I slowly open my eyes to feel Tiny's arms wrapped around me and the sound of my phone dinging from text messages from my dad asking where I was and why I didn't go to school. I get out of the tiny's grasp making sure to keep a make a mental note to call my dad. I grab my backpack and tip-toed to his bathroom because I didn't know if his mom was home or not. I turn on the shower and get in. I hear the nob turn and someone walks in turning on the sink, making my body stiffen. I peek out of the curtains and see Tiny brushing his teeth. Tiny you scared me I nagged peaking my head from behind the curtain. He laughs under his breath continuing to brush his teeth. I waited for him to leave out of the bathroom so I could change. I put on my Calvin Klein sports bra and leggings.
I walk back into Tiny's room, I lay on his bed looking through my messages. I text my dad ill be home later and that I'll go to school tomorrow, and then I block him because I don't want to hear his nagging anymore. I text Camry back so I can catch on to whatever lie she told my dad, while I'm texting Camry I feel Tiny get in the bed laying next to me. "You should come with me today" he mumbles grabbing my hand. I don't know tiny my dad is already doing too much. I say hesitantly not knowing how much trouble I would be in if I stayed out longer. "Please I promise I'll take you home before 10" he pleads sticking out his pinky. I turn on my side facing him interlocking our pinkies together. Where are we gonna go I ask him while playing in his braids. "We can go where ever, I just wanna spend time with you." he expresses while looking into my eyes. Ahhhh you like meeee. I poke and tease him making me both laugh, we shortly got interrupted by Tiny's phone going off. "We need to go link with skreamer rq then we can go somewhere."
Me and Tiny leave his yard and start walking. The walk wasn't long it was like 4 streets down. We get closer and I see Dots and Twosie standing there looking stupid as usual. I say hi to them and proceed to get on my phone. Five minutes go by and skreamer still isn't here. Where the fuck are they I say getting agitated, before anyone could reply tazer and skreamer walk in our direction. "Wagwan, why are you so happy?" Tiny asks dapping them up. "What up, bro? Look, what's going on? Why are we here? Twosie mutters waving his blunt around. Skreamer and Tazer look at each other and laugh leaving us confused. Hurry up bro, what's with the silent shit I stank face them. They look at each other one more time before Tazer's eyes Turn yellow and he disappears. I was speechless as fuck, so many questions were running through my mind and I needed answers but I couldn't focus with Twosie yelling in my ear "What the fuck is in this weed bro"
They were bombarding Tazer with questions and I was just zoned out looking at the ground. Tazer I have a question I sigh looking up from the floor. "How many questions you gon ask, bro" skreamer complains. Just one man I suck my teeth at him even though this was my first question. Why didn't you use your ability the night Chucky stabbed you I say kinda hesitantly. "I tried I couldn't control it but I can now". I nod my head thinking about how I would have to tell someone soon "If Chucky dies- it's one nil to us," Tazer says cutting Tiny off. "Nah that's standard but I was gonna say that's a free kill, feds can't Nick a ghost" Tiny lightly laughs getting a nudge from Tazer. "Ay listen though with Chucky gone now, them tilbury kats ain't got nobody feeding them" "Bro, this phone has been blowing off, Them men are starving out there" Dots boasted waving the small phone around. "That's why we need to jump on that" Tazer goes into thought. "Ohh, brudda ain't moving food on the opps block risky" Twosie tries to reason. "Kraze did it supplied our block and theirs" "That's Kraze though" Dots adds. "Kraze is just a guy tazers a ghost," Tiny says a little too geeked. "I hear that, but youse lot ain't exactly trappers of the year, so..." Dots points out "That's why we got you though, no? You can teach the mandem how to pattern."
"Say no more. My guy only does bits though, so we're gonna need proper weight if we're gonna do this thing right."
"Tiny, your cousin still shot for Masher?" tiny nods his head. "Bell him up and tell him we want a box" "A box? A whole one?" "yea do we have to right it down for you" skreamer Butts in. Tiny sighs telling them that he would call him a little bit later.
I sigh getting impatient I just wanted to go. Tiny I don't think I should be hearing this can we go, please I Mumble so only he can hear. "Me and Iris about to go, Ima catch ym later" "Let me come with ym" Twosie insists wrapping his arms around me and tiny. Come on then I instruct not feeling like protesting. I walk in front leaving them behind me, we go to get some food and I smoke a blunt with Twosie. It was now 8 pm and it was getting dark. We were walking Twosie to his house and he was on the phone with skreamer. "he's saying it's cool, we can use his stepdad's car" Twosie says over the phone. Wait you have a stepdad, and that's his car, not yours? I laugh still being a little high. "He's not my stepdad" Tiny smacked his lips making me almost fall down the stairs while laughing. "Isn't he giving your mum the most severe backshots of all time? I'm pretty sure he's your stepdad." I bust out laughing even harder holding my stomach. "Excuse me" some man come out from the shadows making me damn near jump out of my shoes. "Who the fuck are you, what do you want cuz" Twosie got in the man's face kinda scaring him. "That's that delivery driver from the other day" Tiny points out leaving me confused. "Yeah, look I didn't mean to scare you" The man looked like he was stressed and scared I felt bad "Aint nobody scared of you, you're a delivery driver blud" Twosie stop being so damn rude I hiss slapping the back of his head and making him hold the back of his head. I ain't see no parcels here, so what the fuck are you doing around here? Twosie scans the area not seeing his delivery van.
"I just wanted to know if it was cool if I could speak to you and Tazer" he answers Turning his attention towards me. Twosie looks around before pulling out his knife and rushing the dude into the wall. "You got a problem with Tazer" The man starts trying to explain himself but Twosie keeps interrupting him. I stand there silent kinda scared I've never seen anyone get a knife pulled on them. He looks at Tiny for confirmation but Tiny looks at how scared I am and shakes his head. "Lowe it" "What do you want to speak with her and Tazer about" Tiny glances at the man pulling me closer. "It's kinda private" he tried to reason with us. I sigh walking up to the man holding my hand out and gesturing toward his phone. He gives me his phone and I put my number in. Just let me know where you want to talk and I'll be there okay, be safe sir. I hand him his phone back gaining a smile from him. I give him a smile before turning around to Tiny giving me a look I couldn't read. The rest of the way to Twosies all Twosie did was complain about me giving that man my number. We take Twosie home and head back to Tinys. "I got you and Uber it's pulling up right now" I notice a change in his voice and I didn't like it. I thought you were taking me home I say kinda feeling sad at the way he was treating me right now. "I can't tonight" he mumbles. "Tiny what is your problem right now? I look him in his eyes and he looks away. "Iris I don't think we can continue to see each other" admits avoiding eye contact with me. What are you talking about, my voice started to get shaky after every word. "I don't want my lifestyle to put you in danger, seeing your reaction when Twosie pulled out that knife it just didn't sit right with me" "So I think we should just leave each other alone" he advise not even looking at me in my face. I take a deep breath and walk out to my Uber. It hurt to hear him say that. But there wasn't much I could do. I put my air pods in and listen to Frank Ocean the whole ride. I sneak back into my house through my bedroom window and lay on my rug just staring at the wall slowly falling asleep.
