Chained By The Gang

chapter 20: welcome back

January 3rd, 1998 and I'm finally getting out of this hell hole I was forced to call my home for a year. "I can't believe this... I'm finally getting out of this place!" I say with joy as I am packing up a few of my things, preparing to leave this dreadful place. When I finished packing I walk out of that jail cell without looking back because I don't plan on ever being there again. As I am walking up to the front desk grab a few of my personal items that they took from me when I first came in I see the crooked officer that arrested me. When I reach across the counter to get my stuff he grabs my wrist and says "yo ass will be back and I'm going to make sure of that!"

After he said that I broke away from his tough grip and with no hesitation I run out the door. As I am walking outside I see my niggas J-Rock and L.T leaning up against this clean black on black 1990 Cadillac Deville. When I see that sexy ride I look at J-Rock and ask him if that's his car. After he says it is I check it out and say "damn my nigga that hoe is sexy!" That's when he thanks me as I walk up to them and give them both dap and tell them I missed them. Once they tell me how happy they are that I'm out we all go ahead and hop in the car and head to my house.

While we are driving around I begin to look at my surroundings to see what has changed. Although I have only been in there for a year it felt like I have been in there forever. As we pull up to my house I see a grip of cars outside of my house. "I guess they here for my baby birthday and my arrival." I say as we begin to walk toward the door. When we open the door all you can hear is music banging and everyone having a good time, so I go ahead and walk through and say what's up to everyone. As I am walking to the back I see my baby, so I walk up to her and give her a hug and a kiss. Once I do that everyone starts and clapping. When everyone stops screaming the deejay turns the music down. Then I hear a voice in the crowd say "speak L.J... Speak!" That's when I decide to go up to the front and while holding my girls hand I grab the microphone and say "what's up everyone? I first want to say thank you for coming on this great occasion, I'm real glad you all could make it. Then I would like to wish my baby a happy birthday and I love you with all my heart. Since that's about it I don't want to delay the party anymore, so crank that music back up!"

Once I hand the deejay back the microphone someone walks through the door and everybody stops what they are doing and looks at the person walking through the crowd. I was even curious of who it was until the person says "hold up... Hold up! How in the hell are yall going to throw a party without inviting yo boy Nine?" After he said his name everyone got quiet and looked at me. While everyone is staring at me trying to predict my next move Nine spots me out and decides to ask me personally why wasn't he invited. When he asked me that I let go of LaNisha's hand and walk toward him.

As I am approaching Nine a few of the Diamond Boys trail behind me. Once I am face to face with him I look him dead in the eyes and say "my nigga is that question serious? After what you did you actually think you are allowed to hang with us still? Nine you know damn well that the Diamond Boys do not hang with snitching fraud ass niggas like you!" After I said that we stare into each other's eyes and that's when he decides to respond with a smart remark and say "well that's cool my nigga cause on some real shit I didn't come to see you anyway. I just came to tell my baby LaNisha happy birthday..." When he called LaNisha his baby that pissed me off to a whole other and I instantly start swinging off on him. Once the fight begins to get a little out of hand my boys try there hardest to break us up, but they can't pull us apart. Since they couldn't pull us apart B.D tells his body guard to break it up. When the bodyguard got down there even he was having a hard time breaking us up, but they finally tore us apart after a good five minutes. But just because we were apart did not mean there still wasn't tension in the room. While I have about six niggas trying there hardest to hold me back and my girl trying to calm me down, Nine is over by the door just talking mess.

As Nine continues to talk shit that's when B.D gets out his seat and says "what the hell is really going on here? First of all this is a family gathering and if I do recall, Nine you are no longer in this family... So get out or be thrown out!" After B.D said that Nine looked into his eyes and knew that he was serious, so he began to leave and on his way out he looks back at me and says "forget a Diamond Boy cause I made yall what yall are and now that I'm gone yall are nothing... Oh and as for you L.J you better watch yo back cause on some real shit yo ass is mine!"

Once the door was closed the deejay started the music back up because nobody was worried about what he was saying. While I am on the dance floor with my baby I hear B.D call my name, so I walk to the back where the rest of the boys are. As I am sitting down one of my boys hands me a drink as B.D begins to talk. "Well before everybody goes back to the party I want to talk to yall for a quick second. I know yall aint worried about what ol' boy said, but wee at least need to stay on the lookout for certain things. By the way we aren't the most like gang out here, so all I'm saying is watch out and be ready for anything and everything!" When everything was said and done B.D dismisses us and we go back to the party because we weren't going to let that fake ass nigga Nine spoil our night.
