A Thugs Bestfriend

Chapter 5

This was the first time i was caught slipping. Usually I'm always on guard for shit like this but, i should have known that it's no breaks when your caught up in this life.One slip up and that's your ass.

I stayed silent as the door creaked open and listened as i heard a familiar voice and sneakers squeak on the floor. However, i couldn't put a face to the voice.

"Go through all the rooms and look for my shit. I know it's here" the voice said.

The sneakers left and i heard slamming of doors. The voice mumbled something and i heard things being thrown around.

I found a small door and crawled inside. Turning on my flashlight, it was a tunnel. Wait, why does this nigga got a tunnel in his house? I shook my head and crawled until i saw a vent that led to the light of the outside.

Chres's P.O.V.

"Are you staying the whole day?" Nia said going through the fridge for lunch.

"I wish i could but i gotta go back to Dion's house."

"What's the point of coming over here if your not gonna spent time with ur girlfriend? We barely see each other an when we do, you always have to leave." she whined.

"Woahh. Girlfriend? We've haven't gotten to that stage yet . We're just chilling. You know i love seeing you whenever i can but-

"What do you call us then?" She said crossing her arms.

"First of all. Don't cut me off, you know i hate that shit. Second of all, i-" i started to say but my phone started ringing.

"Hello?"

"Chres, we got a problem" Amelia said into the phone.

"Aight, aight. I'm on my way now."

Nia started babbling about me leaving but i didn't care cause she was getting on my last nerves and i didn't have time to be arguing with her.

As i pulled up in his driveway, Amelia was hugging a shakened up Kays. "What happened?" I said pulled out my gun.

"Somebody broke into the house while we we're playing hide and seek?" Amelia said.

"What? Your supposed to be looking out for this stuff not playing games. They could have killed my niece! What did i tell you about always being prepared?" I yelled at her.

"Where is Dion?" i said running my hand through my hair.

" We don't know. Kays said he told her to stay where she was and don't come out at all ,then he left." she said.

Where the hell did he run off to? This is why i stress not to be off guard to them. But they just don't wanna listen.

"Take Kays to the safe house, i'm going to find Dion. Don't even think about coming with me. I'm still pissed you let your guard down." i said jogging back to my car.

~~~**~~~

I couldn't find Dion anywhere. I'd been searching the streets for hours and none of the corner boys knew where he went. I tried texting him, calling him, all types of shit but he's M.I.A. I had no choice but to throw in the towel for the day and go home. He was bound to call me and say he was fine so i wasn't tripping that much.

Nia was blowing up my phone apologizing for earlier but i wasn't in the mood to talk to her. She does this all the time, and right now i don't wanna deal with her bull.

I lit a blunt and watched a little t.v. to calm down. We needed to kill Craig and get it done but now i gotta worry about niggas breaking into the house. It seems like im the only one with the brains here. Those two cant even do shit right. This is not play time and Amelia knows about how i feel about having fun when u supposed to be alert. My niece could have died.

I decided to call in one of my boys to find out who was at the house.

"Yo Troy. I need a favor"

"What u need? Please tell me it aint about Nia. I told you to leave her crazy ass alone." he said.

"Nah nah, i need you to get some information for me. Some niggas came into my house, i need you to find out who." i said.

"I'll see what i can do for u but u sure you ain't owe nobody nothing?" He said.

" One person....but I'm positive they don't know where i live." i said scratching my chin.

"Well be careful and watch out for any funny shit aight. I'll let you know."

"Alright". We said our goodbyes as i finished off the last of my blunt.

Amelia's P.O.V.

Kays and I walked down to the ice cream shop to calm her down. She was still upset by what happened. It was my fault for not paying attention and now Chres is pissed at me.

"Can i have two scoops of chocolate ice cream and two strawberry." i said to the worker. He was fone asf! Perfect brown skin complexion, tall, light brown eyes. His name tag said Devin.

As i was paying for the ice cream, he asked me for my name. But my mind had went blank. Damn what the heck is my name.

"Uhhh. Im.....Im...-" i stuttered.

"Her name is Amelia." Kays said for me.

"Amelia. Thats a really pretty name. Im Devin." He said smiling.

I blushed and turned my head slightly embarassed.He winked and continued back to tend the customers behind us. Im usually good with this kind of stuff. Talking to boys is way easier. So why couldnt i talk to him?

"Ooooo" Kays said cheesing as we got back in the car.

"Eat your ice cream" i said giving her the look.
