"Ya boy was kind of rude huh" craig said to me. "He's just not good with meeting new people that's all" I said and he slowly nodded. "I ain't new. I went to school wit that nigga. He remember me." He said. "Well he probably don't damn. You act like you obsessed with him or something" I said. "What" he said as he stared at me. "Nothin" I said. "Thats what the fuck I thought" he said.."ain't no happy family baby girl cause you not leavin me. So whatever feelings you got towards him can go out the window now cause that's dead" he said and I ignored him. "You hear me" he asked. "Yup" I said. We pulled up to my house and I reached for the door handle but he grabbed my arm and I sighed. "I ain't playin Ashanti" he said as he squeezed my arm. "Okay let me go" I said as my eyes watered up. I snatched away from him and slammed the door and walked away. He drove off and I sighed and pushed my hair back and unlocked the door. I walked inside and shut the door then I walked into the living room and seen seaton and koby. "How you get in here" I asked and he laughed. "I use to break in houses too" he said and I nodded and he laid koby on the couch and stood up. "I wanna talk to you. Not argue. I just wanna talk ight" he said. "Yeah" I said. I walked in the kitchen and he followed me and sighed while putting his hands together. "After me and koby left earlier he told me some Shit about yo nigga and how violent he can get sometimes. Why you ain't never tell me he be hittin you. Even if I was in there you know I woulda had somebody handle that for you. Keepin yo mouth closed ain't gone get you no help. Then when I called you always talked to me bout how good of a man he was to you and to my son. Koby told me he threatened him before too. I don't know if you was around when threats was gettin thrown but that don't pop fly wit me. I never in my life put my hands on koby so I a be damned if I let another man do it or even say he gone do it. I never in my life put my hands on you , and from what koby said that Shit been goin on for a minute. I don't like that Shit. And us bein as close as we is you shoulda told me" he said. "I didn't tell you because I know you were gonna have him killed" I said. "So" he said. "Exactly so why would I tell you" I said. "Because dumb ass he beatin yo ass and you lettin that Shit happen when it coulda been handled. I know ant ain't know about that Shit cause he woulda did what I'm about to do. Ashanti I advise you to leave that Shit alone, right now. Cause if it get to the point where I gotta take my son then that's what ima do.cause if he put his hands on my kid y'all gone miss me again cause I'm goin back to jail for mine. And im not just flowin to you I'm speakin facts. And I do what I say I'm gone do. Ima check on you, everyday. And if I see any bruises like that one" he said while lookin at my arm. I put my hand over it and looked at him. "He gone shanti. That nigga is dead" he said and I nodded. "Period" he said. "alright seaton" I yelled. "Maybe if you were out this woulda never happened" I said. "Shut up you sound stupid. Don't blame me. Shit you must like gettin yo ass beat cause you still wit em. It aint my fault so miss me wit that. You didn't tell me Shit so how I was gone know what the fuck was goin on. I never met that nigga. First time meetin him was earlier" he said. "He said you and him went to school together" I said. "We probably did but I don't remember that nigga so oh well. Tellin you he might be gay so soon as my son tell me he tried some funny Shit I'm crackin skulls" he said. "He's not gay" I said. "Yea okay." He said. "And I look better then him. That nigga look like he least 50" he mumbled. "He's 24" I said. "You always lyin.that nigga the same age as my dad" he said and I laughed and he did too. "Nah foreal. I want you to listen to me Ashanti cause you know I meant everything I said." He said. "I know" I said and he pulled me into a hug and kisses my forehead. "Ima do a background check on the boy. He a batty bwoy Mon" he said in his Jamaican accent making me laugh. "Okay dude" I said and he let me go. "I'm bout to leave though" he said and I nodded. "You ight" he asked. "I'm good" I said and he nodded and walked away. We walked out the kitchen and he picked koby up and held him as he slept in his arms. He walked towards the door and opened it.."love you" he said. "Love you" I said and he walked out and closed the door.
