The Story of Us

IX

Rae P.O.V
You're probably wondering how I'm able to have a point of view and here's how. See as a kid, I couldn't stand neither west or east side niggas so I created my own hustle. When I finally had money coming in from all directions, I guess you can say I started making trades with both east and west side niggas. My main business though: LOANS. Now one thing many individuals in this city and outside of this city know that if you borrow money, you have until a month to pay me back. Now there's a young shorty name Ti'ana and she goes by Ti. I allowed her to borrow four racks because she's Quan's sister but that doesn't mean you get an extended time period to repay me. After a month passed, I gave her three more days and she still failed to pay me back. So, I put a price on her head for five racks. Winner get the five racks and have to leave town for about a month. WIN-WIN SITUATION. I have less users and my killer gets away with murder. Right about now, I'm at the table with my cousin Quavo.

"So how you know ol' girl?"
"Who?"
"Tiana."
"Me and her brother, we boys."
"Who her brother?"
"You know Quan?"
"Quan as in involved streetwise Quan? You, him, Q, and Whiteboii?"
"Yeah. Hol' on, how you know my whole crew?"
"Word spreads lil nigga."
"Lil nigga, who? Rae just cause yo ass a few months older don't mean you know more shit than I do."
"Listen lil nigga, I'm the one that taught you the streets."
"And? Bruh you a whole nigga out here."

I chuckled to myself and then in walked wifey.

"Rae, didn't I tell yo ass to pick up Raine at three from cheer practice?"
"Shit."
"Yeah, cause that's what you're full of. How you just gonna forget that you have a child to pick up?"
"Mane listen I was handling business."
"Business my ass Rae. Ion never ask you to do nothing but the one time I do, you can't even follow through with the request."
"Renae don't start fo'real bro."
"Don't start?"
"Here I am tryna keep feds off our backs and this how hard you make being a parent on me. YOU DO UNDERSTAND THAT THEY CALLED DCF BECAUSE YOU WEREN'T LATE PICKING HER UP RAE BUT YOU NEVER SHOWED. IT'S SEVEN O'CLOCK RAE! FOUR FUCKING HOURS LATER I WALK INTO THE HOUSE WITH RAINE. IF MY DAUGHTER GETS TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU, I'M KILLING YOU AND NO ONE WILL EVER FIND YOUR FUCKING BODY!"

See Renae is a little spicy girl. She has some Brazilian, Mexican, Black, and Indian in her. Coming from a black project baby, she got a lot of niggas chasing after her. Right about now she mad at a young nigga, but later she's not going to be mad at me. I know she loves me cause if she didn't she wouldn't put up with my dumb ways. Quavo laughing and shit, but ion think this nigga know that he will have to square up with me.

"What the fuck so funny?"
"You-u-u-u nigga. Ion see why you keep trying Renae."
"I try her because I can. And why you worried bout how I treat my lady? You need to check on Londyn since you did rape her."
"I ain't rape that bitch."
"And she ain't let you fuck her."
"Since when you give a fuck about women?"
"I don't. If it ain't Renae or babygirl ion care bout' em."

Renae walked down the hall with Raine behind her.

"Where ya'll going?"
"Out."
"Renae don't play with me."
"We going out. See if you picked Raine up, you would know that she needs a damn costume."
"Costume for what?"
"Her cheer performance."
"Who you gonna be babygirl?"
"I a-a-a-a zombie."

I looked at Renae because she knows ion like to see Raine dress like no dude. Like yeah boys wanna be zombies, but ion want her dressing like one at a young age. See at least I made up my mind when I was in middle school.

"RAE!"

All I heard was my name and footsteps. A few seconds later, my side chick bombards in.

"So when were you going to tell me?"
"Tell you what?"
"That you're involved."
"Involved with what?"
"Don't play dumb."
"I ain't playing bruh."
"Whatever. Just delete my number."

Allana left and I just chuckled cause she act like she's not replaceable. EVERYONE IS REPLACEABLE. YOU CAN'T MAKE SOMEONE STAY IN YOUR LIFE ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY DON'T WANT TO.
