Kentrell

I hung up the phone, rolling off the bed. I sighed, putting my phone back in my pocket. Arianna sat up, hugging onto my shoulders. "What happened?"

"Kendell and his friends got booked for disorderly conduct and not cooperating with the officers .. bad ass lil nigga man he don't listen"

"Bummer .. I wonder who he gets that from?" She mumbled sarcastically. "You gotta go get him?"

"Yeah. My mom got all the kids so she can't" I ran my hands down my face.

"I'm coming"

We got dressed and headed on our way to the juvenile center.

I have flashbacks of so many memories in this place. Terrible ones too. I don't want Kendell taking my path cause only at the end of that road is death. This rap shit saved me.

"Trell you cool?" Arianna asked, yanking me out my thoughts. I looked down at her hand over mine , realizing we were here.

"Yeah" I shrugged it off, putting the car in park once we arrived at the center.

We got out, walking to the probation center hand in hand.

It's like when we get 2 steps closer to being better something pull us 10 steps back. Bre ain't do nothing that day but ruin what we built all over again.

Now we back on this best friend shit. Basically friends with benefits because she let me beat it up last night. Called me over to eat it but I knew one thing was gone lead to another.

"Kentrell he talking to you" she snapped at me, getting my attention again.

I gave the officer all the information and answers he needed to get my brother, nothing more nothing less. I hate talking to cops.

The officer left, walking away wherever he went to process the information.

"You so mean" Arianna laughed, hugging me.

"Fuck these cops"

"Gaulden" someone said from behind me, making us turn around. An officer walked out with Kendell in handcuffs. He uncuffed him in front of us, giving him a baggie with his cellphone and belt in it.

Arianna and Kendell made eye contact, busting out laughing. Arianna walked away, covering her mouth. "I'm sorry this ain't funny but Kentrell so aggy"

"That in and out of jail shit ain't cute" I mugged him, walking out before both of them.

"This my first time" he whined, tossing the baggie after taking his phone and belt out.

I clicked the unlock button on the key pad to the car, unlocking the doors. "Don't make it a habit"

"Stop yelling at him" Arianna mugged me, hugging Kendell once we got to the car. "What happened little brother?"

"A nigga wanted beef and I gave it to him" was all he said.

"Sound just like you so you can't be mad" Arianna said to me, getting into the car.

I started the car, looking into my mirror "What you do?"

"I just wanted to fight but his friends fought mine too so the school had like a riot .. We all suspended but this ain't ova" he shrugged, scrolling on his phone.

"Fuck was y'all fighting for?"

"Y'all don't know?" He asked, looking at us funny.

"Know what?" Arianna asked, applying her lipgloss in the hanging mirror.
