America

Today I'm going to see Marcos mom. I've heard she's been trying to contact me so she must have something very important to tell me. I sat on her couch as she poured me some tea. "First off I just want to say my son loved you. Even though he didn't show it"

"He never told me that" I smirked. I was kind of happy to hear that from her.

"I know cause he was afraid to tell you" she gave a slight smile "I still can't believe my son is gone. He called me the day before his death and told me he loved me and he was going to miss me. He knew he was going to die" she smiled then her tears started flowing heavy. It was a box on the table.

"What's this?" I Asked and she smiled

"Marco wanted me to give this to you. Don't open it until you get home though"

I kissed my mothers cheek. I set her groceries on her table "big brother" my sister said running from the back room

"there's my little princess" I tickled her then she kissed me on the cheek. My mother looked at me

"Emerald go to the back room" my mom said.. I kissed her cheek then hugged her tightly

"I love you" she said and I smiled

"I love you more" I stood up and my mom walked to open the door. The police walked in. Fuck!

"I didn't agree with the things that DaMarco was doing but it was a source of income" I raised an eyebrow "I'll never turn down money"

"With all due respect Mrs. Carter , but you have a husband that have an income coming in a good one at that" I looked around. Marco mom is the sweetest lady you'll ever meet but she's iffy.

"He does the same things Marco did. Whatever money I could get I would take" as she said that the man came in. She stood up "Baby" she kissed him and the man eyed me..The vibe Im getting is horrible. The way this man was looking at me made me feel very weird. Marco used to talk about how her mother would treat him since she got married. May I remind you , this woman is the sweetest thing when he's not around but she changes when her husband come around. That's why Marco had moved out and Mario went to the navy. My phone started ringing so I walked out the house. I cant be here no longer anyway I was uncomfortable.

"You have a collect call from: Emmanuel. Do you accept the charges?" the little machine lady said

"yes" I walked out the door. I got to the police station and got to the back quicker than I expected "why are you here?"

"They said questioning of Marcos death but when I got here they found a ounce of weed so they probably gonna keep me" he said putting his head down. I rubbed his shoulder

"Emmanuel" I sighed

"I know. I should of left it at home" he lifted his head up "I'm glad you're here America"

"I know. I should of left it at home" I lifted my head up "I'm glad you're here America" I smiled and she looked down at the ground

"Why didn't you call Rockell?" she asked

"You was the first person that came to my mind" I tried to put my hand ontop of hers but she moved and chuckled

"You're a fucking comedian man. You know that?" she covered her mouth and I sat up

"I'm deadass though" I folded my arms.

"I'm still not understanding why you called me? You have a whole ass girlfriend at home"

"That's what this is about? This why your mad ?"
