Their was pounding on the door that woke me up. I jumped up from the bed and stumbled my way to the door tripping over baby toys and shoes before I even got to the bedroom door.

I grabbed my gun out of the draw near the front door. You never knew who it was in this neighborhood. Especially when someone is pounding on your door at 3 in the morning.

I opened the door keeping the gun in my waistband. When I opened it it was Ash. He was covered in blood and flustered. His blue eyes were all red and he was out of breath.

"What the fuck ash" I said

"I went to her house man. This girl I've been fucking around with her and I are like kinda a thing but not really and I think I'm in love with her man" He whined

"What about that girl who's having your baby?"

"Not mine" He said shaking his head

"Let's talk about why your covered in blood" I said pulling him inside before the neighbors woke up

He walked inside. His timbs were all muddy from running in the muddy rain. His blonde hair was soaked and the blood was just all over him. He lifted his shirt up and took his gun out of his waistband throwing it on the coffee table.

"Woah bro did you kill someone?" I asked

"Almost"

I walked over to him and grabbed his shoulders. He was in and out of it. He looked super high in something. He was sweaty and slurring shit, stumbling around.

"Are you high ash"

"Maybe" He chuckled

"Let's get you cleaned up and you can tell me the story" I said guiding him quietly upstairs

I put him in the bathroom and he started stripping down. I left the room to grab a towel and some of my clothes for him to wear cuz I was gonna let him stay the night and shit.

Grace and my baby were still asleep when I walked in which was great. I quietly opened the closet and turned the light on grabbing some sweats and a white tee shirt, some socks. I left the room and he was standing their staring st the wall in his boxers.

"Bro get in the shower" I said turning it on for him

"Alright" He said

He threw his boxers out the shower and started washing himself up I assume. I placed my clothes for him on the counter and I grabbed his bloody ones and threw them in the wash.

I grabbed him some water and put that next to his clothes. I waited outside the door for him so I could get him down to the couch and relax. He came out of the bathroom and he looked so young. His hair was wet but he had it pushed back and he was all short and in my baggy clothes.

He was just a kid and it sucked he had this kind of life. I remember this happening to me when I was that young in and out of foster care and shit. The kids 14 dogging bullets, doing drugs, having sex and getting girls pregnant. 

"C'mon man I got you a couch"

"This girl man I don't get it. What does being in love feel like?" He asked

"Being in love Dam man that's deep" I said running my hand over my face "being in love feels like your heart is swollen and theirs butterflies in your stomach. You feel like you'll kill anyone who lays their finger on her and all you wanna do is keep her safe and protect her and give her the world. When you look at each other and it's like you two are the only people in the room"

"Woah that's deep" he chuckled

"Yeah man but if this girl makes your heart swell and your little guy grow your in love" I winked

"She always makes him grow I think it's just being 14" he laughed leaning back in the couch

"How old is this girl?"

"She's 14 too"

"Wow finally staying with someone your own age?"

"She's got big tits for 14 so I gave it a try" He said in defense

"Who did you almost kill?"

"This kid he's from another gang and when I went over to her house he was on top of her trying to fuck her and shit"

"Why aren't you mad at her?" I asked

"We're not exactly exclusive but I hate the kid and when I seen him all over her I didn't like it I felt like my insides were in flames and I grabbed my gun cuz it was already in my hands. I was super high at that time and I just started screaming and I shot this kid in the leg it woulda been the heart but he moved" he shrugged

"Dam Ash you gotta chill you don't wanna go to jail"

"The girl doesn't even like me like that I don't think she's been out fucking dudes. Like I knew she was and it didn't bother me but then when I seen it actually happened I didn't like it I went crazy"

"I know man your whipped" I joked

"Shut up before I kill you" He groaned

"Don't be all embarrassed I fell for grace when I was 14"

"Great now you have a baby together"

"Kids aren't that bad"

"I couldn't be a father, I've been watching my nephew but dude I am not ready"

"I wasn't at 16 either but I really cleaned my act up"

"Your in a gang for one and for second this sounds like a talk when I actually got a girl pregnant"

"We've had this talk twice already seems like a little soon" I laughed

"Yeah I know" he said rolling his eyes

Ash and I were really bonding. Ash was like 14 and I was only 17 but he's doing all the shit I was doing when I was his age. I can see him following in the path ace and I were in. He hasn't knocked anyone up yet which is good but we've had a few scares. I feel like I have to be some what of a guidance to him maybe it's cuz I'm a dad but he doesn't need to be in this fucked up situation.
