Grind and Pray

XLIII

Atlanta (Saturday Afternoon)
After I dropped off Alycia I headed home to shower and think about the shit Sammy just told me. No wonder why she didn't want to talk to me infront of my sister. As i got out the shower with my boxers and sweats on, the doorbell rung. I hurried down the stairs to answer it. As i'm getting to the door, mama opens it.

Police officer: Is your son Tyrone here?
Ma Dukes: Is there a problem officer?
Police officer: Ma'am we are here by law to arrest your son for the rape of fifteen year old Sammy Gumerez.

I turned so fast towards the stairs to run up them, I heard mom yell "don't hurt him". I hurried to my room, grabbing a bag and going through my window. I then made my way through the the side gate and out into the streets. As i ran, a cop car came speeding right next to me cutting me off, I hopped over the hood. The officer got out his car, which led to him shooting me in my shoulder. I dropped to the ground.FUCK. He put me in handcuffs and walked me to the car, mama was banging on the window.

Ma Dukes: Ty baby don't worry i'm gonna get you out.

I couldn't even look mama in her eyes through the window. I didn't want to see the disappointment written on her face. The officer pulled off and I thought to myself: I'M GOING TO KILL SAMMY.

"Becca P.O.V": We are now waiting for the bride to walk down the aisle. She's pregnant? I didn't know that. As, I sat next to Ni cousin he looked at me from where the groomsmen had to stand. I would smile which caused him to smile. We all stood as she began making her way down with her father holding her right arm. When they finally got to the end, he gave his daughter off to her husband. As the wedding was actually about to get somewhere the SWAT team busted through the church doors.

Officer #1: NO ONE LEAVES THIS CHURCH!
Officer #2: WE NEED NASIER CARTER AND ALFONZO CARTER.

Ni steps down from the step and the officer began whispering in his ear. Once, he finished Ni walked over to me.

Becca: what's going on?
Ni: I have to go, they need me.
Becca: *tears forming* Ni, I LOVE YOU. Come back home to me please.
Ni: *wipes the tear that escaped from Becca left eye* I love you too. And for you, I will come back.

I hugged Ni tight and he pulled away kissing me passionately. When he separated from me for the last time, I cried as he walked away with his brother and the officers. I can't believe he's leaving now, out of all the time in the world it just had to be now during his brothers wedding.

"Amiya P.O.V": As the guys are getting there edges, Chuckii's phone begins to vibrate in my purse. I pull it out to see that it's Ma Dukes.

Amiya: Chuckii your mom is calling.
Chuckii: Aye hol' up homie. Lemme answer this.

I handed Chuckii his phone and his facial expression said it all. He hung up and told the barber to finish up his hair. Once, the barber finished, he pulled me to the side.

Chuckii: Miya baby I need you to do me a favor.
Amiya: Anything.
Chuckii:Watch afta them two fools. I gotta go handle some shit.
Amiya: Everything okay?
Chuckii: for me? Yeah. For Ty? No.
Amiya: what...
Chuckii: I'll catch you up. In the meantime lemme see yo keys and call Hope.

     I handed my keys to Chuckii, scared of what could be going on right now. The barbers finished up the boys head and I called Hope.

#phone convo#
Hope: Hello.
Me: Hope, are you busy right now?
Hope: No. But what's going on?
Me: Chuckii left and took my keys.
Hope: Just send me the address.
Me: will do. See you when you get here.
#end of phone convo#

    As i sat waiting, one of the barbers (picture down below)

Sat down in his chair, texting on his phone.

Jadrian: Yo Terry lemme tell you how i was ballin at the court and this lil mama walked by with some booty shorts and a crop top that has her titties all out.
Terry: You got a picture?
Jadrian: you know i do. I'ma hit that later tonight.
Amiya: Exactly why women say ya'll ain't shit.
Jadrian: Hol' up ma cause yall women ain't shit neither.
Amiya: Us women? Yall cheat more than us and not our fault that yall can't sex us the way we want to be sexed.
Jadrian: *stands* listen i know you been coming around here for a while, buh if you don't like what us guys talk about then leave. Oh, you fine too. Attitude, brains, and beauty something a lot of you women don't have this generation.
Amiya: Maybe if you men weren't giving women a image of flat stomach, big titties, big ass, and long hair whether its real or fake.
Jadrian: *grabs Amiya* Well you real so lemme get a chance with you.
Amiya: *pulls away* No thank you.

     I saw Hope pull up and me and the boys began making our way out the door.

Amiya: Terry, do you have them schedule for their next appointment?
Terry: yea, good job lookin out fo yo boy.
Amiya: Thats how i get my check *laughs* see you in two weeks.

    We headed out and we all got in the car.

Hope: Amiya, what happened?
Amiya: I'm just as lost as you. When we get to the house, i'm going to need the keys to the family truck and i'm going to need the girls.
Hope: Okay.

     We drove back to the house in silence. Hope handed me the keys and Alycia walked down the stairs crying.

Alycia: Are you serious snoop?
Snoop: What?
Alycia: You left your fucking phone with me and some bitch named Riley texted you talking about "hey baby you busy". So you sleeping around? I see how it is. We done. Ion got nothing else to say to you.

     Alycia wiped her face and I just shook my head.

Amiya: Alycia are you ready?
Alycia: No. Let me shower. I'll be ready in about thirty minutes.
Amiya: Alright. Oh yeah can you...
Pablo: I'll let her know.

      Pablo and Alycia made their way upstairs while, Hope went into the kitchen, and Snoop walked out back. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?
