Thanks so much for the support b!💜



His upper lip moved vertically forming a ‘w’, his tongue darted out and harassed his lower lip. I haven’t been able to get my eyes off his mouth for the past few minutes and all I can think is; wow, he talks weird.

‘Zayn’. Seth’s voice brought me back to the room and I peeled my eyes away from its bizarre object of focus to look at him.
‘What’s your suggestion?’ He asked.
I turned back to tattered to see him giving me the stink eye. I took out the unlit cigarette from my lips.

‘Whatever you say’. I said to Seth. He was a pretty nice guy, as nice as a young drug lord could be.
‘So we just have to find the right man for the job’. He said smiling at the butt naked girl on his lap.
What job? I really should concentrate more at these meetings.

‘Yes, then we will be done with this problem for good’. Tattered said, he kept telling me his name but my head just refused to grasp it.
I knew they were having serious issues with some other gang and from the look of things, someone was going to have to die.
My phone beeped in my pants pocket and I got it out.

Jake: where are you??
Me: garage, why?
Jake: well I’m sorry to interrupt your secret meeting but the party is starting.
Me: I told you I can’t come, I’m grounded, remember?
Jake: about that, I called ur mom and told her u were tutoring me tonight. Get here soon.
Me: okay sissy, since you need me so bad. See you in ten.
Jake: eww

‘So are we done here? Can I go?’ I asked Seth. He smiled small, got up and pulled a gun from his back pocket. He pointed the gun at me.
‘Really?’ I asked, unimpressed.
He shrugged and with a flash, shot the girl who had been on his lap.

‘Fuck!’ Tattered cussed.
‘She had heard too much’. He said as he moved to his main office. The garage was his decoy, something to keep the cops off his back but from what I know, that doesn’t work well but he has a lot of connections he is almost untouchable.

‘And yes Zayn, you can leave. Always make yourself available when we holler’. He added without turning back.
‘Of course, it’s always a pleasure’. I said and got the fuck out of there.

‘Zayn wait up’. Someone called out as I got to my car a few blocks away from the garage. I turned to see Steve walking towards me, he was the only one around my age in the gang.
‘Hey buddy’. I said as we shook hands and bumped shoulders.

‘Why the hurry? You looked like you’d drop down and die if you spent even one more second in there’. He said and I laughed.
‘I have to meet up with my bud at this party. You wanna come?’
‘You know I’d love to but Seth has me running errands, I have to spy on the METALS again’.

The gangs around here all have stupid names, no creativity.
‘Dude, don’t you get scared of doing this stuff? You could get killed you know’.
‘Scared? Bruh, there is no room for fear in the business and I don’t want to get on Seth’s wrong side. I’ve got just six months left in this shithole, I can’t afford to jeopardize things’.

Steve’s family borrowed money from the boss that they couldn’t refund so he took him to work for him and he has been doing that for three and a half year to pay his family’s debt. Seth trust him and I don’t think he will willingly let him go but who am I to burst the innocent boy’s bubble?

‘Alright superman. I gotta go’. I said, opening the car door.
‘Not so fast. Can I get your jacket man? Just for tonight, got some chic I gotta charm’.
I laughed and took my jacket off, handing it over to him.
‘You can keep it, I’m sure it will look better on you’.
‘For real?’
‘Yeah man, I’ve got like half a dozen of it’.
‘Okay, thanks’. He said as I got in and rode off.
