Bigger Than Most

Chapter 12💚

Ghost

It's the next day and I'm at my moms crib checking in on her and my lil brother. we still looking for this nigga Kane. We got everyone of our people keeping a look out everywhere for him or anything suspicious. And the fact that two of my traps was shot up and I know that he did it, he already signed his death wish.

Over five hundred grand was destroyed in them traps each so yeah he dying.

Kev looking for a new place for his mom cause he feels it's not safe for her which is understandable. I'll do the same if it was me. But knowing mama brooks she gonna want an explanation for moving.

My moms the same way, stubborn. But she my best friend and I can talk to her about anything and get her support.

My little brother is fifteen and almost as tall as me. I look out for him especially cause me or my moms don't want him to be out here doing what I'm doing. He a smart kid, grades good and he good at football so I told his ass to stick to that shit and get out when he make it.

Right now I was sitting on the couch eating some Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal and watching Netflix.

The front door opened and my mama Valerie walked in with my little brother Antonio behind her. I stood up and went to the kitchen sitting the bowl in the sink and grabbed the bags she had and took them to the kitchen and sat them on the counter.

"Baby, I thought you would be gone by now" she said taking her jacket off and hanging it up.

"Nah, not yet mama" I said looking through the bags.

"Ain't nothing for you, get out my bags" she said smacking my hand away. "Came to see if imma cook huh, you high" lshe said washing her hands and drying them. I started smiling.

"Isn't that what he always do?" Antonio said going up the stairs.

"Go do yo homework" i yelled to him.

"Uh huh I ain't cooking today but this Sunday I am so I expect you to be here"

"Yes ma'am. How you been mama?" I said sitting at the table. She sat down across from me.

"I'm good baby, how about you? You better be going to school and not in these streets all day Anthony"

"I'm good. And ma I am. And you know we need the money cause it's helping"

"Of course baby, but you can do it the right way. You choosing this path. The wrong one at that. I don't want a call from someone saying my son been shot or killed" I sighed and leaned back in the chair. She give me this speech every time I come visit her.

"Mama I told you I'm good as long as y'all good. Y'all gone be set. Ima make sure you have what you need and imma make sure Tony have what he needs cause he need it so y'all can leave Chicago"

"And what about you? You gone stay here and rule it forever?" I shrugged leaning forward on the tables sitting my elbows on it.

"What happened to Basketball? You was great at it, Colleges still wanted you after you got arrested. I still don't understand why you gave that up" she said shaking her head.

"Ma we already talked about that, you bring it up every time I come.

I knew if I tell her about the emails I got from them colleges she wouldn't let me leave if I didn't accept one. I still haven't decided if I wanted to or not, So imma wait.

"And we gonna continue to talk about it cause you don't listen, You hardheaded" I got up and went to the fridge to get me a bottle of water opening it and drinking from it.
