Nas the Don

CHAPTER 19

Nahsir

Throughout the whole jet ride I was tryna find a way to tell rae what was going on. It wasn't until the pilot had said we'd be landing in a few minutes did I find the words to say it. Idk if she didn't believe me or what the case may have been but she had yet to say anything

We got in the car and I drove as quick as possible to her mothers house

Outside on the front porch sat my niggas heat and guch watching Rae's younger brothers pass a ball between each other. Idk if they had even been told their big brother had been killed or maybe they were to young to see what was actually happening

Bypassing them rae ran through the house towards her mothers cries she sat on a small brown faded couch that must of been there for years. Surrounding her was my mom, Rebecca, and Rayland. While they all cried Rae's mom was the worst of them all she wailed loudly screaming in her broken English asking god why

"Mama what happened" it was then when rae started to cry it was finally hitting her. The truth was settling in. Although she tried answering Rae's questions she couldn't seem to get the right words out

"He was Killed rae right on the corner of 112th at 3:26am. They said no one called the police he just bled out right there and died" Rebecca finally speaks up

"Wtf was Toby doing out there at that time of night" Raegan yelled and I was wondering the same

That was one of my many blocks and only thing going on at that time of night was drug dealing. And I know damn well Toby wouldn't be involved with that shit

Excusing myself from the conversation I went outside to talk to my niggas. Pulling them to the driveway away from earshot from the twins

"Man how yo old lady holding up I know that shiy hurt I couldn't imagine losing neither one of y'all ugly muthafuckas" guch dumb ass speaks first

"Who was working 112th last night" I get straight to it

"Idk that nigga heat in charge of that shit" guch says turning our attention to heat

"Nigga Toby was working" he simply answers

"Nigga wtf you mean Toby?"

"Nigga Toby he came to me a few weeks ago asking to get put on so I put the man on"

"You serious? You know that nigga ain't even cut out for no shit like that he was in school tryna get tf up out the ho-"

"-man he was a grown ass man I ain't put no gun to his head and make him do shit he came to me. It ain't my fault the nigga got caught slipping. Little nigga shoulda tighten up. And why tf you even questioning me you don't be worried about no other nigga we put on being cut for this shit as long as you get yo money you always been good so what's the difference now?" He chuckles, "I told you guch that bitch got his head messed up"

Raegan

"Wtf Nahsir what are you doing?!" I shout as I try to pry nas off of heat. He was beating a man he consider his family into a bloody pulp

"Guch help me!" I shout as he stands by and watch

"Cmon nas you got the nigga let go we brothers chill out"

"Naw that nigga ain't no kin to me fuck you bitch yo ass dead to me" Nahsir shouts after heat who rushes off to his car

———————————-

It had been a week since the passing of my brother. I cried I wanted to die I felt numb at one point I was angry most of all I was confused. What was a good college kid like Toby doing out there and what had he ever done to deserve this. A part of me even felt guilty like maybe this was my karma for things I've done in the past.

I held a picture he had took as a senior picture from high school. I remember that day like yesterday. We were still struggling we scrapped up every penny we could to get him this white suit he just had to have. He cut his own hair allowing me to do the back which I ended up fucking up. And a friend of his had took the pictures.

He was so happy that day. I wish I could go back to moments like this just to let him know how proud I was. How much I admired him and how much I loved him

"Rae" mays voice pulls me away it was then I noticed the tears I let fall on the picture

"You hungry?" I ask while quickly wiping away my fallen tears

"No where's blessing?" She ask

"Uh he left earlier said he had a few errands"

Immediately she rolls her eyes. Ever since we had gotten back nas was barely home he'd say he was handling business with the club but may and I both knew it was a lie. With losing heat he was back in the game full time. And bodies were dropping like flies apart of me wanted to believe nas had nothing to do with that but he wasn't the same anymore. The little bit of time he spent at home he'd barely talk his eyes were cold

I tried reasoning with him about the whole heat situation but he was adamant that that was a dead situation

"Look what I found" ms.mays wide smile spreads across her face as she pulls her hand from behind her back on her ring finger held a beautiful expensive ring making my eyes bulge out my head

"Ms.may where'd you get that" I grab her hand getting a better look

"Blessings gonna propose to you"
