Toxic

Chapter Nineteen

Rose, Reagan

Kneeling down in front of my brothers grave, I dropped the beautiful red roses. If it wasn't for my brother, I wouldn't be were I am today, with my family. He's the one who bring me up this tough, and although it may have its downfalls and hardships, I'm grateful to be this way. Because if I wasn't my family would be able to run over me, just like they do Kendrick.

I made sure the flowers were sitting up correctly before sitting flat on my ass and crossing my legs.

I looked up at the blue sky and down to my brothers grave, I didn't even say anything as I just sat there, with my legs criss crossed, and thought about him. I missed him so much, and if I could get him back or, talk to him one last time I would.

I wiped my tears, and started sniffling as I rubbed my fingers across his stone, "I miss you so much big brother."

"I miss him too, everyday."

I turned around to the girls voice, and I was faced with a brown skinned, model figure, shoulder length hair beauty. She was pretty, but she looked tired, stressed out, but I also didn't know who she was for her too be saying that she missed my brother.

"Who are you?"
I questioned.

I know my brother wasn't messing around with anyone ever since what happened with his previous girlfriend, Kiara. Ever since he was played by her, he only fucked around with girls, and after that I never seen them again.

"Well, Karmelo and I, knew each other when we were in high school, and we were very close friends, but you probably never heard about me.."

I nodded my head, and looked at her a little longer to try to see if I remembered her, but I knew I didn't. "I don't know you, and my brother and I use to talk about everything, so if your trying to fuck with me, you got the wrong one."

She held her hand up, "I promise you that your brother and I knew each other. I wouldn't lie about this."

I rolled my eyes, and stood up because I didn't know her like that for her to be standing over my head.

"And how am I suppose to know that?"

She scratched the back of her head and turned around then back towards me, "I have no way to prove it. If you don't believe me, you just don't, but I wouldn't lie about knowing your brother."

I nodded my head, "What's your name?"

"Gabrielle."

I looked at her features and knew I couldn't remember her, and that she was lying about something. She looked scared, and afraid, and her face showed every bit of it.

Coming closer to her, I made sure to stop directly in front of her face, "Stay away from me, my brothers grave, and my family before you, and whoever your working with die. Got me?"

She looked at me, out the corner of her eye since I was so close to her and nodded her head before I walked off. I didn't know who she was, or what she thought this was, but she should've checked my family's name before she decided to pop up at my brothers grave.

Phillips, Domonic

Holding on to my cheek, I knew this would be the last time my mother caught me off guard and slapped me in the face. I didn't even get why she showed up at my house, when I hadn't been talking to her for a while now, and since I knew Jefferey probably told her that I was going against them, I figured that could be one reason why she showed up on my front steps thinking that I'm the one put their shit on fire.

"How could you do this to your father, huh? He's put clothes on yo' back, shoes on your feet, and this is how you repay us, answer me?"

I scratched the back of my head, and decided that I was going to lay everything out to her, and then get her the fuck off my doorstep.

"If you think I'm fucking with y'll fine, then y'll can think that, but even you should know that I don't fuck with fire, ma, you know that. I ain't coming with him that way, when all I want to do is take his throne."

       She rolled her eyes, and tried to step foot inside but I decided that today I was going to stop letting her bitch at me and letting her think she was in control. She had put her hands on me too long, and since she was rocking with my father so much, I didn't even want her fucking with me.

          "So your not going to let me in?"

        I shook my head, "Nah, whatever you gotta say ma, you can say it right now.."

         She looked at me, and I glared back at her, waiting for her her next move. She turned around, and then looked back at me, and started laughing.

        "Your going to regret the way you act towards me, I promise you that."

        I nodded my head, and watched as she walked off from my front steps. She could stick by my father and get played, but I wasn't.

          "You sure about this Domonic, I really don't want to get caught by your mama?"

      I nodded my head, as I looked at my parents driveway a couple hours later. I knew my father wasn't here because he was burned, and I knew my mother wasn't here, because she was either by his side or handling business.

        "I'm sure, but if you scared then say something because I don't need a scary bitch on my team.."

       She had agreed to being apart of the shit I was going to do with me being against my father, but I wasn't sure if she was right for the team.

         "First, I'm not a bitch," she spoke pushing her red hair to the back of her ear, and then turning to me, with her hand on the door,"And second, Im not scary."

       She jumped out of the car and made her way up to my fathers house and because I knew the guards wouldn't question her, I smiled. Everything was going to work out for the best. Fuck my father, my mother, and anybody else who was against me.

       

   Trinity in MM. Any ideas for his wife? What is going on with Domonics mom? Who was that at Karmelos grave? Was she lying about knowing him or telling the truth?
