"Wait wait wait. So let me get this straight... She saw y'all?" Dave exclaimed with his eyebrows raised. "Yes bruh! When I looked up, she was looking back at me!"

I was at Dave's house telling him about what happened at and after the club last week between me and Stephanie.

"Stephanie saw you?" He asked. I rolled my eyes. "Yes..."

"You and Kelis... She saw y'all together?" He pointed at me. I ran my hand down my face. "Yes bruh."

"And she DIDN'T flip the fuck out on you or Kelis?! Damn, Angel was right... She is changing..." He stared off into space.

I sucked my teeth. "Nigga be serious! I don't know what the fuck to do..." I put my head in my hands.

"Bro, Ima be so honest with you. Me and you both know that when it all comes down to it, Kelis don't love you. She never did. She's temporary. If something ever happened to you, you know she wouldn't be there. You just holding on to something that's not there. I get it, she was the first girl you really ever loved. But she didn't love you back." He shrugged and I sighed.

"You love her right?" He asked. I looked over at him as he sat on the other side of the couch. "Without a doubt..."

"Then go talk to her.."

"She said she never wants to see me again..." He waved me off.

"Awe hell nigga! Women always say that shit. They just be mad." I shook my head.

"No bro... I think Steph was deadass. She never said that shit before. Ever." I put my head down.

"Nigga just go talk to her. And without the yelling this time. Have a real adult conversation with her. Apologize for walking out the way that you did. Apologize for not understanding her on why she didn't tell you all that shit about her in the beginning. I know you love her. I've never seen you act like this about no girl. And that baby shit? If God wants it to happen then it will... Yes, her telling you would've made everything easier, but she was scared. That nigga who she was with used all that shit against her. Hug her. Hold her. Shit, fuck her if she let you. Go talk to her bruh..." He picked up my keys and handed them to me.

"Thanks man.." I whispered as I stood up.

"You're welcome nigga. You getting old man. You may not look like it, but you are. Hell I am too. Gotta get your shit together B. Gone lock Steph down and marry her. You know you love her crazy ass." He smirked at me.

Thinking about her made me smile. I missed my baby. Her sexy ass...

I chuckled. "Whatever nigga." I said as I walked out the door.

I made it down to the parking lot. I felt the cool night air brush against my skin as I walked into the direction of my car.

I saw a dark skinned man walking into my direction wearing dark clothing. His hood was on his head. He was staring at me hella hard. We walked past each other without saying a word.

I made it to my car, but as I went to pull the door knob, I was distracted by someone trying to get my attention. "Aye." The voice said behind me.

I turned around. It was the guy that walked past me. "What?" I mugged the fuck out of him.

"Ain't you that nigga that was all on Stephanie Ig and snapchat and shit?"

I scrunched my face up. "Why it matter to you?" "I'm Glenn." He reached into his waistband and pulled out a gun with a silencer on it. He pointed it in my face. I guess he thought that was supposed to scare me. "You was talking all that shit over the phone. Now you ain't got shit to say."

I scoffed and laughed in his face. "Yo fuck outta here!" I waved him off and turned back around.

"Fuck you laughing for? You think this shit funny?!" He yelled.

I chuckled. "It's real funny actually." I said as I opened my door. I heard the gun cock back. "Nigga I'm not playing!" He yelled.

I'm tired of this nigga.

I slammed the door and pulled my pants up. "What you tryna do some?" I asked as I turned around. He was still holding the gun up. He didn't want to put it down and fight me. He knew if he did, I was really gone beat him the fuck up.

He pulled the trigger and I heard the bullet wheeze past my ear. I tackled him to the ground. The gun fell with him.

I got up. I kicked him in the face. "Wassup nigga.." I said as I kicked his head six more times.

I then got on top of him and punched him repeatedly in the face. Blood gushed out of his nose and his eye was swollen shut.

"That's why you ain't wanna put that gun down: you pussy. You a bitch." I said through gritted teeth.

I was so busy beating him up, that I couldn't see him reaching, feeling around for the gun. He held it up and we began to struggle for it.

After a few seconds of doing that, the gun went off...

Dave

I locked my phone and looked around for the remote so I could turn the TV off.

I spotted it on the couch, but next to it was a slender black Louis Vuitton wallet. I knew it wasn't mine because mine was brown.

Damn, my nigga left his wallet... Let me try to catch him.

I grabbed it and hopped up but soon stopped in my tracks.

Nah that nigga probably gone now. I'll just take it to him in the morning or he'll come back looking for it.

I sat it back down. I looked at it. Nah that nigga probably worried to death tryna look for it.

I picked it back up and ran out the door.

I got to the parking lot and ran to my parking spot. It looked like someone was laying on the ground. I stopped.

I focused my eyes on them. Even though it was dark as fuck outside, I could see that they had on a long sleeve stripped shirt.

Oh fuck...

I ran up to him. He was clutching the side of his side. Tears stung my eyes.

"Yo, yo B I'm here! I'm here man..." I said as I dropped to the ground, holding him. "Who did this to you?!" I yelled at him.

"Glenn pussy ass." He mumbled.

Glenn? What the fuck was Glenn doing over here?

"Ima kill that nigga... I promise you he not gonna get away with this." I said through gritted teeth. "I'ma pick you up and put you in my truck okay?"

He nodded his head as he breathed heavily. "One.. Two.." I picked him up.

"Aaaahhh! FUCK DAVE! What happened to three?!" He screamed. I opened the door. "My bad." I said as I put him in the back seat. I closed the door and hopped in the drivers seat.

I started the truck and sped off.

"Fucckkk this shit hurts Dave.." He clenched his teeth. "Well nigga it's not supposed to feel good!"

"Hey my nigga, you gotta be strong man... You can't leave me here bruh. My baby need a uncle man.. If you go, who gonna look after her some happen to me?" Tears rolled down my face.

"Tell Stephanie I love her. And I'm sorry. And I want her to move on and be happy. But she so damn stubborn, I know she probably won't listen. You gonna be alright B... Kiss my niece for me. Tell her I really wanted to meet her." He said as I ran another red light.

"Nigga stop talking like that!" I clenched the steering wheel.

"Aye B... That nigga got mad. That nigga got mad that I was beating him up." He chuckled.

"Who Glenn?" "Hell yeah. He was tight as fuck." We both laughed. His laugh soon turned into a cough.

"Take it easy my nigga.." I said to him as I zoomed to the front of the hospital. I parked and got out.

"AYE! AYE! I NEED HELP!" I yelled as I got Jd out the car. Nurses came up with a stretcher. I laid him on it. "I love you man! You gonna be okay!" I yelled as they rolled him away.

"Sir please wait in the waiting room. The doctor will come out and update you." A nurse said to me. I nodded my head and sat down crying.

I pulled out my phone to call Angel.

Angel

I beat on Stephanie's door. After five minutes of doing so, she opened the door. She squinted her eyes at me.

"Angel? Girl what you doing here it's midnight! Is it time to have the baby already?! Oh god... We gotta go..." She frantically looked around.

"No! No! I came over to come and get you..." My voice cracked.

"Get me for what? Angel what's wrong? Is everything okay?" She furrowed her eyebrows.

"Dave called me and said he was at the hospital..." I whispered. "Oh my God is he okay?" She touched her face.

"Yeah yeah he's fine..." I nodded my head. "Well that's great!" She smiled.

"But Jd isn't...." Her smile faded. "What do you mean?"

"Stephanie, Glenn shot Jaceyon..." Her mouth hung open. She clenched her chest. She looked like she was about to faint. I hurried over and caught her.

Stephanie

I ran into the hospital with Angel. We ran to he waiting room and saw Dave sitting there with his head in his hands.

He looked up at us. His eyes were bloodshot red.

"Have they told you anything yet?" I sat down next to him. He shook his head. "No..."

"David, what happened?" Angel asked him as she rubbed the back of his head.

"I-I-I don't know.. He left his wallet at my crib and I went downstairs to try to catch him. And when I got down there, he was laying on the ground... He said him and Glenn fought and Glenn got mad because he was beating him up."

"Family of Jones!" We jumped up and ran over to him. "How is he?" "Is he okay?" We bombarded him with questions.

"As you know, he was shot in his side. We were able to successfully remove the bullet, but he had a lot of internal bleeding. We tried our best to revive him, but were unsuccessful. He died on the table. I'm sorry...."
