Maya's POV
"Fuck him, he don't deserve you", said Alexa while rubbing my back.
"I I just thought I could trust him, he was so good to me" I said as I sobbed. Last night after Ray told me what happened I drove to Alexa's house instead.
"Look Maya, niggas ain't shit and ain't never gone be shit. Forget him, forget him forever"
She was right, she was so right and from now on I was gone do me.
"You right Lex " I said while wiping my eyes.
"I know I am" she said. "Now get up, go home, and start packing your bags".
"OK" I said as I walked down the steps and to the door. "See you tomorrow "
Rays POV
"Man that's on you, I told you don't fuck with the streets" said Drew through the phone
"Yea, yea man I know it's my fault, I don't even know what was going through my mind. I just really was focused on that money and not the consequence "
"Yea I hear you bro, how you gone get her ba-"
"Drew? Drew?" I said getting a little nervous. "Drew!?"
"Yo this Ray?" Said a deep voice
"Who the fuck wanna know and watchu doing with Drew?! " I said getting even more nervous.
"Don't worry about all that man, just know that you got one of ours, and we got one of yours" I heard my name being called in the distance and I knew it was Drew
"Yo man you betta tell me who you is yo I swear!" Bang! Bang!
I heard the shots loud and clear and the yelling my name stopped.
The man got back on the phone, "now that you see we ain't fuckin' around, never touch any of my niggas again". The line went dead and I fell to my knees, all of this, all because of me.
Maya's POV
"Maya we gotta go see Drew before we leave" said Alexa looking worried. Apparently he was shot last night but thankfully it wasn't fatal.
"Of course Alexa, anything for you" I said as I started up the car and made my way to temple hospital.
When we pulled into the parking lot I noticed Ray's car and my face turned red with anger.
Alexa touched my arm, "it's gone be good girl, just don't pay him any attention ". I nodded my head and we got out of the car and into the hospital. We checked in and made our way to his room where sure enough, Ray was. He looked at me and I looked at him and then looked away. He started to walk towards me but I walked away, not wanting to talk to him.
I looked at Drew and he wasn't that bad, they just got his arm and leg. Alexa cried on him and he tried to tell her he was ok but she wasn't trying to hear that. She's so dramatic. Then I felt and touch on my arm and looked up to see it was Ray pulling me into the hallway. I jerked my arm out of his grip and tried to walk back into the room. He stopped me, "look Maya, I- "
"What part don't you get about don't talk to me?!" I said getting a little loud.
"I'm just trying to say that I'm sorry" he said as he looked down at his feet.
"Well guess what Ray? Sorry don't bring Duke back from the dead!" Now people were staring.
"Delete my fuckin' number" I said quieter as I walked into Drew's room.
Ray's POV
Maya had just cursed me out and I never felt worse. I couldn't blame her though, couldn't blame her at all. This was all my fault and I needed to fix it.
