A Productive Thought

Chapter 6

I was waiting patiently in the house for my baby and Rhythm to come back. I then heard a knock at the door and for some reason I thought it was them. I didn't think to look through the peep hole or nothing I just opened the door. When I opened the door I saw a lady who looked just like she could have been pretty back in the day. She looked like she was on crack though.

The lady was light skin with cold dark brown eyes. Her eyes looked like they killed and I ain't one to get freaked out but that shit was freaky. I stood at the door analyzing the woman before I noticed that who she was, Ms. Tangy

"Ms. Tangy?" I said snapping my fingers in her face.

"Huh?" she said looking confused and high at the same time.

I opened the door wider for her to come in. She smiled weakly before she sat down on the couch. Making herself comfortable. I went to the kitchen to get her something to drink. I grabbed some water and walked back over to the couch but she was out cold. I don't know what the hell she was doing here but I had to let her in. I mean that is my girls mama.

I stopped at a red light before asking Rhythm "you hungry?". She nodded her head no and I kept driving.

"You know we gone have to talk about this" I said with my eyes connected to the road.

It was quiet for awhile until she finally start telling me what happened. She told me about how she saw our mom and how the bitch was acting. I know this bitch didn't fuck with my sister and trust when I see her I'm slapping the shit out of her. She wasn't my mom no more, she was the bitch that birthed me. I'm no longer going to continue to feel sorry for her dumbass mistakes. I did love her but now I hate that bitch and I wish she was never around in me or Rhythm's life.

"And then she called me a crack baby so we start fighting" she said telling me about the little girl she fucked up. She start crying hysterically as I tried comforting her by rubbing my hand on her back.

"Look Rhythm" I said sighing and pulling up to my apartments. "I love you and your the best little sister that anybody could ever have. I know she fucked up but we can make it better for us and if nobody got you, I got you. We stick together, through anything cause we all we got" I said letting a tear fall to.

"I love you to" she said wiping my tear away. I pulled her in for a hug and held her for a while before kissing her on the forehead.

We walked upstairs before I put my key into the door opening it to see the bitch laid out on my sofa. I quickly ran to my room past Latrell looking under my bed for my shoebox that held my pink pistol in it. 'Found it' I thought to myself before I  ran back to the couch and cocked my gun towards her head. She woke up from the sound of my gun being cocked and she instantly start screaming.

"Aww what the hell is going on?" she asked confused.

"Bitch get yo ass off my couch!" I yelled getting angry.

"Baby stop!!" Latrell said running towards me. "Listen baby just put the gun down its gone be ok just put the gun down".

I don't know why but I start crying more and more as I lowered the gun. I watched her get up and take off running out the door. I wanted to know why the hell she was here and what could she possibly want. I haven't seen her in 2 years.

Latrell took the gun away from me. I wiped my tears noticing that Rhythm was right there watching the whole time. I fucked up and I know I did but something took over me. I fell down on the couch sitting on my ass. I saw Rhythm run to her room in fear. I wanted to say something but I wouldn't know what to say. I just sat on the couch and let the tears fill my eyes again.

"Baby" Latrell said.

I looked up at him with out saying a word. I covered my face as he sat next to me putting his arm around me laying my head on his chest.

"Look baby, she came to the door and I just let her in. I'm sorry about your--" he said before I cut him off.

"Just hold me" I said as I looked into his eyes.

He didn't respond back instead he kissed me on the forehead and held me really tight like I wanted. It was now 2 in the morning and I was tired and pissed at the same time but at least I still had Latrell and Rhythm.

My forevers.
