🎶I WAS GOOD ON MY OWN THAT'S THE WAY IT WAS, THAT'S THE WAY IT WAS/ YOU WAS GOOD ON THE LOW FOR A FADED FUCK, ON SOME FADED LOVE/ SHIT WHAT THE FUCK YOU COMPLAINING FOR, FEELIN JADED HUH/ USED TO TRIP OFF THE SHIT I WAS KICKIN TO YOU, HAD SOME FUN ON THE RUN THOUGH I GIVE IT YOU BUT BABY/ DONT GET IT TWISTED🎶

MY PHONE WOULDN'T STOP RINGING WHAT THE FUCK???!!! I FELT AROUND THE BED FOR THE PHONE NOT EVEN WANTING TO OPEN MY EYES GRABBING IT FROM UNDER THE PILLOW AND SLIDING THE SCREEN, "WHAT???" I QUESTIONED SHARPLY NOT EVEN KNOWING WHO IT WAS. "WAKE UP BABYGIRL IT'S IMPORTANT" I HEARD MY BROTHER'S VOICE RESPOND, MY EYES POPPED OPEN AND I IMMEDIATELY LEAPED FROM THE BED GIVING MYSELF A HEADACHE. I GRABBED FOR THE FIRST PIECES OF CLOTHES I SAW STRUGGLING TO PUT THEM ON WITHOUT DROPPING THE PHONE, "WHERE YOU AT AND IM ON THE WAY BRODIE WHATS GOOD???" I QUESTIONED IN A SHAKY VOICE WHILE GRABBING MY GUN FROM UNDER THE PILLOW AND LOOKING DOWN IN DISGUST AT JAY STILL SLEEPING PEACEFULLY IN MY BED. FUCK HE STILL DOING HERE??? I THOUGHT BEFORE HEARING "NAH IM STRAIGHT SUH, ITS ABOUT DOM. SHE CAME TO ME ABOUT SOME SHIT I THINK YOU NEED TO HEAR, MEET ME AT THE DINWIDDIE WAFFLEHOUSE FIRST THING SO WE CAN TALK" I FELT RELIEF KNOWING MY BROTHER WAS STRAIGHT, THE IDEA OF SOMETHING HAPPENING TOO HIM SENT ME OVER THE EDGE. "SAY NO MORE BRUH BRUH, I'LL BE THERE AT 8" I REPLIED "THAT'S A HUNNED, SEE YOU THEN BABYGIRL LOVE YOU" HE SAID. I TOLD HIM I LOVE HIM TOO BEFORE HANGING UP THE PHONE, AND STRIPPING BACK DOWN TO MY BIRTHDAY SUIT. TUCKING MY GUN BACK UNDER MY PILLOW I TAPPED JAY ON HIS SHOULDER THEN SHOOK HIM SLIGHTLY WHEN HE DIDN'T RESPOND, I HATE WAKING PEOPLE UP FROM THEIR SLEEP BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW HOW THEY GONE ACT BUT HE WAS WAY TOO COMFORTABLE.
HE STILL DIDN'T RESPOND SO I SHOOK HIM HARDER CALLING HIS NAME, "JAY!!!" I YELLED "HMMM" WAS HIS RESPONSE " COME ON JAY YOU GOTTA GO" I SAID STILL SHAKING HIM AS HE SLEPT. "COME ON GINA MANE WHAT TIME IT IS???" HE QUESTIONED IN A GROGGY VOICE, "IT DONT FUCKIN MATTER WHAT TIME IT IS NIGGA YOU KNOW HOW SHIT GO" I SHOUTED. LOOKING AT THE CLOCK ON MY NIGHTSTAND IT READ 3:56, I HAD JUST PASSED OUT ABOUT 20 MINUTES AGO AND THIS NIGGA HAD BEEN HERE 20 MINUTES TOO LONG. "WHY I JUST CANT STAY GINA??? IM TIRED FUCKIN ROUND WITH YOU" HE SAID IN A SLEEPY VOICE BUT MORE ALERT THAN BEFORE, "CAUSE THATS NOT HOW SHIT WORK JAY, NOW LETS GO" I SAID PULLING HIM UP OUT MY BED AND THROWING HIS CLOTHES AT HIM TO GET DRESSED. I WALKED HIM TO THE DOOR AND GAVE HIM A LOOSE HUG, HE PULLED ME IN TIGHTER AND TRIED TO KISS ME BUT I TURNED MY FACE AND PUSHED HIM OFF ME "BYE JAY" I SAID IN A BORED TONE KNOWING I WOULDN'T BE SEEING HIM AGAIN. HE DOIN TOO MUCH I THOUGHT AS I SHUT THE DOOR BEHIND HIM MAKING SURE TO LOCK IT BEFORE GOING BACK TO BED. I FELL ASLEEP WONDERING WHAT THIS SHIT WITH DOM WAS, I WAS DEAD READY TO OFF ALL THEM BITCHES BUT SOMETHING WAS TELLING ME DOM WAS SAFE. GUESS WE'LL FIND OUT SOON ENOUGH

IT WAS 7:45 WHEN I PULLED UP AT THE WAFFLEHOUSE, MONT PULLED UP RIGHT NEXT TO ME AND I LAUGHED TO MYSELF KNOWING WE BOTH HAD GRAMS IN MIND ANYTIME WE AGREED TO A MEETING WITH ANYBODY. SHE INSTILLED IN US TO NEVER BE LATE WHEN IT COMES TO BUSINESS AND I COULD ALWAYS HEAR HER VOICE IN MY EAR TO BE EARLY IS TO BE ON TIME AND TO BE ON TIME IS TO BE LATE. WE BOTH GOT OUT OF OUR CARS AND MET EACH OTHER HALFWAY HUGGING AND CARRYING ON, I HADN'T SEEN HIM IN A FEW DAYS BUT IT SEEMED LIKE FOREVER. LETTING EACH OTHER GO WE WALKED INTO THE RESTAURANT SIDE BY SIDE FINDING A TABLE TO SIT AT IN THE CORNER "DAMN ITS COLD IN HERE" I COMPLAINED. THE WAITRESS CAME UP TO OUR TABLE AND TOOK OUR DRINK ORDERS, I GOT A HOT TEA AND MONT ORDERED A ORANGE JUICE. ONCE THE SERVER WALKED AWAY I LOOKED MONT IN THE EYE AND ASKED "SO WHATS GOOD BRODIE???, YOU DONE WOKE ME UP OUT MY SLEEP AND HAD ME READY SHOOT SOME SHIT SO WHATS THIS ABOUT???" I QUESTIONED. "WELL I GET HOME LASTNIGHT FROM MAKING BANK RUNS AND HANGING WITH TRUE ALL DAY TO FIND DOM ON MY PORCH WAITING FOR ME, NOW TO BE HONEST I THOUGHT IT WAS A HIT AT FIRST SO I WAS DEAD READY TO SAUCE HER ASS BUT SHE WAS LOOKING SO CONFUSED AND DISTRAUGHT. I INVITE HER IN THE HOUSE AND SIT HER DOWN ASKING HER WHATS GOING ON AND SHE WAS QUIET FOR A WHILE BEFORE TELLING ME THAT SKYE IS PLOTTING WITH THEM SOUTHSIDE NIGGAS TO GET AT TONY" HE TELLS ME WATCHING MY FACE FOR A REACTION BUT THIS MUCH I ALREADY KNEW, " I KNOW THAT MUCH AND IM ALREADY ON IT" I START "ALL I NEED TO KNOW AT THIS POINT IS HOW LONG SHE BEEN PLOTTING, AND WHOSE IT IN WITH HER" I FINISHED LOOKING DOWN AT THE TABLE. KNOWING I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE GIRLS HE STATED "WELL ONE THING FOR SURE DOM AINT WITH THE SHIT AND SHE MADE IT CLEAR, SHE ADMITTED THAT AT FIRST IT DID SOUND GOOD BUT SHE SLEPT ON IT AND DECIDED SHE WASN'T NO TRAITOR. SHE KNEW NOT TO TELL SKYE THAT SHE CHANGED HER MIND AND ONCE SHE HEARD THE DETAILS SHE KNEW SHE HAD TO PICK A SIDE, A TONY'S GIRL FOR LIFE SHE SAID" HE PAUSED FOR EFFECT "SO WHAT'S THE PLAN???" I ASKED HIM AND HE STARTED LAUGHING. I FROWNED NOT KNOWING HOW HE COULD BE TAKING THIS FOR A JOKE, "THEY GONE KIDNAP ME" HE SAID IN A SERIOUS TONE ALL OF A SUDDEN. I ALMOST LAUGHED INSIDE, "AND YOUR SUPPOSE TO TELL THEM WHERE TO FIND TONY???" I ASKED SARCASTICALLY WITH A SMIRK "NIGGA YOU CANT EVEN FIND YOUR BALLS" I JOKED AND HE CRACKED UP LAUGHING AND NODDING HIS HEAD IN THE DIRECTION OF THE APPROACHING WAITRESS. "SORRY I TOOK SO LONG, ARE YOU GUYS READY TO ORDER?" SHE ASK IN A TIRED VOICE. I ORDERED THE GRILLED CHICKEN AND BACON MELT WITH A SIDE OF HASHBROWNS TOPPED WITH CHILI WHILE MONT PUT TOGETHER AN ALLSTAR MEAL, SOON THE WAITRESS WAS LEAVING AS FAST AS SHE CAME. "SHE MUST PLAN ON KILLING ME IF SHE THINKS SHE GOING TO GET AWAY WITH KIDNAPPING YOU MONT" I STATED IN A MATTER OF FACT TONE. INSTEAD OF RESPONDING HE JUST NODDED HIS HEAD BOTH OF US STAYING QUIET FOR A WHILE BEFORE I BROKE THE SILENCE, "I CANT BELIEVE THIS SNAKE ASS BITCH. WHATS GOT HER FEELING SO BRAVE???" HE LOOKED AT ME THEN PUT HIS HEAD BACK DOWN BEFORE SPEAKING. I COULD TELL HE WAS TRYING TO CHOOSE HIS WORDS BUT COULDN'T SO ALL HE SAID WAS "PHOENIX" "THEM BITCHES MUST BE BUMPING PUSSIES" I SAID IN ANGER AND HE GOT THIS GUILTY SMIRK ON HIS FACE TRYING NOT TO LAUGH. "YOU DID NOT MONT???" I QUESTIONED UNBELIEVINGLY, "WHAT CAN I SAY GI'???" HE STARTED WITH A SHRUG OF HIS SHOULDERS "THEY WANTED TO PUT ON A SHOW FOR YA BOY." I JUST STARRED AT HIS ASS FOR A LONG TIME BEFORE LOOKING UP TO SEE THE WAITRESS COMING WITH OUR FOOD, SHE PLACED OUR FOOD ON THE TABLE AND WE THANKED HER AS SHE WALKED AWAY. "OH I GOT A SHOW FOR THEY ASS" I CHUCKLED AS I PICKED UP MY PHONE TO SHOOT A GROUP TEXT TO DOM AND CHOCOLATE TELLING THEM TO MEET ME AT MY PLACE LATER, I NEED TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS SHIT, AND I NEED ALL THE DETAILS FROM DOM SO WE CAN FORMULATE A PLAN. I DECIDE TO LEAVE CHYNA OUT OF THE LOOP UNTIL I KNOW WHERE SHE STANDS, BUT EITHER SHE'S WITH US OR AGAINST US. AIN'T NO IN BETWEEN I THOUGHT ABOUT TO DIG INTO MY FOOD BUT STOPPED, "WHATS THE PRICE MONT???" I QUESTIONED CATCHING HIM OFF GUARD. HE WAITED A FEW MINUTES BEFORE ANSWERING "A MILLI" AND I DIDN'T EVEN REPLY, IAN KNOW IT WAS THAT DEEP I THOUGHT WITH AN EVIL SMIRK AND STARTED TO EAT, THIS SHIT SHOULD BE INTERESTING.
