Take My Heart (Sequel to The Wrong Love)

25: Loved Ones

Daijah
After the blow up with Ceasia I went to go pick up Aleeyah.
"Hey girly."
"Hey." She was kinda off.
"What's up Aleeyah?"
"Nothing."
"I'm not stupid. And I'm not moving this car until you tell me what's the problem."
"Nothing Daijah." She looked up at me with tears in her eyes.
"What the hell? Did he do that?"
"No, I fell."
"On his fist? Oh hell nah. Me and that little nigga bout to have a talk." I started to unbuckle my seat belt.
"Daijah please don't."
"Your saving him now? No Aleeyah. We not about to play them games." I got out and wobbled my ass up to the door, while dialing Cameron.
"Can I help you?" The dark skinned guy towered over me. His broad shoulder and deep voice were intimidating but I wouldnt let it show.
"Is Ben here?"
"Yea. Hold on." He closed the door then seconds later the same boy opened the door.
"He's busy."
"Busy my ass. Move out the way." I went into the room where I could hear Madden.
"Yo Ben. Lemme holla at you for a minute."
"How the hell you get in here? What fuck you want?" He stood up and was at least a foot taller than me.
I can still take his ass. Pregnant and all.
"Who the hell you think you talking to? What thebfuck is wrong with you to where you think you can go around hitting females?"
"Man get the fuck outta here with yo little ass." He sat back down in the bean bag. I reached in my bag and grabbed the glock I had there then hit him with the butt. He groaned out in pain while holding the side of his face.
"Don't feel so good do it?! Hit her again and imma stick a air pump up yo ass." He looked at me and rose his hand before he stopped, looking at the door.
"So you fucking call her on me? You think she can save yo ass."
"Ben, I told her not to. I didn-" He pushed past me and made his way over to her, pushing her into the hallway, making her hit the wall.
"Bitch don't learn do you!?" He yelled at her before pushing him off her.
"Get yo ass!" He pushed me off before slinging her onto the floor.
"Ben! I'm sorry!" She tried to crawl away and I tried to distract him.
Where the hell is he?
He slapped me off but froze up when he heard a click.
"Yo homeboy, I don't know who the fuck you think you is but back the hell up off my little sister or you going to hell." Capo spoke calmly.
"You got yo whole little family on me huh?" He looked down at her.
"Ben I sw-"
"Shut the fuc-" He hit the floor and I watched the pool of blood form below him.
"No! No! No!" She crawled over to his body.
"What you mean no? He beating you and shit. Aleeyah get yo stupid ass in the car!" She cried and got up.
"Thanks." The man from before smiled.
"Sure." I got in the car and went to go pick up Lric from daycare.
"Hey baby."
"Hey mommy." She got in the backseat and played with her tablet while I drove us to Capo's house. I walked in and the air was thick.
"Capo?"
"Yea?" He yelled from his bedroom. Lyric ran to her room while I sat and had a talk.
"Where is Aleeyah?"
"In her room. Grounded."
"Now that's petty. Shes seventeen."
"If Lyric did some shit like that you know yo foot would be so damn deep in her ass."
"True but did you at least talk to her? Ask her why she didn't tell anyone?"
"I aint bout to talk to her cause her mouth bad. Imma wait it out."
"Waiting it out is gonna make the tension rise."
"You talk to her then."
"She's not my responsibility Capo."
"She's not mine either." He flipped the channel. I grabbed the remote and turned off the TV.
"I was watchin-"
"Shut up. You go in there and talk to her because if it was Lyric you would be crying yo little heart out." I grabbed his ear, taking him to her room.
"Aye look, you not my momma. Don't be grabbing on me like that."
"Imma grab on you another way and see if you have kids again." I pushed him before walking back into his room. I took a seat on the bed and looked at myself in the mirror.
"Lord help me cause I'm confused." I spoke to myself.
