Material Girl (Chapter 9)

***5 months later***

Drea's Pov

Lately me and Vonte have been doing good. But I can't help but think he is hiding something from me. He leaves more constantly and has been stressed.

I walked into his room. I heard the water run. His phone was laying on the nightstand and he left it unlocked.

So slow.

I'm wrong for this, I know. I started to check his phone and looked through his calendar and I seen a bunch of shit.

1/10 Pickup @ 7pm
1/25 Meeting @ 12am
1/30 Drop off @ 8pm

The f*ck?

Isn't this what thugs and shit do?

Devonte's in a gang? Who even does that gang shit anymore?

Why didn't he tell me?

I waited until he got out the shower. I heard the water shut off. He walked out the bathroom.

"What's this?" I asked in curious but sarcastic tone.

"You've been looking through my phone!," He nearly yelled.

"Why didn't you tell me you were in a gang?!" I yelled in a whisper, not wanting Bri or Ian hearing me.

He just stood there quite. His body still had little droplets of water on him.

"So, you're just gone stand there?" I asked getting mad.

"Man, its whatever, it's not really what you call a gang" He carelessly said shrugging his shoulders.

I scoffed.

"Unbelievable I don't care what it is, it's dangerous! You think it's a game. I don't want to find you dead, you ha-," I shouted.

"Shutup, damn! I know what I'm doing. Its just drugs like weed and I'm doing for the family!" He yelled.

Family? Doesn't he get it? Is he dumb?

I'm done.

He never told me.

What if he's in trouble?

I've asked on many occasions.

I could've helped.

Who knows what he got himself into, he isn't poor and God knows his family isn't either and he's here on an athletic scholarship.

I packed my a few of my things. I need space. I'll get the rest of my stuff later. "Where are you going?" He questioned.

I was quite.

He mumbled something under his breath.

I walked out and slammed the door. I'm leaving, I already know a few people looking for a roommate.

I got my keys and drove to the bank. I had to park a block back because no parking was available which made sense because there were barely cars on street.

Maybe I should just leave.

I placed my head on the wheel and sighed.

This is too much.

I got out my car and locked it.

It was getting late and starting to get dark. The streets were so silent. As I was walking you could hear the click of my pumas. Where's everybody at?

I was almost at the bank when I hear a bunch of boys behind me.

I wore pumas on the wrong day.

"Ayo ma, come over here," A heard a deep voice say.

I continued to walk.

I'll beat someone's ass.

I heard one of them laugh.

Shit.

"Juice, go ahead," I heard the same voice said.

Juice? Tf?

I started speed walking, almost there.

Suddenly I was knocked to the ground. Who the fuck?!

Everything was blurry.

"Missed me baby?," A deep voice said. A familiar one too.

Isaiah ?

Shit.

A cloth went over my nose and I blacked out.
