I'm in my car on my way to my parents house to pick up Nia, My parents been calling me and I haven't been answering cause I know what it's going to be about.

Angie parents are not someone you want to play with, and I know Diamond Father use to be deep in the drug business also decades ago he most likely know the Ferguson Family. He probably even knows my dad from seeing him time to time. I have to defuse this problem very quick before it gets out of hand.

I pull up to my parents house parking in there drive way, I walk up to the door unlocking it with my key I still had. Not even 2 seconds I see my mother turning the corner with the scariest look on her face. My mother is the #1 person im scared of..my dad is #2.

"where the fuck have you been!?" My mother raises her hand and i flinch thinking the was rey hit me. I have PTSD from when i was younger.

"my phone was dead all day..." Lies.

"Taylin and John is in the kitchen..they're not happy about Diamond beating up Angie" My mother says annoyedly.

"yeah i figured.." I shake my head.

"you're dad is trying to talk to them but they want to speak with you before they make any arrangements." My mother gives me a concerning look.

I know how the Fergusons handles business, they like to get real dirty but I could get just as dirty.

We go into the kitchen and once Taylin and John Ferguson seen me they stop talking to my father and stands up. Mrs. Ferguson gives me a smile that I could clearly tell was fake, Mr. Ferguson on the other hand didn't crack not one phoney ass smile.

"Hello Malik..you've grown soo much" Mrs.Ferguson says in her high pitched voice.

"hello Mr and Mrs Ferguson.." I simply say just standing there waiting for them to talk, all this small talk shit is unnecessary.

"can we just get to the point already? I gotta go."

Mr.Ferguson chuckles and rubs his beard.

"So this BITCH who put her hands-"

I furrow my eyebrows and out of immediate anger I take a few step and my mother quickly comes in front of me putting her hand on my chest, stopping me from doing whatever she thought I was rey do. I was not going to hit the man..im not stupid.

"my girl not no bitch! If you gon talk about her, respect her! real shit!"

John rolls his eyes, "this bitch who put her hands on my daughter..this ya girlfriend right?"

I clench my jaws trying to keep my composure, "yes."

"okay so my daughter told me that your 'girl' started it with her...came up to her trying to fight her. do you know why?" He turns his head to the side looking directly into my eyes and I look right back.

"i don't know why the fuck they got into a fight, i don't know what caused it..my girl told me Angie started it.. my girl walked away but then Angie threatened her family so my girl beat dat ass" I say slightly smirking.

John tried to walk towards me but my dad stepped in front of him shaking his head, letting him know he wasn't getting any further to his son.

"you think maybe your 'girl' is jealous?" Taylin spat out of no where.

"jealous of?" I mug them.
