"Joey wake up," Lorraine kept shaking him.
"Your phone is ringing," Joey still didnt budge.
Lorraine answered it.
"Hello," Lorraine said with an attitude
"Hey is Joey there," she looked at him.
"Why," Lorraine said getting mad.
"Oh nothing just tell him Jayla called," Lorraine just hanged up with response . She looked at Joey as he slept.
"Joey wake up,"her ton of voice this time made him do as told.
"What," he said grabbing his spare clothes from under her bed.
"One of your friends called," she put emphasis on friend.
"Steez," he asked hoping it was.
"Try again," she tossed the phone to him then went to the bathroom.
Joey left before she came back from the bathroom.
Brooklyn was nice today; not too hot but not too cold. Kids were playing cards, dice, and jumping rope. Old heads were sitting on the porches reminiscing on the old days and when gas was a dollar. With all the happiness in the air Joey still felt cold; empty.
"Aye have you seen Dye lately," Joey turned around to see the same chubby darkskin girl he saw three days ago.
"Nah wassup," he said looking at his phone which read Dye.
"He was suppose to call but never did," Joey only nodded as a response to her statement.
"Well tell him I said Hi," she said before she gave Joey a weak smile.
"Sure," Joey nodded then walked away.
He proceeded home cold and lonely. He got home to broken glass and walls busted in. He just walked right past all of it (he was use to it ). The dysfunction was normal when HE was around. He got to the fire escape to smoke his already rolled blunt.
If Joey wasn't in such a daze he would have saw Cassie smoking A thick L. She was at a stage of calmness by the time she saw him so his presence wasn't a big deal. When he finally caught wind of her she was leaving into her home.
"Aye," he mumbed. Cassie turned around to look at him.
"I seen your friend today," Cassie just looked at him. He nodded.
"What's her name," She just shrugged. he nodded.
"Listen I heard what happened," Cassie said dryly. He looked at her confused.
"Just keep it down," She said looking past him," Ms. Rose said she will call 911," He nodded
"I know you are not talking hoe," he had a sinister smile painted on his lips.
"Excuse me," she was shocked.
"How are you going to fuck Steez And Kwon," his smile spread more.
"All we do is hangout and Kwon tried me I never gave him any time let alone my body," He nodded.
"Sure," he said with sarcasm present. She looked at him then slammed her window.
Cassie rushed to her phone and cussed out Steez. She was furious at how much he was like everyone else. She laid her bed and drifted off into her own mind. Where she fell into her own mind deeply.
