Bad News

Chapter 7

Y/n POV

It's been a couple of weeks. School is going pretty well I guess. The group is forming such a great bond with one another. Kuz has been killing it on the team. I found out kehlani used to date the point guard.

Kyrie Irving.

That mf has the craziest handles I've seen since Allen Iverson.

I also found out that kehlani doesn't like Christopher Brown.

Shit I don't like him either. From just observing him and his friends, he seems like a stuck up prick.

Kehlanis mom really likes me. She invites me over for food all the time and I gladly accept because who the hell am I to turn down some bomb ass food?

Kuz and Winnie have been flirting a lot lately. Definitely makes me uncomfortable and want to gag.

Zeke is starting to talk and shit.

I've been doing a couple of tasks for my dad like watch certain people. Or maybe he'll tell me to like collect some money from people here and there. Then I've been training a lot too. Gun work, knife work, boxing, man you name it. I have so many bruises on my body you'd think I'm a prince Philip. Got me looking blue and shit. Then again it's keeping me in shape and I'm able to make sure the people I care about are safe.

My mom has been redecorating the house and she's been having me help her paint and build things.

Kuz is fucking lucky he has basketball practice.

Oh and Leon and I have been working on a couple of songs.

Chance is cool with his girl.

Bryson is cool with his girl too.

Everything couldn't be better. Well yea it could but I don't ask for much.

My mind wanders as I stare off into the horizon in our hot tub and my dad sits on the edge.

"Hey dad" I took a sip of my water and looked up at him.

He kissed my forehead and rubbed his thumb over it.

"I'm proud of you"

What?

"Wait huh?"

"I'm proud of you y/n. I don't think I say it enough. You're such a diligent worker at such a young age and I'm proud of you. Every penny I give you, you absolutely deserve and earn it."

"Thanks dad... but where is this coming from?"

"You know you can stop whenever you want to right?"

"Yea dad I know... are you okay?"

"Stand up y/n/n"

"Okay?" I stood up and so did he. He brought me in for a hug and I hugged back not knowing what else to do.

"Please be careful y/n/n. This life isn't the safest."
