I pulled him in my room quickly before my mother asked what was in my hand.
I closed and locked the door.
"Vade what did you do ..?" I asked , hesitantly.
"I'm not built for this , Carson I can't do this no more. I killed a man today. I was forced to shoot up somebody's house. That man could
be dead right now bro." He said.
"Vade what house did you shoot up ..?" I asked hoping he wouldn't say a grey house two blocks down.
"Some grey house like two blocks down .. the police and everything is there Carson. I could back to jail. Carson I can't go back to jail , I can't be away from Valoure for that long again. Help me , please help me." He begged , still crying.
"Okay .. did you go anywhere with cameras today and did they see you in this outfit?" I asked.
"Yea .." He said.
"Take it off. I'm burning these clothes. And i'm wiping this gun down with bleach then dumping it somewhere." I said.
"Aight." He said , taking off his clothes.
The next morning ..
I was sleep in the bed with Vade when I heard a knock on the front door.
I got up and opened it and I seen Ty.
He was crying and hyperventilating.
"Carson I can't do this shit .. my father really gone bro." He said , crying.
"Ty you gotta relax , i'm out here with boxers on. Relax." I said.
"Carson my daddy gone .. I need you. I need you babyboy." He cried.
I grabbed him and held him as he cried.
Two niggas cried in my arms in the same place.
Over the same situation.
How do I decide who to protect?
If I protect Ty , Vade will never forgive me for it.
But If I choose Vade .. Ty will think I betrayed him.
I don't wanna lie to him but I can't lose Vade forever.
Then it was just my luck that Vade would come out the room.
"Who that?" Ty asked.
"That's nobody baby just um-"
"Im nobody now?" Vade said.
"Nigga who is you?!" Ty snapped.
"Who the fuck you getting buck with lil nigga? I'll break you in half bitch!" Vade said.
"SO COME BREAK ME THEN!" Ty said , trying to jump at Vade.
"BOTH OF YALL STOP!" I said.
"Nah control ya bitch." Vade said.
"Who is this bitch nigga??" Ty asked.
"That's the ex .. the recent one." I said.
Ty backed up from me.
He scoffed and walked away.
I watched him walk down the block until he was out of sight.
I walked back in the house and pushed Vade with both hands on his chest.
"Why would you do that?! He ain't do shit to you! You not my nigga no more so you ain't got no right to press any nigga you THINK i'm fucking with! Get yo shit nd get out. I helped you cover up whatever you did .. but that was it. Unless it's about your son , don't contact me. Ever." I said . walking back my room.
I grabbed his stuff and gave it to him.
He left and got in his car.
I heard his tired screech after he drove off.
I immediately grabbed my phone and texted Ty.
Me: Ty i'm so sorry for that and I know your already going thru so much.
Ty: Stop texting me Carson. Ion want nothing to do with you.
Me: Ty i'm sorry.
Ty: Fuck you.
Wow.
Im stuck in the worst situation possible.
I gotta pick between two niggas that I love.
If I don't pick , i'll lose them both.
But If I do pick .. i'm still losing one.
It's a lose lose situation.
I just gotta decide which one is a heavier loss.
I love Vade and I love Ty.
Losing Vade is like losing a piece of my heart.
Losing Ty is like losing a piece of my childhood. Me and Ty grew up together.
Me and Vade have grown together.
I just don't know ..
Later that day ..
The thought of Ty being mad at me didn't sit right with me.
I got up and walked down the street to his house.
I knocked on the door.
He opened it and rolled his eyes.
"What you want Carson?" He asked.
"Okay so although you might not wanna hear this , I never meant to hurt you and I see how hard things are for you right now. And I um .. I know who killed your father." I finally said.
"What?! AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?! WHO?!" He snapped.
"The ex that you seen earlier .. he did it. He came crying to me for help so I burned the clothes he had on and dumped the gun. I was just tryna help him. Im sorry I didn't think about how you felt beforehand." I said.
"I want that nigga head on a platter for this one." He said.
He snatched my phone out my hand while it was open.
He want to the find my iPhone app and seen Vade's location.
Vade was at a venue.
He was preforming.
Ty jumped down from the porch and into his car.
I watched him speed off.
I immediately ran back to the house and jumped into my car.
I tailed behind Ty till we finally got to the venue.
I jumped out the car and grabbed him before he made in into the club.
"TY STOP! THINK ABOUT WHAT YOUR DOING! THIS IS YOUR WHOLE LIFE ON THE LINE!" I said.
"MAN WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?! AFTER ALL THE SHIT WE BEEN THRU AND YOU COULDN'T EVEN TELL ME!" He snapped.
He pushed me out his way and ran in the club.
I ran behind him and before I knew it , five shots rang out.
