Ima Hold You Down

Chapter 25 - Weak

- Denzel's Pov

After Dante's wedding and after all that bullshit with Angelo's crew i began cocaine. At first i was buying it from this mexican , then i just took it from the trap house. When i started it was only cause i wanted to feel different , and escape weed was no longer giving me that effect. Cocaine did and i was happy with it. Cocaine wouldn't have been an option a year ago but Asia started tripping on me i asked her what was wrong with her. She'd simply reply live a little. Asia was a wild child all of a sudden living life freelily , i was in a way jealous. Until she showed me what gave her this freedom. - aint it so much better than bein with yo boys . - how you like this life baby? - we aint even gotta see them anymore baby , we set up. - feelin good baby? Asia use to tell me all kinds of things. If it wasn't for Dante i'd still be addicted. This rehab is changing me. Disappointment is the only thing i feel for myself , i never could say no.

"You got visotors" the lady who keeps up with my room told me. I was shocked who would come see me. I went into the visiting room and saw Aaron.

A - How they treatin you ?

D - Good , rather it be this than jail

A - Me too

D - What made you wanna come see me ? you should hate me

A - We been  boys for how long ?

D - too long

A - I can't give up on you just yet

D - Thanks bro

A - Anything for family

Aaron told me how things were at home , how Raheem & King are mad and dissapointed. I understand i just wish i could take it back life wasnt supposed to be like this..

"You got some ?" I asked this chubby black man i know that sells what I need. "Whatchu got for me" he asked. I started pulling out money but he shook his head leaving me confused. "You look good" he said eyes gazing over my body. Crack has me so addicted , that i honestly dont care about giving my body away as long as i get what i need. "Come with me , and i give you whatchu need" he said heading over to his car. I went with him not thinking twice.

"Damn " he moaned out before taking his last stroke. Pulling out he let himself free on my stomach. In exchange for my body he gave me what I needed. Cocaine. Rushing to Denzel's townhome , to do this. It hit me how Denzel was in rehab , it gets boring doing this by myself. But whatever. I parked behind this black charger. On the porchstep stood Lala , Bre , Drea & Arie. I sighed "What the hell ya'll want" i said tryna move past them . "Are old friend would be nice" Arie said. I started to think about me and her being bestfriends and all the things we've done together but then the thought of being high hit me and my mindset changed. 'Well she's gone" i said . Arie looked shocked , but then she grew angry. She grabbed by my shirt , we were face to face and she semi yelled "Your gonna leave us for some fucking drugs" . "Get out your feelings , you got enough friends shit let me do me" i said annoyed I got out of her hold and began getting annoyed that i wasnt getting high right now. "When did you become such a bitch" Bre said shaking her head. "When'd you become ms. perfect huh ? must be nice being perfect" i said.  "Aint nobody sayin they perfect but i aint throwing away my life and making the only person who actually gave a fuck a death sentence" she yelled. "Yeah Yeah , can ya'll leave" i said bored. "She aint tryna help herself so im not gonna try either"  Lala said walking to Bre's car. Drea left to , then Bre. "I hope you realize what your doing" Arie said before leaving as well.

I had just sniffed up my last line when my phone rang. It was an unknown number but i answered anyways. "Hey suga" my mothers voice said through the phone. My eyes widened and i thought about how disapointed on how'd she be if she knew. "Hey mama" i said tryna hide my shock. "When you gonna come visit?" she said. "Uhh i dont know mama im cooking right now can i call back?" i lied. "Oh sure love you" she said disappointed. "Love you to mama" i said before hanging up.

 "What'd she say baby" Tony said with excitement. Tony was her father , but she didn't know. Tony had been away for awhile and I decided to tell a little white lie to my daughter about her father. Little did she know her daddy was fighting for her country. "Uhh , she said she'd call back" I smiled tryna re-assure him. "I cant wait to meet her , I wish It didn't have to be 23 years alter . I missed everything" he said getting sad. It really wasn't Tony's fault , its a fucked up country we live in. The army passed him around different countries so often it was hard for him to keep in contact. My love never dyed for him , I understood everything. I'm just hoping Asia can. Oh sweet Asia , she doesn't sound like mamas baby no more. Hope Denzel's treating her right.
