Both Maliki and Dreka were okay once they got the bullets removed.
They both were on bed rest for 3 weeks but Maliki and Dreka had a talk when they both were in the hospital but ever since they both were released Maliki has been ignoring Dreka.
He thinks that it will keep her safe if he just leaves her alone because in the game that he's in Dreka most definitely would be a target.
But as for Dreka she didn't care about any of that and she couldn't understand why Maliki was ignoring her and it was hurting her.
"What's wrong baby" London asked cuddling up to Maliki rubbing his head.
"I miss Dreka" He said still slouched down in the couch and closed his eyes as London played with his hair.
"Maliki" London said causing Maliki to open his eyes. "Yeah" He responded.
"You need to stop pushing that girl away, after everything you put her through she has always been down for you and has been nothing but good to you... Me and her have had multiple talks about how we both want better for you, she's came to me crying before because she was so worried about you and your about to just let her slip away like she's just some hoe"
London would never lead her kids down the wrong path and she knew that Dreka was nothing but good for Maliki.
"I'm just trying to keep her safe if I continue to mess with her something is going to happen to her and if something happens to her I'm gonna go crazy"
"At least talk to her"
"Momma No" Maliki said raising his voice. "If I talk to her then I'm gonna be tempted to stay with her I just want the best for her"
London didn't bother to argue with him because she knew he was hurting.
"Just know she's not gonna wait around forever" London kissed Malikis forehead before going back to her room.
Dreka got out the shower and rapped her towel around her body then walked back into her room.
She grew frustrated as she looked in the mirror it started becoming hard for her to breath tears fell from her eyes as she started to shake.
She was having an anxiety attack. She was heart broken that Maliki made it clear he didn't want anything to do with her anymore. She's been in her room depressed for the past few days having anxiety attacks that she's never had before and it was making her feel miserable because she didn't know how to control it.
Once she was calmed down she laid on her bed and cried all she wanted was for Maliki to hold her or at least talk to her.
Maliki got up from the couch and asked London to use the car so he could go talk to Dreka.
Dreka's mom let Maliki in greeting him with a hug.
"How you feeling" Ruby, Dreka's mom asked rubbing Malikis back.
"Could be better" He said.
"Dreka hasn't been out of her room for days she just got out of the shower I think go check on her" She said in her thick Puerto Rican accent.
Maliki walked back into Drekas room to see her laying on her bed rapped in a towel crying.
"What's wrong" Maliki asked laying down next to her.
"I missed you" Dreka cried hugging Maliki back.
"I'm sorry for ignoring you I just thought it would keep you safe but I want you to know that I'm here and I'm not going anywhere and I'm about to work my way out of these streets and get a real job"
Everything that Maliki was saying he meant it and Dreka believed him because Maliki always stuck to his word. It made Dreka happy to hear that but she couldn't say anything as she cried with her head in his chest hugging him.
Adriana
"You killed them" I asked my dad referring to the people that had shot Maliki and Dreka.
"Stop asking me questions" He replied.
I nodded my head knowing that he obviously did.
"I'm hungry" I complained taking a deep breath.
"What you want to eat" He asked as we stopped at a red light.
"Um I don't know surprise me"
"Don't say that then get to complaining when I bring you somewhere you don't wanna go" He said smirking.
"You're so petty" I said shaking my head.
"I'm just playing princess, Waffle House sound good" He asked.
"Perfect" I smiled nodding my head.

We sat in Waffle House eating our food as we conversed.
"I want a puppy" I said out of no where.
"Hell naw you wouldn't even take care of the mutt and your mom would throw a fit"
"I never get what I want" I rolled my eyes.
"Adriana you just got a whole new wardrobe damn near you better act like you know where the fuck you came from" He said.
He was right ever since we been having money in the house I have been acting kind of snotty.
"I'm sorry guess I just been excited to finally get what I want"
"It's okay mommas" He said finishing his food before asking for the check.
