my best friend

chapter 2

MARIO

"True we going to call a meeting tomorrow at ten. And plan a hood clean up. Just because we sell that poison don't mean we can't have a heart for the youth. I do want to get me a football and basketball team together like how we played in" said Javon.

So I have about four hours to get ready for my night out with Javon. I don't know what he have plan for me. Javon must thank I'm dumb I know what he do outside of work. The streets talk. I'm just waiting for him to come out and tell me. I've known since we were in middle school. He must forget even though I don't speak on a lot of things I still notice shit. But, as long as he and my twin is safe then that's all that matters. I would go crazy if anything would to happen to them. Yes Mario is my twin. I'm older by two minutes. But you can't tell him that. Let me text my bro haven't talk to him today.

Lah: Wyd

Mar: Just left the job. Is everything okay?

Lah: Yeah I'm good. I'm cooking dinner Sunday

Mar: Okay I'll make sure I am home for it

Lah: Yes I miss your ugly ass. You always at work

Mar: True. So what you doing today?

Lah: Javon asked me to hang out with him tonight. And since I haven't chill with my best friend since he got with that Sam girl I said yes.

Mar: Damn you really don't like that girl do you

Lah: No I don't but I'm going to be cool about it but the first time she cross him I'm going to beat that bitch ass.

Mar: Lol you crazy but look I'll call you tomorrow.

Lah: Okay

Mario knows how I feel about Javon since he is my brother and we don't hide anything from each other. It's just the two of us our parents died when we was ten. We was living with our grandparent's until Mario walked in on my grandfather trying to rape me and that was five years ago. Ever since then we have been living on our own. Yes we finish school. He got one of his hoes to pretend to be our parent so they won't think anything up and to get us a place. We had the money from when our parents died together we had enough to live off until we was old enough to get a nine to five. It's not like our grandparents was going to say anything about us running away because they don't want to go to jail. So as long as we keep our distance from each other than everything's fine. Guess I'll get ready for this night. Times like this I wish I had a female friend to talk to. But they can't be trusted. I learned that a few years ago with this bitch name Kim. We knew each other for 4 years. She was dating my brother and also knows how I felt about Javon. Doing our tenth grade year she started to change. It's like I didn't know who she was anymore. She crossed the line when she cheated on my brother and got mad with me all because I wouldn't help her lie to him. Like really why I would do that. I am my brothers and best friend keeper. I'll do anything for those two. So since I won't help her lie to Mario so he won't break up with her she thought it was okay to tell the school about my past. So you know I had to put that bitch in her place. And ever since then I can't trust females. If you not Mario and Javon then I'm not letting you in my circle. I don't even trust their girlfriends just when I start to trust them and think their good enough for those two, they prove me wrong. Until Sam can prove to me that she is a ride or die for Javon, I will not trust her.

MARIO

Man, Javon and Lah are really bugging. They liked each other since we were in the sixth grade. But, neither one would tell the other. But yet they both tell me how they feel. I'm just about to play match maker shit. I got a life too. Oh let me tell you about your boy. I'm also 19 years old and Akeelah twin. Javon been my day one nigga since we was four years old. We do everything together he's the brains and I'm the muscle. My Circle only has me, him and Lah. I don't trust any female since that bitch Kim did your boy wrong. I'm glad Lah beat that ass. I was in love with that bitch would have given her the world. But she just couldn't be my ride or die. She was a snake. And hurt my sister in the worse way possible when she told the school about her terrible past. Ever since I walked in on what my grandfather was doing I promise Lah I would never let anything or anyone hurt her again. And that's a promise I still make until this day. She all the family I have left besides Javon. Since I can't trust a female my thing is fuck them and move on. Guess tonight since Lah will be out with Javon tonight I'm going to call one of my hoes over. A nigga can go for some head right now.
