"I'm bout to go pay these repair bills." Raheem scoffed , walking out the door .
"Aight." I replied just as the door slammed . I walked to his side of the house , going up to his room.
"Cici.." I said . She was still asleep.
"Cici.." I nudged her and she woke up . "Get up , imma take you home."
She frowned . "But Raheem said--" I cut her off .
"Don't worry 'bout what he said. Ya need ta go home one day. He can't just keep ya here away from your family like this." I said all while I collected her stuff .
I didn't want her to go and I wasn't pushing her out but I didn't want Raheem to feel as though he has so much say in her life. He acts like her father , which he isn't.
She got up finally and went to the bathroom . I finished packing most of her stuff . After a while , I guess of freshening up , she came back out. "Okay I guess im ready." She mumbled , throwing her bags on her shoulder .
"Angelface it's nothin' against chu , my word. Raheem just gets crazy and don't think sometimes." I assured her , she nodded.
"But what if they come back? And hurt me again?"
"They won't . I promise. Don't worry bout allat because we always got chu and do big bruddas play?" I playfully smirked , holding out my arms .
She smiled . "Hell naw." I frowned. She rolled her eyes , folding her arms. "Watch my mouth, I know I know."
"Come on luh girl." I scoffed , walking downstairs .

"Cici.." Monica gasped as she pulled her into a hug . I heard her sniffle as she rocked them both. Every time she would come to the house to try to see Cici , Raheem would either just slam the door in her face or plainly ignore her .
"Thanks Marek."
"You good." I shrugged , having my hands in my pockets . "Listen Moni , anything Heem has said to ya , don't take it personal." I told her truthfully .
Cici had went into the house by now. "Why shouldn't I?" She asked.
"Trust me , don't. Just let 'em explain." She perked her lips . "He really like you." I added .
She scoffed. "That jackass don't like me or anybody. Fuck him, I don't care." She shrugged . She looked inside . "Just..thanks again." She said walking in.
"Just keep an eye onna'." I started walking away , taking a deep breath from letting memories of this building stumble me.

I tied up my timbs as Raheem went haywire looking around the house . I knew what he was looking for but I was currently getting ready to go to the club and see Akeelah .
"Fuck is Cici?"
"At her home." I stated nonchalantly , standing up. I dusted my shirt down , looking at the wall mirror .
"Fuck you mean? Ya let Monica get'a ? What the fuck brah!" He yelled. I clenched my jaw, turning towards him .
"No I took'a my damn self. She ain't no animal or your damn child , ya can't just keep her hea." I spat . He turned towards me , eyeing me up and downward.
