Pebbles looked around before he knocked on the door. He hated coming over here but he said he needed him so here he was. He didn't understand why he couldn't remove himself from this man's life. He had this type of hold on him that he couldn't explain.

Pebbles knew that he loved him though. He was the first man to show Pebbles different. He was different. Every nigga that he fucked with in the past only wanted Pebbles for what he had. He wanted to give Pebbles the world and then some.

The door opened and there he stood. He towered over Pebbles and they both loved it that way.

"You gon' move so I can come in or we just gon stand here?" Pebbles asked.

He cocked his head to the side and smiled. He loved his snappy ass. He moved to the side and let Pebbles in.

Pebbles took his shoes off and went straight into the kitchen to find him something to drink. He grabbed the orange juice out of the fridge and went over to the cabinet to grab a cup.

"So what's the problem Tez?" He asked him.

Tez looked over at him and sighed.

"My mom is sick. She's dying from Cancer. Never thought that I would lose her this early in life. My brother and sister are trying to take the house from her and everything that she owns." He said.

'Damn.' Pebbles thought.

"Can they even do that? And I'm sorry about your mother." Pebbles said before joining him at the dining room table.

"She's trying to get some lawyer involved. Everything is supposed to go to me she said. I knew they were going to try that shit." He said rubbing his hand over his face.

"So what you going to do?"

"I don't know. They treated my mother like shit their entire lives so why the fuck would they even want anything from her? She's sick and they're trying to put her in a home." He said before laughing.

Pebbles knew what that laugh meant and knew shit wasn't going to be good. Tez was closest to his mother and there wasn't nothing that he wouldn't do for her. He thought that they would at least have some fucking sympathy.

Their mother was dying from fucking cancer and they wanted to put her in a fucking home? He wanted to kill both of them but knew his mother wouldn't want that.

"I heard you and I'm here for you. Whatever you need."

"Thank you Giovanni."

"Jontez please."

King looked over at Alana who was sprawled out in his bed. He shook his head and woke her up. She stirred and looked up at him.

"What time is it?" She asked while stretching.

"Time for you to get out my shit." He said.
