TOY SOLDIERS

Crossed Me

Dru

                   It was a few weeks later and we all still hadn't faced the fact with the major lost we took. We packed up and left the safe house the next day after Tate and Ashya's arrivial. We moved into a bigger house a few miles away from the safe house and honestly it was way better than the first one. I had this house built secretly on a land that nobody knew about in case of something like this happening. See even though I made a few mistakes I was still two steps ahead of the situtation and I refused to let someone catch me slipping yet again.
After being bored and miserable out of our minds, me and Ashya decided to meet up with the realtor about a land in mexico so once this was all over with we could move there and be safe for the rest of our lives. After that we planned to take Millian and mom to the mall to relief some stress that we all were carrying over our heads.

"Ashya come on we gonna be late she's be there in a hour" I said walking pass her room. She was in the shower and I heard her phone ringing.
"Ashya ya phone is ringing" I said entering her room.
"Answer it for me" she yelled from the shower.
Her phone was sitting on the bed ringing from a private number so I answered it...
"Hello" I said trying to change my voice.
"Ashya... Where are y'all at... I need you" I heard Briana's voice on the other end. She sound hystercial as if something was wrong.
I paused in the phone and pulled it away from my ear.
"Ashya"... Briana called out again before I hung up the phone. I plopped down on her bed with a sad expression.

I thought to myself Damn who can I trust ... Just the thought of her talking to Briana period made me feel like she Crossed me. Ashya was pose to be my R.O.D that was my Bitch I loved her we been through alot of shit together but now I no longer trusted her. I left out her room with a whole new mind set.
I walked inside the diner and sat across from a blonde, short haired woman with pale skin. She looked as if she was in her early thirty with a her small body frame. "Hello Dru'ona my name is amy as you know I'm the realtor for the location that you hired. I will assure you that your property is now finished and ready. I have pictures of the beautiful home and it happens to be on the outskirts by the water and it is amazing. You also have a another part that was built onto the home which is big enough to make into another home" She stated as she showed me pictures from her tablet.
She was right, this was a beautiful glass home at the top of a hill. You could look down and see the ocean from the balcony, I knew everyone would love what I had did and that's all that mattered to me.
After we discussed a few more things about Mexico I paid her the final down payment on the property plus interest for her help and rose to my feet. I shook her hand and told her I would be in touch then I exit the diner and pulled off with a clean heart. I always so excited and ready for our new journey, now it was time to put somethings in motion.

Later on:

                          Dru

I was coming in the house from doing a little shopping with Millian and my mother. Tate and Zy were out together making moves so I thought this would be some free time for me and my child. Mom told me that she was gonna go take a bubble bath and relax before she walked away. Soon as me and Millian walked in the kitchen Ashya appeared. She was smiling from ear to ear as she dug in our bags.

"Any food... I smell take out" Ashya said.
"Millian babe go put you things away in your room for mommy" I said. Millian did as I told her, grabbed her shopping bags and ran off. Ashya looked up at me from the bags with a frown on her face.
"Yes there is take out in the bags" I said looking at her with low eyes.
She picked up my attitude "What's wrong with you"? She asked.
I pulled my gun from my waist and sat it on the island counter in front of us. She gave me a weird look "Fuck is that for Dru"?
"You setting us up too... Or you here to finish me off"? I questioned.
She tilted her head and bite down on her lip "What are you saying Dru"?
"Why you talking to Briana"? I asked.
"I wasn't" she said with a confused face.
"Just tell me are you here to finish me off because if so I want you to do it now because I'm not running nomore" I said as tears fall I was so upset I didn't even know I was crying at first.
"I'm not here to set you up I thought we was a crew" Ashya said obviously clueless to what I was talking about.
"You talking to the enemy and you gonna sit here and act like you don't know why I'm so angry" I said damn near yelling.
She paused "As long as I've known you... As long as we've been crew you would actually think that I would trade up on you for Briana. I would never do that shit to you Dru you like a sister to me" Ashya said raising her voice a little.
"So why did she call ya phone"? I asked.
"I don't know... But she's been calling me for days" Ashya said sincerly.
"Why didn't you tell me"? I yelled.
"You going thru enough don't you think... But I guess a real friend wouldn't care about that" Ashya said and in her voice I could tell she was hurt.
"And to answer ya question I didn't talk to Briana" was the last thing she said before she walked out the kitchen.

Instantly I felt bad, I was wrong for thinking Ashya would do me dirty. I never had to question her loyal so why would I now when if anything me and her had been through the storm together. Me, her and Jerry formed this crew, had she not mentioned us getting money together the night I met her I would have been all alone or dead by now.
