Us Against The World

Mending Bridges

I woke up early so I could get an early start I wanted to do something special for Zac. He wasn't able to say goodbye to his mom so I wanted to have a small thing at our place for him. First I needed to go pay Jeremiah a visit so I can get Zac moms ashes if his ass still had them.

I know if I told Zac where I was going he wouldn't approve of me going so I was going to just surprise him. I left him a note and told him I would be back in a few

I pulled up to the projects and everyone was out already smoking and rolling dice. I felt like fresh meat getting out the car. 

Old man: Hey sweet thing (whistling at me)

Fatima: Fuck off old man 

Old Man: Oh you got a mouth, feisty just like I like them

I rolled my eyes and kept going

I made it upstairs I had to say a quick prayer before knocking on Jeremiahs door. So I wouldn't have to jack his ass up for stepping out of line or talking crazy

Knocking on the door 

Jeremiah: Who the hell knocking on my door this early, shop is closed right now

He opened the door

Jeremiah: Well well to what do I owe this pleasure to have Mrs. Bougie at my home. 

Looking around where's your fiancé 

Fatima: He's not here and I wanted to talk to you myself.

Jeremiah: About what

Fatima: I would like some of the ashes so Zac could have something to remember his mom by 

Jeremiah: And why would I do that he don't deserve shit.

Fatima: Have you ever thought about the hands your brother has been dealt but yet ya'll put all the blame on him for not wanting to be around ya'll. Take some accountability your the oldest

All ya'll do is take and take and give nothing in return 

Jeremiah: Zac is a grown man he made his own decisions

Fatima: Not at a young age so I am coming to you nicely give me some ashes 

Jeremiah: Fine, I will give him some only because I know I fucked up I was just trying to hurt him

(A female voice) Babe what is taking so long

Connie came to the door 

Connie: What is she doing here 

Jeremiah: None of your damn business

Connie: What do you mean you are my business 

Jeremiah: If you don't get the hell out of my face 

Connie: fuck you and this bitch 

Fatima looking around because she know Connie wasn't talking about her

Fatima: I'm gone let that slide because I know you're not talking to me 

Connie: You the only other person standing here 

Fatima didn't even say anything she just hauled out and slapped the shit out of Connie. Slapped her so hard she left a five finger imprint on her face

Grabbing her face in shock 

Connie: So you just gone let her slap me

Jeremiah: She told yo ass to go on but you never listen 

Connie stormed off
