Erin Kimora delagardo
"Bro" rondo said as I was popping a pimple on his face
"Wash your dirty ass face then" I said
"My shit ain't dirty" he said
"Then what is it?"
"Clean" he said
I busted out laughing
"What's funny I wanna laugh" Ji asked me as he walked into rondo's room
Ji & rondo live together
This is a nice ass apartment too
"Nothin" rondo said sitting up off the bed looking at his phone
"Anyways erin" Ji asked me
"Ji" I said back to him
"Can you braid my hair real quick" he asked me
"How?"
"Like little braids" he said
"Yeah right now?"
"Yeah" he said
"You got a comb,gel,oil & a brush?" I asked him
"No,no & no" he said
"Nigga I got oil" rondo said
"Well no & no" ji said again
"We got a comb because Brionna left it over here" rondo said again
"Foreal where it is?" Ji asked him
"Bathroom" he said
"Bet" he said walking out
Rondo was still staring at his phone
"Why you have me come over & you on yo phone" I asked him
He looked back at me
He put his phone down & laid across my lap
"All eyes on you ma" he said
"Awe I feel so special" i said
"Ion know why" he said
I smacked my lips
Me & rondo been talking these past two weeks
He's coo peoples
"Ight here" ji said coming back in the room with a comb & a brush
"No gel?" I asked
"No" he said mugging me
" can I get the oil please?" I asked rondo
He got up & went to his closet
"Ight which one ? There's weed oil sesame oil-" he started saying until ji cut him off
"What the fuck nigga we need hair oil" ji said
I smiled a little
"Oh shit yeah ion have that shit" he said
"Y'all have grease?" I asked
"You know we do" ji said walking out the room
I got up out the bed & grabbed all the stuff he brung in rondos room
I walked out to the dining room table
I sat the stuff down & grabbed a chair & sat it infront of me
"You want yo hair washed?" I asked him
"We don't have allat shit" he said
I nodded my head
"Okay sit right here boo" I said pointing at the chair infront of me as he handed me the grease
As he sat down there was a knock at the front door
"Rondo" ji yelled out
Rondo walked out his room & to the door
"Mmcht this bitch" he said opening the door
"What?" Rondo said
"Where's JI" I heard a deep ass voice ask
"Minding his fucking business" rondo said
"Move I know he's in here I see his car outside" whoever that is said
I tuned them out as amoura started calling me as I started parting his hair
I answered
"Hey" I said lowly
"Hey where you at?" She asked me
" Rondo & Ji's crib" i said grabbing some grease & putting it on the little piece of hair
"What you doing over there?" She asked me
"Braiding Ji's hair" I said
"Oh well you have yo air pods in right?" She asked me
"No want me to put them in?" I asked her as I finished the braid & moved on to the next one
"Yeah" she said
I grabbed my AirPods out my pocket & put my right one in my ear
"Ight wussup" I said
"Why the fuck ebonii down here acting a fucking fool because Tae was like you not my shordy ion fuck with that title shit we just fuck & allat other shit" amoura said
"What she doin?"
"She's cussing him out then blu out & blu got the baby Gk told her to chill then she started going off on him I told her to chill because that's my Nigga you is not bout to be talking to him crazy & then she tried to fight the fucking waitress because she was talking to Tae & Tae was flirting with her" she said
"Ebonii get yo ass in the fucking car" amoura yelled out
I shook my head
Can't take anyone anywhere without a scene or some shit
"All this over Tae?" I asked
"Yes bitch she's really getting on my nerves then forcing her kid to call Tae daddy & shit like what hold on y'all just met earlier this month" amoura said
I chuckled finishing a braid
I was doing big braids because I didn't take my pills for my hands
Because once I start braiding for hella long my hands start to cramp & it'll be cramped up for days to weeks
But I love braiding so I take a couple of aspirins
"Wow that's crazy where y'all at?"
"Fucking johnnies" she said
" can you bring me a pizza puff with spicy Cajun fries  & for the fries make sure there's frie sauce or ketchup & a water I'll send you some money " I said
"Mmcht yeah you lucky I love you but you don't have to send me money we coo" she said
"Okay & get ebonii home she gon get shot up" i said
"I know gon get her ass kicked the waitress already got her a few good times" she said
I shook my head
"JI YOU GETTING YO HAIR DONE BY BITCHES NOW" a tall black lady or man yelled at ji pointing at me
I'm confused as fuck right now
"This my sister she's just braiding my hair you trippin yo" Ji said
Rondo went back to his room
"Who is that" amoura asked me
"Ion know" i said as they both was going back & forth
I just looked around
"Do I leave & let them argue or stay & finish his hair" I asked moura
"Just finish it" she said
I nodded my head & made another part in his hair
"Stop braiding my niggas hair bitch" he/she screamed at me
I stopped
"You not my bitch continue erin" Ji said
"Touch him I'll hurt you bitch" the person said
I just stared at them because what I'm deadass confused
"Erin she fucking with you?" Amoura asked me
"Uhh" I started to say until rondo cut me off
"Come on ma" he said to me
"Erin you not gon finish?" Ji asked me
"She don't need to finish they tacky anyways" the thing said
I walked to rondo & I hung up the phone
He put me infront of him as I walked back to his room
I sat in the chair & went on my phone
"Yeah?" He said as he answered his phone
"Why I just dropped him off at yo crib" he said into the phone
"Why you going to the hospital again?" He said again
I went on TikTok & watched some videos ignorin him because that sounds a little personal
"Erin" he called me
I looked up at him
"You coming with me real quick?" He asked me
"Yeah where"
"Going to pick up my son" he said
I nodded my head
"Ight" he said walking out the room
I haven't heard from my mom or Sani in some weeks
I wonder if they're okay if Sani's okay at least
"Come on" he said to me coming in his room grabbing some keys
I got up & grabbed my tote bag & walked out behind him
Ji & the girl was still arguing
"My hair looks good fuck is you talm bout folks" he yelled
I continued to walk out the door & down the apartment stairs
There was men standing all around laughing,drinking & smoking
They lived in one of the most Popular but most ghetto apartments too
But the inside of their apartment was nice you wouldn't even think they would live here
"Wussup pretty lady" a older black man slurred to me
I did a slight smile
"You not gon say anything back?" He asked me
"Roddy leave shordy alone" rondo said to him
"This yo ole girl?" The guy asked him again
"Nah"
"Then you have a Fin?" The guy asked him
"Nah"
The guy walked up to me & I stepped away from him
"Where you running to?" He asked me
"Aye folks didn't I already tell you to leave her alone? Now if I bust a clip in yo ass I'll be wrong"
"Nah you'll be going to jail" the old man slurred
"Merch" rondo yelled
"Come on" I said to him
"Yeah listen to the little pretty lady" the old man said
"Come on rondo" i said as he wasn't trying to move
He turned around & pushed me infront of him as we continued to walk down all the stairs as all them men was laughing
I walked out the door & into fresh air
It smelt like piss & all types of shit in that hall
I followed him to his all black Audi
I got in the passenger seat & he got In too
He started the car
He looked over at me
"What"
"Why you never talk?" He asked me
"That's a lot of energy" i said
"Even when niggas are trying to fuck with you?" He asked me
"Mmhm I learned how to ignore them" I said
"Yeah you can't be my shordy because I'll have to kill a nigga" he said
I chuckled "you funny"
He smacked his lips "shut up"
He stopped at a red light
I looked down at my phone & saw a 336 area code text me
I frowned
336-457-2121
Hey erin this is Rocky Sani's dad can you do me a big favor boog?
Wussup?
After Christmas can you pack all Sani's stuff so she can come down here & stay with me until the final decision with the courts?
Uh yeah I'm not staying with my moms anymore but I'll go over there & pack her stuff.
Where you at? & thank you is there anyway you can take her & her belongings with you?
I'm with my dad & no problem & I'll have a talk with my dad lemme see what he says.
Okay thank you boogie love you
I smiled at the message he sent me because for years he was like a father to me when my dad was locked up then once he started a new family
I just sighed because my mom is down bad both her kids getting taken from her
& we all know the courts are going to give Sani to her dad he's more stable & he doesn't have a criminal background
I went to me & my dads messages
I just want Sani to be safe & happy & that's with me or her dad
Ima make sure nothing happens to her before she goes down there to North Carolina because knowing my mom she would try to do some evil shit
Like have her go missing or hurt her just something crazy because she's fucking crazy in the head

Read 2:37pm
I rolled my eyes because this is something deadass serious to me
I hope she doesn't say no weird shit
Rondo stopped infront of these projects
Kids was outside playing in the snow females was standing around talking with mugs in they hands & niggas was sitting around probably passing dope around to the crackheads walking around these bitches
"I'm outside" he said into his phone
"Okay" I heard a females voice say & hung up
"What's wrong with you?" He asked me
"Nothing stressed the fuck out" I said chuckling
"Why"
"My sister is sick & she's moving & don't got nowhere to stay so I'm trying to figure something out" I said
"How old she is?"
"11" I said
"Oh shit she's young" he said
"I know" I said as a pretty ass lightskin walked up to the car
Rondo got out the car & went to the trunk pulling out a car seat & putting it behind me
"You still got random ass bitches around my son huh?" The girl asked
"She ain't no random chill" he said buckling up a little boy
"You fucking flodgin right now" she said
"Ight Roman" he said
He closed the backseat door
& opened mine
The girl was looking all up in the car as rondo digged in the clove department
"Boogie?" The girl said
I frowned at her "huh"
Rondo was staring at me like who the fuck is boogie
"Boogie" she said
"Nah you got the wrong boogie" i said lowly
"Yo moms is savi?" She asked me
"Uh yeah" I said staring at her more
I couldn't really see her face because she had on a big ass black puffer & hat with a mask on
She took the mask off
My eyes widened
"Roman" I asked her
"Yes bitch" she said
I smiled & got out the car & hugged her
"I missed you so much" she said
"I missed you too how you been"
"I'm okay been in & out the hospital a lot" she said
"That's crazy I didn't even know you had a baby" I said
"No body did" she said laughing
"How's your mom?" I asked again
"She's good dad is doing good too how's your mom?"
"Same ol shit" I said looking down the street as niggas with motorcycles pulled up
"How are you like damn you look good" she said
"I'm fine" I said smiling
"Damn I'm sorry I called you a random ass hoe" she said
"Nah you coo rondo just my friend girl" I said as rondo was talking to this girl
"Good that nigga ain't good for shit" she said
"Oh I can tell they was talking about a Roman I'm thinking there's another Roman but no it's you" I said smiling
"What they talkin shit?" she asked me
"Nah amoura was talking about how you got every right to be mad at rondo & some other shit" I said
She nodded her head
"Bye baby I love you" she said kissing the baby boy
I smiled
She closed the backseat door & looked at me
"Ima get going I love you girl here gimme your number we need to keep in touch" she said
I nodded my head & grabbed her phone & put my number in
I handed my phone back to her
"Okay I'll see you"I said giving her a hug
"Bye girl" she said walking off
Her & rondo did a handshake
I got back in the car fast as fuck because it's cold as fuck outside
I put my seatbelt back on as rondo got in too
He drove off
The car was silent
"Vez you hungry man?" Rondo asked his son
"No" he said
"Ight" he said leaning up
"How you know Roman " rondo asked me
"Our moms used to be best friends until my mom became a little bitch then we all stopped talking" I said
"Oh so she yo childhood bestie" he asked me
"You can say that" I said
"Yo ass funny" he said to me
"What how?" I asked
"Nah you got the wrong boogie" he said mocking me
I shook my head "I was confused on who she was"
He chuckled
My dad was calling me
He looked at my phone & then looked at me
"I'll be quiet daddy's girl" he said
I smacked my lips
I answered "hello"
"Where are you?" He asked me
"Indya's" I said
"When you get home we need to talk" he said
"Um okay" I said
"Me you & your dad" Amy said into the phone
"Okay" I said
"& we need to talk about that attitude too because you're staying in my house giving me attitude you not giving me no type of bill money" she said into the phone again
"I- okay" i said
"Be home in 2 hours if not you don't live here no more" Amy yelled & hung up
I frowned at my phone because what have I been doing or have I done except for lie where I was at
If they find out where I am they gon freak the fuck out
Ima honestly stay getting cussed out for no reason by someone
The car stopped as I was looking at my fingers
"Why they asses here" rondo said getting out the car
I unbuckled my seatbelt & got out too
"Here" I said grabbing his sons over night bag from him
"Perciate it" he said
I smiled at him
He grabbed his son & we walked into the building he lives in
We walked up to the 5th floor he lives on
He opened the door & walked in
It smelt like straight up fucking weed
I closed the door & put the bag down on the couch next to Tae
"Hey y'all" amoura said to us
I waved at everyone
"Kimora I got your food it's in the kitchen" amoura said
"Thank you" I said walking in the kitchen & grabbing the bag of food & the water on the counter
I walked out & sat next to Tae on the couch
I opened the bag & started eating my fries
"Tomorrow's Christmas Eve we meeting up?" Ji asked
"We can what time" amoura asked
"You know ma dunnies & pops always have a Christmas Eve dinner" Little meechie said
I didn't even notice he was here
Rondo's son ran to me
He put his hand out
I handed him three fries
"Thank you" he said
I laughed "you're welcome"
"Who you is" little meechie asked me
"That's my cousin problem?" Moura asked him
"That's Erin how you not know erin?" Blu said
"On god" ji added on
Little meechie shrugged his shoulders
"What we doing then?" Amoura asked
"Go to their parents dinner then meet at Gk's crib & open presents there" rondo said sitting down on the coffee table
"Ight" ji said
"Erin you coming?" Blu asked me
Everyone looked at me "uh yeah I can"
"Coo coo" he said nodding his head
"Tae over there high as fuck" little meechie said
"We know look at this nigga" Gk said staring at Tae
I haven't really looked at him
I looked beside me & he looked like he was outta here
Looks like he popped a perc & something else
"He needs to take some advice from erin she's 5 weeks soberrr" amoura dragged all happy
I just stared at her
"What was you on?" Little meechie asked me
"Uh" I started to say looking at my converse I had on
"She used to pop pills & smoke weed" amour said answering for me
It's kinda hard for me to talk about my addiction because I've done this before
I'll get clean for a little then once i start talking about it something happens that makes me remember my childhood & my trauma I'll have a relapse
& I hate it but I gotta deal with it
"You need to help lil bro over there" he said pointing at Tae
I smiled a little & looked at my phone
My mom called me five times
I got up & went to the kitchen & called her back
She answered on the second ring
"Erin" she said very lowly
"Yeah"
"You need to get here I need you to stay with Sani please" she said
This is the nicest she ever talked to me in years & she said please
"Uh yeah everything okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine Um-" she started to say until she stopped
"Mom?" I asked
"Yeah when can you be over here?" She asked me
"I can leave now? Are you sure you're okay?" I asked her because she was getting lower & lower
"Yeah yeah I'm good you have any money?" She asked me
"Um in cash $20" I said
"Can I borrow that?" She asked me
"If it's for drugs no" I said
"It's not this is serious erin" she said sounding like she was about to cry
"Mom what's going on?" I asked her
"Don't worry about it" she said
"Okay well I'll be there in like 10 minutes" i said because they live deadass two blocks away from my moms apartments
"Okay" she said
"Alright" I said about to hang up
"Wait erin" she said
"Yes"
"I love you baby & im sorry mommy's sorry baby" she said as her voice cracked
"I love you too" i said frowning a little because she never said I love you or she's sorry
She hung up
I stood there
"Why you look like you just saw a nigga get his ass beat" Tae asked me
I looked over at him
"Why you look like you're dead" I asked him because he deadass does
"But ima alive"
"But you look dead" i said
"Whatevea" he said
Grabbing a water & a bag of Doritos out the cabinet
"Ight ima catch you" I said to him
"Where you going "
"Moms crib" i said
"Thought you moved" he said
"I did she wants me to watch my sister" I said
He nodded his head eating some Doritos
I walked out the kitchen & grabbed my stuff
"Bye guys" I said
"Where you going" rondo asked me as he grabbed me by my wait & pulled me closer to him
I looked down at him "my moms"
"Want me to take you?" He asked me
"No it's fine" I said
"I'll take you boogie" amoura said
"Nah it's coo" i said
"Are you sure" they asked me
"Im positive" i said walking out the door
I put my AirPods in my ear & walked past the group of men from earlier & out the complex
I walked out the gates of the apartments & started walking down the street
I didn't want a ride because I needed some fresh air & time alone to think about what's going on
Like what's going to happen? Is Sani okay? Is my mom okay?
"Stop it" my mom yelled at me as I skipped the sidewalk squares as we walked down the street
"Sorry mommy" I said
She tugged me to walk faster as she held my hand
She had on some red bottoms & a mini skirt with a short top
Her makeup was done & her hair was down & curly
We stopped infront of this busted down house
She looked at the house then me
She bent down
"You be on your best behavior Ight? Ion wanna hear their mouths when it's time for me to come back & get you okay?" She asked me
I nodded my head
I felt a slap upside my head
"What did I say use your fucking mouth erin" she raised her voice at me
"Yes" I said crying
She slapped me again "stop fucking crying"
I wiped my tears
She grabbed my hand aggressively & opened the gate to the busted down house & walked up the house stairs
As we got closer all I could hear was kids screaming & a man yelling
"Mommy are they okay in there?" I asked my mom
"Yes erin" she said knocking on the door
Rayon my mommy's best friend opened the door
"Hey erin" she said smiling & picking me up
"Hi auntie ray" i said
"Hey best" she said to my mom
"Hey bitch you ready?" She asked her
I looked at auntie ray & she was dressed up too
"Yeah" auntie ray said with hesitation
"Come on" my mom said
Auntie ray put me down
Roman ran up to me & gave me a hug
Auntie ray turned to me & Roman
"Y'all go hide in the closet upstairs with the little door I put snacks & shit up there for y'all whatever you do don't come out unless you're using the bathroom y'all Hear me?" She asked us
"Yes" we both said in a sync
"Ight go now" she said to us
Roman is two years older than me she's like a big sister
She grabbed my hand & walked upstairs passing by all the kids crying & a tall black man with no pants on but his underwear drinking something
We walked upstairs to the little closet & Roman opened it for me
"Go" she said
I crawled in & got comfortable on the blankets & pillows
We had toys & books with a whole bunch of snacks
She got in & closed the closet door
She looked over at me
"What happened?" She asked me
"Huh?"
"Your face you have a big ole red hand mark on your face what happened?" She asked me
"I don't know" I said
"It's okay erin" she said hugging me
I hugged her back & just laid on her shoulder
This was very comforting
I felt safe
Ion feel safe here
I thought as I waited for this dude to open the apartment complex doors
He opened the door for me
I smiled a little
"Thank you"
"Yeah" he said walking out the door
I walked up the stairs to my moms door
The neighbor that lives across the hall from us was outside her door looking at my moms door
"Erin" she said happy to see me
"Hey" I said
"Where have you been"
"Um I live with my dad now" I said
"I Jesus is everything okay over there?" She asked me pointing at my moms front door
"That's why I'm here I'll let you know" I said
"Please do" she said
I nodded my head
I tried opening the door but it was locked
I knocked on the door
There was no answer
I knocked again
There was no answer
I digged in my purse & grabbed her house key I still had
I unlocked the door
The house spelt like straight up ass
"What the fuck" I said under my breath
I closed the door after I walked in
I turned the lights on & there was blood everywhere & the house was fucked up
The tv was broke the couch was flipped over dining room table was broke
I stepped over all the glass & walked to my moms room
She wasn't in there
I walked into Sani's room
All her stuff was packed on the bed
I walked further in her room
I looked around the bed for her & in the closet
She wasn't in the room
I walked out her room & went to mine
I walked further in
I looked under my bed & she was laying under there looking like a dear in head lights
"What the fuck Sani" I said to her
Her face softened up once she saw it was me
She crawled from under the bed into my arms hugging me
"Im scared erin" she said
"What happened" I asked her
"They just started going crazy- I don't wanna talk about it" she started to say then stopped
"Okay it's okay I got you" I said hugging her as she held onto me tighter
She started crying
I rocked her back & forth
The fact I used to cry like this & hide like this when I was younger is crazy
It's my fault that she gotta experience this same trauma I had to experience
It's scary
& i know why she's scared
I been through all of this I just didn't have no one
But I'm here for her
"I feel safe with you" she said
I started to silent cry
"Can I come with you?" She asked me
I choked on my tears
"Yeah you coming with me baby" I said hugging her tighter not trying to show her that I'm crying
"Come on let's get out of here go grab some of your bags you have everything packed?" I asked her
"I think so mommy was just in my room doing something" she said
"Where she go?"
"She said she's running away & starting a new chapter with her new baby" she said
"Her new baby?"
"She's pregnant by Timothy" she said talking about my moms co-worker
"Okay go get some of your stuff" i said
She walked out my old room to her room
I got up & walked out to my moms room
I hid money in here that I took out her bank account every time my dad sent child support for me because she was going to use it on drugs
I went to her closet & lifted up her closet floor & grabbed the case & opened it
The money was still in there
I got up & looked around her room
It was deadass empty except her bed & dresser & shit was still in here
I walked out her room
I went into Sani's room
"You ready?" I asked her grabbing two bags off her bed
"Yes" she said
"Okay come one mama" I said as I watched her grab three bags off her bed then floor
"You have everything?" I asked her
"Yeah ion want nothing that would make me remember this place" she said
I nodded my head because I'm hurt that I'll leave her & let her experience that trauma
I know every kid is going to have trauma but not the type of trauma my mom put us through
These past 11 years I protected her from this shit
& somehow I still let her experience this shit
We walked out the house & zay was walking up the stairs
"Watch out Sani" I said to Sani
She moved towards me letting zay & her friends walk past us
Zay stared at me "wussup ma"
I smiled "hey"
"Wussup with you" she said
"Nothing chillin" I said lying my ass off
"Oh foreal? Or you lying?"
"She's lying" Sani said looking up at me
"Sani-" I started to say until zay cut me off
"You need anything?" She asked me
"Um no I'm cool" I said
She chuckled "Lemme give y'all a ride"
"How you know if I got a car or not" I asked her
"I know you can't drive" she said
"I can" I corrected her
"Yo ass to short to drive" she said
"I'm not short I'm 5'0" i said
"That's short ma" she said
"Tall as fuck to me" I said
"Lemme give yall a ride stop being stubborn" she said
"Come on erin" Sani said
"This little sis?" Zay asked
"Yeah" i said
"Come on" zay said walking back down the stairs
Her two friends followed her back down the stairs
"Go ahead" I said to Sani so she can walk infront of me
She started walking & I did too
We walked up to this grey 2019 Jeep
One of the guys got in the front seat & the other guy got in the backseat
"Let her get in the front Nigga" zay said
"Nigga no she ain't say she wants the front seat" he said
"It's coo I wanna sit in the back" i said
"It's coo I wanna sit in the back" the guy in the front mocked me
I mugged him
"I know she got a little tiny soft voice" the guy in the backseat said laughing
"Fuck yall" i said getting in the middle so Sani can have the window
"Y'all wanna put the bags in the trunk" zay asked me as she started the car
"Nah it's coo" i said
"You talk so calm" she said
I smacked my lips because that's all people say to me
"Give me the addy mamas" she said
"Gimmie yo phone" i said putting my hand out
She handed it to me
"Uh password"
"3679" she said
I nodded my head & put the password in
I went to maps & put my dads address in
"Hm" I said putting her phone infront of her
She grabbed it as she was driving out the apartments
I looked at Sani & she had a bruise on the side of her face
I just looked away because I feel sick to my fucking stomach
I texted her dad
"Damn shordy you moved to the suburbs" zay said
I chuckled
"How you like it?" The guy in the backseat asked me
"It's more peaceful & a weight lifted off your shoulders because you don't gotta worry about crackheads & shootings & shit" I said
"That's how it is in North Carolina" Sani said
I smiled
"Damn must be nice" the guy in the front seat said
The car was silent all you could hear was the cars driving on the highway
I know when I get this house it's going to be some shit but ion care
I'll pack my shit & leave if I have to
But ima make sure Sani is okay & somewhere safe
She's not about to go through what I went through
Zay stopped infront of the house
"This it?" She asked
I nodded my head
"Thank you" I said
"Yeah" she said getting out
Sani opened the door & zay helped her out the car
She helped me out the car too
I smiled "thank you"
"It ain't shit ma" she said grabbing the bags from Sani
I closed the car door
I walked up to the house door as they was behind me
I put the code in & opened the door
Monica & aurbery was sitting in the living room watching winx club
"Hey sissy" they both said
"Hey guys" I said as I let Sani walk in first
She walked in slowly looking around
I walked in & zay walked In too
I closed the door
"Where everyone at?" I asked them
"Daddy's upstairs with the cleaning lady & Grammy & pawpaw went to a doctors appointment & mommy is at work" Monica said
I nodded my head
"Yall this is my other sister Sani & Sani these are my other siblings Monica & aurbery" I said
Sani waved
"Hi Sani" Monica said happily
Monica & Sani are the same age
"Hey girl" aurbery said & she's like 5
"& this is Zay" I said
They all waved at her
"Wussup" she said
"Ight y'all come on" I said walking to the door that leads to my room
I opened it & walked down the stairs turning the light on
I walked through my bedroom door & sat her bags down on my bed
I grabbed her bags from zay
"Thank you so much" I said to her
"It ain't shit ma" she said smiling
She's pretty
"Sani you can take your shoes off mom" I said to her
She slipped her shoes off & took her north face puffer off & sat them on the chair I had in my room
"Ima catch you later though" zay said
"Lemme walk you out" i said
"Come on Sani" i said as I walked behind zay up the stairs
We walked to the door
Zay opened it
I walked out behind her
"Thank you again" I said
"It's all good" she said
I chuckled
"You know ole boy named Tae" she asked me stopping in her tracks
"Tae?" I asked frowning because why you just ask me this shit outta nowhere & Tae asked about her too
"Yeah his name is Taelyn" she said
I ain't even know that was his government I thought his real name was Tae
"Uhh" I started to say because I don't know if I should say yes or no
Im kinda stuck right now
"Yeah" i said
"Y'all close?" She asked me
"No he just gives me weed" I said
"He's yo dealer?" She asked me
I nodded my head yes
"Start coming to me" she said
I laughed out of nervousness because Tae don't be charging me full price on all my shit & I don't want her knowing I pop pills sometimes
"What" she asked
"Ion be paying full price for my shit though" I said
"You'll get yo shit for free then" she said
I nodded my head watching the cars drive past the house
"But can you do something for me?"
"Depending on what it is" I said
"I need you to help me set him up real quick nobody's gonna know that you're involved ma" she said
I froze
I looked away from her
Why they both putting me in this type of position?
Ima feel so bad if somebody gets hurt
& it's no such thing in nobody's gonna know it's Chicago at that the south side of Chicago the hood the ghetto they gon find out sooner or later I was the one who helped set someone up so peoples gonna be after me
& what about Sani?
"Um lemme think about it" I said
"Don't think to hard mamas" she said smiling
I did an awkward smile
"Ima see yo ass later doe" she said
I waved at her
She walked away to her car & got in
I turned around & walked back in the house as I saw Sani sitting on the couch with Monica
"Where's aurbery?" I asked
"She went to go play with Brito in the backyard " Monica said talking about aurbery's dog she got for her birthday a couple weeks ago
I nodded my head
"Sani you good? Want anything?" I asked her
"No" she said
"I already asked her" Monica said
"My bad" i said
I walked upstairs to find my dad
All the doors was open except my dad's & Amy's room
I walked to that door & knocked on it
There was no response
I opened the door & my dad had the cleaning lady bent over
They both looked back at me
His eyes widened & he jumped up putting his pants On
"Yo-" I said backing up & closing the door
I stood there for a minute because this nigga cheating on his wife with a maid-
No hate no discrimination but wow
At least I know he's still Into black women
She's pretty though
I think I only saw her side profile
& side profiles be getting people all the time
Shit
Okay I'm not gonna tell anyone ima act like this shit never happened
This is not my shit I'm not in it
I sighed & walked back downstairs
I went & sat on the couch between Monica & Sani
I laid on Sani's shoulders
She started playing in my hair
Monica laid on me too & I wrapped my arm around her
I closed my eyes
I never felt anyone play in my hair before
Another pile of stress on me & I'm only 17
I'll be fine
I think
But anything for Sani
I hope my life isn't this stressful like this for the rest of my life
But im grateful for everything
I go through this for a reason right?
