Chris P.O.V.
My cousin's bestfriend just left, and damn she's bad. She plays video games, and she used to play football, where was she when I was in high school?
"Aye Jay?" I called turning to my cousin.
"What's up?" He said.
"What's the deal with your home girl?"
"Who Caramia?" He laughed, he already knew where I was going with this. "That'll never happen, Cara's different."
"Nah, personality wise she's different, but they're all the same when it comes to men." I smirked.
"Not Cara she's not gonna care for all the things you're gonna do to get at her. You see where her priorities are with her daughter. She's not gonna let any dude get in the way of that, not to mention she doesn't trust outsiders. Me I'm family, I've known her since we were kids, but you're an outsider to her." He had a point she even made it known to me that her daughter was her top priority along with school. I'll give her that she had her shit together.
"Speaking of Little Bit, what's the deal with that? If she's so different why does she have a daughter, like a lot of these other basic ass teenage bit.." I caught myself before the whole word came out. "My bad cuz, I wasn't trying to say that." I could tell from how he looked at me that he didn't believe me.
"Whatever," he growled out. "be careful with your words when you speak about my friend. As for the deal with Symphony, you would have to hear from Cara, 'cause it's not my place to say."
"I guess I gotta try to make my own place with her." Again he laughed, damn is she that hard with people she doesn't know?
"Good luck with that." He walked upstairs to his room. I got up headed to the kitchen, guess I'll ask Aunt Viv about her.
"Hey Auntie."
"Hey baby, what can I help you with?"
"What's the story with Jamal's friend?" I could see her smirking while she was taking a pie out of the oven.
"I had a feeling you would be sweet on her when you met her. But her story, that's something you gone have to find out on your own. I can give you bits and pieces, but nothing more than that." I guess she was done cooking because we ended back up in the family room.
"I'll take the bits and pieces." I said sitting next to her on the couch.
"I can see now that you're gonna try to get close to her. Let me say it ahead of time, good luck 'cause that girl is a tough one. She doesn't really let people in, the only reason you saw her off guard is because when she's in this house she knows she's with family. But you catch her alone, boy you gone feel like Joshua trying to knock down Jericho's walls." Damn, I thought, is she really that guarded?
"Where does her daughter come in to play?"
"Now that," she rubbed my shoulder. "is one of the things you have to find out on your own." See this just made me want to figure her out even more.
"Did she have a rough childhood or something." I need at least a hint as to why they think I won't have a chance.
"Please," She laughed. "no her childhood wasn't rough, it wasn't the best, but it was far from rough. But it does have something to do with her being how she is." Maybe I can get in with her if I get close to Lil Mama. I guess my aunt knew what I was thinking because she stared at me. "Boy I see the wheels working in your head, don't think getting close to that baby is gonna give you a better chance with Cara. That child is just as closed off as her mother." I guess that was all she could tell me because she stopped talking, she leaned over, and kissed my cheek then went upstairs. I got a call from one of my boys telling me to meet up with him asap. I let Aunt Viv know I was gone, and how long I'd be gone. Yeah I know I'm a grown man, but this is my aunt's house I at least owe her the respect if knowing I'm leaving, and will be back late. I hopped in my black 2013 Aston Martin, pulled out of the drive way, and sped down the road. Pulling up to the warehouse I see one of the youngins I work with standing outside
the warehouse.
"Boss," he says frantically as I walk up to the door. "we didn't know I promise we didn't." I ignore him and head in making my way to the business room. All eyes were on me because they knew in this room, in this building I was Breezy, and Breezy is not somebody you wanna meet.
"What the fuck happened?!" I yelled at all them. My right hand man Tyga came up to me, technically he's not my right hand man, more like my partner, hell he's my bestfriend. We both run this town, that's why we came back the people we had in charge started fucking up.
"Basically, sweet Bianca," he turned the chair around to reveal Bianca tied up with tape on her mouth. Bianca was one of my youngins she was only twelve I always wondered why she wanted in so bad. She was one of my quiet ones. "has been playing both fields. We got hit up for fifty grand, and two kilos of weed because she told Marco how to get it."
"Shouldn't have done that B." I snatch the tape off of her mouth causing her to scream out. I yanked her hair back forcing her to look up at me. "Why'd you do it baby?"
"He just asked me where the warehouse was, I didn't know he'd come take anything. I swear, Boss I'd never do that."
"Really, then why the fuck is half of my damn money gone?" I wanted to hit her so bad, but that ain't me. "Ayana," she looked up at me. "you know how I feel about hitting girls." She didn't ask any questions she knew where I was going with this. She stood in front of Bianca, and backhanded her so hard her tooth flew out of her mouth, must have fallen from the back 'cause she had all her front teeth. She smacked her a few times until I stopped her.
"Alright I did it, I told him everything. I told him where the warehouse was, how much money was here, how much weed was here, and how to sneak in. I didn't want to get in the game he made me get in with you guys so I could tell him everything." I could tell she was telling the truth about not wanting to be in the game. She's been making drops for me for eight months, and every time she does one old, or new she still gets scared, and ask if one of the other girls or guys can do it.
"How do you know Marco?" She gasped for air in between sobs.
"He's my b-b-brother. He pr-promised he'd stop h-h-hur-hurting me. I'm sorry, please just kill me, and get it over with!" I knew something was wrong now, nobody begged for me to kill them, no matter how bad I tortured them. Something isn't right.
"What do you mean hurting you?" She gestured with her head towards her arms, and legs. I rolled up her sleeves, and her pants legs to reveal a bunch of scars and bruises, even some burns I looked up at her, "Are there anymore?" She gestured to her shirt, I untied her torso, and unzipped her jacket, she didn't even have anything under it so I could see everything. Her stomach was covered in black, and purple bruises, and her breasts looked like they'd been mutilated. Seeing the marks on her frail little body eliminated all traces of Breezy, Chris was back in action now. Everybody gasped at the sight, Ayana didn't need to be told, she just untied her completely. I told everybody we'd meet up another time.
"Breezy, she can't go back home." Ty said giving her his jacket after we got rid of her bloody clothes because her wounds opened back up.
"Yeah, man I know. Shit call Ace." Ace was our boss we may run our town, but only because he left it to us until we finished college to pursue what we really wanted to do. "I'm sorry we were so rough with you B." I treated her cuts, and bandaged her up.
"It's n-n-not your fault, he's been doing this to me since I was eight." She's been with this monster since she was a kid. Ty came back in a few minutes later.
"Ace says don't take her home, but we can't keep her in town either so he wants you to send her to Miami with him. We gotta get her out of Virginia." I nodded my head to Ty so he could start getting the flight preparations together, we were making sure she leaves tonight.
"B, you're gonna go live with Ace in Miami. He knows this wasn't your choice, and he understands that you were just protecting yourself. You can't stay here because your brother might come looking for you, and we gotta keep you safe okay?" She nodded.
"I don't wanna go alone." She sniffled out. Ty walked up to her putting his hand on her shoulder, smiling at her.
"You won't be alone," He said assuring her. "I'm going with you."
"Th-th-thank you so much. I'm sorry I made you lose money, and your supply." I hugged her, and rubbed her head.
"Shhh, it's not your fault." I cooed as she cried into my arms. She let me go only to hug Ty. We actually had a soft spot for B because she was the baby of the crew, so when they said she gave us up I was shocked. But now that I know why, she's back to being our Baby B. An hour later I was dropping her and Ty off at the airport, she continued thanking me and Ty while she kept crying. "Alright Baby B, when you get to Miami forget about all of this, and just be a kid. Keep in touch with me though."
"Okay." I watched from the window as her and Ty's plane took off, all I could do was ask God for forgiveness, and thank him for letting me be able to get her away from Compton and her crazy ass brother.
