PT. 2

I went into my room, locked the door and put my LED's on green. I tossed the back of snacks on my bed.

I began changing into something comfortable on. I walked over to my bed ,grabbed the bag of snacks and dumped em on my bed.

Hot fries , Pringles , Blue gatorade, and a Elfbar? See I wasn't gon lay off onna nic fasho. I sat on my bed , grabbed the box and began opening it. I finished unboxing & read the words on the vape. "Blue Razz Ice.".

I was about to take the first puff on it but then...

*RING RING!*

It was my phone, I looked over and saw the name Rico. Rico is my main nigga aka my boy best friend we been on the grind since we was lil' kids.

I picked up the phone. "Yo wassup K!" Rico yelled into the phone. "Heyy but why the hell is you on my line this late?" I questioned him.

"Aye bruh you tweaked out onna dead niggas, I was tryna ask if you wanted to link." He replied. I'd sighed at him. "I can't leave at all , I just got yelled at from coming back from the store..but you can bounce over here."

Rico agreed to what I said, "aight , I'll see you inna minute."

"Fasho" I replied.

He had hunged up.

I began waiting for him to pull up , while then I started scrolling on TikTok on my phone.

I heard a car pulling off thinking it was him. It was my mom. "She talm bout me leaving out the house late." I already know she was finna go to some party , get drunk , then come back and yell at me about her problems.

I'd sighed outta relief and flopped onto my bed. I began to zoned out which turned into a flashback....

June 14 , 2014
---------------------

"Ow!" I said while falling on my knee. I'd began crying from the sharp pain. My dad heard me screaming & ran to me. "What's wrong Kiki?"

"I scrapped my knee..." More tears were running down my face making it sticky.
My dad picked me up , ran into the house , & cleaned up all the blood my knee. He put some peroxide on the scar.

"OWWWW!!" I started to cry again. My dad started blowing on the scar to calm it down.
When it stopped stinging , He grabbed a bandage & put it over the scar. "You okay now??" He question me. "Mhm."

"That's good." He replied.

*Timeskip*

It was now nighttime & we were eating about to eat dinner. My mom began saying grace. "God is good. , God is great , Thank you for this blessful meal. Ame-"

When my mom was almost finished with the prayer. Gunshots started going off. "GET DOWN!" My dad yelled while putting me and my mom on the ground. It was quiet until somebody was banging on the door.

I started silently crying until I heard my name in a familiar voice "KIANNA!"

---------------------------
I had woken up from the flashback.
"Huh..." The banging continued. "KIANNA!" Then I remembered. "OH RICO!" I dashed downstairs to open the door. "My bad."

"You coo." Rico replied. He had hugged me. "Heyy!!" We had let go of the hug. Rico began looking around. "Where yo mom at ?" He asked. I scoffed, "She went to work."

"Oh aight.."

KIARA'S ROOM
1:09 pm.
Brooklyn , NYC .

I flopped ontop of my bed , as Rico was looking around my room.

"So wasgood ?" I asked.

"Word to my mother.. shit been boring as fuck dude." Rico began taking off his ski mask shaking his long brown bleached tip locs.

I look at him little bit and thought to myself.

He never looked this fine before... I shouldn't be saying that though he's my best friend .

I heard faint finger snapping.

"Yo K , you good?"

I flinched a little. "Oh yeah I'm good..."

Why do I keep on zoning out?

"You ain't good dude,  sum wrong with you" I looked at him real hesitant. "I told you I'm good there ain't nun wrong me ..." I replied.

"Kianna I'm so deadass right now. I know there's sum wrong with you." Rico said with a aggressive tone.

Was there something wrong with me? I don't know. My mom yelled at me for staying out late even tho it was only 9. Shes on drugs. My dad's gone an-

I felt a nudged. Like I'm falling... Rico had pushed me down on my bed & got ontop of me.

"So what's the deal ?"
