Aaliyah

2

Hearing someone screaming and yelling it woke me up out of my sleep.

I quickly jumped up out of Justin bed and ran out into the living room where my older brother was pacing back and forth.

"Mason?" I asked.

He looked at me with fire in his eyes but they quickly softened. "What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Yo you letting that nigga put his hands on you boog? Fuck is wrong with you" he yelled walking up on me so he could examine my face.

The swelling had gone down but it was a light bruise where he had hit me.

"You told him?!" I asked looking to Justin who shook his head no.

"Nah but he should've fucking told me! Why the fuck didn't you tell me! Letting some bum ass nigga pounce on you! You fucking crazy?"

"Mase-"

"Mase shit! Where that nigga at, huh? Let see if he could beat my ass!" Mason was heated! I mean who wouldn't be?

"Mase please, you don't have to I'm not going back" I shrugged.

"You damn right you're not! But ain't no nigga going put his hands on my lil sister and think that shit is cool. Now go put your shit on and take me to where this nigga at" he said.

It was no use in trying to change his mind because he was as stubborn as a mule. So I just did what he said and got my things.

"Lets go, Justin you too so you can help her pack up her shit" He barked walking out the door.

Justin jumped up grabbing his tennis and keys.

"Mason please don't do anything. If his boys are there then he'll jump tuff and try to act big and bad" I said from the passenger seat while he drove off.

"I don't give a fuck who there, let him try something I'm going lay his ass right out!" He yelled hitting the answer key on his radio.

"Yo! What's up with you bro?"

"Oh God" I whispered once I heard my other brother Rakim voice.

He was crazier than Mase was!

"Shit, about to go knock Aaliyah nigga teeth down his throat. He been putting his hands on her"

"What? I'll kill that nigga!"

"What you think I'm going go do"

"Knock his teeth down his throat like you said. Let me get at him"

"Nah, I got It handled. I don't need your hands getting dirty right now"

"Fuck that! I'll meet you over there" he said before disconnecting the phone.

This was about to be a big mess! If Rakim was rocking out then I knew my two cousins Meech and Mitch was rolling right with him.

And they all were killers...

I have 3 older brothers...and that's only from my mother side.

Mason or Mase who was the oldest. He was the protector....the father figure. He was the money maker. He had started his drug empire from the ground up and didn't mind looking out for his people's. But he was not to be played with. He was all about his business and his family and if you messed with either one...then you were as good as dead.
