Damaged Heart

chapter fifteen

11:00 that night

Mercedes

I woke up by a loud banging sound. My eyes shot open, as I thought it was a bullet. Then I heard it again and it wasn't loud enough to be a bullet. I got up,looking around to see what It might be when I saw something fly past my window. I walked slowly over to it when a rock hit it, I opened it looking out the window to see August throwing rocks. He must didn't see me cause he threw another one right at my face.

"Ouch August what are you doing.." I semi yelled, rubbing my face.

"Oh sorry, go on and get dressed.."

"For what?"

"You wanted to sell, didn't you?" He said, ugh that at 11 at night?!

"Uhh I gotta go now?" I whined.

"Yes you do, I'm not babying you no mo, if you wanted to do it then yo ass gotta come on.." He said.

"Ok ok just be quiet before my mom hear you.." I said , he nodded.

I went to my bathroom and took a quick shower. I got out, did my hygiene and got dressed . I put my hair up in a tight bun and got my keys. I locked my door and crawled out my window.

"What the hell is you doing.." He asked, I laughed. I went back in my room, I closed my window and went out the front door quietly. And went over to him.

"This girl acting like she escaping.." He said laughing. He started walking off so I followed him. I put my hands in my hoodie , it's cold at night.

"You sure you still wanna do this?" He asked. I nodded.

"Yeah I don't have time for a regular job.." He shook his head.

We've been walking for like 30 minutes before he went into a alley.

"Here put this on.." He said giving me a black bandanna. I looked at it and wrapped it across my head, he looked at me.

"This girl.." He said starting to laugh. "Put it around yo face girl damn .." He said laughing, I took it off and wrapped it around my face and fell.

"Mercedes, you need to go back home forreal.." He said sliding the bandana down to over my nose and mouth. "Not your eyes sweetheart.." He said laughing

"Well sorry if the average girl wears a bandana on her head." I said, he nodded.

"My point exactly.." He said then he grabbed my hand as we got to this trap house. A lot of people was looking at me. Dudes& girls. Then one dude walked up to August, looking at me licking his lips.

"How much?" He asked. I saw August clench his jaw.

"She ain't fo sell so nigga you better back yo ass up, befo I lay yo ass out.." He said between gritted teeth.

"Oh my bad.." The dude said blankly still looking at me. He walked past me and August eyed him the whole time.

"Come on.." He said pulling me inside. It was even worse inside. He went to a backroom.

"Wassup man um hey Mercedes.." Zane said looking at me confused. August walked up to this dude.

"Sup Roscoe .." He said giving him dap. The dude gave it back, looking at me.

"Who she? She trying to pro-" August cut her off.

"Hell naw, she wanna sell.." He said, he nodded.

"Um..well she gotta start out with you, just let her watch, she need a nickname.." Roscoe said.

"Benz?" Zane said. He shook his head.
