Money 2

Hurt

Koi POV (kJ)

I sat in Bryson's room at pops house and just watched him. Pop pop had one of his ladies clean him up and now he was just laying down sleep. This was all my fault.

The door opened and in walked my dad. He walked over to Bryson looked at him real good then looked at me.

" come on" he said and motioned for me to walk out the room. My dad was a cool dude but whenever he was really disappointed or upset it always hurt my feelings.

We stopped in the kitchen.

" sit" he said while he took his hoodie off. I sat on the counter stool. Pop pop walked in and now I felt even worse. He sat on the end of the counter.

" koi you are 17, you have three full paid basketball scholarships, you are smart and good. I give you everything you need and want. Food, the newest cars, the top of the line clothes, every game that comes out. You never have to share anything with your siblings. You get all throughout the year and more when your birthday and Christmas comes. You wanted to do basketball so I put you in the best camps, you actually played with pro players. So why should you need to sell drugs?" He leaned on the counter and looked at me.

" I just wanted something for my self I guess" I answered honestly.

" so you thought having your own drug empire was a good start? Did you forget what I do for a living? What pop does for a living? This life is not easy, safe and most of all never ends." I could tell he was trying not to yell at me.

" but dad I don't want to go to no big fancy college like miah and Bryson. I don't want to be hella different. I just want to be regular sometimes. So I went to work like everyone else. It was working out until" I stoped because he knows what happened today.

" koi I want you to be the best in everything you want to do. You shot someone today and if you would of killed him then you would have to live with that for the rest of your life. Now there are people in the streets that know what you do and that you are more than just a rich teenager."

" so teach me" I cut him off.

" what?" Pop pop said as if he was confused.

" teach me. You said you want me to be the best so teach me. You two are the best so teach me how it works." My dad was getting upset even more.

" no I want you to go to school get ya paper work and make money like a regular person I don't want you living this life." He shook his head

" ok so I will do both then. I will take the Georgia tech offer and you will teach me how it works. If not then I'll just do it all on my own." I said getting upset too.

" boy!"

" look dad I saved up a ton of my own money, and I already got an apartment I've had for almost a year now. I can survive on my own." It was the truth. Even if he cut me off I made sure I was well off.

My phone started ringing and it read mom.

" answer it she's been worried about y'all before I left. I didn't tell her what's going on, we both know what that will do to her." He said and I answered it.

" hey ma" I said trying to sound normal.

" hey baby I've been calling you all night. You ok? You with ya brother?" I wanted to cry so bad. She was my weak spot.

"Hes ok mama we're at pop pop house, he's sleep in his room." I said and looked at pop pop.

" ok baby, me and miah going to a pool party tomorrow I want you to come please. Ya dad is going too." Damn this was hard.
