FIFTEEN

ASHANTI

I walked around the empty house, feeling lonely.

This felt weird.

I miss Keem.

Maybe he's just busy. Or needs space. We were together all through last week I don't blame him if he wants some space. We've been together for 3 months already, you know.

But what if he doesn't like me anymore? What if I did something wrong?

Oh God, here comes the anxiety.

Just call him, Ti, come on, its not even that deep.

I pulled out my phone and called him. It rang for a couple seconds then cut.

Did he... Did he hang up on me?

I tried to call again but it went to his voicemail.

Uh, uh. No. Haha. I must be wrong. I mustttt be wrong.

I decided to text him.

KEEM

I groaned loudly as I put my head in both hands.

What's wrong with me?

I woke up this morning and the only thing I could think about was Ashanti. Then at the trap house, I was supposed to kill two white boys for trying to beef me. Usually I'd buss a whole clip in a nigga's head just for looking at me wrong but I couldn't bring myself to do it. Gray had to shoot them both in the end before word spread that I couldn't shoot a couple white boys.

Later, Jordan was asking me wagwarn and I couldn't answer him even though I knew exactly what was wrong. Seeing Ashanti so scared two nights ago when the whole 'Gram' thing happened made me think; I don't want Ashanti to ever get hurt when I can prevent it. So if it means saving one of my opps, I'd do it.

Is this really how much she means to me? She has an impact on my work. No one even has an impact on my work, even my marj.

She hasn't said anything about me being on road but you know when you can feel what someone else is thinking just by looking at them. Yeah, I can tell she doesn't like my lifestyle.

Honestly, I don't care about what happens to me, I do everything for my gang, ride or die, and my circle is full of loyal niggas.

Whatever happens to me, happens to my bros too. If I start slacking cah I might have fallen in love with some girl I met a few months ago, its gonna affect the safety of my bros. I can't risk that. Ever. I've worked way too hard to get where I am.
