STRIPPED

CHPT. 5

Naya🥂

Everyone met at my house so we could head out to the funeral together and on time. We looked like a damn rainbow, because i told everyone to wear anything but black. And they did just that.

Once my brother Marcus pulled up, i has mixed emotions. What he went to jail for wasn't his fault. But what happened to him in jail i'll never know, and how he is as a father we never got to experience but it's out of my control.

"I swear, once anything goes wrong i'm coming to get custody of her." I told him while he walker up to me.

"They let me out for good behavior and because they found out i was not apart of that mass shooting. I want my daughter. And if what i'm hearing is true you won't be getting custody of shit."

"Hey TT baby, this man is your daddy." I said to Diamond.

"I know, i talked to him already." She said jumping into his arms.

I looked up and shook my head.

"Icyss you sneaky lil hoe." I said aloud.

Once we arrived to the building everyone sat down and shared they're best memories with her.

"I remembered when my mommy said that i was her bestfriend in the whole big wolrd." Diamond said.

"I remember when auntie made my mommy smile all the time." Nyla added.

They all went around the room dying laughing at some of the memories. It was now my turn.

"I remember everything bestfriend. From Field Trips, School Dances, Prom, Graduation, the birth of our babies, first car, first everything. I love you Icyss." I felt myself starting to cry so i just walked out.

"Mommy, stop crying please." Nyla said running after me.

I hugged her tightly and promised that i'd never leave her side.

2 Months Later

"Still nothing from the hospital about what happened ?" I asked Quan. Since i wasn't family i couldn't get all of the information that he had.

"They said the bullet went straight through her skull, after we left from seeing her they said it was no more evidence she wasn't even there when i called back."

"How, we all saw her laying there. I hate how they treat us, they couldn't even give us her body for the damn funeral."

"Our girl is dead we don't need a body to prove it, we saw that damn bullet hole in her head."

"I need a new house Quan. Proably closer to you guys."

"Fuck No! Bitch you brought my sister down here and killed her. There's no evidence from the hospital because you tampered that shit! Now you wanna move with her money! Selfish Bitch!" He threw one punch and it hit me hard, i fell back a little and grabbed my face not knowing he busted my nose.

"Quan what the fuck? I know your mad but don't ever say no shit like that. That was my bestfriend, when you all left her i stayed! Your mom, dad, you and all those other family members bullied her and brought her down I KEPT HER UP WHEN SHE WANTED TO GET RID OF THAT CHILD BECAUSE YOU ALL SPOKE DOWN ON HER I HELPED HER THROUGH THAT!" I said crying, cause that shit hurt.

"Nah bitch, she told me why y'all moved. So why he ain't kill you then? Y'all both have daughters so don't make that no excuse."

"He didn't kill me because the little girl walking around out there is his FUCKING CHILD. He raped me Quan everyday since i was 12. I'm the one that set him up so y'all could kill him. How dare you say i killed my bestfriend, and whatever money you talking about? I'm not getting a dime and if i was it ALL go to Diamond." I got up walked out the room and stormed off grabbing Madison behind me.

"Ma' boys don't hit girls. He's a sad lil dude." Nyla said buckling her seatbelt.

"I know baby, DONT EVER LET A MAN PUT HIS HANDS ON YOU. Kill his ass if he do."

"Uh, mommy? You said the booty word."

"I'm sorry baby, mommy is just upset."

"Diamond got to see her daddy, Do i have one too?" She asked.

I looked back at her, and before i knew it the car went spinning and flipping.

After the car stopped, it was upside down. I seen, Icyss i started reaching out for her but she wouldn't grab me.

"I love you bestfriend. But stay here."

"Icyss, i want to come with you."

"I can't take you. It's not your time."

"Your brother is blaming me for this Icyss! I need you back! You were my backbone."

"I'll handle him when i get better love."

She started walking off and it's like i came back to my senses. But what did she mean by "recover"..I heard ambulances and police sirens. And hard banging on the car window and was knocked out of my thoughts.

"She's breathing, the baby is fine!" My heart finally started again after i heard that.

"Ma'am, we need you to stay calm. Please stay calm. Your daughter she's okay. The car seat kept her secure, just a few cuts on her arm and face but she's fine."

"Now you, your breathing irregular and we will have to get you on oxygen before you run out."

"I swear you got me in a hard damn place. That girl and her child became my damn heart within the last couple of months and now you my fucking homie hit her."

"Fuck her, you just met that bitch."

"Yeah, but you know after Carson died ain't no damn female cared for me? You know after my damn daughter died ain't no little girl wrapped her arms around me like Serenity did? They do that shit."

"Well bros before hoes. Pick a side."

"Your fucking twisted Quan." I said wiping the coke off the table he was about to snort off of.

"Why the fuck you did that shit?"

"Quan. You just lost your sister, ya baby moms is a couple days away from putting you on child support. And me? Your day one is about to walk the fuck out on you. You already pushed Jarell away like he ain't saved yo ass. Get some fucking help." I said before walking out the door.

Not wanting to go back in the house and blast his ass, i just called Naya.

"Baby, where you at?"

"This is Compton Medical Center, we have her here at the hospital. Room 187." I'm guessing the nurse said.

"What happened?"

"Her and her daughter were in a car accide- "

I hung up and speeded to the hospital. This shit was moving all to fast for me. Maybe i did need to chill out on Naya. My homeboy needs me and i'm running to a female side before his.

The hospital was packed, i walked inside to the counter to see if i could get a visitor pass, but my mind changed and i just went home.
