Hakeem
" mane you doing this shit to yourself at this point" I said to Andres who was to my left on the couch and
To my right Imani who was high asf. She had took some shit that had her slump on my coach. "at times bro I be thinking she don't really love me like that Fr" Andres said " I'm saying you should leave she done cheated so many times you might as well"

I stood up and picked up Imani taking her up the stairs to my room . I laid her down on my bed and walked on down the stairs to Andres who was rolling up weed . " you ever scared" he asked me " Nigga scared for what" I replied back " you so deep into this gang shit you ever be scared like you gon die"

What he said kinda shook me cause I ain't really thought about how crazy the guys I sell to are , nigga will do anything for some drugs " I mean I guess now that you say it"

" I know this shit hard but the streets getting hard I think you should stop selling for real" Andres said . I ain't say shit cause what he was saying was risky asf and could get my ass killed and not gon lie I was scared in that moment.

" Andres ..... I'm gon die if I do that shit" I said looking at him and as soon as I said that he started crying. " I be thinking bout you bro , like mani not doing good and if shit happens to her you all I got, I'm thinking bout what gon happen to you" he replied

I was quiet Cause Dres ain't really be crying infront of people . " Dres"

"This weed got me all emotional and shit" he started laughing. I laughed wit him " I love you gang" I said " love you"
We just stayed in silence smoking letting all our feelings go
Imani

I know Hakeem brought me up here cause he thought I was out of it but I wasn't . I just didn't wanna hear abt Andres and his girl fuck them . I walked around Hakeem room but a big blue box caught my attention. I looked in the box and all sorts of pills were in there . I took a satchet of cream color like pill . I examined it. I took about two I think I don't remember you know being high works fucks you up . But anyway yeah I took that shit and lemme tell y'all as soon as I sat on the bed I was out .

I was in lands I knew only existed in books like tell me why my ass was in wakanda at some point like I was in love with that shit so like any other person would do I think they would . I took bout 5-6 satchels of it and shoved it in my bra , panties, pants anywhere I could fit it basically .

So I'm walking down the stairs kinda high but not really showing " take me home Hakeem" I said

" um why not Andres he literally takes you home all the time"

" come on bro quit bitching" I said to keem " alright let's go" one thing bout Hakeem is he feels like he's being a bitch or pussy he gon do the shit you say how you think he got into dealing . Everyone said he was gon be some Nigga on the street wit no car no money and he proved them wrong so hey I guess it works out.
