ZadieI sat in Tristens house with his mom and Malcolm just wondering when the boys were gonna get home.
"I can't believe they have my baby. Why would they do this to us." Mrs. Cole said
"Mrs. Cole I don't know, just try and relax you know that they'll do whatever they can to get him back." I said
"And Amie too." She added
"Yes and Amie too." I agreed and forced a smile.
A few moments later Aiden walked into the house and looked like he just saw a ghost.
"Whats wrong with you?" Mrs. Cole asked him.
"Not now Ma. I can't talk about it aight." Aiden said walking away from her.
"Aiden, Drew is missing. So is Amie. Your brother and everyone is out there right now searching for him and all you can do is talk shit about how you can't talk right now? You need to make time right now. What is going on?" Mrs. Cole said
"Dammit Ma! Back off!" Aiden yelled
"Aye!" Malcolm said standing up.
"Sit yo ass down before I knock your ass down for you." Aiden said
"Man you been acting like such a big ass man since you been with those b..." Malcolm said
"Nigga shut yo ass up. I swear if you say another word I'll knock your teeth out cha ass." Aiden said now in Malcolms face.
"Stop it. You ain't doing nothing to him!" Mrs. Cole said stepping in between them. "Now what were you gonna say Malcolm?"
"You ain't gonna say nothing." Aiden said snarling at Malcolm
Just then Mrs. Cole sent a slap across Aidens face that caused him to drool for twenty seconds straight. "Be quiet." Mrs Cole growled back at him.
As Aiden was picking his head back up from that slap Tristen and the guys walked in with him, with his dad following behind.
Tristen looked at group and shook his head at the scene that was going on. "Whats going on?" Mr. Cole asked
"Aiden and Malcolm are fighting." Mrs. Cole said standing in between them.
"Fight about what?" Mr. Cole asked grabbing Aiden by his collar and tossing him further away from Malcolm.
Aiden just shook his head and didn't answer. Mr. Cole screamed at him more but I saw Tristen walking into his old room behind the crowd. I crept around the crowd and followed him into his room and found him pacing back and forth thinking hard.
"Tristen?" I said but he didn't acknowledge me.
"Tris.." I said again and he stopped pacing and just turned to face me. It took me back when I saw his face filled with tears and hiss lip shaking.
"You aint call me that since we broke up." He said
"I know. It was the only thing that ever got you to listen." I said
He whipped his eyes and sat down on the bed. "My family is falling apart. This nigga in Jail is toying with us like puppets and we have no idea what he has planned." Tristen said
"Don't worry about him, whats going on with your family?" I asked
"My mom lied and so did Aiden. They both hiding something and I'm sick of lying." Tristen said
"Your a very honest person if something is truly bothering you let's just talk about it." Zadie said
"You right we need to talk about it." He said and stood up.
