Diamonds in the Rough: VOL. I

The front door slammed shut causing everyone to stop laughing. They all shared looks as Andre entered the kitchen. When Kianna realized who was behind him she felt herself tense up. Diego looked around the room. When his eyes met with hers he didn't do a double take. It was at that point she realized he didn't remember her. Perfect. She thought to herself.

"Well ain't this the cutest family reunion. But yall missing someone ain't yall?" Diego asked looking over the room. "What my son ain't no good to yall?" He asked. Andre Sr rose to his feet.

"Diego don't start that bullshit boy."

"Fuck you." Diego pushed Andre forward. Kianna caught sight of the concealed weapon in his hand. He raised it toward Andre's dad. Her heart skipped a beat as she thought of her gun back home. Her eyes watered.

"What's that supposed to do? Scare me. Boy you know better."

"My son ain't good enough for you huh? You couldn't stand me since the day I walked through your door."

"What type of man puts his hands on a woman?" Andre Sr spat back. Diego scoffed as he grabbed something from behind the wall. Monica rushed to her feet as the little boy appeared in the doorway. Diego let his gun move over the top of his head.

"Tell your parents why I beat your ass Monica."

"He don't got nothing to do with none of this Diego. Please. Let Dallas go." She whispered.

"TELL THEM OR ILL KILL THIS LITTLE MOTHERFUCKER."

"No I don't want to die." Dallas cried out. Monica closed her eyes as she sniffled.

"I cheated on him with Landyn." Monica whispered.

"Louder bitch."

"He caught me cheating with Landyn." She spoke up. Tears fell from her eyes. Diego looked to Andre Sr.

"What type of nigga raise a whore?" He asked making Andre Sr walk toward him. "Take another step like I'm not the one at advantage here." Diego pressed his gun into the side of Dallas head. His tears picked up then.

"Papa please stop." Dallas begged. "Please."

"Everything is going to be okay baby." Monica spoke. Diego looked at her.

"Is it? He wasn't your baby when you left him with that bitch."

"Watch your damn mouth." Alyssa spoke. He looked to her. "Please. The way she talk about you. She let him come with me with no hesitation. Don't worry I'm sure you'll have a decent funeral for her. Even though yall didn't bother to attend Rob's."

"He's a fucking kid yo. You're jealous of Tyson. Not the fucking kid." Keys spoke making Diego look at him. His facial expression let Keys know he felt his was beneath him. But that didn't stop Keys from backing down. "All this cause you jealous of your brother."

"Bitch shut up. Speak when you spoken to like the bitch you are. You lucky I didn't put my dick down your throat the first time."

"It wouldn't change the fact that Andre and Monica chose Tyson over you. Now your the abandoned little boy who never had a mommy or daddy's love. Your brother found that. He's gotten to help raise your son. Be apart of dinners and shit."

"SHUT UP." He raised the gun to Keys. The whole time her brother talked Kianna was on the move. Her and Dre shared a look as she eased toward him. Kianna's fist lifted at the same time that Andre pushed his nephew out of the way. The gun went off sending a bullet through Andre's side.

Kianna's foot landed into Diego's chest. He was caught off guard so he stumbled back. She rounded her body and sent another kick before she punched him in his jaw sending him crashing to the ground. Kianna quickly ran to him and placed her foot against his throat.
