SOULMATES

Anger pov

As i got out the car i seen the kids, packed up and leaving out the house.

I ran up to them with the folders under my arm.

"Yo yo yo yo what the hell is y'all doin?" I asked them.

Kamanii scoffed. "We leavin."

"No yall ain't, get back in the house man."

I looked at Nazel and picked her up. She was wearing the clothes she came here with. I picked up some of their bags and opened the door.

Nazel laid her head on my chest.

"Shut the door nigga." I demanded Kamanii.

"Listen can you stop wit da bullshit-"

"Shut the fuck up and listen to me. I got all of y'all papers. The system wont come looking for you even if did let y'all fuckin leave. I've made up my mind. So sit the fuck down and get comfortable!"

I grabbed Sayores' hand gently and walked upstairs while still holding Nazel with my other arm.

Kamanii pov

I watched as he went upstairs and opened the door, leaving.

I don't even know this nigga and for none of us to be related to him this is all just a waste of time. He thinks just cuz he's an adult (barely) he has any control over us- ME. I could take care of us without anyone helping out. I don't need no hood rich nigga that cant even put his cash in the bank.

I walked across the street and went into the corner store. I had some pocket change and i was feening for some hot fries.

I walked in the back and started staring at all the chips, getting upset cuz i cant find the fuckin chips i want. "Mcht, here they go." I grabbed the chips and walked up to the cashier. There was two men in front of me negotiating somethin'.

"Nah nigga you got my shit or nah?" the man ask with aggression.

"Nah bruh, not today. I got you soon though." The other nigga replied.

Without hesitation the other nigga pulled his glock out and started shootin at him. I froze

My body flinched after each bullet was shot into the man

A couple seconds after the nigga ran off the indian man ran over to the man gunned down, screaming and yelling for someone to call 911.

I felt the warm little specks of blood splattered on my face. I couldn't speak. I couldn't move. I couldn't think...

A couple people ran in, trying to help him. The indian man looked up at me and nodded his head, assuring me to go.

I snapped back and dropped the chips, fast walking out the store. I took my hoodie off and wiped my face with it. It got dark quickly.

The sirens were coming from down the street. I quickly made it back to the house and banged on the door.

Anger pov.

"We're going shopping tomorrow so you little people won't have to walk around like no one cares about you."

"I mean no one really did care about us until now." Sayore replied.

"I car-"

I got cut off by the banging on the door. My heart sank.

I looked at the kids and put my finger up to my lips.

I went downstairs and grabbed my gun out from between the pillows.

Yea i know it's not safe i have a 4 year old walking around. Imma move it stfu.

"Who is it?" I asked while standing behind the door.

"K-Kamanii."

I put my gun in the back of my pants and unlocked the door.

"Nigga what the fuck is you doin outside-"

Without hesitation Kamanii slammed himself into me and hugged me tightly, crying. I stood there. Shocked at what's happening.

I shut the door and locked hit before hugging him back stiffly.

"You ite?" I asked him.

He stayed silent and pulled away from me. He looked at me and i noticed the blood smeared on his face, along with tears. He moved past me and went upstairs into the guest room he's now staying in, he shut the door.

I still stood there in shock n confusion. What the fuck happened?

~~~~

I woke up to Nazel jumping up n down on my bed. Her hair was out of the two lo pig tails she had in.

I groaned and flipped over, groaning. "Kid go head somewhere."

"Get up! Get upp! I'm hungry!" She yelled.

She jumped on my back, knees deep. I shouted from the pain and grabbed her and flipped her upside down. "LITTLE GIRL!" I yelled and started tickling her.

She started busting out laughing and tried to move away. "S-stopppp it!" She whined.

I laughed at her horrid laughter. After a second i stopped tickling her and got out the bed.

She got out the bed and ran for her life. I chuckled and shook my head.

After a minute i put on some sweat pants and walked into Kamanii's room. He was bundled up in the bed. I only seen his locs poking out of the covers.

I really wanna know what happened to him last night. I wanna be there fo em. But i'm not finna force him, he'll talk when he wants to.

I went downstairs and started cooking breakfast for the kids.

My phone started ringing and i moved from the stove.

I answered it and held the phone with my shoulder to my ear. "Yo"

"Nigga you need to get down hea like dead ass. Them niggas gettin too comfortable on our block. The weird thing is, they shootin they own people in our territory. They doin our job for us yo!" Lance continued to blabber about what i missed, trying to get this kids in order.

"Wait what did i miss? Is you holdin it down fo me?" I asked while flipping some fuckin pancakes.

"You know it my nigga. But you need to get down hea. I cant keep doin this for long. Niggas need you and trust you way more you know this"

"I know i know, i gotta go shopping for the kids and i'll be there."

"Oh wow...You made your mind up huh?" he asked me.

"MMMM PANCAKES!" Sayore shouted while grabbing a plate.

"Nigga put that down, you not finna eat all dem pancakes." I snatched the plate from him and placed it back down.

"I guess i did Lance." I sighed
