MISTY

I walked into Killa's room after I hung up the phone with Ms.Mary. It was BJ's mama, she was calling me about Kyrin. At BJ funeral, she told me that she was going to get custody of Kyrin because she didn't want him in my care of foster care. She never like Tisha at all, she didn't like her one bit. She said that Tisha's young ass was a fast ass girl who held her son back.

I told her to let me keep him for a few more weeks and she agreed when she knew who I was going to be with. But today she was coming to get him. She lived two blocks away on Pinson Street, right across from the school. So I could go see Kyrin everyday, but still, now I felt truly alone. I literally have nobody, not even Kyrin. But when I get old enough, I'm gone get custody of him. He had just start calling me mama and all.

I sighed then got another call on my phone.

"Hello?" I answered my phone without looking at the caller ID.

"You okay, pooh?" America asked referring to Kyrin.

"I'll be okay, I guess." I answered back as I looked at my toes, I needed them done.

"Aww, but I know something that will take your mind off of things." She told me in a excited mood.

"What?" I said as I sat up, that caught my attention.

"Okay, so they having this party in 13th Street, and we needa go be some lil' hood rats." She said and I rolled my eyes.

"Ion know, I gotta ask Killa." I told her and she sighed.

"This nigga, if he say no, sneak out." She said and I giggled, she a trip.

"Man, I'll see." I told her as I laughed then hung up.

I sighed then got off the couch and walked into Killa's room. I sat on the edge of his bed then looked over at him.

"What yo ass want now?" He asked and I rolled my eyes.

"I wanna go to this party with my friends tonight." I told him looking hopeful.

"Nah you can't go, them niggas still looking for you." He told me and I rolled my eyes.

"I go to school everyday, they not stuntin me, plus ain't they leader or whoever dead?" I asked and he shook his head, as he sighed.

"You heard what I said, Misty." He said with his eyes on his phone screen and I sighed then huffed.

I texted America that I couldn't go and she responded back in just sneak out. I bit my lip thinking about for a second then texted her back okay, but how?

We decided that whenever he go to sleep we can skip to the party. About two hours later, he went to sleep, me and America went to the party. It was lit as a bitch in there, man I haven't had fun in so long.

Soon as Rio and his boys rolled up on some niggas on the North side, all hell broke lose. They decided they wanted to shoot shit up. I grabbed a America and we ran all the way to 27th Street.

KILLA

I woke up abruptly to the sound of my phone ringing, I sighed then answered.

"Talk to me." I said as I ran my hand over my face.

"Man, them niggas from the Nawf done made all he'll break loose at this party of the West side." TeeKay said from the other line.

"Man, same shit different day, the fuck them niggas shooting at a party for anyway." I asked as I sat up.

"Ion know but Terrel said he finna go handle it." He told me and I looked around once I noticed Misty wasn't here.

"Look man, if you see Misty at that damn party, snatch her ass up." I told him then hung up the phone.

She so damn hardheaded, I told her ass she couldn't go, why insist on not listening. I sighed and tried to call her, it went straight to voicemail. I grabbed a white T-shirt and slipped on my slides.

I hopped in my truck and rode around town for about 2 hours until I got a phone call then checked the caller ID then answered.

"Where you at?" I asked in a serious voice.

"I'm at the Waffle House on 27th Street." She said from the other line.

I sighed then hung up the phone and made my way to Uptown. I pulled up and look through Waffles House to see her sitting at a table. I beeped my horn then she looked up with a guilty look in her eyes then took her time and walked to the car.

She opened the door and got in then put on her seatbelt. The drive back to the house was silent and she was looking out the window the whole time. I pulled up to the house then looked over at her and shook my head.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" I asked her and she looked over at me with a sad face.

"What you mean?" She peeped out and I got mad.

"What I mean? You know what the fuck I mean, you steady disobeying me! Why do have to the shit? Huh?" I yelled at her and she looked down at her hands.

"You don't have to yell at me." She told me in a soft voice sounding like she was crying.

"I do have to yell at yo ass, I really do, because me yelling at you is the only way to get thangs through yo thick ass skull! Why the fuck did you go the damn party if I said you couldn't?" I yelled at her and she put her hands up.

"I- I don't know. I- I- just-" She tried to say but I cut her off.

"Now you ain't got shit to say, yo ass could've got shot! What you woulda did if you got shot? Huh? Nobody wouldn't no what to fucking do cause you all the way on the West side of town!" I yelled at her and she cried harder.

"Why are you so mad?" She asked and I was about to go off but I held my breath.

"You gone make me beat da' fuck outta you!" I yelled at her and she looked up at me with wide and fear filled eyes.

"Yeah, you gone make slap da' fuck outta you then beat da' fuck outta you! Yo' spoiled ass always gotta be somewhere with yo' hoe ass friends! Yo' ass could've died tonight, tryna go do some hoe shit with ya friends!" I continued and she started back crying.

"I needed to get out of the house! I was missing Ky and I needed something to distract me before I got sad." She said as a excuse and I rolled my eyes.

"Man fuck it, not finna go back and forth with you. Take yo' ass in the fucking house." I told her as I looked at my ringing phone.

She huffed and got out my car, slamming the door behind her. I checked my phone calling the bitch I dreaded the most back, my baby mama.
