A Cry For Help

Reality Setting In

*June 28th, 2015*

Camry's POV

We pulled up to Kailah's apartment complex and she was standing outside. Dayshon and Kylen was sitting on top of a car smoking. I checked my surroundings as I turned off my car.

"Let's do damage," Anisha said. I looked at her and half smiled. We got out the car and it was about to go down.

"Here come these bitches again.", Kylen said.

Kailah looked up and started walking towards Kylen. I ran up on Kailah and started beating her ass. I think the devil came outta me because I don't remember nothing. I dragged her by her freshly did sew-in and ripped some out. I was about to stomp her face into the ground but a wave a presence overcame me.

I heard a voice off in the distance. "Tink, that's enough." I knew it was Deandre so I stopped. It was blood everywhere and people standing around. Nobody dared to break us up. When it came to Deandre, I meant war.

"Damn! You got knocked the fuck out.", Avion yelled. I started walking back to the car. "Yo Camry, I'm sorry for your lost.", some boy from school said.

Just the thought of reality setting in, made me mad all over again. I turned around and ran up on Kylen. He slammed me on the ground and I punched him in the mouth. I was straight fighting a nigga but I didn't care. He shot my motherfucking cousin and cost him his life. Avion and Dayshon came and pulled us apart.

Dayshon gave me a small hug before Avion grabbed my arm and led me to the car. Anisha hopped in the driver's seat and I got in the passenger's seat.

Anisha was about to pull off but Avion stopped the car. "Aye, can I get a ride home please?", he asked leaning in my window.

"Yea get in.", I said. He was a sexy, dark chocolate boy. He had some pretty, white ass teeth. He had a body that made a bitch blush and a voice that made a bitch wet. But he wasn't my type. He was just what Anisha liked.

"So Anisha? I know you going through some things but I wanna know if you single.", Avion said. I looked at Anisha as she blushed.

"Yea I'm single. But like you said, I got too much going on.", Anisha replied turning onto Park Ave.

"Well see. If you had me in your life, I can make it easier. I can be the shoulder you cry on and the man of your dreams.", Avion said. Anisha stopped in front of Avion's house.

"That was cute but how many other females have you told that to?", she asked.

"See me? I ain't like them other niggas. I'm honest about mines. I been crushing on you for a while now. And when I heard you lost your cousin, I just knew you would need someone to comfort you.", Avion said getting out the car walking up his driveway. Anisha looked at me, and I smiled.

"Avion, you seem like a real cool dude. You already got my number so use it more.", Anisha said out the window. Avion smiled really hard and blushed. For some reason, he reminded me of Deandre and I was beginning to enjoy his presence.

Me and Anisha rode around the town a few times and then decided to head home. We got out the car and I checked the mail. Anisha pulled the dumpster to the curb and we went into the house. I grabbed my Kush and my extendo and started rolling up. This was a much-needed smoke. I took a drag out the blunt and let out my tears. I passed it to Anisha and she did the same. I laid back on the couch with my hands behind my head.

"You remember when me and Deandre fought that security guard?", I asked Anisha as she passed the blunt back to me.

"Yea, and y'all ran and the only reason y'all got caught was because yo ass wanted to be Cinderella. Losing shoes and shit.", Anisha said laughing.

"Hell yea. Them was my custom made Jordan's with my name on em.", I said laughing.

I took another drag out the blunt. I held the smoke in as long as I could. I started choking and Anisha started laughing. "Tryna be like Dre. You can't copy a real nigga.", Anisha said as I passed the blunt to her. I just nodded and shed some more tears.

I grabbed my phone and dialed Jaylin's number. "Sup baby girl?", Jay asked.

"Nothing much. Where the girls?", I asked, reaching for the blunt.

"Chelsea sleep. Mariyah right here. Hold on.", Jaylin explained. I looked at Anisha, who was smiling at her text messages.

"Hey, mommie. I miss you, but I love being here with daddy," Mariyah said.

"Don't get too attached cus you coming home in a couple of days. I miss you too ugly.", I said laughing.

"Yes, ma'am. Me and daddy about to go so we'll call you back before bedtime.", she pressed.

"Okay, Mariyah. Give CheChe kisses for me. I love yall.", I said. I heard Mariyah giving Chelsea kisses and moving around.

"We love you too mommie. Talk to ya later.", she said hanging up. I couldn't do nothing but smile at the love they had.

Me and Anisha finished the blunt and we was high as hell. We were watching Friday, laughing at everything. "I got mind control over Debo...", me and NiNi recited Smokey's line. It was 8 pm and it seemed like time was speeding up. My phone beeped and it was a text message from Deona.

Dee😏💖: I'm so sorry Camry. I knew better than to be having sex and especially with Jaylin. Please find it in your heart to forgive me. He didn't know my age or that we were kin. Don't take any anger out on him. I'm not asking to move back in with you. I'm just asking for forgiveness. I love you Camry.

I texted back: I Forgive Your Selfish Ass And I Love You Too.

I showed Anisha the messages and she smiled. "You're not holding grudges. You're getting better.", Anisha said laying on the smaller couch. I nodded my head and laid on the longest couch. We didn't go to sleep but we just laid there not talking.

I thought of all the times Deandre and I fought motherfuckers. All the good, bad and sad memories we've had. I started crying again and fell off the couch and onto my knees. Anisha came over and held me.

"Anisha! Why?", I asked. I wasn't really looking for a response so Anisha just held on to me. "My motherfucking brother. My best friend. My ride or die. I was the Bonnie to his Clyde. That was my ride or die, cousin.", I cried out.

"I don't mean to say you ain't my best friend. But when you, Deona and Auntie Jay moved to Cali for them few years, Deandre was the only one I had.", I said trying not to make Anisha feel bad. We stood up and got on the big couch and held each other and wiped away each other's tears. We cuddled up close and fell asleep.
