F.A.M.I.L.I.A

The Family Business pt. 3

~Jaya~

Long time no see, I said opening the door for my god brother. Mhm, you home alone? Should I be? Don't do that. Do what Dominic? Act like you didn't send Caine to Houston to check up on me. Why would I send Caine anywhere to do anything? And furthermore, the last time I heard from you which was what 2 years ago, you said you had it under control so again why are you here? He sniffed a little bit before sitting down on the couch. The Haitians...Haitians. Yeah, I messed up he told me to pull out New Orleans and I didn't. New Orleans, Dominic please tell me you ain't do no stupid shit? He sat there with his head.

DOMINIC PLEASE TELL ME YOU DIDN'T DO WHAT I THINK YOU DID, I yelled at him? He looked up at me. How much is the bounty on your head? No amount they just want me dead. Ugh Dominic I said shaking my head. I am sorry I should have left it alone when Caine told me to, but I didn't think he was serious. When someone tells you shit, chances are they ain't playing. Look Bro I can't...no don't say that you have to help me. I did help you, I gave you Houston! Houston, Not New Orleans, Oklahoma, or even Mc Allen, Houston only. What did I tell you when you left Atlanta? You told me not to make any enemies. Exactly the Haitians ain't just enemies that's like fucking with mob or the mafia you don't do that shit. And the Mexican's too, you lucky yo ass even made it out of Texas instead of hanging from the fucking border patrol bridge.

Babe is everything okay Li said coming into the living room. What's up D, you in from Houston? Something like that he said looking down. Babe you good she said rubbing my back. Yeah, I am good. Listen Dominic I can't help you, you gotta go to your father. No! Seriously Jaya! Seriously D, I can only do so much and the Haitians are not in my realm. The only way out of this is him and then you can let go of Houston cause I guarantee they still gon be looking for you. Maybe I can talk to them and...Talk nigga they want you dead. They don't want no money no territory or nothing they just want your life, what makes you think they would sit down and listen huh? I don't know I just don't want to go to him. He's your father why wouldn't you want to go to him. He doesn't accept me as what I am and that's a man, I am not the little girl he once knew he said letting a tear slip.

We knew since he was little that he was different. I mean he well when he was a she, she never really liked anything girly. Like nothing at all, no pink, no fru fru shit, nothing she was always with the boys playing, climbing trees and shit. And let's not even talk about when she hit puberty it was like the world was over. I still remember when she told me that she didn't want to be a girl anymore. I wasn't shocked, but I was kind of hurt because I couldn't understand why she'd want to change herself. I mean she could have stayed a girl, but that wasn't her path and eventually I accepted that she wanted to change and that she would be happier being what she really wanted to be.

Baby, Li said in my ear. Yeah! There's nothing you can do for him? I don't want to be in that position with him. That's your family though you always talking about family over everything. Family needs you right now Baby. I looked at her and she nodded before speaking again. That's your family, blood or not and he needs you.

~Dominic~

I'll help you D but after this, Familia ain't for you. I know I just wanted to follow in his footsteps so bad! She let out a sigh before looking at Li, can you call up the jet for us. Yeah, I'll do it for you she said leaving the living room. I am sorry Jaya! DD...Dominic I am sorry. It's okay you can call me that. I just don't want to have to bury you, if you fucking with the Haitians that is what will happen. It wasn't supposed to happen I got mixed up with... A girl! I nodded everything was good, she knew about my past me being a female and transitioning into a male and she was fine with it. So, what went wrong? Her family wasn't fine with it, they said their daughter wouldn't be with some kind of freak like me. Did you love her? I nodded I do, and I just want to be with her. It wasn't about the territory or anything like that it was because of her. Yeah, I tried to pull out of New Orleans when Caine told me to, but I love her, and I couldn't just leave without her.
