The Group Chat 2 [Slow Updates]

[36]

'Avery !' Erin hollered as she and everyone else busted through their home. 'AVERY !' She shouted again, looking around through the kitchen and the living room but didn't find anyone but the dog.

'He's not here.' Meech shook his head while coming back from up the stairs.

'What the hell ?' Erin dropped her purse and ran her fingers through her hair. 'A-and what's this talk about Ohio, what did he say exactly ?' She asked Nijia who just shook her head.

'I don't- I don't know, he said something about leaving and he said that he'd be in Ohio-'

'For what !? What's in Ohio ?'

'E ..' Angelo stopped her with a look of sympathy. 'Calm down.'

Chandler ran over to Nijia and started to sniff at her leg. He barked and growled at her repeatedly and Nijia frowned before stepping back. 'What's wrong with your puppy ?'

'C'mere baby.' Erin picked him up and sighed. 'This is my fault.' She whined.

'No it's not a'ight. We gon find him, he's probably not even gone. Maybe he's at like a bar or sum'n.' Nyier said.

'Yeah, look I'm a go check a'ight.' Dope nodded and made his way out of the door with Kenny.

'I can't stay, I gotta pick up Harmony.' Demetrius told them, looking at the message that he had gotten from Allison.

'Um, this is important. She can't stay with her mother right now ?' Nyier asked him with an attitude.

'Nah it sound like sum'n goin on down there. I'm a be right back. ' Meech spoke as he hurried and kissed his wife on the cheek before leaving.

'I'm gonna call him.' Erin snapped herself out of thought and grabbed her phone, ready to dial his number.

Avery

My eyes opened slowly and I started to cough, feeling some kind of pain in my chest. I didn't know where I was at but it was dark and the only light that shined was the dim one above me.

'Nigha.' I heard someone laugh behind me. The laugh was weird, like Peter's from Family Guy but lighter.

Eventually that person came into view but I couldn't move because I was chained to a pole. He was a short brown skinned dude with tattoos all over his face. He was dressed in all black. 'The fuck am I ?'

'You in "Ohio" my nigha.' He laughed, using air quotations with his fingers over the word Ohio. 'Ay man why I gotta be down here with this goofy nigha bruh !? She gon have me sittin all day.' He yelled behind me and that's when I heard footsteps.

'To make sure he don't do nun .' A deeper voice answered.

'He chained up, the fuck he gon do ?'

'Ion know but him and his people known for getting out of shit and trickin people. I'm not on that shit so watch this nigha. '

'What the fuck is she even doing this for ?' I asked myself.

'You obviously fucked up, hurt somebody she loved or some shit like that ion know. I'm jus here for my money.' The lighter dude shrugged, lighting a cigarette while talking.

I looked between the both of them, noticing that they look alike but the other man was just darker. 'Y'all Nijia's people right ?'

'Shut the fuck up.' The darker one snapped, looking at me with a deadly glare. 'You fuckin talk and I'll blow yo damn brains out.'

'No you not .. cause she don't want you to or else you would've been did it. ' I nodded, sizing them both up and thinking of some way to get out of here.

'You right we can't kill you .. but chu can get some of this tho. ' He chuckled, pulling out a tazer and shocking me with it for a while.

'Fuuuucckk !'

Nyier

'He didn't answer.'

'The fuck man ?' La'Niya asked in frustration. She looked stressed and she honestly didn't need to be.

'You should sit down Niya, you know this ain't good for the baby.' I told her and she nodded, still looking angry.

'This is just bullshit, Avery didn't up and leave like that. None of this is making sense. ' She said while sitting down on the couch.

'He was angry and high when I came home and I don't know why. He didn't tell me anything. Everytime I tried talk to him he'd just tell me not to worry about anything and that everything was fine ...' Erin spaced out as if she was in thought. 'Is this my fault ?'

'Was he mad at chu ?' Nijia asked and Erin shrugged.

'I don't know ..m-maybe. He had an attitude towards me.'

'Then maybe it is ya fault.'

'What ? No it's not .' La'Niya hollered, giving Nijia an evil look. 'The fuck would you say that for?'

'Im jus-'

'Shut the fuck up.' She snapped, rolling her eyes. Nijia huffed and crossed her arms but kept quiet.

'It's my fault.' Erin started to cry softly and I shook my head.

'No it really isn't. This could be anything okay and we gon figure it out.'

Right now I was just saying anything to keep her calm. I didn't know what the hell was going to happen. I didn't know anything. But something's bound to come up and Avery better answer that damn phone of his or somebody's not going to be happy because they're about to have to deal with me.

Meech

'Bullshit.' I mumbled, shaking my head while sitting outside of my house with DNA papers and a baby.

Allison was getting into a lot of trouble with the police because of the drugs she was using around her kid. Cocaine, Meth, she was shooting and snorting shit and everything. They came and got her for it right when I was pulling up, it was sick to watch and I'm really pissed because now I have to take Harmony to the hospital and get her checked out and shit. I don't know if she was using while she was pregnant or not but she had to be because that's the only reason she moved out here. She knew that I was going to have to keep the baby. Bullshit.

The results proved that I was the father of Harmony. I was so sure that she wasn't mine and now I don't feel all that great. Angelo was right, I regret saying the shit that I said because now I got a whole child dumped on me and I don't even really know what to do about this. I didn't tell Nyier anything because I already knew how she was going to act and I didn't need that right now. I just need a moment to get some shit together but I can't even do that because I'm still worried about Avery too, plus I got two more kids that I'm already caring for, I got to make sure that they cool and that my wife is good. Shit too crazy.

I can't even look at Harmony without thinking about her insane fucking mom.

But it ain't nothing I won't handle.
