L'a pov
I looked at her like she was crazy. Ion even understand why she'd ask me this. She knows I'm just gonna say, no.
"I said, I want you out the streets."
She repeated. Oh, so I did hear her correctly.
"We all want shit, but we can't always get what we want."
She sat up and looked at me.
"Leonard, you got shot! Doesn't that open your eyes to something?"
Yes, I needa be on top of my shit.
"Mhm, I need get back on my shit. I got caught lacking once."
"Are you forgetting the fact that, you got shot?!"
She's asking for too much now.
"Bro, I'm still living. It ain't like niggas don't get shot everyday. It ain't like ion always stay strapped."
"So you just want me to sit here, scared for your life? Not knowing if you finna come back to me in one piece, not knowing if you're not texting me back cause, you're busy or because something happened?"
I looked at her. Not my fault she wants to worry about me.... Ian ask her too. She doing this to herself.
"That's on you Unika. You don't have to, you choose to."
"Do you know how hard is was for me to think positive, when I came to the hospital and didn't know what was going on with you? I don't wanna feel like that again, or have the fear that something bad happened to you. Shit can be worse next time! I don't want anything to happen to you, I don't wanna lose you."
I sucked my teeth.
"Nothings gonna happen to me man. Stop saying that shit."
"I bet you said that before this shit happened. Now look we're we at!"
Why can't she just drop this topic. It's not happening.
"It's not happening, Nika. I suggest you drop this topic, and never bring it up again."
"Fine, since you wanna be like that. What's more important to you these streets, or us?"
"Go to sleep, because I promise you don't wanna know the answer to that question."
"So, you're really putting the streets over us? Over me? Wow..."
I'm definitely not dropping out these streets, for her. Period.

*next morning*
We was heading to go see L'a, just check on how bros doing. Rondo been good, he's been on bed rest too. He's just not in as much pain as L'a. Rondo weird tho, he don't mind playing King and having everybody doing everything for him. Now L'a, he hates that shit. He doesn't like asking people for shit, especially not Nika. I swear when it comes to that girl, he doesn't know what he want.
"You gone be straight bruh?"
I asked Rondo. We was at Maks house, he been staying here.
"Yea Imma be straight. Ken gone be here anyways."
I nodded. Mak was taking his sweet time. I swear, this nigga takes longer than a girl.
"Mak, bring yo cornball head ass on bro."
He came down stairs with a whole bunch of food.
"Nigga, wtf is all this?"
That nigga got bags or food for days.
"Huh? Oh, this for my best friend. She said he ain't got shit to eat there. You know, I can't let her starve."
I stared at him for a minute. I swear he's liked her since they were kids. He don't treat nobody like how he treats her. Dats tragic. Like how you let someone come live with you and they don't pay no bills. He puts food in this house, hella money on her pocket AND he still stay buying her shit.
"Well, ok then."
We left and headed to L'a house. We try and check on him everyday, cause with them 2 around each other 24/7....Ion gone kill the other. Despite how much they say they love each other. Them niggas is like 2 opposite magnets. It's crazy how they actually make shit work in their relationship.
I mean, L'a is fucking bipolar asf. So he be acting like a ass, just because he feels like it. I guess that's why they have they on and off moments. That girl loves him tho, she be putting up with allllllll his shit. I was hoping to get her before his did tho, cause I liked her. She liked him tho, so I backed off. I kinda figured tho, everyone likes her. That's why she's a close friend.
We pulled up to the house. L'a was on the porch, smoking on some loud. We got out and dapped him. Mak went into the house, to find Nika.
"What you been up to nigga?"
He shook his head and took a puff, blowing out the smoke.
"Nothing with my crippled ass. Man, I can't wait till I recover. So I can finally get out this bitch, without her with me 24/7."
Everyone laughed.
"She starting to get to you now, huh?"
He rolled his eyes.
"It ain't even that. She just gotta be helping me do everything."
Mak came out the house.
"Nigga, wtf you do to her?"
He asked L'a. He looked at him.
"What are you talking about man?"
L'a said looking at Mak. Lately, these niggas ain't been getting along at all. They don't usually be arguing they way they do now. Ion know what's going on with them. One minute they good, the next they arguing.
"What did you do to Unika?"
L'a rolled his eyes.
"Ian do shit to her. She just trippin."
"Well nigga she ain't gone trip for no reason... so again, wtf did you do to her?"
Mak was starting to get madder as a second goes by.
"Man, she was tripping when she said she ain't want me in the streets no more. Then she was tripping even harder when she asked what was more important to me."
"Sooo, the streets is more important to you, then she is?"
Mak asked glaring at him.
"Bro, I never even said that to her."
"Then wtf did you say to her?"
"I told her she wouldn't like the answer, and to drop the subject."
L'a said as he shrugged.
"Nigga, why tf can't you just drop the streets for her?"
"Because I don't want to. Nigga you of all people know that's shit ain't gonna happen. Not for her."
"Can't you at least agree to take a fucking break for her nigga?"
Cdai said. L'a sighed.
"Fine. I'll try man, she's just so irritating."
"She's just tryna make sure you straight man."
I said rubbing his shoulder.
Nika pov
I sat on the couch while the boys helped L'a into kitchen. He said he was gonna take a break from the streets for me, so I guess that's a start. What he said still hurt tho. I feel like he cares more for the street life then about us. It's whatever tho. I got him his plate of food his mama left for him, and heated it up.
"Here."
I said dryly putting the plate in front of him. I phone started ringing. It was ken.
"Hello?"
"BITCH COME HOME RN. I NEEDA SHOW YOU SOMETHING!"
She yelled into the phone.
"Bitch, what happened?"
"Just cooomeee to the house bruh. Hurry up!"
She said then hung up. I sighed.
"Mak, take me home. Ken said she got something important to show me."
He nodded and we headed out.
