My brother ain’t serious still. Nah man, he needs to come off that now. How can he expect ME to look after it for him? Let me just tell him now before he gets any more ideas.
“Look Jordan, I love you and all but I can’t do it” I said
“Come on man just do it. I mean I only need you to do this one favour, please man” he pleaded
I really don’t know what to do. That side of the family business has always been left to him and I knew my mum would not be happy if she knew that I was involved.
“Alright then! Hurry up and give it to me before I change my mind!”I said kissing my teeth.
“Thanks sis, you’re a G!” he said as he handed me the bag filled with white powder.
I couldn’t believe I even let him talk me into doing this. Wait till I tell Chanel this. Chanel was my ko-dee from time, we’d known each other since tots and we had been tight ever since. I knew if I told this chiik about it she will come up with some mad idea.
“Wagwun Chanel I have something to tell you”
“Kool, tell me then. I’m all ears”
“Well, come over and I’ll tell you innit”
“Fine, fine then. I’ll see you in 10”
“Bye”
“Bye”
Even as I was calling her I kind of knew that I was making the wrong decision. Oh well, Live now pay later. Just then my brother popped into my room.
“Hey Cherise , I hope you know that you’re not meant to take any of it”
“Oh, yeah course! Like I would even want to try it anyway”
“Good, good. I’m just letting you know innit. Anyway laters”
“Yeah laters”
I couldn’t wait for him to get out of the house! He didn’t need to see Chanel coming into the house because I knew that he would clock what we were gonna do. All I had to do now was wait for Chanel to come.
“Finally man. Where you been?”
“Sorry I had to do something for my mum you know how it is”
“Yeah, whatever. Look about this secret I want to show you. Don’t tell anyone though promise”
“You know I won’t tell no-one but what is it?”
“Ok follow me” I whispered as I tip toed to my drawer. Even though I knew my brother was out of the house, I didn’t want to bait it out and my mum was downstairs.Slowly I took out the small bag and handed it to Chanel.
“Don’t tell me! How d’ya get this though”
“My brother duh?”
“Oh yeah so it don’t matter if you take some does it?”
See, this is exactly what I meant, Chanel just had to go a step further.
“He does, he actually told me not to take any of the stuff” I pouted
“Who cares what he said, I mean he doesn’t need to know,right?”
“Alright, but just a bit ok?”
“Yeah yeah whatever man”
With that we each took a pinch of the white powder. I think it was cocaine but all I knew was that those next ten minutes were the happiest moments of my life. Suddenly though I woke up and I saw a face looming over me...
