Thug Passion (UNDER CONSTRUCTION!!!!)

Chapter 3

In the middle of me packing, his phone went off. AHAHA! I was finna get EVERYTHING I needed. I dashed over to his phone and froze. What that message said struck a nerve. It all made sense now.

Text: uhhhh, look. Yo moms is doing okay but your sister ....

I was in shock. I didn't even know what was going on behind closed doors and I was the one closing the doors every night. I swear, every time I try to leave something pulls me back and I feel trapped again. 😤😓😩

I ran downstairs with his phone in my hand and just embraced him. By the look on his face, he already knew what happened. Tears started forming and I just held him closer.
Text: her heart rate is dropping! HURRY TF UP!!!
BRO WHERE TF YOU AT?!
I passed him his phone and let him read the messages. I could feel his heart break as he read the messages scrolling across the top of his phone. "I can't do this right now Dee. I'm out", and with that, he got up and left the house with only his keys in his hand.

Later that night
Deedra's P.O.V.

"Baby, why yeen ever tell me?"
"Cause it's MY family. I'm a man and I can handle it alone. Plus that feelings shit weak!"
Is this man crazy? He just lost his sister (that I never knew about) and he still has the balls to tell me "he got it"? Okay.
"Look, baby. I know you're trying to protect your pride and shit but c'mon, I'm here for you; always have, always will be. Is this why you've been gone & distant a lot?"
He just looked and started tearing up.
"Can you just gimme my phone?"
"Can you talk to me first?"
"No. Gimme my damn phone. I thought you was 'over me' anyway."
No he didn't; I felt like i'd been slapped but I kept it together. I inhaled heavily and spoke again.
"Look, I'm tryna be here for you. Ride-Or-Die, remember?" I held out my ring finger, showing off the handcuff ring that matched his to a T. "I ride for you, cry for you, lie, die, and most importantly, be there for you."
He started to caress my ring as the tears fell. By the look hidden in his eyes, I knew what was to be done and I was ready.
