Stay Down

Chapter 12-What Else Can Go Wrong

It Was Hurt To His Soul..He Had Been Saving That Money For The Longest And It Was All Gone

He Sat On The Couch Quiet Holding His Gun In Hand

"We Need To Call Somebody The Police Or Something..I Mean They Took Everything"I Said

"And You Really Think The Police Gon Help Us Get It All Back Some Crackhead Could Of Broke In And Got Us For Everything That Shit Long Gone"He Said Dryly

"Chris Everything Is Gone !"I Yelled At Him

And He Just Gave Me This Blank Stare

He Stood Up And Said "You Think I Don't See This Shit...I See This Shit...All Our Money Is Gone Adrianna That Was Our Money To Get Away Money! "He Said

The He Put His Hands On His Head Ans Said "Adrianna Thats Wasn't Only Just Our Money Yo I Owe This Nigga Gt Like Two Grand For Some Product He Fronted Me…I Had His Money Next To Ours Under The Mattress"

"Okay So Just Tell Him What Happened Tell Him Are Apartment Got Broken Into"I Said

"Nigga Not Gon Wanna Hear That He Gon Want His Money"Chris Said

"Okay Its Fine I'll Just Ask My Mom For The Money Than No Bigger"I Said

"No Adrianna! She Already Think I Can't Take Care Of You...Why Would You Do That! "He Yelled At Me

"Because I Don't Want Nothing To Happen To You You Making It Sound That Way...Fuck All This Material Shit Nigga Its You That I Can't Lose"I Said

"Adrianna Do Not Tell Ya Mama Our Business And Do Not Ask Her For Money!  Ima Handle This Yo I Just Need A Few Days  I'll Make The Money Up"He Said

Still I Worried So Much And He Could See That

Im Looking Around This Mess And I Just Can't Believe Someone Would Be So Grimey I Never New People Could Be This Cruel

Fucked Up Apart It Is That We Didn't Know Who Broke In We Didn't Know If It Was A Crack Head Or Someone Who Live In Our Apartment Building All We Knew Is That We Had Absolutely Nothing

It Was A Setback Indeed Chris Had No Money So He Couldn't Get No Product To Sell So He Wasn't Making No Money

We Was Running Low On Food Fridge Because I Never Did Get The Chance To Go The Grocery Store Before Our Apartment Got Broken Into

That Month Was Bad The Next Month Was Worst…We Was Behind On All Of Our Bills And On Top Of That Chris Was Even Close To Getting Gt His Money Things Were Bad For Us

It Was Getting Bad To The Point Some Days We Ain't Even Eat….I Wanna To Call My Mama So Bad And Ask Her For Help But I Want To Upset Chris

Chris Was Feeling A Bit Hopeless He Wasn't Feeling Like Man He Wasn't Providing Like He Normally Do

But He Was Trying So Hard He Even Got A Little Job Doing Security At A Club

But Even With That Job Money Coming In Things Were Still Tight

I Was Layin On The Couch Waiting For Chris To Come Home He Normally Comes Home Around 2 In The Morning

When He Walked In He Looked So Tired He Havent Slept In Days

"Hey"I Said

"Whats Up?"He Said As He Walked In And Took His Hoodie Off

He Sat Next To Me And Said "I Got Fired Tonight"

"Chris You Just Got That Job What You Get Fired For"I Asked

"I Got Into It With A Punk Ass Nigga…I Beat His Ass"He Said
