" What was it like being engaged in that type up environment at such a young age?"
" Being involved with someone who runs the streets ain't always sugar sweet, it comes with a price and it ain't for the soft hearted either because it forces you to mature and since your putting your life on the line everyday u cant trust nobody but yourself, and it took me years to realize that."

Spice laid comfortably in her bed as she watched living single on her Tv, she had no plans for the day other than getting her lazy behind up and cleaning the dishes her mom had told her to clean that morning before she left for work. A firm and loud knock caught her attention which she quickly shrugged off thinking she had just misheard it as one of the sound effects from the show she was currently watching, only for her door bell to be rang numerous times without stopping.
With an exaggerated groan she quickly lifted the warms sheets off of her body slipping into her white bunny slippers making her way down the hall towards her front door. where the loud constant ringing of her door bell was coming from.
" Stop abusing my door bell and wait, i'm coming damn!" she looked through the peep hole first because her house was known for getting visits from addicts since the home was originally owned by a drug dealer, or so that's what she assumed
as she looked through the small hole in the door she was met with the sight of a black hoodie whoever the person was they weren't looking ahead as there body was turned sideways looking over there shoulder.
" What you want?" she asked still looking through the peep hole hoping to at least get a glance of the person. and as if they read her mind they slowly lifted there head only for her to recognize rakeem.
" open up the door spice...please?" she shook her head before unlocking the door and opening it just enough to see half of her face.
" what you want, and why the hell u ringing my door bell like you ain't got no damn sense!" she eyed him giving him a quick once over.
She couldn't lie rakeem was fine with his dark brown skin and his braids that he always kept fresh and his white teeth was a plus but unfortunately he was annoying as hell and was mean for no reason.
rakeem only straight faced her before pushing himself through the crack of the open door and into the house. spice mugged him the whole time slamming her door closed just to focus her frustrations on something. "one, you don't know how to knock, and two you just walking into peoples homes like its cool, ight i got you." she nodded her head.
she watched him with irritation as he walked in her kitchen looking through her fridge grabbing a snapple then raiding her cabinets for a bag of Dorito chips. The nigga didn't even close her refrigerator door, before walking out into her living room making himself comfortable on her couch.
He really must have lost his mind, shaking her head she closed both her refrigerator and cabinet doors before walking into the living room slapping the back of his exposed neck hard, it left her hand red and tingling.
" yo what the fuck man." she rolled her eyes at his dramatic antics " i should be saying that, who told you we was cool enough for u to be raiding my house like u the police?" she walked toward the other end of the couch before sitting down not wanting to be near him because of how angry she was at him.
He only smacked his lips in response " I don't want to be at home, and Corey is in trouble so his ass cant even come outside today."
spice really didn't care she just wanted to know what gave him the idea of coming to her place unannounced. "So..still doesn't explain why you are here." he sighed
" If you ain't out with yaz then you at home and we all know yaz visiting her grandma so i knew you would be home so i thought maybe i'd chill with you." she laughed.
she laughed so hard it brought tears to her eyes and she rolled on the floor " whats so funny?" he really didn't think anything he said was a joke, he was actually being honest she let out a few more chuckles before wiping the stray tears that fell.
" No but seriously why are u here, no wait let me rephrase that. What did u do to make you come here?" he went quiet didn't even look at her as he stared at the blank television " hello? u don't hear me now."
he ignored her, still eyeing the blank Tv. "my brother went missing last night." spice was taken off guard, she doesn't know much about about rakeem's home life but from what he has told her him and his siblings were very close him having a 18 year old brother and a 13 year old sister. his older brother was a high school drop out quickly getting into selling drugs as a way to provide for his siblings he never really talks about his parents .
spice watched quietly as rakeem held his head in his hands, he was upset and she understood that but she felt awkward not really used to comforting other people. So they sat in silence for a few minutes
"when was the last time you had seen him." rakeem sighed " i seen him 2 days ago he was trying to sneak out the house in the middle of the night but i had caught him, said something about handling a drop i don't know" he begins shaking his head " only person i know who'd know his where about is Don but you know how hard it is to get in touch with him."
spice nodded in agreement, Don was the drug pin of there city and only showed his face to those who worked for him unfortunately his brother was one of those workers. " so what are you going to do?"
he scruntched his eyebrows " i'm going to find my brother the fuck."
