Ride For You II

Seven

Chresanto & JJ had a few hours before they were to catch their flight to Miami. They were just kicking back looking around the old house they called the spot for a few years. "Man, we really out this piece." JJ said shaking his head. "The things you do for love, huh santo?"

"First off nigga, don't call me that. What the hell is a santo?" Chres said giving his bro a confused look. "But I guess. She better be the one I marry too, otherwise this shit redundant."

"You wanna get married crodie?" JJ said surprised. "When yo ass start thinking bout marriage?"

Chres looked at him and shrugged. "I always think about it. Not like on no serious shit though." He said as he lit the blunt that rested between his fingers.

"Just a thought huh?" JJ laughed. "Man, all the shit that went down in this house. All them times we got it lit. Might miss this place."

"Yeah, some good and bad times mayne." Chres said as he hit the blunt. "Took so many virginities in this house." They looked at each other then busted out laughing.

These two together was nothing but jokes and they knew that. There was never a dull moment.

Chresanto was walking around the gas station looking for a bag of chips to buy. Seemed like it took him forever because he was so high. As he was walking up to the counter he bumped into someone knocking their belongings out of their hand. "Oh shit, my bad." He sad as he leaned down to pick up the persons wallet for them. Just by the looks of the wallet he knew it was a female. "Im sorry, here." He said standing up to hand them the wallet.

"It's alright sweetheart."

He knew that voice but for some reason it wasn't clicking in his brain.

"Chresanto?" The woman said sounding slightly surprised. "What are you doing over in this part of town? Jayda doesn't even live over here anymore."

When he looked up he saw that it was Shania's mom and for the first time ever she wasn't accusing him of something. "Hi Mrs. W... I was actually in the neighborhood to visit my mom. I used to live over here before I moved out."

"Oh that's so nice of you honey."

He only nodded in response.

Chresanto paid for his items then walked out of the gas station before he started getting questioned about Shania's whereabouts. Just as he was unlocking his car, her mom came out and stopped him.

"Chresanto, hey, I know we were on you tough but we were just trying to protect our daughter." She said apologetically.

He opened his door. "Yeah I know."

"We just wanted her safe and out of danger. Like now, we have no clue where she is just that she's in Florida somewhere."

He gave a unenthusiastic chuckle. "You think I know where she is and you want me to tell you? Is that what you're trying to get at?" He cut straight to the point. He couldn't stand beating around the bush. It was so pointless.

"Well, yeah, if you kn-"

"I don't. I haven't talked to her in weeks. We broke up a couple weeks after she got out of the hospital." He said crossing his arms over his chest.
