Shamar pulled up outside of her house but it looked different to me. Once I got out the car I fixed my clothes and knocked on the door only to find out she doesn't live there anymore.
I went back to the car and told Shamar and he began to get angry as I became more nervous, until I seen my old house garage open and my father come out.
I got out the car and walked over to him.
"Looking for the kids?"
He asked walking over to me, but we ending up just walking back in the garage.
"Yea. Where are they?"
"In the house sleep."
I let out all the air I was holding in, and decided to catch up with him a little bit.
"How long ago did he drop them off?"
"A hour ago, he just dropped them off on they porch and pulled off not seeing if they made it in or not."
"Damn. It wasn't even a hour ago when we last spoke on the phon, and what happened to Ms.Renee?"
My dad looked at me and shook his head in disappointment.
"That nigga up to something, and it don't seem good. And she died a couple months after you left."
I shook my head, if she died then why didn't Shamar tell me instead of making me look like a fool going to them people door.
"What is really going on with him?"
I asked myself before responding to my dad.
"Well the only reason we back is because he want to me to set up Shamar."
"Are you going to do it?"
"Nope, living with him was hell."
He shook his head and looked at me as he reached for my shoulder where I got shot.
"What happened here?"
He asked while rubbing his finger across the scar, that was no longer hidden by my hair.
"He shot me."
I kept it simple hoping he wouldn't ask about it anymore.
"Why?"
He asked taking a rolled up blunt from behind his ear, sparking it then taking a couple puffs before trying to hand it to me.
"No thanks, and because I didn't want to marry him."
He took a long drag from his blunt then looked back up at me.
"That nigga crazy. Where you been and who's kids are those?"
"I was in Cuba, and there all mine."
"Them all my grandbabies!?"
"Yea."
He started choking and started patting his chest. Once he calmed down he shook his head.
"You had seven fucking kids?"
"Yes, bu-"
"I got my people looking for that nigga, but they ain't found nothing yet."
Shamar said interrupting what I was going to say as he walked up joining us in the garage. As him and my father started taking. I started to walk into the house until I noticed a red light making it's way between Shamar and my father.
"Dad move!"
I seen a red dot begin to travel up his body, but he seemed unbothered.
"Girl I ain't scared of that bullshit, if they wanted to kill me they would've been did it and not be playing around."
He moved and the next thing I know is there's bullets flying everywhere. My dad and Shamar shot back at whoever was outside.
I ran in the house to find the kids, and they were all up crying, except Terrell who was helping me calm them down.
A couple minutes later I heard police sirens and the ambulance in the distance, and then my dad appeared in the doorway.
"You should get to the hospital, I'll stay and watch the kids for you."
"Thank you."
I ran out of the house outside only to realize I don't have keys to a car.
I turned around and my dad stood in the doorway, and threw me some keys. I clicked the alarm and seen that they were keys to a truck.
I hopped in and drove to the nearest hospital which was like twenty minutes away, where I knew Shamar would be. Once I got there I parked the truck then went in the hospital, only to see Shamar sitting in the waiting room. I walked over to him and sat next to him.
"Why are you here and not in the operating room?"
I asked him.
"I'm here to make sure he dead."
"Didn't you get shot?"
"Nah I don't think so, cause I don't feel nothing."
I nodded my head soon and we both got comfortable as we sat in silence.
A couple long hours later.....
"That nigga must be dead, since they ain't came in here."
Shamar said as he took a sip from his soda he got from the vending machine, then a doctor came out looking around.
"Excuse me are you Rain Alexander?"
He asked walking up to me, as his eyes traveled from head to toe on me.
"Yes, why?"
He walked back to the doors of the waiting room.
"Ok officers here she is."
Two officers came into the waiting room standing in front of me.
"What are you in front of me for I didn't do anything?"
"According to Mr.Peter's statement you've done a lot. Your getting charged with attempted murder."
"What?"
I asked once I realized what was going on.
"You talking to much partner, let's get this shit over so we can book her ass. Stand up!"
He turned away from his partner and looked at me.
"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to have an attorney. If you cannot afford one, one will be appointed to you by the court. With these rights in mind, are you still willing to talk with me about the charges against you?"
I shook my shoulders and looked over at Shamar who was sitting there calmly, mugging the police officers. Like what the hell is that going to do.
"Damn."
Is what I thought to myself as they pulled me out of the waiting room to the back of the police car.
~~~~~~~~~
2 weeks later.....
I'm still being held in jail, I haven't had any contact with anyone except my dad, and my court date is in two days.
"Alexander you've got a visit."
The guard said as he stood in front of my cell, waiting for me to come out.
Once I did he guided me to the visitation room, where my eyes landed on someone I least expected. I sat across from him and just looked at him.
"How you holding up?"
"I'm fine."
"You ain't lying, but let me stop."
Devon said as he eyed me from head to toe before licking his lips.
"What are you here for?"
"Damn my bad. I thought we could talk about something else, and then get to that."
I shook my head at him and start laughing.
"I'm here to tell you I'mma help you get out of this mess."
"Why though?"
"You family, and I'll be damned if I just sat back and watched this shit happen and not help you."
"Thank you, but how you know what's going on?."
"No problem sis, and because Shamar told me."
"Oh when did he tell you?"
"Yesterday why?"
"I've been in here for two weeks now?"
"Are you serious? He made it seem like you just got here."
"Uhh yeah, why would I lie about being in here?"
"Shit ion know. But just know I got you and if you need anything all you gotta do is ask."
"Thanks I appreciate it. What's been up with you, Katie and the baby?"
I asked wanting to change the depressing conversation. He sighed and looked away from me for a couple seconds.
"We ain't a happy family no more. We grew apart and there's none of that getting back together shit. But lil Devon doing good, real good."
He said smiling as he looked at nothing in general.
"That's good, sounds like I missed out on a lot."
He looked back at me and shook his head out letting out a sigh.
"You did. That lady that lived next door to you died a couple months after you disappeared. My mom died a couple years back from a heart attack, and Sherry got married to that dumbass girl Ariel, and Cookie called herself trying to mess with your dad but he wasn't with it."
"Wow, that's some crazy shit."
"Yea I know. Everybody been on some crazy shit if you ask me."
I nodded my head in agreement, and decided to ask something I've been wondering.
"You didn't mention Shamar. What was he doing he seems off?"
Devon looked at me and shook his head.
"You don't even wanna know."
"Why not?"
I asked getting interested in what he had to say.
"It's not my place to tell, he should be the one telling you."
"But he didn't so I want you to tell me."
He let out a big breath and then looked me in my eyes, and began to talk but was interrupted.
"Visiting is over! Inmates put the phones back and get ready to leave."
The guard yell as he walked passed us putting cuffs back on us.
