Hell And Back (NBA Youngboy)- COMPLETED

Chapter 9 🥀: Uncover Those Secrets

Mariah's POV
*
I stomped into the house, slamming the door.

"MA? MARK?" Mama and Mark came out their rooms, trotting down the steps. I see daddy pop up behind her.

"Daddy?" I whispered.

"Princess--"

"Why the hell you yelling?" Mama popped Mark in his mouth.

"Stop all that. Why the hell you yelling, girl?" I blinked back my tears, while Mark looked at her in disbelief.

"So--y'all just wasn't gon' tell me?"

"Tell you what, girl?"

"That my daddy's the biggest drug fiend in Baton Rouge." They looked at me in surprise. Marcus ran his hand over his face. Daddy let out a sigh. My mama just laughed.

"Well, how you think he was getting all this money? You just thought you was gonna sit pretty in a lil charger that popped outta thin air? He just getting it how he live." I sucked my teeth. I adored my daddy, but this? This "hide everything from the baby" shit, gotta stop.

"So, why you here, daddy?" He chuckled a little, before being cut off by Mama.

"Grown folks business." I laughed.

"So what, Ma, you stayed down all this time?"

"You know it." I laughed again, bitterly.

"What about you, daddy? You stayed ten toes?"

"Yes, baby girl."

"Oh, really? 'Cause I heard you was dicking down some female a couple years older than me not too long ago." Marcus eyes went wide. Daddy's mouth was opening and closing like a dying fish. Mama looked at daddy like she wanted to kill him.

"You watch ya mouth!" Mama yelled at me, but I cut her off.

"Mama, you not a saint, neither. So we not gonna talk about Kelly, Hank, Big Dude, Lance--"

"That ain't none of your business!"

"Bye, Marcus." I said, pulling the door open. I walked to my car, getting in and starting it up. Marcus jumped in.

"What are you doing?"

"Coming with you, lil sis." I pulled off, calling Ben.

"What's poppin', lil girl?"

"Ask them what they wanna eat."

"They had said some' bout going to some big ass arcade and jus' eatin' there."

"Okay, I'm on my way. Bringing big bro with me, too."

"Bet." I hung up, driving to Keisha's complex. We got out the car, heading up to Keisha's apartment, but the whole crew met us.

"We 'bouta go. Imma lead." Beenie said. I nodded at him. Marcus, Ben, and Kentrell got in my car, and the rest in the other. Ben and Trell dapped Marcus up as we pulled off.

"So, where we supposed to be going?"

"Supposed to be like D&B, but bigger. It just opened a couple of months ago."

"Coo'."

"Riyah." My brother whispered.

"Wassup?" He started laughing.

"So we just gone act like you didn't burn Mama and Pop not too long ago?"

"I was tired of y'all niggas keeping secrets. I'm ain't just the baby girl no more, I deserve to be in the loop." I said, mugging him.
