GHETTO (34)

Mystery

"Who the fuck did this to you Makira?" I said in a calm voice not trying to raise my voice. She stayed quiet and that pissed me off more than what I was

"Makira Shareese Allen, you might want to answer my fucking question." I said once again, calm, trying to battle my temper. "KK WHO THE FUCK DID THIS TO YO' ASS!!" I yelled staring at her bruised purple eyes. One was light purple and the other one was damn near completely shut and dark.

She started to cry. "I did what you told me to do." She whispered, I could barely hear her.

"He did this?" I asked and she shrugged and nodded "Did he hurt the baby?" She shook her head no.

"You got make up on?" I dragged my hand down my face and watched her nod

"J give her something so she can wipe makeup off." She gave her some wipes and she went back to doing her hair.

"Wipe it off." I walked to my side of the bed and grabbed the blunt I had from earlier and lit it. This shit blew my high.

I walked back in front of KK and looked at the scratches and other bruises she had. "What's his name?"

"Mario Perks, he go by PK." I smirked cause I knew exactly who she was talking bout. "Don't go no where until I get back." I said grabbing her keys and heading to the bathroom.

"I'll be back in 25 minutes, be ready. " She nodded and I went downstairs

I heard the girl I was introduced to as Kira crying. I finished my last piece of hair that I had to curl and dragged my fingers through it. I peeked around the bathroom wall and saw her balled up, sobbing.

I Sat next to her and comforted her like I would want someone to do for me. Soon she chilled and it got quiet. I got up and went downstairs to get a pack of frozen veggies. I handed it to her and she placed it on her eye.

"What happened? If you don't mind me asking."

"Last year December 12th, I found out I was pregnant. I told my family, but I didn't tell the father. Mystery told me I needed to tell and I felt the need to tell him. I kept calling his phone and he wouldn't answer. I was wondering why he was avoiding my calls, I never found out. I knew I wasn't a fuck and duck because that wasn't our first time, it's whatever. Last week I went to CVS to pick up my prenatal vitamins and he was coming from somewhere and I gave him my phone number cause I wanted to tell him. We ended up meeting yesterday, I told him and I could slick tell he was happy but he told me he got another baby mama. I accepted it, and was like I just wanted him to know he has this baby on the way. He agreed to give me money when needed we was cool on everything. Then he asked could we be together and I don't know what I said that pissed him off but he got mad and left. I was about to get in my car and some boys jumped me and told me to abort the baby, I think he set me up. I don't know. "She said rubbing her temples.

We sat there for about 30 minutes just talking about different things. I found out she was raised along side Mystery, with their grandmother and mostly Mystery's father help. She is Bisexual but like boys more than girls. She still lives with their grandmother, and why is because her mother treated her badly. She's 19 and Mystery is more like her brother than her cousin.

"So, how did you and Mo meet." She asked, I had to think that she calls Mystery by his childhood nickname more than his street name

"My job, one night I was bartending and he sparked the conversation. Then I went home that night and my condo had been broken into. I had nothing but the little family I did talk to. My real brother was out on a run and couldn't come so the next day I called my play brother and he came with Mystery and Travis kind of put us together."
