♤ NARDO ♤
"Nardo." At the sound of his sister's voice Horace looked up, pausing as he ate his cereal.
"What?"
"Where you been going these past few days?"
"My meetins',"He gave her a pointed look. "Ain't that what you wanted?"
"I'm talkin' bout after."
"You said I was free to do what I want as long I pitch in."
"I know what I said lil nigga."Maia bit back leaning over a chair. "I'm just takin' an active role in ya life."
Knowing she wasn't gonna drop the subject, Horace sighed swirling his spoon in the bowl.
"I been hangin' with a guy from the classes."
"Mhmmm."
"Whatchu' mhmming for?" He asked hating how quiet she'd become.
"Just thinkin' is all."
"That ain't ever good."
"Go to hell."
"You first."He bit his lip nervously,"Seriously, what you thinkin' bout?"
"I just hope he ain't like the last friends you had."She shook her head, "They ain't do shit but ruin ya life."
At the mere mention of the situations he'd been in Jacksonville, his stomach went queasy.
"Ion see how they ruined somethin' that was already ruined."
"Nah, they made you a worse person."
"What if I was already a terrible person?"Horace ate another spoonful."I'm yo lil brother you biased already."
"Don't be a smart ass."She was quiet again, this time grinning."I'm proud of you."
His heart warmed up at the words, Horace's eyes going downcast onto the table so she wouldn't catch his smile.
"For what?"
"Stickin' with the meetins'. You told me how you ain't wanna do them and still you pushed through."
"Ain't like I had a choice."
"Still proud." She said sounding genuine.
He didn't have the heart to tell her the reason he was going didn't have shit to do with his anger.
Standing up and stretching his legs, Horace glanced at the time on his phone.
"Ight, I'm gone-"
"Goin' to see that friend?"
"Yeah."
"Okay then be safe, love you." He hummed it back then leaving the apartment.

Kentrell and him were in the older's kitchenette, Horace watching as he ate sitting atop the counter.
"So later on my niggas comin' through, you wanna stay and meet 'em?"
"You got friends?" He kicked his leg out making Horace dodge his foot with a laugh.
"Don't play with me, bitch."
"You always gettin' offended from my questions."
"Cause they be stupid."Kentrell smacked his lips."You think I be talkin' about imaginary niggas?"
