Carter 2

IV

"What make you think that?" He asks her "When papi buried mommy was she wearing her necklace?" She asks "Yeah, it's was her favorite he wanted her with it" he tells her not paying attention to her "Why do I have it?" She tells him as she shows it to him, he looks up her his eyes are wide open "How do you have it, she was buried with it on?" He questions as he takes it from examining it for himself "She gave it to me when I met her in my dream she was so beautiful" she tells him as her tears begin to form in her eyes & he stands up slowly "It's ok she don't want you crying so stop it" he says as he hugs her tightly.

"It's my fault she's gone, if she wouldn't have had she would still be here it's my fault" she says as she drops her head down.

"Yo, stop saying that it's not yo fault Onika, ma would've given her life for ether of us, she would rather see you be in this world then to loose you. I remember when she had you" he tells her as he sits on the edge of his bed & she sits down on his computer chair "It was right after she gave her final push I had snuck in to see what was going on. I had heard you crying & she smiled but she looked so tired but she smiled she said That's my baby girl..." He stops as his memories begin to make him emotional.

Onika is in tears, she leans over & she hugs her brother "It's OK" she says to him "I miss her so much, that was my number 1 lady. I felt so lost when she left honestly I still never could get over the fact that she isn't here anymore but I guess I have to come to terms that she is our angel now.

Trust that, ma is the main reason why that nigga hurt like he wanted too she made sure that nothing would happen to us" he tells her as he wipes the tears from his eyes, he looks at his baby sister who is a spilling imagine of the woman he loved the most.

"I don't think shes really gone, Carter I think she is trying to tell me something I just don't know what it is yet" she says as she looks her mother's necklace.

......

Carter is watching the pot as its cooking his deep fried chicken he thinking as he is deep in thought he doesn't see his cell phone ringing he snaps outta of it, he answers the call.

"Talk to me" he says "Boss we got some shit on August "Ok what you got for me?" He asks "This dude has been watching your every move, he has a pictures of you, the kids & Onika it's some sick shit I don't know what this nigga got going on in his head but he got some serious issues" as Carter listens to him someone knocks on his door & his maid goes go answer it, she comes back with a box "Mr. Perez this is came for you" she places the box on the table as she attends to the stove "Ok, come back & show me I wanna see" he says as he hangs up the phone he looks at the box he grabs a knife he opens it.

He sees its a bunch of pictures of Onika, as he looks at all the pictures he begins to see picture of his children some of them are taken in his home.

His stomach begins to turn as he looks at more picture, he throws the box on the floor knocking over all of the pictures but on the back of each picture is a bigger picture as he kneels down he turns then over.

He can't understand what it's trying to making out but he begins to put all the pictures together when he hears Onika coming downstairs, he takes all of the pictures throwing them all in the closet, she walks into the kitchen, "Papi what are you doing?" she asks as she holding her nose "Nothing, what's wrong with your nose does it hurt still?" he asks trying to change the topic.

"A little bit, but is dinner almost done?" she questions she walks over to the closet he stops her "Yes, can you set the table please I'ma go get your brother" he walks outta the kitchen as she begins to set the table he knocks on the door "Come in" Carter walks in "Dinner is done you gonna come down to eat?" He asks "I guess" he doesn't even look at his father Carter takes his phone outta his hands "You gonna stop this bullshit attitude you got I don't understand why the fuck you acting like you hard... Listen to me before I end up having to buried another person who means the world to me... I know your still not over the fact she's gone & I can't myself but in order to become a better person you have to learn to move on do you think your mother wants you acting like this.." He says looking at his first born "Act like what?... I'm acting like myself I always have nothing bout me changed" he says as he tries to get passed him but Carter blocks him.

"You like act like you got the whole world on your shoulders... How do you think I feel.... I run the biggest drug organization in New York City.. I wear a target on my back 24/7, I lost the most important woman in my life the only woman who understood me. I think the only woman who I loved with everything I have, she gave me everything but you can't possibly feel the same way I do.

I understand your still morning the loss of your mother, how the fuck you think I feel... I married that woman, I planned to spend the rest of my life with that woman, she gave me my 2 great kids. You & your sister are the only connects that I have to her, now if you continue to be this way acting like you ain't got no damn sense... These street aren't made for fake niggas who think just because they got some money that they can put up this front like they bout it trust me I know how it is, I was your age don't think you can get passed me wit ya shit.

Your my son, my flesh & blood I be damn I'ma loose you to something fucking stupid so clean up ya fuckin act before I'll having to buy a casket to bury you in" he tells him in a serious tone but he tries hold his emotion inside putting this strong attitude in front of his son.

Lil Carter knows his father will have his back no matter what, he knows his father is emotional when he talks about his mother, he knows how much love his father has for his mother since he was a little baby all Lil Carter can do is take in all words his father just spit to him & he downstairs.
