Mj's POV
I was chillin talking to her Q. When my sister and her girl that's not her girl came down the stairs. I ain't gon lie my sis did pretty good on this one I see why she fighting for her.
They came and sat in the living room and we all was just chillin.
"Ight bro i know you ready to smoke, cause im sho ready to roll a fat one" my sister said
"For fucking sho my guye, I need a fatty and I ain't talking bitches right now. I mean that'll be nice but rn I'm talking blunt"
My sis grabbed her tray and starting rolling while ole girl what's her name... Aaliyah was just sitting next to her. My sis finished rolling and sparks the blunt taking a nice drag then hands the blunt to me. I take my hits. Man it feels good to be home.
I take my hits and try to hand the blunt to Aaliyah.
"Ah nah Brodie she don't smoke" J said taking the blunt
"Ah my fault G, very surprised she don't smoke"
"Whatchu tryna say" she asked raising an eyebrow
"Nun you just normally mess with a no good hoodlum glad u got yo shii together" I said laughing as she smacked her lips
We were all chilling and my phone goes off. I grab it as my eyes get big. When J told me about ole girl and her pops I put some of my people on it. And I just got the answers on my phone.
"Ugh J lemme holla at you in the kitchen real quick"
"Can't you see I'm fucking comfortable" she said laying up with Aaliyah
"Nigga.. GETCHO ahh up" I say making both of them up
We walk in the kitchen and I grab two shot glasses and pour two shots of Henney.
"Damn bro what we celebrating" Sh said smiling
"We not, we just gon both need this shot after I tell you what I gotta tell you" Her smile quickly turned into confusion
"Ight G, ima just say it ight. When you told me about shawty and her pops. I put my people on it to figure it out. And um they figure that shii tf out. Turns out Pops and her uncle had sum issues"
*Flash back*
"Aye man what the fuck. I told yo stupid ass to move accordingly but you always got a big fucking head" Said Michael Rivers
"Nigga shut up I do what the hell I wanna do. Let's be clear yo ass would be locked up if it weren't for me"
" Nigga I don't need yo good boy in the day ass, I live this life fucking 24/7! So you better watch that fucking mouth and all that extra bullshit you been doing"
"Nigga you're just mad I fucked Keisha better double check them ugly ahh kids Is yours"
"Aye man wtf you say? Leave my fucking kids out of this shit! That's what's wrong with you I KNOW HOW TO MOVE IN THE STREETS BEING THIS SHII SINCE I WAS 14! YOU DON'T CARE BE MORE WORRIED ABOUT YO FAMILY FINDING OUT SBOUT THIS DOUBLE LIFE LEARNING WHERE CHRISTMAS GIFTS COME FROM!"
"Man FUCK you Mike"
"Nigga fuck you, DAMON"
*End of flashback*
" so basically pops and her unc got into bad her unc did some HELLA fucked up shii. He kept trying pops and was doing weird fucking shii. What ruined it all I really don't know but him and pops got into it and pops shot him dead right in the street. Of course his family found out but they didn't know he was in the streets. They knew pops had did it and assumed he just did the shii for whatever. THATS why her dad don't like us, he tried to get back at pops and it didn't work"
We both just looked at each other and threw the shots back. And I started pouring another.
"Fuck mane what am I supposed to tell her."
"Nigga the truth that her bitch ass daddy is dumb asshole who don't know shii"
"Man you not wrong there" She took the other shot
Jordan's POV
I head back into the living room and sit next to Liyah. She was in the tv while Q was slumped in the chair. She looked at me worried
"You ok? Everything good?"
"Nah not really, let's go talk upstairs Q sleep and I give it about 40mins and my brother gon call up a ho" I said rolling my eyes standing up
"Let me get on yo back" she said smiling at me. Fucking pretty ass
I turned around and she jumped on my back and I took us upstairs. We walk in the room and I have her switch to the front as I sit us down.
"She what's wrong?" She asked as she started rubbing my face and neck
"So I found out why yo pops prolly don't like me and please don't be mad"
"How could I be mad? You've done so much for me" Now looking concerned
"Ight ima just keep it a buck, my pops killed yo uncle and yo people think my dad just randomly shot him in the street when in reality it was a lot more going on"
She freezes and looks at me. Then she brings me into a hug shocking me. She put my head in her chest as she put her hands in my hair. I took this moment to fully embrace her she feels so good.
She pulls me back and I see one tear fall from her eye.
"I'm sorry mamas, I really am if there was something I could do to make this whole situation better I would but I can't control what my pops did in the past and I'm sorry it ended in the life of someone close to yall but please understand we not murders and just go around killing folks for no reason."
"I'm no crying because I'm mad at you, I'm crying because all this bs is over shii neither one of us can control.... Wait Whatchu mean by us?"
"I never in life wanna run you away I know you not officially my girl and shii but you mean a whole fucking lot to me so please don't leave me once I say this... my pops ran the streets slanging everything and making hella money. When he passed all of what he had and was doing went to my brother and me."
I could see on her face she was trying to process everything I told her. She looked me in my eyes.
"So you are a little bit of what everyone was saying...you deal drugs? You're in the streets? And lowkey dangerous?" I think I just broke her heart
"In simple terms yea, but I swear I'm not AS bad as they make it seem. Obviously I have some good in me if I've done all this shii for you"
She just looked at me. Then started putting on her shoes.
"Hey where you going?"
No response
"Liyah come on it's not even bad" I said following her out my bedroom door
"Yall have a good night" she said to Mj and Q as she walked out the door
"You really finna dip over this shii, I thought you were down. WTF. You said you were different from them other mfs! And turns out you just like em" I loudly say as she gets in her car
I watched as she pulled out the driveway.
"FUCK!" I yelled walking back in the house
