The Unusual Suspects Book 2

Jay

We was all watching the last game of the night and I can't front, I am faded. I can't keep track of how many shots I had taken, but I was for sure feeling it. I'd be lying if I said I don't know how I got to this point, because I knew for sure. Seeing D and that lil rapper nigga started to fuck with me. Like I felt like Jay Z. I know the way a nigga living was whack, but you don't get a nigga back like that. I can't deny the fact that I still love her ass, but I can see how my actions didn't show that at all. I tried to tell her I love her that day in class and she just gave me the cold shoulder. I may have deserved it, but she used to melt when it came to me. But I guess this is what my mother was telling me before about the signs of the times. The Bible said in the end the love of many would wax cold. I got up to step outside for a minute to smoke my cigarette in peace. I got outside and took a seat on the steps and lit my cigarette. I looked down at my phone and checked my messages. I told Jazz I would be there after I left here. Yeah...definitely not gonna make that. I'm too throwed. I looked and saw it was 11:23 when I saw some bright lights pull up in front of me and footsteps approaching. I realized it was Dom the closer she got to me. After she disappeared in the house, I finally saw the lights turn off and old boy stepped out of the truck.
"Yo you good G?" he asked me.
"I'm always good playa. Maybe not as good as you." I said laughing a little bit.
"Excuse me?" he said as he stepped closer to me for a moment.
"You got my ex now, right?" I said.
"I don't have her. I have her back, I be by her side, I'm helping push her forward. But she has her, you just no longer do." That shit made me mad, I stood up and he stepped closer to me at this point.
"Man trust and believe, I can get her again." I said and he smiled in my face.
"And if you can, I applaud you for that. That's her decision and I respect it. See the difference between me and other niggas is that, I want her to make the decision that is best for her. If that's getting back with you, cool. She's still my friend and that's what matters. If she decides she wants a woman again, cool. That's her desire. If she decides she wants to be single and find herself, great I encourage it. But if she decides to be with me, I'll make sure to treat her like the Queen that she is and you never saw her as. But again, that's up to her."
"How the fuck you gone tell me what I saw her as? You don't know me." I said. He laughed again and walked up.
"I know enough. You're the hotheaded nigga that made my cousin deaf in one ear due to you losing it after a loss. You're the same cat that keeps a flock of females on tuck so you're never alone. The same nigga who flosses the money around, but doesn't understand why that's what these hoes go after. See for you to be Big Dawg, you could learn a lot from Little Man. See Justin, I actually understand you though. You'll never fill that void by keeping someone in the slot, so you don't have to deal. Deal with your mommy and daddy issues and stop looking for these females to fill that hole. Bruh I'm younger than you and been put that to the side to raise my little sister and give her the life that my paralyzed daddy and cracked out mother couldn't. Instead of me faulting them for everything, I stepped up for my sis. When you ready to lay that burden down, come holla at me kid." In that moment, I wanted to be mad. He read me like no other though. "The Henny won't drown them sorrows my guy." he said as he took a step back as Dom walked back outside. "You good Love?" he asked her and she looked at me and then back at him.
"Yeah hun. Yall good out here?" she asked. He looked at me and I at him.
"Yeah we was just shooting the breeze." I said to her.
"Alright, well Mar said the guest room is made up for you. He has your keys." she said to me as she walked off. I watched as he opened the door for her and everything before he got on his side and pulled out. Shit be crazy.
"Now you see. See why I like dude?" Mar said as he stood in the doorway. I looked over at him. "I was standing here listening up until she came downstairs." he clarified with me.
"I get it." I said as I continued smoking my cigarette. "Maybe he's right." I said.
"Bruh, she's getting the help she needs. You need to go back to therapy and be real about everything for sure." he said as I put my cigarette out. "Bring your ass in the house bruh." he said as I got up and went straight for the guest room and laid down. My mom, Mr. Will, Little Man, and Mar were all right if I was being completely honest. I wasn't completely real about everything that was wrong, I really paraded around like life was good and I really was broken as fuck. I mean growing up rich most people don't think you have half of the problems that you actually do. My mother was always successful so I didn't want for shit but I didn't see much of her when it mattered, she always got called away. Pops was locked up for a little over half of my life. The silence surrounded me when I wasn't at school. Now I see how loud silence really can be.
