2x"

I was working on this song called "Shoot or Die". Oh, did I forget to mention I sing on my spare time? Well I was thinking of some more lyrics for the song while i was standing on my block selling these rocks. You gotta do what you gotta do to get by right?

???: Aye man what you got on you?

August: What ever you need just ask.

???: You got kush on you?

August: Yeah 200 hundred a pound man.

???: Aight here

He handed me 600 hundred dollars and told me thank you then left. I was finna head back to the trap so I can check and see whats going dine until I heard screaming and yelling.

It sounded like a man and a woman, so I walked the direction I heard it coming from.

As I was slowly approaching the alley it was coming from, i heard the lady begging him to stop.

???: *Screams* Josh! Stop it! I am sorry! I didn't mean to say that out loud! *Screams*

Josh: No Bitch! You deserve this ass whoopin, you should have kept your damn big mouth closed!

So I turned the corner and run up on the nigga and bang his shit up. You don't put your hands on a woman no matter what she has done.

After I stop, I looked at the nigga and realized he worked for one of the top drug dealers out here, under the one im in.

August: My nigga! Stand yo ass up!

Josh: *stands up and tries to punch August*

August: *dodges and knocks Josh out*

???:*cries in the background*

August:*gets up and helps her* Hey it's ok ma. Lets take you home.

???: *stands up and wipes tears* Thank you sir... I... uhmmm

Authors POV

She looks at Josh and starts crying again. August pulls her into a hug and tries to calm her down.

August POV

She was crying in my chest and to be honest with you it kinda felt weird. Not weird in a bad way like weird in a good way. I felt like we had some sort of connection right now, so i had to ask shawty her name.

August: Ayee, calm down its ok. Lets take you home its getting late.

???: *sniffs a little* Yeah *moves from him and giggles a little* I'm sorry you had to go through that. I have to find somewhere to stay so.... ima leave now.

She turned around to start walking, but I grabbed her arm and turned her back around. I don't know what came over me.

August: Hey, what do you mean find somewhere to stay? And by the way, what's your name ma?

???: Oh, i'm Chandra but everyone calls me Chan and I have to cause i live with that. *points to Josh* He's my husband *sighs and looks away* Im scared to go home cause he might do something because of what just happened.

August: Ma, calm down. You can stay with me at my place.

Chandra: *looks at him with a blank expression*

August: You ok?

Chandra: Really? I mean, I don't wanna be a bother or anything?

August: Nah ma you aight. You wanna go home and get some clothes?

Chandra: Uhmm..... No ..... Do you have a shirt and sweatpants I can wear? I don't need to go back to that house.

August: Yeah let's go.

Ma was kind of scaring me right now. I wanna know what's doing dine between them two, but I do wanna get her more worked up than she already is. So I'm going to ask her tomorrow.
