ShanellI stood in Ms. Alexander's spare room in panic now as I pressed my ear toward the room's door, so that I could hear what Cain's deep voice was saying as he went off to her.
All while she obviously tried to stop him.
"Son, you have to calm down-"
"Mama, nah."
"You can't hide them and you can't save them right now. ."
"It ain't no fuckin' saving her or Halima right now." He went on snapping out, all while my breath hitched in my throat, trying my hardest to figure out what my next move was going to be.
If he'd just let me talk so that I could tell him that I had nothing to do with any of this, it would all be okay, but he never would.
He was going to kill me before I could even say anything.
"They snitched, cuh."
"So it's nothing you can do no more, mama."
"Especially BG, man."
"She a fuckin' rat, mama." He went on as Ms. Alexander tried to deter his mind, telling him what we'd just told to her but he wasn't hearing her at all.
He was going off of what his eyes saw.
"Mama, I'm gon' be honest with you—"
"I ain't tryna' hear none of that shit."
"I'm gon' do BG in and Halima, I'm gon' do her dirtier." He went on threatening things now while I stood there with reluctant tears in my eyes.
"Oh my god." I couldn't help but to say, feeling completely helpless now as I wiped my face hard.
"Son, you need to just be calm right now and allow them both to just talk, that's your sister and the mother of your chil—
"It ain't shit to talk about, cuh!" He spat back in rebuttal before she could even finish her sentence.
"That's my sister and my baby mom but they fuckin' ratted."
"They fuckin' ratted, ma."
"And they almost got my fuckin' daughter killed in the midst of it." He went on and I furrowed my eyebrows in complete confusion now as I stepped closer to the door, trying to figure out what the fuck was really going on right about now.
"No, they did not. That's not what was said to me." Ms. Alexander tried to defend but he scoffed, obviously not trying to hear that right now and I just silently prayed behind this locked door that he did.
I needed to know what was actually going on right now and so did he because we were obviously reading into two different stories.
"Mama, I don't care what was said to you."
"I know what the fuck I saw, cuh."
"Plus BG just mad and snitching about some shit that I didn't even fuckin' do."
"And Halima just doing dumb shit because she feel like a nigga fucking up her little love life— since we won't let her fuck with none of the homies in the hood."
"They got my daughter in the middle of all this petty shit, cuh."
"And that shit is foul! Now I want blood, cuh."
"You just gon' have to hate me forever, mama." He went on snapping out as he obviously pushed passed her and made his way up the staircase toward me as I shitted bricks in this moment.
