THE ONLY GIRL

Chapter Thirty-One

ZY POV

I was pulling up at my mama's house. She called me saying Zyland ain't been home in 2 days. I swear this lil girl is going to make me go to jail.

"Hey Bubba Zy", my little sister said coming up to me and hugging me.

"Hey, baby ZoZo. Where mama?"

"In the backyard".

"Hey mama", I said taking a seat beside her.

"Hey Zy".

"What's going on?"

"She snuck out the other night and I ain't seen her since and she turned her location off".

"Where you think she at?"

"I don't know. I've tried calling her lil friends. They act like they don't know where she at. I'm tired ZyMere", she said as she began to cry.

"It's okay mama don't cry", I said rubbing her back.

"I don't understand. I got enough going on with Mama being in the hospital. They're talking bout her cancer getting more aggressive. I've tried to talk to Zyland. I've tried getting her help".

"It's okay mama. Me and the boys gone find her and bring her back home".

"I can't do it Zy. I'm doing the best I can".

"What do you think about her coming to stay with me for a little bit?"

"If you think you can do better than your mama, baby go ahead".

I don't want my little sister getting sent off somewhere because of her behavior. I know if I can't get her straightened out, that's gone be my mama's next step.

After leaving my mama's crib. I pulled up to chat with West and Malik about finding Zyland.

"Yoo", Malik said dabbing me up.

"Wassup with it", West threw his head up.

"Man I need y'all boys to help me find Zyland".

"I just saw Baby Z", Malik said.

Malik has been calling Zyland "Baby Z" since we were kids. Even though she ain't no baby no more.

"Nigga where?" I asked.

"On 84th & George".

"What the fuck is she doing over there?"

84th and George was a neighborhood where the Bloods & crackheads hung out.

"Nigga what were you doing over there?" West asked.

"Coming from one of my hoes' crib", Malik replied.

"Fuck all that. I'm finna go get my fucking sister. Y'all riding or staying?" I said.

"Nigga we riding. What the fuck kinda question is that?"West said.

10 Minutes later

"What crib did you say you saw her at"? I asked Malik.

"That brick one, on the end".

I pulled up outside the house and we got out.

"Can we help y'all?" 2 niggas that were standing outside asked.

"Yeah my lil sister in here", I asked and he started laughing.

Ian got no patience for this shit. I looked back at West and Malik.

"Nigga do it look like we joking?" West said.

"Ain't no girl in here gang", one of 'em said.

"Ian got time for this shit", I said moving past them.

One of them stepped in front of me and grabbed my arm.

I snatched from him and punched him in the jaw. He fell to the ground. The other one reached behind him for his gun.

"Don't even think about it", West said pulling his gun from his hip.

The boy put his hands up.

I went inside and didn't see anybody. I began checking the rooms.

I opened one of the doors and saw Zyland laid up with some nigga , asleep.

I went over to the bed and snatched the covers off of them. They both jumped up.

"Get yo ass up".

"Omg", she rolled her eyes.

The dude reached under the pillow. I pulled my strap off my hip and he put his hands up.

"HURRY THE FUCK UP!", I yelled to her while keeping my eyes on him.

This nigga looks grown asf.

"TODAY ZYLAND!"

"Okay okay", she said grabbing her shoes and leaving the room.

As soon as she left out I took my gun and hit the dude across the face a few times.

"Bitch ass nigga if I ever catch you around my underage sister again. Ima kill you", I said walking out of the room.

"You good gang?" West asked as I came out of the house.

"Yeah let's go", I said getting into my car.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU GIRL?" I yelled at Zyland.

She didn't say anything.

"OH, YOU CAN'T HEAR ME".

"FUCK WAS YOU DOING LAID UP WITH A GROWN ASS MAN"!

"Being quiet ain't helping you nun Baby Z", I heard Malik tell her in the back seat.

"He's not that much older than me", she said.

"Oh yeah? How old is he then Zyland?"

"23", she mumbled under her breath.

"23! YOU 14 CUH", I yelled.

"Don't worry bout it . Let me catch you around him again. Ima kill that nigga".

"Does he know your age ?"

"Yes", she said and I got even angrier.

"Slow down twin", West said sitting in the passenger seat.

"Fuck up, I got this", I said and he threw his hands up.

The more I sat and looked at Zyland's face I got mad. Ima kill this pervert ass nigga.
