Thugging With My Thuggette

TWMT 37

Arely

"Bitch. I can't believe you're moving to Atlanta what the fuck for?" Daisy said. Me her and Teddy was just chilling eating snacks and watching cartoons.

"I mean, Smoke and I was talking last night and he asked me, He said once K gets out of the hospital he bought a house in Atlanta and he wants me to come. I mean I'm all for it I've always wanted to move there." I said.

"Wait, so this nigga is moving and haven't even told anybody?" She said.

"What do you mean he haven't told anybody?" I laugh a little.

"I mean. maybe he just thought of it, I'm pretty sure he told Tez and Kane already." I said.

"Hell no Because Tez would have told me or Kane would have told Ryder and Ryder would have told me." She said folding her arms. She took her phone out.

"What you doing?"  I said.

"I'm calling Tez." She said.

"Omg." I said shaking my head.

"Why the hell we not moving to Atlanta Tez!" She yelled through the phone as soon as he answered.

"Man if you don't get yo ghetto ass off my phone with that shit goofy." He said.

"Well somebody better tell me something." She said. "And I don't have all day.

"It ain't like yo ass gone wanna move!" He said.

"Who?? I'll have my bags packed 2.5 seconds."

He sucked his teeth.

"Mane whatever, imma hit you up later bro." He said hanging up.

"Now who you calling?" I asked..

"Ryder, cause I know she don't know about this."

"Day. You're really doing the most." I said shaking my head and turning my attention back to the Tv.

I looked at my phone since it was now vibrating in my lap. It was an unknown number calling so I declined. It rang again soon after,

"wtf" I thought to myself.

I answered sounding like a dude or at least trying to sound like one.

"Arely?" I heard my mother's voice.

I mentally rolled my eyes..

"What's up?" I ask getting up from the couch to walk off in private. The line grew silent.

"I just, wanted to apologize about everything." She suddenly said. How did she get my number and why would she call private.

"It's a little too late for that ma don't ya think?" I said nonchalantly.

"I understand." She said. "It's just, I won't be around much longer, I'm sick, I'm dying Arely." She said.

No matter how bad my mom ever done me I honestly never want to see her die no matter what I've said.

"How'd you get my number?" I wondered out loud.

"Just know that I had to do a lot to get it and I was desperate because I needed to hear from you." She said.

"Okay so now that you're dying you want to make amends." I spoke nonchalant.

She sighed a little.

"I want to make everything right." She said. "Besides, your birthday is in a few days I wanted to tell you happy birthday before it's too late." She said making my heart drop a little. My mom rarely knew anything about me or so I thought, but for her to remember my birthday it kind of meant something. But yeah I'm not falling too fast.

"What hospital?" I asked her.

"St Anderson." She said.

"Alright I'll try and come later." I told her ready to hang up, my man was coming in.

"What's up." He said watching me.

"Nun, waiting for you." I said.

He nodded.

"You cool wit what we talked about?" He asked. He was talking about us moving to Atlanta. Of course I was cool no second guesses.

"Definitely." I said.

"Cool." He said walking over to me where he kissed me on the lips and started to walk off.

"Where you goin'" I asked.

"Imma go chill, ain't nun else to do." He said.

I agreed

Daisy left and the 3 of us was just chilling. I told Smoke I wanted to go and visit my mom. He was real iffy.

He didn't say but I knew it. I know he probably didn't think it was safe for me to go up there but I was gonna go, to at least say bye.

When he and Teddy went to sleep I got the keys and got ready to go and see her.

I went into the hospital looking to get direction from the nurses and was lead to her room.

I got to the door and knocked.

"Come in." I heard a male voice say.

I slowly walked in and in fact my mom was in the hospital bed but a detective was standing beside her.

"Shit." I said closing the door trying to leave but someone was behind me.

"Arely, we have a couple of questions to ask I'm gonna need you to come down to the station.."

"Am I under arrest."

"No ma'am we just need you to clear up some things."

"Well if you'll excuse me I'm gonna have to pass because if I'm not being arrested than I don't have to go with you."

"Well that's fine too just wanted to give you a chance to clear your name but if you wanna take the hardest route that's cool too." He said.

"Hard route what does all that supposed to mean?" I asked with attitude.

"I can't say much here I'm giving you a chance." He said.

"Wait just let me call my boyfriend." I said stepping to the side to call Smoke.

He didn't answer.

"Fine." I said.

They took me downtown to the police station and put me in an interrogation room. I sat there for about 45 minutes before someone even came in..

He sat down

"Do you know what this is about?" He asked resting back folding his arms.

"Nah." I simply said.

He pulled a picture from out of nowhere. I leaned up and looked at it. It was a picture of Monty's autopsy.

"Wwho is that." I stuttered nervously. It wasn't from what I had done but because this picture just freaked me out. It was scary I honestly hated I did that...omg smh

"You know exactly who it is." He said.

"How are you gonna tell me who I know?" I said sitting back trying to play cool.

"Okay, let's not beat around the bush, why was your prints found on the car that this man was killed in?" He asked me.

"Look I don't know but I've gotta go. I gotta get back to my car." I said.

"Oh you mean the car that belongs to your boyfriend?" He said.

I laughed a little,

"Yeah, that one." I said getting up and getting ready to walk out of the room.

I caught a cab back to the hospital my bitch ass mom had some explaining to do.
