I stood at the door with my face scrunched up.  I know damn well she not in this bathroom fucking some random ass nigga.  I banged on the door some more while hearing a lot of shuffling going on inside.  "Jhené open this damn door now." I said with base in my voice.

She slowly unlocked the door and had an uneasy look on her face.  I know she's still somewhat dating Cordell so what the hell is she thinking. "Uhhh," Jhené stuttered before continuing, "h-hey Rihmeek." She swiped her hair out her face while looking at me. 

"Have you lost your fucking mind?" I said to her wanting to knock her ass out. I have been waiting patiently for the love of my life and she out here fucking and probably sucking random dudes. In my own house. "Robert. Look I don't know what happened okay!" She yelled at me.

I looked at her in disbelief. "I hope you know Cordell is gonna kill your dumb ass and his dumb ass then maybe kill me because it happened on my watch." I said clapping my hands while looking at the two. "Y'all have really fucked up, I hope y'all know."

I glanced at the dude behind her realizing it was one of his men.  I shook my head and turned around to walk away.  "Get yourself together."  I don't even know who she is right now. She can't be that clueless as to the fact that I love her. I do everything for her. I treat her better than Cordell and she knows this. Then it's with one of his men at that. This shit is just disrespectful.

"Wait Mee-." She started.  I already knew what she was going to say so I cut her off quickly.  "No, I'm not going to tell Cordell.  That's your business to tell." I said as I walked up the long basement steps, leaving the two by themselves.  I opened the door which led back to the hallway and back to the party.  I scanned the crowded room to look for Rodrick, and I found him standing in the corner with a red cup in his hand, nodding his head to the music and scrolling on his phone. 

I made my way through the crowed, dapping some people up in the process and stopped directing in front of Rodrick.  "Wassup man." I said to him.  He looked up at me and shrugged his shoulders slightly. "Ain't much. You know parties aren't really my scene." He said as he glanced back down to his phone.  "Yeah, yeah, yeah I know.  But you're here now so let loose and get lit my nigga." I said lightly punching his shoulder. 

He laughed and nodded.  "I'll try man." I simply shook my head and leaned against the wall. "So what you think about my girl Jhené?" I asked wanting to know what he honestly thought of her.  He looked at me with a confused face.  "Who my g?" I snickered and wiped my face with my hands, "The light skin joint with the asian ass eyes and the big ass phenix tattoo." I said trying to describe her to the best of my abilities.

He made the o shape with his mouth and then spoke. "She aight. Not really much to say about her." I grinned at him. "Nigga you don't say much about nothing." We both laughed and continued to catch up on everything we missed out on in each others lives. 

"Aye ! Cut the fucking music off!" Someone yelled.  The music turned off quickly and it got quiet.  I quickly glanced around to see who was fucking up my party and I reached for my strap while doing so.  I don't go anywhere without it for reasons just like this.

"So you thought you was gonna play with my money and my family nigga!" I heard before coming face to face with an old enemy of mine.  This man is mad because I fucked his bitch, gave her my baby, and stole his business. He ain't treat her right anyway and she didn't mention she had a nigga when we was fucking. I found out about his ass after she got knocked up. I'm just gonna play this off like I don't know who he is because I don't need the whole city to know my business.

I smoothly chuckled trying to keep my composure in front of everyone.  "My nigga. Ion know who you are or who you think you is. But what you not gonna do is come up in my shit and disrespect me." I said feeling myself get more and more angrier by the second.

He pulled out his gun and aimed it at me.  This made me react the same exact way.  I pulled out mines and so did Rodrick.  Rodrick got reckless when it came to doing any type of violence so he was right behind me aiming to.  "So what...you think just because you got his bitch ass to back you up, I'm supposed to be scared?" He said tilting his head to the side.  By now everyone had either ran out the house or backed up into the corners or behind furniture to protect themselves. 

Rodrick became Roddy anytime he felt threatened and when people saw Roddy, it was most likely the last thing they ever saw.  "Aye, watch how you talking dude.  I'd advise you to get the fuck up on out of here before I lay your ass to rest." Roddy said walking closer.  The random man quickly reacted by shooting Roddy in the stomach automatically making his fall to the ground.  Everyone began to scream and scatter seeing the 20 year old lay in his own blood.

The man fired off 3 more shots and then ran for the front door. I fired back quickly while chasing him through the panicked crowd. I missed watching the guy run down the street into the darkness and just like that he was gone.

I tried to wrap my head around what just happened and came to my senses quickly pushing though people to get back to Roddy. I made it back to him seeing him now laying against the wall holding his stomach while holding in his breath.

I bent down and applied pressure to the wound to stop bleeding. He winced in pain and closed his eyes. "You good man." I said trying to reassure him. He shook his head no and sat there coughing. "C'mon man." I said to him. "You fine, you got this, ain't nothing wrong with you." He slumped over and I sat there in shock. No no no.

He can't do this to me. Not right now. I shook his body not getting a response. "Jhené! Help me." I yelled out to her. She used to take nursing classes when ever she wasn't running around town ruining other people's lives with her psychotic boyfriend. She rushed to my side looking at Roddy in horror. "Oh my god!" She yelled while climbing on top of Roddy. She quickly checked his pulse and rubbed her hands together preparing to give him CPR.

"Here goes nothing." She said before pressing on his chest multiple times and blowing her air into his body. "C'mon Rodrick, C'mon." She whispered to herself while continuing to do chest compressions. After the 3rd cycle I walked away frustrated with tears in my eyes. Why? Why did this happen to him? I kicked the dirt letting all my frustrations out.

"Ahhhh come on Rodrick, don't do this to Rihmeek. He needs you." She yelled from the living room, not giving up. I slumped down on the ground and sat there with my head in my hands. This is my fault. He would have been at home right now. But no. I just had to force him to come party with me. Now he's gone. What am I going to tell g-ma? Who gon have my back like he did? That was my brother and now he gone. I just don't understand it.

I heard a slight shuffle in the grass behind me. I turned around and saw someone standing there with a white mask on that read "fear God." I patted my body realizing I left my strap in the house. I tried to tackle the man in the mask but he swung at me with a large metal bat and I automatically felt a sharp pain in my head.

I stumbled back and forth in the grass before finally falling to my knees. Right before I blacked out I heard, "I finally got your bitch ass."
