Jhene POV

"You ready?" I asked Nami.

She nodded. She was in for a few days. August skipped school everyday to be there. Chris was going to but i told him it was fine and that i appreciated it anyway.

My mom didn't press charges on me. And Eric was locked up awaiting trial. Nami seemed fine but i knew she was buggin. We got in the car after getting her discharged.

I took her to her mother Nieyma's house. She didn't seem thrilled. But she hasn't said much since the incident. When i pulled up to the house we got out the car. I walked her up the driveway.

"Don't make me go in there." She whispered. I gave her a look a look of confusion, but i lead her back down the driveway. Last time we didn't move quick enough sht went south.

I got back in the car driving off. I waited a few minutes before i spoke. "Nami what's going on." She didn't look at me. "Namiko Aiko what the hell is going on!?"

"They hit me..." She whispered.

"What in the hell?" I was two seconds from making a u-turn. "Who?"

"James..."

"Namiko if you don't stop whispering and speak up!"

"James!" She half yelled.

"Awww hell nah. How long?"

"Since i was 6"

I was so mad I punched my steering wheel. "Goddammit Nami!! Why you aint say sht?!"

I dialed August's number. It rang through the car because of the aux cord.

"Who are you calling?"

"Don't-"

"Hello?" He answered

"Augie!" She yelled

"Hey pun'kin"

"Namiko, hush!" I was too pissed off right now for that. "August!"

"Wassuh baybeh?"

"I'm going to jail."

"What happened?"

"Why don't you tell August what the fuck has been going on at your house? All the sht that you aint been telling nobody?" I asked Nami. She shook her head vigorously.

"What's going on?"

"Tell him Nami!"

Her voice shook. "James... he hit me..." She whispered. She was scared shitless. And she should be. August went to jail cause he thought James was hitting her. There was no proof either. And Nami kept her mouth shut. So I'm pissed.

"Nami he can't hear you!!"

"J stop yellin' at ha'. Baybeh, you know you can talk to Uncle August. What's going on?"

"I don't wanna talk about it..."

I cut my eyes at her, but she didn't look at me. Smart girl.

"Ok pun'kin. J what happened?"

"He's hitting her."

There was a pause. Yep he's pissed.

"Gimme 5 minutes. I'm around the corner. Meet me there."

"Already made my u-turn." I said hanging up.

"I'm sorry..." She said looking out the window.

"You're apologizing to the wrong person."

"Than who do i say sorry to?"

"Think about it."

"Augie?"

"Bingo."

Just then my phone started ringing.

"Answer that." She answered it putting it to her eat

"Hello. I'm fine. No... She's driving. Uhh... I think so. Ok." I watched her put the phone on speaker. "Ok you're on."

"Hey J" I heard Chrisieanna's voice drift through the car.

I sighed. "Hey boo."

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing me and your boyfriend bout to go who bang on somebody."

"He's not my boyfriend"

"Whatever"

"And who did it now? Txt me the address I'm on my way. Should i bring Chris? Yea I'll bring him. Txt me. I got my brass knuckles." She said and hung up.

I couldn't help but laugh no matter how mad I was. I txt her Nieyma's address.

"She talks fast." Nami said playing subway surfers.

I snatched the phone from her.

"Noooooo!! You made me lose!"

"Little girl you are still in trouble."

"Ugggghhh" she crossed her arms over her chest and pouted. We pulled up in front of the house and were the last ones to arrive apparently.

"How y'all get here so fast?"

"We literally live right over there" she pointed at a house a few houses down.

"Nami stay yo ass in da car." August told her. "Lock them doors."

She did as she was told as the rest of us waked up the drive way. August knocked on the door.

"Who is it?!" I heard James yell.

"Nigga it's yo worst nightmare and then some if you don't open up this damn doo' "

"Aug shut yo punk ass up." He said through the door. Dumb move.

I heard the door unlock.

"The hell you wa-"

SHMACK.
