"Yeah I know you do. I'm just thinking about how big they probably done got like I really got me a teenager and a 6 year old" Terrence spoke, amazed. "Yeah I know right, T'Arra probably taller than you now" Tyler teased. "Yeah she probably is" Terrence admitted. They just blabbered on and on just talking about different random things until Tyler got a call. "Hold on" he said putting one finger up.He answered the phone and put it up to his ear. It was a call from the jail. Who in the hell from jail is calling me? Tyler said to himself.
The present....
Tyler POV
"Aye cuz you ok?" Asked my cousin Terrence. "Yeah I'm ok, I'm just- trying to see something" I told him. "See what?" Said my cousin hella confused. "Shhhh" I told him. "You are receiving a call from... Keith David" when those words right there came out, Tyler was lost for words. "Tyler are you ok?" My cousin repeated himself. I just nodded. "Do you accept?" "Yes I accept it" i answered. "Son? Hello?" My father voiced out. "Dad what in the hell are you doing in jail?" I questioned. "Aye boy don't use that language with me!" He semi shouted. "Well... what are you doing in jail?" I corrected myself. "Well I can't say what I wanna say because I don't know if they're recording me but something that I told somebody to do they wanted to be a bitch and not do it so now here I am" he spoke, making it obvious to me that he was talking about my cousin Terrence."Aye dad chill out with all that" I warned him. "Chill out with all what?!" "Look, is you gone actually explain to me how you got up in there or not?" I spoke, getting irritated. "Dumbass boy didnt I tell you that I gotta watch what I say? Look just bail me out of jail and then I'll tell you what all happened" he said. I scratched my head. "How much is yo bail?" I questioned. " $2,000" he stated. My eyes widened. "Dad-" "what? You ain't got $2,000?" "I mean I do but that's a lot of damn money and I got bills to pay man I'm not tryna be behind on none of my bills" I told him. "Well get Terrence bitch ass to go half and half to get me out of here" he suggested.
"First of all I'm not about to tell him to do nothing because you keep on calling him that. And really dad? Really? How you talked to him and still talking to him and now you want him to bail you out?" "You have one minute left" "look I don't have that much time so I'm not about to keep arguing with you. You either get the boy to go half and half or you don't. Bye" he said and hung up the phone.
"Unc in jail?" Asked my cousin. "Yeah he is" I answered. "He got bail?" He questioned. "Yeah he do" I answered. "How much is it?" He questioned. "$2,000" "damn" said Terrence. "Yeah and I got the money but I gotta pay my bills. If I give him $2,000 then ima come up short on my bills and he wants me and you to go half and half but I can't let you do that" I told him. "Why not? That's my uncle and that's your dad. I mean, regardless of what went down between me and my uncle that's still my uncle and I still love him" Terrence stated. "Well he kept calling you a bitchass on the phone so getting you to go half and half, that's something I'm not gonna do because that'll be like I'm using you just for my dad freedom and out of all the shit you done for me.... that would be deadass wrong" I explained.
"Mmm... so he still on that I see" spoke Terrence. "Yeah he is, don't got the same mindset you just had a few minutes ago do you?" I questioned and he shook his head no in agreement. "I mean I still love him but as far as that's my uncle and sure we can go half and half.... nah I don't have that type of mindset anymore" Terrence confirmed. "Oh ok"
"But since that's your dad I'll help you get him out. Not because that's my uncle but because that's your dad and I know that if you could, you would get him out" Terrence told me. "Nah man I can't do that" I rejected. "Come on please? I just got my paycheck and you know I make like 12,000 so if I give you 2,000 I'll have 10,000 left and I'll still have enough money to pay my bills and everything" he explained. "Once again, thank you but no" I repeated. "Tyler-" "no Terrence I can't let you do that aight!?" I raised my voice. "Just stop being so stubborn and say ok" he told me. "I'm not being stubborn I'm just protecting you. He probably won't even thank you if you bail him out" I told him.
