Married To The Game

Chapter XXI (21)

CHRIS

I couldn't believe it. She got up and ran to him like I wasn't there. Its like she said fuck me. That's when it all came back to me. The name, the date, everything.

Marie was Ms. Campbell's first name. Ms. Campbell was Rob's mother. And the date was the same date Rob had tatted. A nigga feel stupid for not knowing.

I don't know why but I was kind of hurt. I know it was way before I even met Kayla, but damn me and Rob been down since jittybug days. Him and my brother Anthony was bestfriends. I can't believe they kept something like this from me. And on top of that she lied.

"Yall got that." I simply said as I stood up and walked pass them. I fastened CJ in, got in and drove off I headed over to Vaughn's house.

*Knock Knock Knock*

"I'm coming!" I heard Janae yell.

"Hey Vaughn." She said as she locked the door and grabbed CJ from me.

"Everything's alright?" She asked in a worried voice.

"Nah, not really." I replied.

"Hold on let me go get Vaughn." She said as she walked upstairs. A few minutes later, they both came walking down stairs.

"Wassup Bruh?" We clapped each other up. Janae put both Marques and CJ in the play pin and sat down on the couch next to Vaughn.

After telling them everything starting from that night Kayla came clean up until just now at the graveyard, they sat there in shock.

"Damn I didn't know Kayla was hiding secrets like that." Janae said.

"Shit fuck that, I can't believe Rob will, man we been down since elementary that's suppose to be our boy. I know Ant turning in his fucking grave right now." Vaughn snapped.

"Hold on bruh lemme go get dressed." He added before getting up.

VAUGHN

Man this world is getting crazier and crazier. I thought to myself as I washed my face and brushed my teeth. I decided to wear something similar to what Chris had on like we did when we were younger. Instead of black trues i wore grey ones with my grey hoodie. Instead of concords, i wore my grey,black & white Retros. When I finished getting dressed, I brushed my hair and put on my grey and black beenie. I grabbed my phone and keys and headed downstairs.

"I'm keeping the boys, we might go to the mall or something so can you bring his car seat and stroller in." Janae asked Chris. He then walked out.

"Bae promise me you'll be careful and stay outta trouble." She told me as she wrapped her arms around my neck.

"I don't make promises ma. You know that, but I'll try." I told her.

Every since I lost my brother. I never made another promise. The day he got killed he promised our OlGurl and little sister that he'll be back and he never did.

*FLASHBACK*

ANTHONY

"Where you going Anthony, you're gonna miss dinner." My mom said.

"No I'm not ma, I just gotta go to house and get something." I told her.

"Noooo Ant, don't go!" My baby sister whined.

"MyMy Ima only take 10 minutes, Ima be back just in time to tuck you in and read your story." I kneeled down to her level.

"Pinky promise?" She said with her pinky out.

"Pinky Promise." I hooked my pinky onto hers.

"Now go pick out a book." She then ran upstairs.

"Anthony you gotta stop getting her hopes up high." My mama said.

"Come on now ma lets not go there, I promised yall Ima be right back. I love you!" I then left the house.

VAUGHN

That night Ant didn't know he had niggas watching him. He had tons of duffle bags full of kilos stashed in his apartment. That's something everybody wanted and was willing to kill for.

I had got a phone call from Chris telling me to hurry up to Ants apartment. When i got there, the door was kicked in. I heard Chris screaming. "NOOOOO ANT MAN GET UP! GET UP BRUH WHO DID THIS!?" When I made my way into the bedroom Chris was on the floor and Ant was in his arms gasping for air. Blood was everywhere. "I'm" gasping "Finna leave." And just like that he was gone right before my eyes. I fell to the ground. Chris closed Ant eyes and grabbed his picky finger. "Ima find them niggas man!" He cried and didn't let go until the police, ambulance and crime scene investigation people came. Until this day we still haven't found out who did it.

*FLASHBACK OVER*

JANAE

Its 1:32 a.m and I still haven't heard from Vaughn or Chris. I just put the boys to sleep and I'm laying in his shirt waiting for him to walk through the door. I eventually drifted off the sleep.
