LOVE ALL

Part 5

Keem

I've been in ATL for awhile now, shit was lit here. The girls, the clubs, and I was getting money. But I was ready to get back to the D, I hated being away from my business. It gave opportunity for problems and shit to happen. Ron was holding it down though, he was doing what needed to be done and that's the reason he was my right hand man.

"Baby you coming back to bed?" Deja yelled out into the house. Deja was a girl I was staying with until all this shit cleared up. She was cool, I've known her for a few years now. Every time I went to ATL we kicked it.

"Yeah I'll be right there Dej" I said. I walked out onto the balcony and took out my blunt and lit it up. I put the blunt in my other hand and called Ron.

"You picked up the money?" I asked him.

"Yeah, I'm about to deliver tonight" he said. I took another puff.

"Good shit"

"Keem we have a problem tho" Ron announced

"What nigga?" I did not need this shit especially cause I'm not down there to handle it.

"We need more space.. we got hella product sitting around," Ron spoke "Lala's men came and told us that after this drop tonight he's upping re-up time.."

"Shit..." we needed that territory like yesterday and I know the Meech plan wouldn't be that quick. "Fuck...uh here's what we do... " I explained the plan to Ron. I was going to frame Jojo, another gang leader for the murder of Jay the guy that i killed.

This way we can kill two birds with one stone.. The cops have their guy so I can go home and we have more space to expand.

"Bet..." Ron said ending the call.

"Bae you said you were coming," I hear Deja walking behind me. She rubs my bare back. "What you out here doing anyways?"

"Nothing let's go to bed..."

Next day...
Kennedy

"Girl it's been so long since we've seen each other" Alia my best friend said taking a sip of her coffee. We were at this local coffee shop.

"I know, I just been so busy these past few days," I spoke "You know with studying and stuff.."

"What stuff?" Alia said with a smirk. I couldn't help but smile knowing what she was implying too. "Spill Ken"

"Ok ok," I told her all about me and Meech and how he came over.

"Oh wow I'm so happy for you, I'm glad you are putting yourself out there" Alia added

"So what about you Lia?" I asked. Alia kept quiet and just took a sip of her coffee. "Lia!"

"I got back together with Kevin" she said in a quiet tone

"You what?? I know you didn't say Kevin" I said. Kevin was Alia on and off boyfriend. He was a cheater and not to mention very toxic.  "Lia come on you know better" I said shaking my head

"He apologized and I want to give him another chance. Ken can you just respect that?"

"Sorry Alia I can't support or respect you being with someone who hurts you," I said while Alia kept quiet.

The waiter came over to give us our check and I gave her my card.

"Sorry ma'am your card has been declined" the waiter said handing me my card. That can't be right it was just working yesterday. Usually Keem would put money into my account every month. There must've been a mistake or something

"I got it," Alia said handing her card to the lady. I said thank you to her and excused myself from the table and walked outside.

I called Keem twice and it kept going to voicemail. I called him again until he finally answered.

"Damn didn't I tell you not to call me" He answered the phone.

I rolled my eyes "My card is not working, it keeps getting declined,"

"Oh yeah.." Keem sounded amused and even let out a small laugh "I forgot to tell you, you cut off until you bring me some shit I can use"

"Keem what am I supposed to do?" I asked. I wasn't surprised he was acting this way. Keem always put his business first.

"Figure it out Ken,"

"Are you serious right now Keem?"

"Imma put this shit simple for you Kennedy, if you help me, you get your monthly money back, law school paid. And if you don't, well...let's not let it get to that..." Keem said ending the phone call.

My body shuddered at his threat if I didn't help him. I didn't know what to do. Keem was making this impossible for me. Meech was such a good person he didn't deserve this. But I didn't want to see what would happen if I didn't help my brother.

"Hey girl you okay?" Alia said coming up from behind me.

"Yeah I'm fine, " I said. "I'll see you later" I said giving Alia a hug and walking to my car.

I sat in my car and hot tears started to stream down my face. Why did I have to be in this situation. I wished I could just live a normal life. Just go to school and not have to deal with Keem's ass.

Incoming Call... Meech 💙

I let the phone ring a few times before so I could clear my throat and stop crying.

"What up ma?"

"nothing, just coming back from lunch with Alia" I responded

"You busy today?" Meech asked

"No, I'm free"

"Bet you wanna come over?"

"yeah sure, I'll be there in a few"

Meech had sent me the address and I ended the call and started to drive. I turned on the radio station trying to find the right station.

"Jontavious Johnson or better known by his street name 'Jojo' was arrested late last night for the murder of Jayson Harris.. there has been evidence..."

I turned off the radio deciding I heard enough. The fact they caught someone for Jay's murder means that Keem could pop up any moment now. What did this mean for me? Or Meech?
