Exiled

Nazeer 25

Last night was crazy as fuck.... not talking about that shyt with Lucci, because fuck that nigga but once I got back to Cobi's house let's just say things got interesting. From the almost live sex show between Victor and Tripp, the almost fight between August and Jerell, Quran getting super drunk and showing his dick (no lie I was impressed), and that situation with Clévon that I really didn't want to get into.... all in all it was the best night I've had in a while. When we got back to my house I saw Lucci and while he probably thought the reason I was staring at his ass was because I wanted him back or something, the truth was I was thinking of all the ways I wanted to beat his ass for that little stunt he pulled. To be honest, I think we could've worked past the cheating shyt had it been anyone other than my cousin, but I wasn't about to worry about his slut ass... I had more pressing issues to worry about and I wasn't going to let him ruin a single second of my summer vacation. Me, Jacobi, Semaj, and Quran all walked into my room and Jacobi started rolling up a blunt while Quran and Semaj walked out to the balcony.

"Y'all aren't going to be beefing all summer are y'all? I mean I know what Lucci did was fucked up but it wouldn't be right to cut that nigga out the group....." Jacobi said looking at me and I shrugged.

"I'm not sure yet.... I really don't wanna be around his ass and you know how I am Cobi, I'm not the type to argue and all that extra shyt, I'm just going to leave and not look back. Yeah last night he had me out of my element but that's only because of WHO he cheated with..... my fuckin cousin, this entire time he would be fuckin that nigga only to come home and lay up with me, that's beyond foul man. But it's coo..... I'll find someone who appreciates me." I said wanting to change the subject.

"Like Clévon?" Jacobi asked smirking and I quickly glanced at Semaj to make sure he wasn't listening because the last thing I wanted was for Semaj to go back to his cousin and let him know what was said. "Ayy no shame in admitting it, them Cunningham men are dangerous." Jacobi said smirking.

"Nah it's not like that with Von.... it's like I could see me and him on some best friend type shyt, not like how you and me are.... but like you're my bro I come to you for life advice and shyt like that but with Von I feel like I can talk to him about relationship stuff...... shyt you have no business talking about because you are the worst in relationships." I said laughing.

"Look that shyt last night had nothing to do with me, we were all playing the game and you know August talks shyt especially when he's winning.... Jerell is a sore loser and August is a horrible winner so that made for a bad combination." Jacobi said shrugging.

"And when you and August snuck off when y'all thought everyone was sleeping?" I asked and Jacobi smirked.

"Bro I swear to God, right hand on the Bible we didn't do shyt but lay in my bed and talk.... which is the danger of August, he can get me to open up like no other person....." Jacobi said.

"Bro why don't y'all just get back together? It's clear that you're not really feeling Jerell and I'm not going to lie you were at your best when you and August were together." I said seriously, I had other reasons for wanting Jacobi to get back with August the main one being that Jerell was a gold digger/ super hoe but Jacobi kept him around for reasons beyond me.

"Because I'm afraid if we were to get back together and break up...... it doesn't matter. Wassup Lucci." Jacobi said looking at my door and Luciano was standing there trying to look remorseful but I already knew what was up, I walked out into the hall closing the door so them nosy ass niggas wouldn't be in my business.

"Whatever you're about to say save it, Lucci, I already know you're about to go see De'Vaugh, he called and let me know..... so whatever lie you're about to come up with I don't wanna hear it. But I'm telling you right now IF De'Vaugh forgives and he takes you back which I'm praying he doesn't trust and believe I'm going to be watching you like a hawk, waiting for you to fuck up." I said staring into his eyes.

"Nazeer I'm sorry....." Lucci said but I had already slammed the door in his face. A few minutes later we were sitting on my balcony, smoking and Quran was trying to convince me and Cobi to come to Ohio with him, Semaj, and some dude named Torique to Ohio later this week.

"Look it's a little over an eight hour drive and the more people that come the quicker the drive will seem, I promise when we get there I'm going to show y'all niggas a good ass time, I know a couple parties that'll be going on and those parties are always legit." Quran said.

"And where will we be staying while we're there?" Jacobi asked and I could see a smart ass comment ready to roll off his tongue so I decided to intervene before they started arguing.

"I can ask my dad to get a hotel, I'm actually supposed to be meeting up with him a little later because the funeral is tomorrow and I know he won't have a problem with it." I said stopping a fight before it started. We sat out there smoking and talking about life and everything else, basically chillin. "We should hit the Quarry tomorrow." I said trying to keep the subject away from anything that might cause an argument between Quran and Jacobi.

"Ayy Naz, come here real quick." My stepdad called and I quickly got up, I was high as fuck so I really hoped he didn't talk for too long because when I was high I found everything to be ten times funnier. I walked out into the hallway and he was standing there nervously. "Uhh..... I just wanted to let you know that your mom will be back in a couple minutes so you might wanna clear your friends out." He said and nodded because I knew my mom would want to talk to me about our last conversation.

"Is she still...... upset?" I asked looking into his eyes and he shrugged.

"Naz, look what you told her.... it really upset her, given how things went down with your dad I know hearing that couldn't have been easy for her. So just give her some time....... but just know my opinion of you hasn't changed, you're still my kid and I still love you." He said and I nodded.

"But that's the thing..... she hates my dad so much that she won't even let me talk to him. I don't know what happened like I know bits and pieces but I wanna know the whole story, you know I'm mature enough to handle the truth but whenever I even think about bringing it up I get cussed out." I said looking into his eyes.

"You're right Naz you are mature enough to handle it so, I'll talk to your mom and see if she'll be mature enough to tell you her side of the story, aight now clear them out so I don't have to hear your mom's mouth." He said smirking. After everybody went home I was sitting in my room waiting for my mom, I knew she was home because every time she walked past my bedroom door I would hear her high heels and when I opened my door suddenly she stopped walking past. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore so I decided to go to her instead and found her in her office typing away at her computer.

"Ma......" I said quietly and her eyes never left the screen.

"What do you want Nazeer?" She asked irritated and I really wasn't in the mood to deal with her attitude so I walked out before I said something that would've got me smacked. I walked into the kitchen were my stepdad was cooking and my stomach gave him a standing ovation because he rarely cooked but when he did that shyt was superb.

"What's the special occasion? I mean I'm not complaining or anything but you only cook when you got some good news so what's going on?" I asked sitting at the island that was in our kitchen.

"We're having a guest over and I wanted to whip something up real quick, but you mind going to get your mom and Lucci and let them know that dinner is almost ready?" He asked and I nodded, I found Lucci in his room trying to cover up a mark on his neck and I quickly told him dinner was almost ready before walking out, I really hoped that De'Vaugh didn't but more likely than not he did. I got my mom and we were all sitting at the table waiting for our special guest, we sat there quietly until the doorbell rang and I looked at my stepdad who was already on his third cup of bourbon even though we haven't started eating.

"I guess I'll get it....." I said getting up and walking to the door when I opened it and found my dad standing there I was confused as fuck until Lucci's dad joined us and offered him his hand.

"Naz you were right, you have the right to know what happened and I figured this was the best way to clear the air." Lucci's dad said and I stood there shocked because this was the last thing I expected to happen.

"After dinner, we're going to Atlanta cause we gotta be at the funeral early." My dad said and I nodded.

"What's taking so lon......" My mom said walking out into the foyer and I could see the fire building in her eyes. Yeah, this wasn't about to go well..........................
