Second thoughts....

chapter 6

"It was dremonte." He says.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah he got me when I was leaving your house. Him and some other people that not from here."
I start crying this is like my dads death all over again.
"Aye don't cry you gotta be strong to me and yo dad. You can do it I believe in you baby girl."
I just look at him.
"Promise me you will be strong fo us."
"I promise."
I lean in and kiss him on the lips. I pull back. He closes his eyes then open them again.
"Ayeina I love you and remember i-"
He suddenly closes his eyes
The machine go flat.
No. No. No. This can't be happening to me he's gone. That nigga took him from me.
"Ay remember I am always here for you and look in my room and look in the closet. You will see 10 shoe boxes. They filled with money and your passport. In was saving that for when you graduate but after you handle your business I want you to get out of here like to Guatamala. Your uncle is there. I already talked to him and he said he will take you in of anything went down. There guns between my mattress take those and get the hell outta here. Finish school there and go to college. Do something great with your life. Dont be like me and your dad. He wants you to do better than our lives." He says.
"But this is all I know."
"No its not your smart baby girl. You can do great things. OK."
"But-"
"Dont argue for once in your life a d just promise me that."
"I promise."
Tears are running down our faces.
"Its time for me to go babygurl. Your dad says its time for you to step up."
He smiles at me, wink , then close his eyes. The machine go flat.
I get up and kiss him one last time. I squeeze his hand. I turn of life support. I walk towards the door. I look back to my best friend one last time. This the end of ayeina and Versace. Imma miss him.
But its time to finish what dremonte started.....
