It was 5 in the morning and I pulled up to Chris house.
I rushed to his door and banged on it several times until I heard the door unlocking.
"who the hell is it banging on my door like they the mu'fuckin police or something?" Chris said opening the door.
he looked at me in surprise.
"August what the hell are you doing here?" he asked.
I shook my head, "I can't do this alone."
"do what alone?" he asked.
he gave off a funny look, "man if you done caught some feelings on some gay shit, I don't wanna hear it. I rather you stay away from me." he said beginning to close the door but my foot stopped it.
I pushed through and sat on the couch, "they took Nicki."
he closed the door, "who?"
"SB and he got some others working with him. whole time I'm thinking this is going to be an easy out but he got a whole gang planning to take me and my family out." I said shaking my head.
I couldn't even pick my head up and look my mans in the eyes.
plus I haven't been to sleep in 4days and I am very tired.
"you lying." he said sitting infront of me.
I shrugged, "would I be here right now at 5 in the fucking morning with bloodshot eyes, telling you this?" I questioned.
he jumped, "my fault fam but–"
"who was it babe." karrueche said walking into the living room wearing a rob and rubbing her eyes.
I looked at her then back down.
"it's August babe, go back to bed." Chris said getting up walking over to her.
she yawned, "wait babe, hey August."
"hey." I said lowly.
"are you okay, how's nicki?" she asked.
"I'm maintaining, she's–"
"alright babe go back to bed, I'll be there in a minute." he said trying to get rid of her.
"I actually came down here for some thing to drink babe, stop pushing me, what are you rushing me for?" she questioned.
"alright babe, get something to drink, I'll be right here and when I'm all down, I'll be back in bed with your beautiful self." he said.
she left and he sat back down.
"I can't leave you hanging man, and I won't. I know if something like this happened to me, you'd be there from the jump, we gon gather up a few folks and get this taken care of, you go and get some rest, nicki will be here in no time." he said.
"if she's here."I mumbled.
"what?" Chris questioned.
I covered my face and ran my fingers through my hair roughly.
"we would still do this for her if she wasn't, just have hope though." he said patting my shoulder as he gotten up.
I got up and walked out.
maybe this has always been a one man job.
