Ch.48 Her Safety

DANIEL'S POV.

"Hello?" I answer my phone cause it was ringing.

"Hey come through to my house and drink for a little bit" Reks says.

"Alright I'll be there in a minute" I say then hang up.

I change into a black t-shirt, jeans, a pair of Jordan's, and a SnapBack.

Then I go outside to my car and drive to Reks house.

It's been a week since I was released from the hospital.

I wasn't in there long, just like 2 days.

It doesn't surprise me that Chino stabbed me though.

He would do some bitch shit like that.

But he's in jail now.

He got attempted murder and assault.

So he's gonna be in there for a while.

I get to Reks house and see he's in his driveway working on his car, bumping music and drinking a beer.

I get off my car and walk up to him.

"What's up joto" I say jokingly sitting in a chair near him.

"Sup, you can get a beer from the ice chest right there" he says pointing so I do.

"How've you been dawg I haven't talked to you in a minute" Reks asks.

"I been alright, I've been home all the fuckin' time all laid up and shit but I'm good now" I tell him.

"That shit was crazy that night dawg" he says shaking his head.

"Foreal man I don't even remember much, I shouldn't even be here right now".

"I know, had us all freaked the fuck out especially your girl and your moms" he tells me.

I suck in my lips and look down nodding.

"Yeah that shit had me thinking" I say quietly taking a drink of my beer.

"About what?" He asks scrunching his eyebrows.

"I don't know, like, Gia, I don't want her all involved with my shit like that foo, I'd never forgive myself if anything happened to her feel me?".

"I hear you G but I mean she deals with that shit anyways" he says with a shrug.

"I don't know" I say with sigh.

My phone vibrates so I look at it.

It's a text from Gia saying to kick it.

"Aye dawg I'm gonna bounce I'ma kick it with my girl for a bit" I say standing up.

"Oh alright come through again later though I'ma barbecue with the home boys" he says as we shake hands.

"Forsure" I say taking the last drink of my beer then walk back up to my car.

"Hey" I hear a voice say so I turn around.

It's Gio with Psycho, Hector, and Manny walking up the sidewalk.

"Oh what's up" I say shaking his hand.

"You leaving or what?" He asks as I shake the other homies hands.

"Yeah I'm gonna come back later though" I tell him.

"Alright my boy see ya" he says as him and the homies walk into Reks's gate.

Except for Manny.

"Aye can I talk to you for a minute?" He asks.

"Yeah what's up?" I say leaning back against my car.

"Well first of all I'm glad you're alright you know after all that shit with Chino happened" he starts and I nod.

"But look, I don't want Gia to be, all involved with the beef you have with other people and get her involved and get her in trouble" he says.

"Nah I know I don't want that shit either but I didn't know Chino was gonna be there and stab me" I tell him.

"Yeah I know but still, that's my little sister, you know how it is in this life, if anyone that's looking for you can't find you, they're gonna go after the next best thing that will fuck you up, and if it ain't your family, it's your girl" he says.

I nod.

"Yeah, I was thinking about that" I say looking away.

"Look I just wanted to let you know I had told Gia too I don't want her to end up, fucked cause of someone else's problems feel me?" He says.

"Yeah G I feel you don't trip" I say nodding.

"Alright I'll see you later dawg" he says then walks up to Reks house.

I sigh and get in my car.

He's right, man.

Gia has her own problems she don't need to be dealing with mine.

I mean, my family is notoriously known.

Us Blanco's have plenty of enemies.

Some enemies that won't think twice about hurting Gia just because she's my girlfriend.

Maybe it was a bad idea to get her all mixed up in this.
