These Days

III

With the school now out of sight, Darrell turns the music off and puts his gaze on Indy. feeling his eyes piercing into her, she roll her eyes before saying "nigga put your eyes on the road you can barely drive as it is". Disregarding her smart remark he says " what you doing hanging around Avery? That's gonna have to change". Indy scoffed at the fact he actually thought they were friends. " i don't know why you think i wanna be around her so you can chill on that one. I have to show her around for a couple days".

Darrell turned his attention back to the road and gripped the steering wheel a little tighter before replying "ard fine, but after that stay away from her". Indy just muttered "yea whatever" under her breath and popped both of her earphones in.

*Darrell POV starts*

Once i pulled up to get Indy and saw Avery with her, i knew exactly what she was up to. Me and Avery been part of the same gang since i joined at 18. She was just 13. Her pops ran the gang and instantly became his right hand dude. But she always joked around and always mixed business with pleasure. Instead of chasing money and controlling territories, she wanted to chase skirts and got too many people's feelings involved. And for that reason, me and her always bumped heads. 5 years later, nothing has changed. Indy is good looking girl, and i've to deal with niggas in the past trying to take advantage of her and i always told my momma i would protect her. I'll be damned if i let Avery break that promise.
