I had just moved into this bitch and now I was being kicked out... let me rephrase that, I should probably say that I'm choosing to leave because of all the drama with Chino and them nigga running up in my house to jump him... yeah I wasn't feeling that shyt so I needed to move. That was the main reason but also because Li'Angelo bring our parents here... yeah that shyt didn't sit right in my spirit, I was coo on this... I forgave them but that didn't mean I had to have a relationship with them, especially when it would be forced. Luckily for me, I knew a guy that sold houses, Legend really helped me out when it came to finding a place that was far enough away that I didn't have to worry about random pop-ups. There were a few other reasons I was moving but those were the main ones and thankfully my landlord was understanding... plus I was tired of having to deal with landlords and maintenance men who took their time coming to fix shyt. I looked over at Chino and smiled, dude had fallen asleep doing his homework and I had been able to sneak out and handle some business, come back and he was still out of it; that was something that happened frequently, Chino would fall asleep working and I would sneak out on little missions......
"Somebody knocking?" Chino asked sitting up, someone was knocking at my door but last time I checked no one had informed me that they were coming over, so I got up, grabbed my gun, and walked out to the front door... these last few weeks I had been on edge, ever since.....
"Elijah? Man, you was about to get shot.... Do you know what time it is?" I asked relaxing a little and letting him inside.
"I know its way past your bedtime, what's the matter Luka someone turned off your night light?" Elijah asked smiling.
"Haha, fuck you nigga.... you better be lucky it's not my bedtime otherwise you would've been sitting out here looking stupid." I said letting him in. "How's Doonie holding up? I can only guess what he's going through right now but I know that nigga is tough....." I said sitting on the couch.
"He's doing alright, better now but... he's fine, I actually came over here to check on you... You've been MIA these last few weeks and I was just making sure Meeko hasn't grounded you or something like that." Elijah said smirking.
"Nah... never, I've just been super busy; house hunting, working on getting this club open, you know I'm still taking classes, plus I got a lot of businesses to run and keeping my dude satisfied... I'm a busy MAN." I said smiling.
"I don't know how you do it... I can barely focus on two things at once and here you are juggling twenty.... So how's Chino been?" Elijah asked.
"He's in there knocked.... school has been kicking his ass.... I've actually been thinking about getting away from here for a week or so... once Chino is on Spring Break... get the fuck outta Columbus and go somewhere tropical." I said already fantasizing about sitting on a beach somewhere, we sat there quietly for a second when I noticed Elijah looking at the gun on the table.
"It's a gun Elijah.... don't act like you've never seen one before." I said laughing but then I noticed he was still staring at it. "You got something you wanna ask me?" I asked looking at him. "Let me guess... you suspect I had something to do with Duron's dad getting shot? I'll say this much.... IF I did it, I would be dumb as fuck to keep the murder weapon in my house... it would be in pieces in different locations, far away from here." I said looking at him.
"For your information stupid.... I never suspected you, you would've been in detention somewhere with your delinquent ass....." Elijah said rolling his eyes. "The reason I was staring and the reason I came over here..... I need a gun and you are the only person I can trust to get it without saying anything." Elijah said which caught me off guard.
"Why haven't you asked Doonie?" I asked looking at him. "Or you have and it didn't go the way you think?" I asked hitting the nail on the head. "Personally, given everything that's going on, I'd think he'd want you to protect yourself..." I said sitting back.
