[21 Savage] Book I Of When It Rains, It Pours.

11| "I just wanna go back to being the same.."

When Veronica got the word that Marquise killed Larry, Her little sister, Elijah and Santo she knew that somebody was next to add to the list.

Somehow she convinced her mom to take the girls out of town without telling her everything she knew. None of her brothers knew who the real killers were but they expected them to be crips.

Veronica wanted to handle it all on her own, even if that meant she had to die too. Dash had some friends in Pensacola Florida that had some room in her house for guests. So they packed their bags and headed there.

Veronica, Bin, Chresanto and Cyril stayed back a couple days while everyone else went ahead. Tadashi knew that meant nothing good but she couldn't worry about it. Veronica promised they would all come to Pensacola soon but she didn't know when. Heat was out, the police had patrols everywhere. So businesses was slow and people were scared to go outside. They knew if they were going to handle anything it would take some time but Bin was eager to get some blood on his hands for the loved ones he lost.

Tadashi decided to stay at a hotel instead of a now crowded house that was ten minutes away from everyone else. Her dad even came from Canada when he heard about everything that happened. He had to be beside his daughter, to make sure that nothing bad happened to her or grandson and mother.

Sitting down in the cafe, she placed Iverson's car seat in the seat next to her and turned him towards her.

"Can we get two waters with lemons please?" Tadashi sighed and starting tapping on the table. Looking at his daughter, he could see the bags under her eyes growing. "Are you sleeping honey?"

"I'm just so scared.." Tadashi looked down at her son, "I'm scared for him, he was born into a world of chaos now he might not even have his dad."

"Has Bin called?"

"No and I just think the worst all the time, I just never knew things would get this bad that they might end this way."

"You just have to have faith honey, you have me.. I'm not going anywhere, and you have Iverson, you have to be strong for him."

The tears slipped from her eyes, "I'm eighteen, I don't want to be the one that has to be strong all the time. I'm hurt, I lost my best friend and the last thing I told him was don't talk to me anymore. I was so mad, I was so sick of being lied to, I felt like everybody stabbed me in the back. He protected Bin for so many years and that hurt me. I told him to stay out of my life and now all I want to do is hug him again. I didn't want him to die, I need him. Larry was the only one that had my back when I was pregnant. When I called, he came right away and now I can't call him, I can't say how are you because he's dead and that's not fair! Don't tell me you know how that feels, I'm sorry dad but you don't." Tadashi covered her face as she cried as she tried not to bring too much attention to herself. Iverson started crying and Tadashi rushed to pick him up.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Tadashi wiped her face and grabbed a bottle. They sat in silence while she feed him. Tadashi even started tearing up himself.

"I never wanted this life for you, I should've brought you back to Canada after the robbery. That was my mistake and I'm sorry. All you had to do was call me, I would've came and got you when things were getting bad."

"I wanted to work things out myself, I couldn't run to you every time something went wrong. At first it wasn't so bad but then it all changed when me and Bin got together. That night my life changed forever and I thought things would get better, I needed things to get better but he stayed the same. He was still robbing and killing and now everything is going wrong at the same time and I don't know what to do. I don't want my son to have live his life without a father, I'm not you, I don't think I can raise a child alone."
