Chapter 24

(August)

"Ma.. Ma... Baybeh wake up."

"Where's Neema?"

She asked jumping up out of her sleep.

"She in Nola wit my mama. What's wrong? What was you dreamin bout and why you crying?"

"Hold me please."

I laid down down wrapping my arms around her tight.

"You shaking ma. What's wrong?"

"It was terrible August... They shot me in the head and in the stomach.. I tried to get to you and Neema but they shot me and then they shot my baby.. She was so helpless, crying on the ground and I couldn't help her."

"It was just a dream baybeh, you know I ain't gone let us go out like that."

"It seem so real.. All of us was on the ground and .."

She broke down crying

"Its okay ma. I ain't gone let nothing happen to us."

"You promise?"

"I promise baybeh. Stop crying. What can I do to make you feel better?"

"Just hold me and talk to me."

"What you wanna talk about?"

"How long before we get to Alabama?"

"A little over two hours."

"Oh. Well.. Tell me about my daddy. I never asked nobody specifics about him."

"Like what you wanna know?"

"Whatever you can tell me. How did y'all meet and get so close?"

"He kidnapped me lol."

"What??"

"Lol okay so, the first time I ever saw him in person me and this girl I was fuckin with at the time was fighting this other girl I use to fuck with and her brother in front of one of ya pops businesses.

He broke the fight up..chopped it up with me for a few, you know introduced his self got my name and told me how stupid I looked out there carrying on like that.. He went his way I went mine.

A couple months later, I got pulled over uptown in front of this restaurant. I was riding stupid dumb... I'm talking illegal gun, dope, no license or insurance.. So they pulled me over searched the car of course they handcuffed my ass, well he was coming out the restaurant I was in front of and saw me, he shook his head and went on about his business and my black ass went to jail....

Ion know what it was but I felt shame when he saw me like that, why? I don't know but I felt like I had let my own dam daddy down or some shit.

But anyways they took me to jail,processed me in and all of that. The next morning the charges had been dropped and they let me go.

I thought it was a set up or a joke or something, but I walked out the county and yo pops was sitting out there in front waiting on me.

He made me hop in the car with him. I didn't know what to say... So we drove around til I realized nigga we in fuckin Dallas... Mind you now the only thing he ever said to me the whole way was "do you want something out the store" when he stopped for gas.
