Love & Complications (Completed)

Chapter 1

Shawn

"Bruh wake up, we gone be late for class" Dmoney repeatedly kept saying as he shook me. "You ruined my lil minajae twa with Cardi B and Keyshia Cole" I said barely opening my eyes. "Boy but when's the last time either of them really hit the hotline?" Dmoney questioned. "Fuck you nigga you know my phone be semi dry" I said as I started busting out laughing. I finally stood up and stretched. I sprayed some of that new axe that mom bought for my 21st birthday two weeks ago. It smelled so good it was called midnight rendezvous.I smiled remembering that bomb ass party and crazy morning after the fact. After i brushed my teeth I jumped into my outfit and ran down stairs. Rosa , our maid/ back in the day nanny made some fancy ass egg croissants so i grabbed one of them and headed out to the car. Dmoney was already in the car listening to Kevin Gates #Idgt and smoking a blunt. I quickly rushed into the car with the croissant halfway stuffed into my mouth. After eating it all, Dmoney passed me the blunt and i smoked it. "You good bruh?" Dmoney asked as he turned down the music. "Yea im straight why wassup?" "Just asking cuz you been acting kinda strange lately like more spaced out and shit. You still on your meds?" "Yea i am faithfully and nah im cool just been thinking alot more than i usually do" "True" Dmoney said as we turned the corner into our sanctuary and second home Morehouse College. Once we got out the car we dapped each other up and parted ways. I only had 5 mins to get to my advanced trigonometry class. With it being the first day of school and im now a sophmore i figured it wouldnt be a good look with me being late to class so i ran all the way to the other side of campus. I made it in time just as the cute, short redheaded teacher shut the door. A lil out of breath i sat in the back of the room near the top. I got out my notepad and pens and began to start taking notes. I wonder what class she's in now?

Dmoney

*Something been up with that nigga for the past week and half, idk what it is but imma find out sooner or later. I hope its not a girl cuz i dont want to have another shaniece situation again smh that hoe was crazy. Im gone find out soon* Dmoney thought as he walked in his art class right on time as the teacher was giving out instructions. They were starting a new project called Art within your Soul. Basically where you find different materials and things that represent you and then build an image on canvas. While i looked around the room at the different fabrics and knick knacks i felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. When i pulled out my phone i dreaded who i had seen a text from.

__Mom:What yall heathins want for dinner tonight and i have something i need to discuss with yall two.

__Me: Popeyes or something idk ask shawn

__Mom:Alright well make sure yall are on time i work hard to have our family dinners every thursday evening.

Im sure Rosa does work real hard, i said outloud rolling my eyes as i sat back down with my materials eager to put my emotions on canvas.

"Where them lil boys at, they know I dont like anyone to be late to dinner" i said quickly guzzling down my wine. "Rosa pour me another glass" I yelled out. Rosa appeared from around the corner carrying some shardonay. "How many glasses you had already ,that makes 4?" Shawn asked walking up from behind me and taking his seat. "Well what took yall so long" I said already catching an attitude. "You know Atlanta has bad traffic, we been here 5 years you should know that by now. Or maybe you dont know
cuz Garret (our driver) takes you anywhere you so please" "I live the life I deserve... blessed" I spat at Dmoney. "But anyways I called you both here to tell you about your dad" Shawn and Dmoney looked at each other then rolled their eyes as they knew where this conversation was going."As you know its been 4 years since your dad left.." "Dont gotta remind everyone" shawn said cutting in. "Anyways your dad is sick and on his deathbed and has requested yall come see him" Whats wrong with em?" Dmoney asked dryly. "Kidney failure from all them damn cigarettes" I retorted. Dmoney sighed as he finished eating, Shawn on the other hand was always quiet whenever his dad came up. He was the one that had seen the most of "it" when his uncle Larry had died. He never told anyone because he figured no one would believe him anways. As a child he had been traumatized by that horrifying night. "Shawn? SHAWN! I know you hear me talking to you boy" I yelled out again." My bad ma wassup" he said coming back to reality."When yall going to see him, i know he dont have long" I said secretly laughing on the inside because I knew a check for some life insurance money was coming soon after Lawernce dumb ass finally kicked the bucket. "Soon ,come on bruh lets go to the spot" Dmoney said as shawn got up and followed him. "Later" Shawn called behind him before closing the back door in the kitchen. "Ugh them churen irritate my nerves, Rosa come clean up this mess." I said pouring another glass of wine. Rosa and I gave each other the death stare as she cleared the table.
