Oscar

I spent the night at Leilani's house and took her to work this morning. I feel all warm inside and shit.
We went like six times last night and I think my balls are bone dry, other than that it was perfect.

I pulled up to the house and the homies were outside. "Wassup my friends!" I said happily.
They all looked at me crazy.

"You okay?" Tito asked. I smiled and nodded.
"Today is beautiful, the sun his shining!" Some gunshots went off in the back.
"We're alive! We're gonna so sell some crack, it's a good life we're living guys." I said smiling again.

They all just frowned at me. "Something is wrong with spooky." Pablo whispered.
"You know how they pollute the air in the hood, I think that's what's happening." Benito whispered.

Jose shook his head, "this fool is glowing he's happy." He said smiling.
"Oh you finally got it in with Raza?" Pablo asked.
Jose smacked his lips before I could reply.
He stared at me, "That's a love glow, you got Leilani back." He was grinning, all the guys were waiting for me to answer.

I smiled, "yes I got my baby back!"
All the homies started cheering.
"We missed her little adorable ass." Victor said still hitting a blunt. "Me too." I said.
"I didn't like you with Raza." Tito said cringing.
"Leilani looks good on you, she balanced you out, you and a chola is just too fucking hood for me." He said. I laughed, he was right it was too hood.

I was drinking my 40 with the homies while we were talking about today's deal.

"Hey spooky!" I looked up and saw Mario Martinez walking up. "Sup Fool." I said looking at him.
"I'm ready." He said staring at me.
I frowned. "For what?"
"To get jumped into the Barrio, to roll with y'all, fuck it." He said with determination in his eyes.

I shook my head, "nah, you'll end up shot or in the pinta." He looked crushed.
I laughed, "I don't know try me next week."
All the homies laughed too.
"I'm serious, I'm ready to start slanging." He said.
"Nah, you got into college, you doing good homie." I said as I hit my blunt.

He shook his head, "I'm not playing spooky."
"You know I'm with your prima right?" I asked.
"I heard you split." He said.
I shook my head, "what does you being with her have to do with me being in Los Santos?" He asked.

"She will kill me if I ruin your life like that." I said.
Mario was one of the good ones, got into college got out the hood, he did everything I wanted to do.
I wouldn't let him ruin his life.

"Nah, I'm not in college anymore." He said.
I frowned. "Fuck you talking about?"
He shook his head. "Ruby's hospital bills, parents can't afford my school and his bills, so I dropped out. Came home to help." He shrugged.

"It's on Los Santos my brother is in the hospital." He said. "I need cash, I'm ready to work for it."

"Nah Mario, get a job." I said.
"You know legit money ain't gonna help with the bills spooky, we're supposed to be family now!" He yelled. I stood up.
"We are family! That's why the answer is no." I yelled back. He shook his head.
"Please." He begged.

I rubbed my head, this was a fucked up situation.
He's right, Ruby is in the hospital because of us.
The Martinez's have to pay for both Olivia and Ruby.
No real job will help.
He'd have good money if he started selling.
fuck.
If I get Leilani's cousin involved she's going to lose her shit on me.
