"Nigga I'll never fuck you!" I heard her yell as she walked away.

"Aye bruh..." I heard from a distance. "AYE!"

I put the phone back to my ear, "Bruh, this bitch just came threw here doing the fucking most."

"Man fuck all that shit, you gone hit up JD party with me tonight?"

JD was this old head we've been knowing forever; that nigga think he young. He was having a block party in the hood tonight, and it was a guarantee everybody was gonna be out.

"Yeah, Ima go home and get ready as soon as I drop this stuff off at moms house."

"Alright man, bet."

"Alright"

I made my way towards self checkout.

Angel

"Girl I don't know who he thought he was." I said while flipping through channels; talking on the phone to Steph.

"Like fuck nigga you ran into me. I should be able to say what I wanna say."

My phone buzzed indicating that I got a text.

"Hold on girl." I said mugging my phone.

JD 💉: Aye cuz! You gone slide through my block party tonight in the hood?

JD was Amir's cousin and we just so happened to get close.

He was much older than me and also very protective of me, so I look at him as a father figure.

Even when he heard about what Amir did to me, he was about to kick his ass.

"Girl this JD old ass texting me talm bout am I gone come to his block party."

"Ooh I heard all the fine niggas gone be out there tonight; might snatch me up one... Let's go best friend!"

"WAIT... If he having a block party thennn that means thattttt..."

"Girl nu uh. Hell naw. I'm definitely not going now. I didn't even think about that shit." I shook my head. She had to be out her damn mind.

There was no doubt in my mind that Amir was going to be there, and I haven't seen him since that night.

If I see him and Taylor out, together, in public, with my own two eyes? Bitch I just might go crazy.

And Taylor not the type of bitch to sit back and be quiet. She the type to pick at you.

She don't want no problems with me forreal. Because if she pick a fight with me and it gets physical, I'll flatline that bitch.

"Come ON bitch! We really gotta go now so he can see how fat yo ass got and what he missed out on!"

She was right.

I had gained weight in my thighs, hips, and butt due to me pigging out every weekend.

"I'm not tryna see him."

"Girl come onnnnn! You never get out that house! Let's just go and have fun."

"Ughhhh! Alright! Pick me up in a hour and a half."

"Alright bye hoe."

I started texting JD back.

Angel 💉: Yeah Ima slide though...

Since I already took my shower, all I had to do was my makeup and hair. And I wasn't gonna do to much. It's just a block party. And I'm really just going to see JD and go home.

I went in the bathroom to start doing my makeup.

"I really need to get a vanity.." I said thinking out loud to myself, looking at my huge ass makeup collection.

"We not doing anything heavy, just something really natural and light."

I put my hair in big curls and a middle part.

After an hour and a half, I was finally done.

"MY ANGELLLLL" I heard Steph loud ass yell through out my house.

"I'm upstairs!"

She walked into my bedroom, and stopped admiring me.

"Oh yes fucking ma'am... Not to much, just enough to make they heads turn bitch!!!"

I laughed at her hyping me up.

"Let's go crazy."

We pulled into the hood 30 minuets later, and when I say that shit was blowed... It was crowded as fuck.

You couldn't even get your car down the street.

We parked in JD's driveway.

"AYEEEE WASSUP MY BEAUTIFUL ANGEL?!"

"JD!! I MISSED YOUR ASS!" I ran and jumped on him.

"Damn nigga, how old are you now? 70?"

"Man stop playing with me, I'm 40."

We both cracked up laughing.

"You and your friend want some to drink tho? We got it all."

"Oh yeah. Bring out some hennessy."

"Bet I got you." He ran in the house.

"Ooh girl lets go around to speak; I haven't saw some of these people in years..." I said to Steph.

"Hey T Betty!" I yelled, waving at the bigger woman two houses down.

That was Amir's aunt.

"Angel? Is that you?! Girl come on over here and get y'all some to eat!"

"Alright!"

"Damn you fine... Come on over here and give daddy your number." this old ass man said.

I mugged him.

"Jimmy get your drunk ass out my damn yard before I get my gun out! Shut this whole damn street down."

We giggled at aunt Betty as we walked into her house.

"T it's smelling good in here!" I told her.

We talked and caught up for a minute before she handed us our plates.

We all walked back outside and stood in the street with our backs turned to the opposite end of it.

"Yeah and he gone tell me- Oof" I felt someone's bump into me with their back; meaning they were walking backwards not paying attention to what the fuck they were doing.

Probably tryna holla at one of they friends.

This the second time this shit done happened to me today.

I put my best mug on turning around.

"Damn, you almost knocked my plate out my hand!"

"Sorr-"

He turned around and I couldn't believe it.

It was the tall, fine but rude ass nigga from Walmart that I cussed out.

That nigga had to be at least 6'5".

[S/N: I have a thing for tall niggas 😭 I guess it's because I'm really short 🙁 and short guys are really mean. They like little leprechauns 😂]

He started to apologize but instantly closed his mouth when he saw that it was me.

He sucked his teeth.

"Man you need to learn how to stay the fuck out the way."

"NIGGA YOU RAN INTO ME!"

"Whatever. Wassup aunt betty." he gave her a side hug.

"Hey Dave baby! How you?"

"I'm good T." he said walking away.

T turned to me.

"Umm what's up with you and Dave?"

"That nigga ran into me making me fall over at Walmart today. Then had the nerve to talk crazy to me even though he was in the wrong."

"THATS THE DISRESPECTFUL NIGGA FROM EARLIER TODAY?" Steph exclaimed.

"Girl yes."

"Damn why you ain't say nun?! Would've went off on that nigga." I chuckled.

"Y'all tripping. Dave fine as hell." T said fanning herself.

"Shid ok... You should've got his number Ang." Steph said.

"Naw now y'all tripping." We all burst into laughter.

***

It was coming close to 12am and me and Steph were ready to call it a night.

"Damn I gotta piss." Steph said as we were walking back to the car.

"Just go in JD house and use his bathroom. He don't mind."

"Alright." she ran into the house.

"I'll be here waiting on you." I said leaning up against the car.

As I was playing on my phone I heard two men walking into the driveway talking. One was a very familiar voice...

"Aight tho bro I'll see you around." the voice said.

Amir.

I frantically pulled at the doorknob of the car.

Fucckkkk... She took the keys in the house with her.

When he walked up and saw me, he stopped.

We stared at each other for a minute. This was to intense for me.

"Angel..."

My mouth opened, but nothing came out.

"You look good Angel... How you been?"

Words still wouldn't come out. I was in shock.

"So you not gonna talk to me? You so bitter that you can't speak to me?"

I was appalled. For the first time in my life, I was speechless.

"Bitch I know you hear me talking to you.." he said walking up closer to me.

He put his hand around my neck grabbing it tight, choking me.

And not on no 'Ooh daddy yes' choke, but on some 'bitch i'm tryna kill you' choke.

"You gonna talk to me Angel..." he said slamming me up against the door.

I closed my eyes and grabbed at his wrists, squirming in his hold.

"You think you better than me or some? I'll do you like your dad used to do your ass. I'll put you on mute forever." he said gripping my neck tighter and tighter.

Damn what's taking Steph so long I thought.

I started to get scared.

Tears started to fall down my face.

I reached for the taser that was in my purse.

Just as I was about to pull it out, someone snatched him off me by his shirt and threw him up against the car.

I gasped, rubbing my neck trying to catch my breath. I opened my eyes to see it was... Dave?

Still holding on to Amir, he pulled a gun from his pants cocking it.

My eyes widened as he pressed the gun on the side of Amir's head.

"Is there a problem?" he asked looking him dead in the eye with his finger on the trigger, ready to pull it and end Amir right there...
