Jakes pov
I got up around 7 in the morning. I didn't get much more sleep last night after I left ash downstairs. I got out of bed and threw some pants on and grabbed Nevaeh to feed her breakfast.
"Good morning baby" I said tickling her stomach
"Dada" She smiled with two teeth
I got downstairs and ash was out on the couch. He was laying on his stomach and the blanket was half on him. I noticed this back tattoo he had. It was two guns with him and his brothers name in each of the guns. Aces birthday and the date he died under his.
I felt shitty for hiding that I killed his brother but I didn't know. I didn't know I was gonna meet him like I did and have a good relationship like we do. If I knew that maybe I wouldn't have killed him.
"C'mon girl let's get you some food" I said placing her in her high chair
I grabbed some baby food and put it in a bowl and some milk in a bottle for her and handed it to her. She started playing with the spoon but mostly drank the milk while I cut some berries up for her and placed that on her high chair.
I went back into the living room and he was still out. I went over to him because I wanted to wake him up for breakfast. I seen a couple other tattoos on his arm and I was looking at them but then I seen something running in almost a trail down his arm.
I looked closer and seen that he had a bunch of needle holes in his arm. What the fuck is he doing? What was he high on last night? Is he seriously a drug addict? I went upstairs to see if Rico was awake and he walked out of the bathroom and jumped.
"Oh hey man" he said fixing his towel
"Ash is here. He crashed on the couch" I said
He looked at me kinda confused. I wasn't his friend before that and he thought I hated him along with ace and I did but things are different now he needs me.
"Why is he here?" He asked
"Cuz he showed up in the middle of the night banging on the door. He was covered in blood and he was high on something"
"Wait blood what the fuck?" He said
"He tried killing this dude from another gang cuz he's in love with this girl he's been seeing casually" I explained
"Dam he's what 15? 16?"
"Try 14 Rico" I glared
"Shit 14 and he's in a gang and almost getting girls pregnant?" He said shaking his head
"Yeah and I think he's an addict. Bro he has track marks. I think he's-"
"Shooting up are you kidding he's 14?" He freaked
"Yeah man I know but he's got them all over his arms I think that's what was wrong with him last night. He was angry one minute and crying about her then laughing the next"
"He needs some parents"
When he said that I kinda make this face. I was trying to be his guidance. I was more like his older brother now since he doesn't have Ace anymore. His world has fallen apart since. I felt like an asshole for killing him. But I did what I had to do.
"Don't tell me your trying to be his big brother or something" he said rolling his eyes
"I don't know man just come check his arms out" I said ducking back downstairs
When I got down their He wasn't on the couch anymore. So I went into the kitchen and he was sitting on the counter talking to Nevaeh and eating some cereal.
"Hey man how are you feeling?" I said patting him on the back
"I'm feeling shitty"
"From what?" I asked filling a cup with coffee for him
"Withdrawal" He chuckled drinking his coffee
He must have been doing drugs. Drugs are fine I do them but I don't shoot heroin in my arm daily. I'm gonna beat his ass myself.
"From what?" I asked again
"Drugs" He said hopping off the counter
I grabbed his arm and pulled him back. I held his arm up to him so he knew I knew what he was doing.
"What kind of drugs"
"Who cares Jake" he said snatching his arm back
"I care Ash. are you shooting fucking heroin?" I yelled
"Dam man alright fuck" he yelled back
"Are you Cuz you seem to do it a lot considering your arms are covered in needle marks and your veins are shot"
"I'm shooting up alright I have been"
"Since?"
"Since Ace died. Glass does that shit haven't you noticed how fucked up the gang always is? How they have marks everywhere" he said like I shoulda known
"Ash you shouldn't be doing that shit you almost killed some guy last night"
"You think I don't know what I'm doing Jake? I know I got high before I did that shit I'm usually high"
"Ash man please" I said leaning against the wall
"What's your problem bro? Your acting like your my dad or something"
"I just don't want you to do the wrong shit man I don't want you ending up like me"
"Well I've never seen my dad other then behind a sheet of glass so I don't need a fucking daddy to boss me around and my brothers dead so don't try and be him either" he spat
He started grabbing his things and headed for the door. I ran over to the door slamming it shot before he even got it open enough to leave.
"Ashton" I hissed
"What Jake fuck man" he yelled
"I'm not trying to be your fucking father or Ace. I know I'll never be ace and he was all you had and he's dead now. I'm so fucking sorry Ash I really am. But you need to know that shooting up and being apart of this whole gang shit at 14"
"Sounds like your trying to be my parent and that's not how this is gonna be Jake if you wanna be a parent go teach your daughter never to get into this shit it's to late for me" he spat before leaving
Rico walks over to the top of the stairs. He looked at me and I looked back. I'm not trying to be his dad. I guess I came on a little to strong but I don't want this life for him.
"Dam man" Rico said
