Summer of 2014. We had just graduated from college. Watching tv and drinking soda. It was Raheem, Devon, Spike, Cj, Ray,and I Justin
Long. Spike was in love with one of the prettiest girl in town. They were dating, but she broke his heart. She promised that she will go out with her again when she is ready. On my couch he was sitting there sweating, looking around. Until.....
"Ai yo you good cuz. You want some chips while you waiting for your girl." Raheem started to laugh at Spike. "Justin can I talk to you outside?" Spike said. We went to the pool and sat down near the window. "Nobody wants me
In this world
Especially
Tina." "Tina just needs time bro you
Need to have patients". He left and went home. Something was wrong. Spike wouldn't just leave without saying goodbye.
I
Watched him walk home safely. "Guys we have to check on Spike something is wrong." "He needs a therapist",said Ray. Suddenly we heard gun shots. We ignored it, but then suddenly the cops were in front of Spikes house. One of the officers knocked at my door. "Justin Long. I'm sorry to say that your friend Spike Carter shot himself in the head. I'm sorry for your lost." There was silence in the room we were so sad we couldn't break one tear.
Chapter 1: The plan
It has been 3 weeks since Spikes death. We had the same weekend, but this time we are talking about something else. Interesting and dangerous. This talk is what changed my life and my friends. "I got it!
Lemonade stand." We all looked at Raheem with a stupid face. "Are you fucking dumb?" Devon said.
"Fuck you Devon."
Everybody was arguing with each other.
Then that's when it hit me.
"Guys.
To
Raise this money for him we got
To do the extreme."
"Oh
Yea like what?" said Devon
"Hustling"
"Are you out of your damn mind. You have a girlfriend. What is she gonna tell her kids huh? Your dad is in jail for hustling." Ray disagreed.
"I'm down" Raheem
Said.
" So am I especially for Spike" said Cj
" I
Guess" said Devon
Ray looks around the room. "I'm in".
Day 1 of hustle: Robbery
We had our mask and bikes for tonight,tonight was the night that we made a decision to do bad for Spike.
We went to the store on 161st. There was a corner store that was pretty fancy. That was our first target for the night. We entered the store. I reached for my gun and
Pointed at the cash register. "Give me all the money and put it in the bag now!"
The man was scared. He hit the police alarm at the register. "Your done old faggot."
I shot that man 4 times in his chest area and once in the head. The rest of the crew was talking stuff from the store like electronic cigarettes,and snacks.
We ran out the store and rode our bikes to this bridge we like to go on to View the water. We got of our bikes and I stared to throw up on the floor and some of the guys did the same. "Oh my god. That was exciting, but terrible." I stared to throw up even more. "How much money did we get Ray?"
