K.O.

Bigger Drama in Texas

So a week into this and I'm good af. This is mad easy. I was looking at the shoes since no one was coming in. Man these shoes would look so good on Owen.
Ding dong. Some one walked in. I saw it was my mans.
"What ya'll doing here?"

"What we cant come here?" They laugh

"Man whatever."

"Nah we came to harrass you."

"Well can you atleast walk around and look like your looking at shoes." They nod.

"Soo King we was planning to go to a party next friday, you wanna go. You can even bring your girl." One thing I want to do here in Texas is start of fresh.

"Funny thing is, I don't have a girlfriend."

"Even bett-"

"I got a boyfriend." I flinch getting ready for the harsh comments

"Who would've known? Bring him then."

"Okay." I say hesitantly. I dap them up and they say their byes.

When I got home I closed the door and went to my room. I closed my eyes and about the go to sleep. The door slowly creaks open.
"Hey babe." I groan

"Actually its me."

"Oh hey ma." Ms Walker smiles. I sit up and she sits on my bed.

"So how was work?"

"Good. This job mad easy."

"Im so glad your moving on."

"Yeah me too. Leaving Detroit was something that needed to be done."

"Im glad you looking at life in a new light. Seems like living in your father's shadow just wasn't you. Im just glad you so positive after him being gone."

"Yeah leaving his ass and his goons was smart."

"Well i never did tell you im sorry for your loss." Huh?

"Isnt that what people say when someone died?"

"Okay im confused didn't Owen-"

"Ma, what you doing in here?"

"I think ya'll need to talk." She stands up and heads out. What the fuck us going on? Who died? Owen knew?

"Owen what's she talking bout?"

"Like 2 weeks ago. There was a explosion in Detroit due to gang violence." I feel a lump come in my throat. He better not say what I think." It was at the K.O. Spot. When they went through it. Bull was found in the ashes." I sit on my bed and put my head in my hands. My dad has always had my back. Taught me everything I know. Raised me to be the man I am now. Started at 6 years old.

'Why you crying baby boy?' I came in Dad's office balling tears. Some boy at school is puck on me and Ill know he'll be mad.

'If I tell you, you'll be mad.' If I do, he's gonna think im punk but if I don't, Nando's just gonna keep bullying me.

'There's nothing you can do to make me mad' I sigh. I know he's not gonna be mad at me now.

'This boy.' I say not knowing if I should tell him or not

'Spit it out papito.'

'He calls me names. He pushes me and gets everyone to call me names.' I start to Sob.

'See pito , you need to show him who's boss. Are you sit there taking licks or you gonna be his ass?' I think about the answer. I don't want to get beat up but I want to make him proud.

"I wanna beat his ass.' I say honestly

'So do it.' He grabbed me by the shoulder and slapped my face. I start to cry but I know i need to to stops. 'Now if I hear that shit again you're gonna be bleeding.' I continue to cry 'Stop fucking crying. You're a man. Go handle your shit like one.' He gets close to my face.

'Kay dad.'

'Love you Papito.' He kisses his his two fingers and place it on my forehead. He's so strong and brave. He's my hero. I want to be just like him when Im older.

'Love you too.' I kiss my two fingers and put it on his forhead.

"Baby, it's okay." I didnt even realize I was crying in his shoulder. I shot up, eyes feeling puffy.

"You knew about this for 2 weeks? 2 whole fucking weeks Owen."

"I'm sor-"

"Stop with all that bullshit. You got mad when you found out Bull killed your pops. You even thought I knew about it. YOU KNEW MY FATHER DIED AND DIDN'T SAY SHIT!"

"You were just starting the job.. and I-" he starts to cry

"You.. I.. Yo I need to the fuck outta here." I grab my jacket and storm out to him calling my name. I stormed to the car. He fucking knew about this and still smiled in my face.

Im so heated I didnt know he was coming up behind me.
"King listen to me." He tried to get in my way

"Yo leave me the fuck alone." I yell in his face. The sight of him is making my blood boil. He fucking knew!

"King im sorry." I tried to move past me. At this point, I'm fed up with this bullshit. I push him as hard as I can into the dirt. "Yo wtf?" He screams.

"I said get the fuck out my way." I scream. He stands back up.

"Fuck it then leave. Get your money back for this stupid ass house and get to stepping." I was gonna walk over to him and fuck his face up if he kept talking so I just get in the car and take off.

He fucking knew this whole time. I know my father and I didn't end on good terms but that was my hero. My everything. My world. I lived for that man. Yeah he lied to me but that's my family and he's gonna forever be family. The fact that he's gone forever from this world is what's getting to me. I don't want to be anywhere near this house.
