"Dude, maybe you really didn't see anything?" Pico says in between crunching on his Doritos. Small particles fly out of his mouth. I dust one off of my shirt. "I saw Arod push her against a tree and rough her up." "So, what you gonna do bro, go beat him up for hitting Ebony?
Ebony is not your girlfriend. I think you need to see a doctor, I mean this girl got you bugging out!" "I'm not bugging out. Ebony is a nice girl and I hate to see her in pain and being taken down a dark road."
I know man, but you got to understand though......this is not your battle to fight. You can't help Ebony unless she wants to be helped." I drop my head in defeat. I know Pico is right. I can't help her unless she's ready for help. "What if I talk to her and be her friend?" I half-hearty suggest. "Man you just can't be that girl's friend. I wouldn't want to be involved in that." I drop my head in defeat again. I want to help Ebony.
"Look man, I know you want to help her, but you just can't right now. If you get involved in this, it's not going to be good Macarevhic. Arod is mixed up in a lot of things, from drugs to gangs.
His name is starting to carry some weight. You worked really hard to get away from all that. Don't let this girl make you back paddle back into something you fought so hard to get out of. Just let it go." Chico says. My head is saying Chico is right, but my heart is saying something else.
