"Rayah." I felt Josiah touch my arm.
"Hm?" I said with my eyes still closed. All three of us ended up falling asleep on the couch.
"Yo phone keep going off, i'm tryna get a nap in before we go." He said and I opened my eye.
"Somebody texting me? Who?" I asked.
"That Mykel nigga." He said.
"Ugh I don't know why he keep bothering me when he the one that cut me off." I huffed.
"Why he cut you off?" He asked.
"Cause he can't accept the fact that i'm loyal and in a relationship, he said he couldn't control his feelings." I said.
Siah already knows the history behind me and Mykel, but I didn't tell him everything. That's why he chill about it, he not the type to get all mad if a dude look at me or if a dude try to talk to me cause he knows that i'm his no matter what and I know how to handle my own.
"He did right by cutting you off then fuck?" He said.
"I know but i'm sayin he cut me off now he just bothering me." I said.
"He not yo' ex, why he hooked on you then?" He asked.
"I gotta tell you something." I said.
"Y'all fucked? See this why ion like how i'm not only person you did shit wit. It's beyond me to be honest." He said.
"Siah all them girls you- yeah okay you one to talk." I cut myself off.
"Hell nah, i only got 3 bodies." He said.
"Ok and I do too- Ion give a fuck what you had." He said.
"I don't give a fuck bout what you had either, fuck?" I said.
"Ight but we ain't gone speed past how you said you ain't tell me the full story." He said.
"Oh yeah, so this was a secret between me and him. Nobody else know except for my momma- Fuck y'all do? Murder somebody?" He cut me off.
"Siah be for real." I said.
"My fault." He said.
"I had an abortion." I said.
"When?" He asked.
"A year ago, I didn't want to have a baby with him for the simple fact that we wasn't together, wasn't even dating and I wasn't ready to have a child. I told him and he respected the fact that I wanted an abortion but now I think he showing that he really didn't want that to happen." I explained.
"Damn you took Ftk for real, did you feel bad?" He asked.
"No, it wasn't even a baby yet. I just took it as a lesson." I shrugged.
"Mm...Ain't nun wrong wit being associates but if he doing too much and can't chill out, he gone have some issues or he gone end up like ya boy." He said before getting up and walking away and Jayden moved a little in his sleep.
I started to think about what he said. I never asked him about what happened with D2, I just know every since I told Siah about what he did he hasn't been bothering me anymore.
Siah is one of them quiet sneaky people, I can't describe it. It's like he'll do things that you would never expect.
"Yaya?" Jayden mumbled as he rubbed his eyes.
"Hm?" I asked.
"My back hurts." He said and I scrunched my face up. I thought it was just hurting cause he was sitting up but he's been laying on me sleep.
"Like it's aching?" I raised him up and he looked up at me and nodded.
"C'mon let's go see where Siah went." I stood up and grabbed his hand as we walked around the house.
"Siah." I raised my voice and saw him in the guest room putting Jayden's stuff up. "Jayden said his back aching, he said some about it earlier too." I said.
"When it started hurting?" He picked Jayden up and he hissed.
"Siah, look at his back." I said cause when he picked him up, his shirt lifted up a little. He had a dark bruise on his back.
"What the fuck? Jayden what happened to yo' back?" He asked him as he sat him on the bed.
".....I fell on my toys." He said and Siah started calling his mom.
"Hello, momma you seen Jayden back?" He asked.
"No, what's on his back?" She asked.
"Jayden it's okay to tell us." I said to him.
"I don't want my mommy to get in trouble. She said If I say it she's going to get in trouble." He said.
"I'll call you back." Siah said.
"She did that to yo' back?" He asked and he shook his head.
"Her boyfriend did it?" I asked and he nodded his head and I looked at Siah.
"We need to take him to the hospital to get checked out." I said.
"Where my keys at? Fuck all that other shit getting custody can't wait." He left out the room and Jayden just looked down as his legs dangled off the bed.
"My mommy's gonna be mad at me, please don't tell her I told you." He said.
"I won't.....Here, let's put your jacket on." I said as I grabbed his jacket and helped him put it on.
"Y'all ready?" Siah came back in.
"Wait, don't you think we need to hear the full story first before they call a social worker at the hospital?" I asked
"Yeah I'll be outside in a minute, I gotta put my shoes on." I said before he nodded and walked out.
I feel so bad Jayden. He's literally the most kind hearted kid, he doesn't deserve the way he gets treated.
