The Cover Up

~23~

*Aubrie's P.O.V*
When Cindy called and told us about Aniyah I didn't know what to think. My first thought was, was it real? I cant think of anybody that would want to hurt us or harm our family, but it has to be someone after us. I hope my mama doesn't think we believe her wore out story about a random car accident. I don't know about anyone else but I know that I don't believe that and I believe who ever took Aniyah tried to kill my mother. But who and why? My thoughts were interrupted when I was getting ready to pull into the house. I got out and told everyone else to stay back for a minute. No cars where here but they usually aren't, but I just don't trust anyone anymore do I grabbed my gun.

"Woah, what the hell you gone do with that? Where you get that from? You mean to tell me you had a gun. You be killing people with that gun don't you?" Cory asked with a serious look on his face.

"No, but do you want to be first."

"Carry on." He said as I rolled my eyes and slammed the door.

I walked up the steps slowly with the gun held out in front of me. I pushed the door open a little and seen Jacob sitting down with his head in his hands.

"Oh, its just y'all." I said as everyone looked at me crazy.

"What? I said looking confused.

"I've never known you to have a gun." Jacob said taking the gun from me and sitting it on the table.

"Me either, but hey girls." I smiled and gave them a hug.

"Heyyyy!" Lucy said excitedly.

"Hey boo! Renae said.

"I thought you told the rest of them to come too."

"I did they're outside I told them to stay behind so I can check out the scene first."

"For what it's just us."

"I know but I just had to check to make sure everything was straight first."

"Do you not trust me? Like I would ever hurt Aniyah. I promise, I would never do anything to hurt her, break her heart, make her stress, make her worry. None of that, I just wish she was with me right now. We'll be cuddled up laughing and talking about everything, her telling me about her day and me telling her about mine." He said looking down as I seen him begin to tear up.

I never knew he cared about her like that. They only known each other for about a day. He really cares about her. Somebody like him wouldn't even be helping us right now, they wouldn't care about her. He has tooo many females hitting his line everyday and that's no secret but it shows that he's not like everyone thinks he is by still being here.

"I'm sorry. How can I trust anyone right now."

"I know but you can trust me." he sighed. "Just go get everyone else." He said as he walked into a room where the rest of the crew was.

I sighed and walked out the door to get Brie, Ant, and Cory...but I didn't see them.

"Finally." Brie said as they came from behind the house.

"Finally my ass. Where are the cars?"

"You know I had to hide the cars stop acting." Brie said with a attitude while they walked past me and into the house.

"Lord give me strength. Well patience because I'm afraid if you give me strength I might just beat a bitch to death. Not even talking about my sister anymore but she better lose her attitude before she catch all this anger. Amen." I mumbled to myself and walked into the house.

*Jacob's P.O.V*
I'm not no capping ass nigga so I cant cap and act like Aubrie didn't hurt my feelings by not trusting me and thinking I had something to do with Aniyah being taken. I finally felt like I found love at first sight. It may seem like I know nothing about her even though it is correct that I just met her yesterday, but no one knows how much Cindy told me about Aniyah and even her dumb ass ex Chris. I've been hearing about her for years. Cindy and Jaylen just made I official 7 months ago but before then we was around each other all the time and all she would talk about was Aniyah.

I couldn't wait to lay my eyes on her and see if she was as beautiful as Cindy showed me pictures of and told me about. I had to go into the room to calm down a little so no one will see a real nigga cry. When I entered I seen niggas sitting on the floor, on the bed and standing up. Damn its a lot of them. It's Odell, Michael, Tevin, D-man, Wiz, B Smyth, Jordan, Keith, Rotimi, Trey, Kelly and Lucien, in one room. Its too many niggas in here and its hot. I took a seat beside Tevin on the bed and sighed heavily.

"What's up man? You straight?" Tevin asked.

"Yeah, I'm just ready to find my baby." I smiled just thinking about her.

"Your baby? You in love dawg?" D-man asked

"Man, I don't know. I know I love her."

"Love her? Didn't you just meet shawty yesterday feel." B asked

"Yeah, b-" I was cut off by all of them laughing.

"But nothing." Kelly said laughing

"Why you worrying about her? I thought you was stuck on shawty that Cindy been telling you about for years." D-man asked

"That is shawty I been talking bout' for years." I said getting irritated.

They all looked at me like for real.

"For real." I said

"Damn man, we gone help you get her back dawg." Michael said.

"Thanks man, we just waiting on Jaylen and Cin-" I said but was interrupted by Cindy yelling.

"Where his long hair, long neck, yellow-black-ass at?" She yelled storming through the house.

"Oh shit." I said to myself

She finna kill me. She think it's my fault but it's really not. Well, it is but it isn't. I should have been there with here but Amber wanna' pop Up at the last minute. She knows how I am with her. I can't resist that, I mean  what nigga would. I should've just stayed focused on Aniyah and forget all about her. If she finds out why I couldn't make it she'll think I'm just like everyone else.

I'm not like them niggas. Well, normally I'm not. I wouldn't do anything to harm or break Aniyah'a heart but I did just that. Even though she hasn't given my her heart yet, she has mine. And doesn't even know it. I know I sound soooooo crazy for loving someone already and just meeting them yesterday. Soon you'll see why I say what I say about Aniyah. She's truly wonderful, I'm just amazed by stories.
