Loyalty

PROJECT "D"

TRENT'S POV

"Keisha keep it a buck, is it my baby?"

"Really Trent?! Yes it is. I only been with you. I'm not going through this alone."

"I'll be there for the abortion. You gotta bounce though I'm about to knock out."

"Why you gotta be such a asshole Trent! This is your child I'm carrying and you're Really treating me like shit. You're fucked up I don't deserve this."

"Bitch bye. You deserve to get slapped for all the dumb shit you be doing but I don't hit females so get the fuck out."

As Keisha stormed out my room slamming the door I just shook my head. I don't know what I was thinking getting involved with that girl. With her, there's always so damn drama. Now this bitch is pregnant. I know that baby ain't mine and she's stupid as hell if she thinks I believe it is. I know for a fact she was messing with someone else while fucking with me. I'm taking her ass to the clinic this week. I'm not playing no games. I should've listened to my mom. She tried to warn me, everybody tried to warn me. Even though Lakeisha has a bad reputation she was different, she changed.

Since our Sunday dinner this situation with Ava has been heavy on my heart. Devon has been my right hand since elementary school days. It's going to kill me to off him. I've done many wrongs and had no remorse. This situation is stressing me out. A part of me wants to leave this situation in the hands of fate. But, I can't stay quiet. I have to let this nigga know how I feel. If he gets rowdy like I know he will I gotta handle that.
Devon has always been a wild boy since we were youngins. I'm wild too but Devon is on a whole other level. If you look at him wrong you're destined to die, literally. I don't want to go against my homie but I feel some type of way. My younger cousins are like sisters to me. I can't even imagine what I would do if a man ever violated them the way Dev did Ava. And, they're family!

This shit is crazy. I can't stay quiet though and Devon? Nigga can't get away with this.

Moe swung my bedroom door open like there was an emergency, interrupting my thoughts.

"Nigga don't you know how to knock!"

"Shut up cry baby. Seen that nigga Dev yet?"

"Nah. Seems like he's laying low because I haven't heard from him. And I know Devon, he only disappears when he's done something."

"He did the same shit to his own sister. She was texting Ava about it last night. Apparently he's been doing it for a while."

"He's a sick motherfucker!"

I yelled as I hopped out of bed and threw on some black sweats. I'll sleep later I have a lot of shit to do. Above all, I gotta get to this money.

"Yo bro, Ima holla at you later."

DAHNI'S POV

Since Ava got kicked out things have gotten so much worse, for me. Almost every night Devon gets on top of me to relieve himself. Ava has it so easy, if she only knew. I wish my mom would kick Devon out. I hate my "brother." I despise him to no end. My mom should've stopped Dana from kicking Aj out this ain't her house. I feel so sorry for Ava because it wasn't her fault she didn't deserve to be thrown out like that. I sent her a text that night to let her know how sorry I was. I poured my heart out in that text. I didn't get a response from her until 5 days later. That didn't surprise me at all because I expected that. Ava and I didn't have the best relationship. I should've looked out for her while she was living here. We had more in common than I realized. This guilt that I'm feeling for my selfishness and attitude towards her is overwhelming. I cry just thinking about it sometimes.
