Forever My Thug

chapter 18

Diamond's POV

Florida fun was getting old for me and the kids. We were slowly ready to go back home and be with family.

"What you out here thinking bout?" KD asking coming out on the patio.

I chuckled. "The fact that you and I know both know that we can't homeschool these kids and the fact that we both need jobs. Because money is getting low." I said.

"Okay. I get a job out here. Have them transfer me from Louisiana." he stated.

I shook my head. "No. I just think it's time to get back home."

He grabbed my hands. "If that's what you want to do. Let's go."

I smiled. We went inside and let the kids know that we were going back home. We packed our clothes and gathered our things.

As I was searching for plane tickets. I got an unknown number text message.

unknown number I want my kids bitch

In the first time in forever, I was back where I started. Afraid and scary. Paranoid. KD came in the room with a bag.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

I showed him the message and he sighed. "You think Dominique said anything?"

I shook my head. "No. She's also running."

"Get the tickets and let's get home. I'm going to go get the kids." he said leaving out the room.

I purchased the tickets and we headed out because I purchased the next flight which was in a hour and a half.

My life was just getting back on track and I ain't need for it to be fucked up again but Rodney. In the airport I got another message.

unknown number you think running again is going to help you? I will always find you.

KD took my phone and blocked the number. Arriving home in Louisiana, it was 1:24 in the morning.

KD had Laila in his arms and we walked through the door. No one cut the lights on. As I was walking I ran into KD.

"Ouch." I said hitting his hard frame.

He shushed me. "What?" I whispered.

He turned around and repeatedly said go to me and the boys. We ran out the house and got back into the car. I locked the doors and he went back inside.

He had handed me Laila and the boys and I were waiting in the car. I rolled the windows down a little bit to see what he was saying.

"Whoever in here I got the police on the phone now." he said.

I rolled the windows back up and held onto Laila. He got back in the car and we pulled out the parking lot. "Call Noami." he stated.

I grabbed my phone and called Noami. Good thing I didn't put anything down.

"Hello?" she answered in a sleepy voice.

"Hey Noami. I'm so sorry to called you this time on the night but we just got in Louisiana and someone was in our house." I said not wasting a breath.

"Okay okay. Calm down, y'all are welcome to come." she said into the phone.

"We're on the way now."

I hung up the phone and we headed by Noami's. My heart was racing fast and I could hardly catch my breath.

Pulling up in her driveway, the garage door was coming up and her and Tray was standing outside.

I got out the car with Laila still in my arms. She ran up and gave me a hug. "Are you guys okay?" she asked.

"Yeah we okay." I said.

"Noami." Tray stated.

We looked at him and he came up and whispered in her ear. They both took a look at KD.

"I'm sorry Tray but someone broke into the house." I said.

He looked at Noami. "Come on guys. I know you're sleepy and Tyrone has a big bed, thanks to Uncle Tray." she said taking the boys and Laila.

They went inside and we were left outside with Tray. "Who do you think broke in your house?" he asked me.

"Rodney." I stated.

"When I went back in, it was as no one was inside but I didn't wanna know." KD stated.

Tray looked at him with a death stare. "He texted me twice while we were in Florida. Reasons of why we left." I said.

"Why didn't you go to the police?" Tray asked.

I raised my eyebrow at him. "How do I call the police on my kids father?"

"You pick up the phone to call them like you picked up the phone and called Noami." he said.

"Look Tray, I know I ain't your cup of tea but.....

"You're not." he said cutting off KD

I sighed. "Tray I need help. Everything my way is legal. He's playing dirty and you're the dirtiest person I know."

"I'm sorry. But you're going to have to go through the system on this one. I made a promise to my wife and that's a promise that I can not break. I can hook you guys up with my Lawyer, he's a bad ass and Rodney can be locked up but as for me going back to my old ways. I just can't." he said.

I shook my head. "What the hell."

"It's obviously were not getting no help from anyone." KD mumbled.

"You ain't getting shit from me. You might just get a fucking bullet." Tray threatened.

"Can we get the lawyer in the morning?" I asked.

He nodded his head. "Yeah."

"Now where are we suppose to sleep?" I asked.

He chuckled. "You and the kids can sleep in the house. I don't give a fuck where he goes." he said walking back to the house.

I sighed and looked at KD. "No one is going to help us. We have to do this by ourselves." he stated.

"I know I know. But going through the cops and shit. I never wanted to do this shit."

"Look you still have the pictures of your bruises right? And you have legal papers on RJ and Laila. We will win in the end." he said.

I shook my head. "Let's just get some sleep and meet with the lawyer in the morning." I said.

He got in the car and so did I. He tried to convince me many of times to go inside but I wasn't leaving him alone.
