Loving The Plug(urban)

why Armani

Armani

All these thoughts kept running thought my head, what if I got caught, what if I go to jail but I quickly shut them down cause this was something I had to do.

I was almost to Walters mini mart. This store was ghetto as shit. They sold roll ups, clothes and food. I laughed as I got closer because I could see the people coming out with food and clothes mixed together in the same bags.

I finally got infront of the store and walked in. Everybody and they mama was here today. How was gonna steal without getting caught? but then I remembered I was living in the Bronx. Half of these motherfuckers in this store right now is stealing.

I went straight to the canned food ile. I just threw random shit like carrots, corn and fruit into the bag. Then I moved on to the next ile which was full of snacks. I just picked up some chocolate and some chips.

I honestly didn't know what the hell to get I'm still a child myself. I continued to just pick up more snacks until I heard a voice yell down the ile.

"Stop!" yelled a grocery store worker.

My eyes widened, I zipped up the bag and took of down the ile. I need to get out this store. I ran out of the food ile and towards the roll up stand. I looked back to see if the Worker was still chasing me and out of nowhere I ran smack into someone's chest.

I was dizzy until I heard a familiar voice say my name.

"Armani!?" Said Darnell

I heard footsteps come up behind me I'm guessing it was the grocery worker.

"Don't let her go nowhere, she was stealing!" Yelled the grocery worker.

Darnell looked at the grocery worker with an irritated look.

"Does she look like she going anywhere? She just ran into me and hit the ground like a linebacker, chill the hell out"

"Don't tell me to chill out, we don't tolerate stealing in this store!" The grocery worker yelled

" my nigga let's take it down a couple notches okay? And anyway half of Bronx new York steals from this ghetto ass store. So you can get the fuck with that we don't tolerate stealing bullshit"

"Whatever I'm calling the cops" the grocery worker tried to walk off but Darnell grabbed his shoulder

"imma pay for it just don't call the police ard?" Darnell said

"You really think imma let your little friend off that easy? I'm still contacting the police" said the worker

"Look man stop being over dramatic, shit I'll pay double just don't call the cops" said Darnell pleading, the worker sighed

"Okay I guess that's fine. Bring the thief and her items over here to check out"

Darnell helped me off the floor.

"Were gonna talk about this Armani" he whispered in my ear.

The worker scanned all the stuff while giving me the stank eye.

After everything was scanned and bagged we walked out the store. I kept my head down cause I could feel Darnell's hard stare.

'So why was you stealing Armani" he said

Every time he says my name it sends chills up my spine uhh he needs to shut up. I kept my head down and didn't answer.

"Armani?" He said again but I didn't answer.

I then felt a hand on my arm pulling me to a halt. I looked up at a worried looking Darnell.

"I stole so I could feed my brothers" I said

"Why didn't you just ask me for money?" He said I all of a sudden got angry. I didn't want to rely on someone. I couldn't even rely on the person that gave birth to me.

"BECAUSE I DONT NEED YOUR HELP OR ANYONE ELSES. FROM THE TIME I WAS BORN I COULDNT EVEN RELY ON MY MOTHER AND NOW SHE UP AND DISAPPEARED. SHE ABANDONED ME AND MY BROTHERS DARNELL. IM ALL ALONE IN THIS SHIT NOW!" I yelled as tears ran down my eyes like a water fall.

He looked at me with sad eyes and then rapped his arms around me. In those few minutes he hugged me it felt like my world was alright.

"I'm sorry Armani, I ain't mean to come across like that. I just didn't expect to find you stealing."

I wiped tears away from my eyes and laughed.

" I guess, with me seeming all innocent and shit" I said

"Damn and her mouth filthy" yelled Darnell loudly for everyone around us to hear.

I laughed loudly

"Come on let's get this food to your brothers" said Darnell while rapping his arms around my shoulders.

Maybe I'm not all alone in this.
