SHAKURR put both his hands behind his head as he leaned on the wall. He had a mean hangover, a busted lip and not to mention his knuckles and rib cages were bruised. The events of last night went completely left, he couldn't remember if he initiated it or not. All he knew is, he didn't wanna call his family to bail him out. He just turned twenty-one and this isn't how he wanted to start off finally being a full fledge adult, when people not even his family could really tell him nothing.
"I'm locked up, they won't let me out." Gemini sang on the other side of the prison cell causing Shakurr to shake his head, he always felt bad for bringing Gemini into the mix but the again he also instigated the situation and instigated it even more by jumping in the fight. Shakurr had it handled but that wasn't going to stop Gemini from helping his boy out, he believed the nigga deserved double the ass whooping.
"How you getting outta' here?" Gemini answered, Shakurr shrugged sitting up a little to get a better view of Gemini. He came out the fight completely untouched, he's always been a great fighter with excellent street smarts.
"My girl coming any minute to bail me out, we got to take my baby girl to her doctors appointment. I suggest you call yo brother or yo mama."
"I ain't gone worry my mama with this shit, as long as I pay the bail I should be fine."
"So you just got two thousand dollars laying around? You file taxes early or some?" Gemini questioned with a raised brow."Just ask your brother nigga, he got the money."
"I don't wanna bother him, he just bought me a damn car."
"So? You acting like he gone take it away, he's yo brother, not your daddy. Relax. He'll understand. You was drunk, shit happens."
"Then you don't know, August."
"I know one thing bout' him, he care too much to let yo ass sit in a cell. Just call him, and beg for forgiveness later. First thing first? Getting outta here. Unless you wanna call Tommy?"
"Tommy don't got that type of money, and even if he does. He's tryna get his own shop, I don't wanna hinge on his plans."
"You don't wanna ask yo mama, you don't wanna ask your brothers, what the hell you gone do? Sit in here for a week like they said? And even if you do, you still going to have to pay that damn bail money."
"I could ask Tanya."
"You really think Tanya gone bail yo' ass out after you just punched her little new boyfriend? And we fought all his homies? I doubt she even wanna look at you again after that."
"It don't matter, she care more about me then you think. She just have a weird way of showing it."
"Nah cheating on you..shows how she feel loud and clear. Then instead of apologizing to you, she dumped yo' ass and then got with a entirely different nigga. I'm all about being loyal, but Tanya? She a hoe, in and out, through and through. Wake yo ass up."
"Watch yo mouth, Gemini." Gemini threw his hands up.
"I call it how I see it, I would never call a women what she ain't but that's just who she is. Even if she was gonna bail you out, you need to cut ties. When a women don't want you? It gets real scary, real quick. Leave her alone."
"Whatever, man." Shakurr said waving him off as Gemini shook his head and turned around laying flat on the bench putting his arm over his face. He was used to this, and was just waiting to be gone but he'd feel better if his home boy left first.
"I'm ready for my phone call!" Shakurr exclaimed, The officer slowly looked up before getting up bringing the keys as he opened the gate. He grabbed him by his arms and walked towards the phone booth. Shakurr grabbed the phone looking at all the numbers, wondering who to call?
"Yeah, hello? Uh..I got locked up and I was hoping you can bail me out. It's 2000."
"What?! The hell did you do to get locked up Shakurr? What was you thinking? You just turned twenty-one and this what you decide to do? Become a jail bird?!"
"I'm sorry, August, it wasn't suppose to go down like this and I didn't even wanna calm you because I know you'd be mad-"
"I'm not mad, I'm disappointed. How did you end up there?" Shakurr could hear him shuffling in the background so he knew that August was going to be on his way, sooner or later. A relief but he always felt really bad, August is always busy.
"It's a long story, I got into a fight-"
"A fight?! What I told you about all this fighting Shakurr? If it ain't Tommy, it's you?! When y'all gone realize that fist do not solve y'all answers. This ain't high school, y'all are adults. This shit is gonna get y'all in real trouble one day and what I am? Pose to drop everything, take money out of my bank , to help y'all?! Who never listen?!"
Shakurr stayed silent not knowing what to say, August was right, he always was. It was no point in arguing or talking back.
"Huh?! I ain't talking to my self! Answer me!"
"I don't know what to say but I'm sorry." August sighed over the phone.
"I'll be there in thirty minutes."
"Ok.Thank you, and I am sorry August."
"I heard you the first time, Shakurr." The phone hung up as the officer directed him back to his cell as he sat down and leaned back on the wall, feeling horrible. August always knew how to make anyone feel maximum guilt for the stupid decisions they cause.
