No. 99 (Joey Bada$$)

54• What Do You Want From Me?

I sat on Joey's lap as Aliyah started talking to Kwon.

"I missed you!" I sang.

"Bitch its been like a day or something. You just missed talking to someone that loves you like I do." He made a duck face.

"Plenty of people love me. No one loves me like my lovely brother so don't start feelin' yo self." I corrected him.

"Damn. Couldn't have let me have it?"

"Nope." I played with his hair and guess who the fuck showed up...TT and Indigo.

"Good morning everyone!" TT said as she snatched a microphone from Kirk's hand.

"Bitch, don't snatch shit from my hands no mo. Tired of you acting like you run shit bitch. Only shit you run-" Kirk got interrupted by Indigo.

"Morning!" Indigo said while snatching a mic from some kid. "Ladies and gentlemen can we please have your undivided attention, please? There is something you all really need to know."

I got off Joey's lap and sat next to him.

"What the fuck do you want!?" Kwon yelled.

"Please. No rude comments." Indigo said as she wiped a tear from her eye. "It's really important."

I rolled my eyes. "Just say it already!"

"Jo-Vaughn Scott is a murderer!!!" She said.

I laughed.

"Child we don't have time for these false accusations!" I said as I got up to snatch the mic out her hands like she did that kid but she moved it out of my reach. "I'm serious. Sit down please? I'm begging you!"

I huffed and sat back down.

If she's begging me then it might be something important don't you think? This broad has put me through so much and she's...begging me...let me sit back and see what she has to say.

"You guys remember my sister Brianna right, and Capital Steez?"

"Yeah." The crowd said.

"Joey was the last person that spoke to them. May their souls rest in peace." She wiped her tears as TT comforted her. "H-He texted B before she committed suicide and told her I don't love you anymore, just go kill yourself cuz your momma don't love you either, your dad is a deadbeat. What are you even here for? Your wasting both of our time."

I looked at Joey with my jaw open. "What is she talking about? Indigo where is your proof?"

"I have proof. Screenshots of the messages." She held her phone up. The crowed started talking.

Aliyah came over here and whispered in my ear. "Where is Joey?"

"On my right."

"Ohhh!" She said not making our convo obvious "What the hell is she talking about?"

"I don't even know."

"That's not all. He brainwashed Steez." TT said "He told him that if he killed himself he was going to become a true pro."

Joey stood up. "This is all a lie, you gotta try a little harder than that if you want me to go straight to hell."

"Leslie." Indigo started, tears were streaming down her face. "Your new boyfriend is a murderer. You're such a pretty girl, don't let him bring you down with him."

"Leslie don't believe the shit that's coming out her mouth. She just wants attention." Joey said loud enough for everyone to hear. "I didn't even talk to Brianna. I tried to talk Steez out. You photo shopped that shit, Indi!" He held his phone up.

"Bullshit! Who's side are you on?! Mine or his?" She said. TT gave her a tissue and she blew her nose.

"Leslie I'm not lying! You have to believe me! Why would I do that to two people I cared about!? Two people I loved! Two people that were apart of my family! It tore me apart when they died!" He was holding back my tears. "Indigo and TT are lying! This is all bullshit they're saying. I could never live with myself if I told someone to take their own life!"

"But here you are! Standing before us claiming that you didn't do it!" TT growled.

"Shut the fuck up!!!! Leslie PLEASE!?" He said through a cry.

"I-I-I don't know! I don't know what's happening!! I'm not choosing anyone's side. I didn't know them to say anything." I felt tears form in my eyes "I don't see Joey telling anyone to do that but at the same time Indigo and TT are liars and are being really...I don't know...soft I guess. Joey I really want to back you up but my words aren't valid."

Kwon rushed over to Aliyah and I. "Why don't you two go home and let us handle this okay?" He whispered "Joey will be fine. I just need you to go, I don't want all this pressure on you again."

I nodded my head and we went back home.
