#12 :: A Change Of Heart.

50.

NIA

It's been about a month since I've seen or spoken to anyone. Let me explain why. Let's go back to that night where everything went wrong.

"You two know each other?" Latrell asked me.

"Yeah... Wait...you know him?"

"Know him? Lamar's my cousin."

"You're what? Is this some kind of sick joke?!"

"Woah! Calm down. No joke. It's not something I shout from the rooftops because we don't really speak. He's always envied me and my brothers."

"I feel sick." I said before walking off.

Of all the people that Latrell could be related to he's related to Lamar!!

I just needed to get out of here. I was annoyed I didn't drive. I took out my phone but the area was rubbish on signal so couldn't get an uber.

"Nia Nia!! What is wrong?" Latrell came out looking all confused.

"You really expect me not to believe you don't know? You must be in on all of this! What is this some sort of scam to get famous off of me?"

My paranoia started kicking in. I didn't know who to trust.

"Nia... I still don't know what you are on about! What scam? How do you know my cousin?"

"Oh she hasn't told you?" I heard Lamar say.

I looked and saw him walking over smiling. I wanted to vomit.

"Told me what?"

"Well are you going to tell him or should I?" Lamar said.

All of a sudden, common sense kicked in. Latrell doesn't know. This is one big unfortunate coincidence and now it looks as if I'm hiding something from Latrell!

For fuck sake!

"Well cuz... let me feel you in. Your lady friend here... is my ex."

"We never went out!!"

"Okay okay. But I was her first. I might even be her only."

"You wish!" I spat.

"Wait...You two?! This the nigga you was talking bout Nia?"

"Oh So she told you bout me." He said happily.

Latrell stepped to Lamar.

"Be glad you my cousin. Or else I would have knocked yo ass out already."

"Man fuck alla that. You squaring up?"

Latrell laughed.

"My nigga this ain't what you want."

"I've wanted to beat yo ass for a long time. So ima ask you again. My nigga... you squaring up?"

The next thing you know they're fighting. I'm screaming for them to stop and their family come running outside. Latrells brothers get him off Lamar and some next guys help Lamar up.
