
"And I didn't know y'all lived together. I'll just come in and wait fa him."
"Ah, Ms LaTanya Ion thank that's a good idea cause he out right na, listen how bout you come by later he should be back by then."
"Alright Woddy, tell him his ass better be here cause I don't like the run around! And tell him to answer his damn phone!" She said throwing up her deuces sign walking back to her car. Damn niggas have the most fucked up timing to wanna do shit.
Patrice's POV
"Ahh." I said sighing as I got up out the car. "Damn y'all needa fix these pot holes! These Louis Vuttion's!" I started strutting into the Sheriffs office to see what's the hold up wit this club notice, I need the Pynk shut down and I don't plan on waiting 30 more days. "Excuse me! Aweee, well if it ain't deputy Jesse ahahaha. Still working here?"
"Hello Patrice."
"Aht, Mayor Bishop."
"Pastor to what do we owe the pleasure?" Sherrif Bailey asked in the distance. I took my shades off and walked over to his desk, this mane stay acting like he doing shit wit all this paper work knowing he ain't doing shit. What he should be doing is watching that club.
"Morning Sheriff Bailey. I came on down here cause you and yo deputies promised ya'll would keep an eye on that Pynk. But seem to me like all y'all just sitting round here, ya staff that is. This what y'all do all day? Guess that's why shit don't get done round here."
"Mayor Woodbine with all do respect we honored ya wish when it came to serving that notice but we have to wait thirty days to investigate the club to see if it's essential. My officers are not permitted to do your dirty work they get paid to protect and serve civilians of this town. So our time being wasted won't be tolerated. I'm sure you understand."
"Last time I checked Sheriff I sign y'all checks, all the county checks in fact, and I am the mayor of this city so y'all 'posed to accommodate me."
"Mayor Woodbine we hear you, and we will in thirty days. Na is there anything else we can help you wit since you don come all the way down here."
"Hum! Well since you asked there is sum you can help me wit..." I passed him the restraining order that Mississippi mut and his lil minion called themselves serving me wit the other day. "Na if I recall being the Mayor of this city grants you a kind of clout, I wanna know if that clout allows me to...overrule this here order..."
"Mayor Bishop...?"
"Awe C'mon just answer my question Sheriff Bailey...does it?"
"Well, being that you're the Mayor I'm sure you can find a way around it...if that's what your asking."
"Um, I see...well thank you Sheriff Bailey, and if I need yo services...I will be giving you and yo deputy here a call."
"See you later Mayor Woodbine."
"That you will...GET OFF OF ME NIGGA! I KNOW WHERE THE DOOR IS!" I said shrugging Jesse off of me and his slick ass tried to push me out the door.
Soon as I made it outside I know I had to make a phone call...
*DIALING MERCEDES...*
"Aht! I know this phone didn't just go straight to voicemail?!" I said looking down at the phone. I decided it was best to leave a message after our conversation last night, I know she mad but she gotta understand I'm doing this fa her, fa Terricka, fa all the young gurls and boys that have been hurt by the sin in this city. The parents they've lost, the time they've lost cause of this, I did what was right. "Cedes it's me...Listen I know you was a lil upset last night but I had to do what I had to do. Listen just call me back!" I said hanging up the phone. Na I gotta go over to this damn office and keke wit these crackers knowing sum of em got it out fa me! But that's okay cause it will be a cold day in heyell for they get me up outta the seat God made fa me. "Hum! And fix ya parking lot while y'all at it mafucka's! Messing up a good pair of shoes!" I said putting on my shades getting in the car, it's gon be a long day.
Mercedes POV
*INCOMING CALL FROM PATRICE...*
*DECLINE*
"This bitch ass can go straight to voicemail."
"Mama? You okay?"
"Ah, yeah T I'm good what's up?" I asked her as she came in the living room. "What's wrong you good?" She started to cry as she sat on the couch beside me. "Terricka?! What's wrong?"
"Mama, what happened to you? This morning I seen you getting ready in the bathroom and I seen your neck."
Fuck! I guess covering this shit up ain't gon work. She see errythang.
"Listen T, I'm okay."
"Stop lying!" She said standing up from the couch.
"Lil mama..."
"No! I don't wanna hear the next word out of your mouth if it's gonna be a lie. Does this have anything to do wit you going to the club the other night? Why was that man outside last night asking if you seen Uncle Clifford? What happened when you went over there?"
"T I'm fine." I stood up to touch her but she just pulled away.
"Why won't you tell me? Mama if sum happens to you I don't know what I would do..."
"Hey! Don't talk like that na! Imma always be here for you and Imma always be good!"
"I wish I could believe that mama..."
"T...?" She ran in her room and slammed the door
Big Bone's POV
"Diamond...? DIAMOND?!" It took me forever to get his attention cause he at his lil alter doing roots and shit. Maybe I should keep him around considering we in this mess but after last night it's clear he still on that bitch! "Diamond Imma go stay wit my sister." Surprised that got his attention.
"Sister?"
"The woman whose house you took me too a week ago, listen I don't need to be here anymore."
"What make you think that?"
"Diamond, don't play you know I don't need to be here anymore I'm just admitting it."
"....how long fa we handle this here situation?" He asked walking over to me. "That's why you going to stay wit yo sister huh?"
"Ion know Whatchu talm bout."
"Big Bone na you don't play. I saw the way you was eye balling her last night while she was on stage, just like I saw you follow her back to the locker room. You think she know sum don't you?"
"So what if I do?"
"Don't be doing nun crazy..."
"You don't needa be worried bout what the fuck I'm doing!" I yelled in his face but then I looked closer at him..."You know sum too, don't you? I can see it in yo eyes."
"Ion know whatchu talm bout..."
"Diamond, I know you do. You know who it was don't you?"
"Big Bone."
"That's why you let us lock you in that trunk that night. Doing all this root shit you coulda broke out but you didn't cause you knew who really did this shit! Who you tryna protect huh?"
"Big Bone..."
"Who is it?! You know what imma find out!" I said walking out the door. Seem like errybody know who did this shit but me!
Cliff's POV
"Ahhhh!"
"Cliff calm down!"
"Lamarques this what I was afraid of. Doctor said I can't do as much or be under too much stress. I gotta club to run!"
"Cliff, all he said was that you can't spend as much time there, not that you can't be there period, just relax shawty."
"Relax...I wish I could Lamarques, C'mon."
"Where we going?"
"I gotta go tell Big L and I rather tell his ass in person I won't be there most nights." We pulled up to the club right before it opened so I can tell Big L this shit. He ain't gon be happy cause I ain't been here most nights already.
"Clifford mane, I ain't thank you was coming tonight..."
"Hey Big L, listen I wanna talk to you can we go in the office?"
"Sure Clifford, lets go mane."
After we made it back here to the office we sat down.
"You gon need a glass of brown liquor for this..." I told him pointing to our alcohol stash across the way. He poured me and him a glass and sat down across from me.
"What's on ya mind Clifford?"
"Listen, doctor said Imma have to take a few days off."
"Few days off? Clifford you just got back!"
"I know, I know, listen it's not like I'm taking a few days off consecutively. Doctor said I can be here erry other night long as I keep the stress light."
"Alright mane, listen Imma be texting you errythang that's going down."
"Oh I know, and if yo ass don't I know Monroe gon keep a bitch updated."
"You gon be here tonight?"
"Naw, but I'll be here tomorrow though. I know you gon hold it down!" I said pressing my knuckles against his dabbing him up.
"That's right! I gotchu boss."
"Ooo and just to let you know, that new sercurity guard did his thang last night while you was gone for what seemed like forever! Glad yo ass finally did call me cause I thought you got caught up!" When I said that he had the strangest look on his face.
"Caught up...?"
"Yeah nigga."
"I just had to read lil mama to sleep that's all..."
"Umhum, was you really reading her to sleep or putting her momma to sleep?!"
"Clifford mane," he said smiling putting his hands in the air.
"Big L you's a pimp personified!" I said cackling.
"What you said boss! Anyway you and lil nigga get home safe."
"We will Big L, don't burn up all my chicken na or my club fa I get back tomorrow."
"I won't Clifford..."
"And I know ya ass is rolling ya eyes while I'm walking away..." I said switching out the office.
I walked out the office and started walking out on this floor.
"Hey Isis! Whatchu doing gurl?!" I asked watching her on the pole.
"Hey Uncle Clifford, just came to get a few runs in before tonight. And oh my god what happened to you?!" She said making her way off the stage and in my face.
"Gurl, gimme six feet chere, we still in a pandemic chileee."
"Ooop sorry Uncle Clifford it's just...oh my god!"
"Aht Aht! Don't be worried bout me worry bout yaself and how you gon make niggas look past the fact that yo ass can't dance tonight!"
"Aht!" She said playfully slapping my shoulder.
"But naw, Isis you good. I been meaning to ask you how you been?"
"Really? Why?"
"Just wanna check in on you that's all, you know after the soak down I been wanting to."
"I been good Uncle Clifford..."
"You sure. You know lying to ya boss will get you fired. It's one of my rules..."
"I promiseeee..."
"Alright na, Imma head out! See yo ass tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow Uncle Clifford."
Keyshawns POV
After what Woddy said last night my mind been on 100, I know he don't want half of me but he never only had half. It's just when Diamond came back so did sum of them old feelings.
*INCOMING CALL FROM UNKNOWN CALLER...*
Who could this be?
"Hello?" I said picking up.
"Hello is this Keyshawn Harris?"
"Yes this is she, how can I help you?"
"This is Camae's beauty supply out in Jackson."
"Ohh!" I said jumping up from the couch "Hello, I ain't thank I would hear from y'all again." Thought my deals was pending...
"Keyshawn, we're calling because we wanted to know if you wanted to renew your lash deal."
"Really?"
"Yes ma'am. They been selling like hotcakes and customers coming in saying their a few of your InstaSippis want to know when the re-up is. That's why we're calling. And not just for this store but Camae's around the world." What the lady was saying was sounding real crazy, but I guess me posting on Instagram all the time don't help.
"Ahh, I thank I could renew...renew the deal. How do I contact y'all?"
"Well we actually..."
*DOORBELL RINGS*
I opened the door and seen a bag filled wit lashes.
"We've sent you a supply of lash styles to choose from that you want to be featured in your lash line. After you pic the ones you want you can send us the names of them. It would help greatly if you get models to model them and review them on their social media platforms."
"I can do that..."
"Well we'll expect to be hearing from you real soon Keyshawn, take care."
After the lady hung up I had to pinch myself. I know just the place to go for models too, and I know Imma run into Diamond... "Keyshawn, just get in and get out..." I said to myself, I know the tension is a lil high between me and Diamond but during the time he was gone my heart found someone else. "Lemme try a few of these on myself to give my SippiCup's a lil taste." I took a pair of the lashes out of one of the boxes and tried them on... "Oooweee, sweet baby Jesus! These lashes is live!!!! All the hoes gon love this!" I said posing for a picture to post to my gram, soon as I did the likes started racking up... and guess who liked my picture? Woddy...and Diamond.... "SHIT!"
Diamond's POV
"Wassup Big L."
"Aye, wassup Diamond, listen that new nigga here and Uncle Clifford told me he did good last night while I was gone."
"Yeah where was you anyway...?" when I asked that it's like you could hear the crickets outside as quiet as he got. "You good Big L?"
"Yeah Diamond Imma be back in the office if y'all need anythang." He said walking away. Here Rod go right here.
"Wassup mane?" I asked dabbing him up.
"Yeah wassup."
"I ain't ask you last night but seem like you new round here..."
"Yeah sum like that, just came looking for someone."
"Looking for someone?"
"Yeah but I can't seem to find 'em." He had a lil hurt in his eyes.
"Just keep looking bra...I'm sure you will." I said grabbing him by the shoulder.
"Yeah I hope so mane."
"Listen...bout that chain"
"What nigga, the way you keep looking at it Imma have to grab you one from the crib. Wassup wit you? You seen one like it before?"
"I seen a few like it before..." I said patting the nigga down in front of me but before I could finish talking to Rod I looked up and seen her. Her legs were walking in the direction of the entrance of the club towards us and my eyes wandered her whole body till they made their way up to her face. Seeing her was making my heart race all while I was stuck in a trance.
"You good bra?"
"Ah yeah, yeah I'm good."
"You know her?" He asked nodding his head over in her direction. What she doing here?
"Used to.. Ion know anymore..."
"How bout you go inside, I'll cover out here." He said patting my shoulder. Guess he seen how starstruck a nigga was. I walked inside and started doing my job.
"Diamond!"
"Yeah Big L!" I said answering the walky talky
"Come back here fa a second mane."
"Big L I'm busy holding it down out here."
"Nigga get back here."
What this nigga want mane? I started walking back to the office but to get back there I have to walk past the locker room and when I did I seent her...she was by the mirrors next to the bathroom stalls wit Jupiter.
"Yeah gurl all you gotta do is pose fa this picture and I can tag you right?"
"Gurl! Heyell yeah! You giving me free lashes last time I checked!" They both just started laughing but her eyes made their way up from Jupiter and looked back at me through the mirror.
"Diamond..." when she say my name it feel like we the only two people in the room. The energy started shifting and I guess Jupiter felt it.
"Thanks fa the lashes Keyshawn, Imma see you later though...excuse me Diamond." She said running towards me at the entrance of the locker room.
"You alright Jupiter..." I said as she walked by me, I didn't even look at her cause my eyes were on her... "Keyshawn, you back..."
"Yeah, just came back for sum of the gurls...I see you back too, Uncle Clifford must've worked her magic getting you to step back through these doors."
"Yeah you could say that..." I said walking fully in the locker room over to where she was standing.
"Diamond...
"Yeah...?"
"You mind if we talk...?"
I started inching closer and closer to her.
"Whatchu wanna talk bout? You know the other night when you left....I ain't want you to go, so why did you?"
"Diamond I had to."
"That...that guy came by here after you left. That's who you was talking to on the phone right?"
"Diamond I can't..."
"Was it...?" I asked getting lost in her eyes, I don't like the fact that another nigga got her attention but right na I just want the truth.
"Yes."
"I thought he was looking for sum."
"What you thought he was he looking fa?"
"You know what I thought he was looking for...who I thought he was looking for..." I brushed my hand against her face.
"Diamond..." she said following the direction of my fingers wit her eyes.
"The same person I...I always find myself looking for...you." I brushed my fingers against her lips and ain't take my eyes off 'em.
"Umm..." her body became still and focused on me like I became focused on every detail that is her.
"Still don't wanna tell me bout him huh?"
"Diamond I already told you I can't..."
"If you can't talk bout him, why don't we finish talm bout what we was talm bout last night."
"I don't remember you wanting to do much talking Diamond."
"You right...I didn't wanna do much talking cause when we just talk we get distracted." I leaned in closer and my breathing started matching hers. My heart rate slowed as I brought my hand down to pull her waist closer to mines.
"Diamond..." I picked her up and put her on top of the sink.
"Ion want nomo distractions." I said as my eyes traced every inch of her body."I'm ready."
"Ahh Diamond...." I started kissing her neck as her hands slowly came up to hold the back of mine. "Ahhh..." she brought her hands from my neck down to the sides of the sink holding onto it as I fell deeper and deeper into her.
"You want me to stop?" I asked coming up for air as I wrapped her legs around my waist and leaned into her. "I will if you want me to..." she brought her hands up from holding onto the sides of the sink to my face so I didn't stop.
I brought my fingers up to my lips and licked them while I gazed into her beautiful eyes. "Ahhh." She moaned looking down at every stroke I made wit my tongue against my fingers till I brought them down to her spot and rubbed them against her clit. "Ahhh...." I started feeling her heart beat against my chest as we leaned into each other's space. We shoulda picked a better spot then this sink but we here now. The sink started to shake wit every brush my fingers made up against her so I took her hand and put it on my neck so she could hold onto me. She put her other hand on my shirt grabbing it tighter and tighter bringing my body closer and closer to her. "Fuck..." she moaned as my tongue grazed her neck tasting her soft chocolate skin. I could feel her throbbing against my fingers as she became wetter and wetter. Biting my lip I leant into her licking her chin bringing my tongue back down to her chest. "Shit, Fuck!" Her legs started shaking around my waist as my fingers went around in circles against her spot.
"I want you to cum." I said softly holding her waist bringing her body next to mines as she released.
"Ahhh..."
"Na, I wanna taste you..." I said slowly getting on my knees in front of her. Then we heard footsteps walking into the locker room.
"DIAMOND!"
Shit that's Big L. I got up and turned around to face him. The look on his face telling me he ain't gon never let me forget this moment.
"Listen, do this shit on ya own time Diamond but fa right na I need you back in the office."
"I'll be right there Big L." I told him still covering Keyshawn as I stood in front of her till he left the locker room entrance. I turned back around to face her."Sorry Keyshawn..."
"It's fine...go. It's fine..."
Whisper's POV
"Past me that blunt Rou." I said waving my hands underneath her face brushing my nails against it fucking wit her.
"I told you that set was fire when we went to the nail shop! And bae, you know I got you bitch." She said passing the blunt on over to me.
"Na where we going? You got a bitch out the house all late and shit and ain't even tell me what was up?"
"Whisper, hold up we here." I looked out the window and got pissed looking at the big ole sign in the front of the club that read 'New gurls up! They sum of the baddest bitches in all of Chucalissa!' I knew what new gurls meant, but baddest bitches in all of Chucalissa? Really Uncle Clifford?
"Roulette what are we doing here?!" I asked raising my hands in the air not letting go of the blunt.
"Listen if you still got that bitch on our team." What the fuck we doing back at the Pynk?!
"Whisper I told you I got rid of her, I'm here to pick up the money from Extra Extra. And when I come back I gotta tell you about a business opportunity I talked to Toy and Extra about."
"Business opportunity?!"
"Yeah bitch. Na Imma slide in there."
"Well Imma wait in the car."
"Alright den, I'll be right out!" She said slamming the door walking through the back entrance. Don't look like Uncle Clifford here tonight so she shouldn't have no trouble. When she went through the door I seen one of the most prettiest bitches I've ever seen waking right out of it!
"MISS MISSISSIPPI?!"I yelled stepping out the car to give her the biggest fan gurl hug I could. This gurl must thank I'm weird by na.
"Hey gurl!" She said walking over to the car. She look flustered...
"You alright?" I asked looking her up and down, my aura telling me she a lil torn about sum . "Errythang good?" I asked reaching out to rub her arm.
"Yeah gurl, thanks for checking on me..."
"Awe it ain't no problem...Are those lashes in that there bag. Na you know I gotta sample sum!!!!"
"Well gurl sit on this hood and I'll put them on you, but after we gotta take a few pictures cause these the new ones I'm sampling!"
"Gurl I'll take pictures naked to try on these thangs!" I said cracking up sitting on the hood of Rou's car.
"Don't do all that na."
After she put them on me she pulled out her phone so I could see how they looked.
"Bitchhhh! These is the ones!!!!" I said fixing my hair looking through the camera on her phone.
"They sho'll is..."
"Aht!" She gasped turning around."Whisper who dis?"
"Hi, I'm Rod." He said reaching out for her hand.
"Ooo, um...hi...I'm going...." She said tip toeing off. That's exactly how I feel errytime I see his ass, flustered as fuck! I know she sensed this tension.
"Whatchu doing here Rod?"
"What I'm doing here? I work here remember."
"Oh how could I forget...?"
"Whatchu doing here yaself?"
"My friends inside..."
"Same friend from the spades tournament?"
"Yeah..."
"Walk wit me fa a minute?"
"Why would I do that?"
"Cause you can't resist this face..." he right though, fine ass.
"Alright but I only got a few minutes fa she come out."
"That's all I need..." he took my hand and when he touched me I couldn't help but smile a lil. I miss how he make me feel. His presence make me feel warm and free, shame it all got fucked up.
"Where we going Rod?"
"Just back here..."
"Rod why you bring me behind the club?"
"Cause this the only place I can talk to you without lingering ears."
"Glad to see you figuring out fast bout people down here wit listening ears."
"Sit wit me Whis..."
Whis... I haven't heard that name in a while. I sat down on the bench next to him and got close.
"What?" I asked cause he was just staring at me.
"I missed this face, can I appreciate it fa a second?" He started brushing his fingers against the side of my face then brought them to my lips. I could feel my breath rolling back off his fingers as he touched them. Staring deep into his eyes they were telling me he want me back but it's hard for me to believe. He moved his fingers from my lips down to my neck, then his fingers made their way down to my chest and his eyes followed. The way his hands started caressing my body I felt like I was in an eclipse. I couldn't help but breathe slower wit every stroke he made wit his fingers against my skin. I started aching for him.
"I missed you too..." I couldn't help it, the words just fell out my mouth. I leaned in and fell into him. Our lips touched and sent a spark through my body. "Ummm." I moaned while kissing him. I put my hands around his neck and pushed him back on the bench. Smiling at his face as we broke our kiss I got on top of him. Sitting on him while not breaking our kiss I started pulsating..."Rod...?"
"Yeah Whis..." he said barely pulling his lips away from mine.
"Ahhh, take off yo pants..."
"Whisper?! Back here?"
"You been all up my ass since the day you got here and na when I give you the green light you wanna ask questions...?" I asked smiling at him.
"My fault..." he said wrapping his hands back around my waist pressing his tongue against my neck.
"Fuck!" I said pulling him in closer and closer to me as I wrapped my legs around him. I grabbed his belt buckle and undid it.
"Whis..." he said finally looking deep into my eyes.
"Just the tip..." when I said that he started to slide it inside me before someone barged outside interrupting us.
"Fuck, them monkey drops! This nigga just hit me in the head wit his fucking money gun! Wait?! Whisper that's you gurl?!"
"Hey Peanut Butter..." I said sitting back down on the bench... "Rod...Imma go back out front..." I whispered in his ear getting up.
"I'll walk you."
While we were walking back upfront to the car I seen my best friend talking to this hoe. I knew she ain't cut her loose. "Roulette...?"
"ISIS!!!"
I looked back at Rod while he called out her name and had a flashback. He was calling her name that night too.
Dianna's POV
"Hey Dianna gurl, you leaving already?"
"Yeah Monroe, I just came to give y'all my tip out."
"Member what I said na alright?" She said winking at me, she gave me sum good advice last night but I only gave her half the truth, I can't tell no one else bout this shit and risk them being in danger too.
"Errythang alright Dianna?" Big L asked as I handed him the money, the look in his eyes spooked me out even more. Heyell only reason I'm thanking bout this shit is because what Cedes told me last night. Who else had sum to do wit this cause it couldn't have been just her and Uncle Clifford that took out Montavious and if it was just them how they get rid of his body on they own without leaving any tracks or breadcrumbs for Devoted to find. The gang got plenty of ways of finding someone, specially if it's one of our...they own. Fuck! I really gotta throw my sister off this track!
"Yeah, Big L I'm good. Bye y'all." I said walking out the office and out to my car. I been calling and texting Cedes not getting no reply back, and not to mention I been calling my sister. I'm guessing her ass tryna be petty by not picking up.
*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*
"C'mon Cedes answer the door!" I said knocking again. I been texting and calling since last night and she ain't been answering.
*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*
"D...?"
"Hey! Cedes why yeen been answering the phone? I called a million times tryna see if you made it out the club safe the other night?"
"..."
"Cedes...?"
"D, you should go."
"Go? Why?"
"Just please go..." her voice started shaking and I ain't know why till...I looked at her neck.
"Cedes what's on yo neck?!"
When I asked her she quickly tried to cover it up wit her hand.
"Cedes...?! Who did this to you?" I asked putting my hand over hers. The look in her eyes one of fear and I understand why, but I already told her I was gon protect her.
"It's nothing."
"This big ole cut on ya neck saying otherwise."
"Dianna."
Dianna?
"Listen I gotta go..."
"Cedes wait...!" She slowly closed the door in my face and after she did I could hear her fall to the floor and cry on the other side of it. "Cedes...? I...I'm sorry..." I said holding my hands up against the door as it rubbed against the side my cheek. This door and her the only thing stopping me from where I really wanna be. I tear fell out my eye to the ground as it started to rain, I knew it was gon rain.
