What hersh you've been blowing me up." "Yes human because you just up and left and didn't tell where you was going. better not be Chris." "Hell no keep tabs on tash." I responded. "She up and left too actually." "how with no car? You can't be letting her go anywhere she's pregnant!" I yelled in the phone "She's what?" 'oh damn' I thought. I hung up before Hersh could get another word in. He wasn't supposed to know that. "You're such a liar, Is Tash really pregnant?" I nodded my head at Chris. "Yeah but I'm not the only person who has been lying." "look I told you I was sorry about not showing up for the date." "But yet you took Briana on a date, why is she so much better than me? You didn't have to say a word to me. You didn't have to acknowledge me. You could have saved me the stress. The time! Instead you put two bullets in a guy that wasn't afraid to show how he really felt." I watched as he sat up and face expression changed. It scared me a little. "I didn't do that shit! Chillout." I see I had pulled a string. "Well who did it Chris!" "I just said it wasn't me! I saw how fine you was, I saw how that dress fit every curve of your body. The body I never saw. The changes you made to your hair, the dimples that appeared every time you laughed or smiled. I saw you talking to the lame ass quarterback. I was mad only because I knew what he was thinking every nigga was speaking on you. I saw you kiss him. You looked happy so I left." "You just left? You expect me to believe you just left? Your ego could never be that kind!" "I know he hasn't had the pleasure of having you." Chris added. I could tell by the way you walk. You're saving it for me." "I'm saving it until I'm ready!" I blurted back. "If you had given it to him.. He would've been dead." He sat there with a calm look to his face as if he didn't just say that. Then he continued. "Although I should have burned his sorry ass as many times he burned watson in the playoffs, it wasn't me." Hard to say I believed him. "I don't deserve you, but it's hard to see you with someone else." said Chris examining me I felt so Uncomfortable Chris felt a little out of my league. " But yet you deserve a world class freak that you said yourself fucks everyone of your boys! But she gets showcased more than a singing duck.!" "You lured me to a public park to conversate about Briana?" "No for my safety." I responded. "What? What You think I'mma do?" He joked. "I don't know what an huego will do!" Chris smile fell from his face. I started I might as well finish. "That's why you can't let her go she's the boss daughter. It's all you had to say." "Where you get this from?" "Chris you know me! It was only a matter of time before I figured it out.You, Jerome, dickhead,marcus,and raphael are all huego's." "Is that what you think I am?" he asked fidgeting with his clothes. "Yeah Chris the movie is over you can stop acting." He pulled off his shirt and turned around to show his back.. Nothing ... He flapped his ear.... Nothing. "That's what happen when you assume!" said chris sliding his hoodie back on. "It's cute how you knew exactly where the tattoo would go. That's allegedly inside information. If you're not an huego then youre a hanger...Someone who hang around and commit small crimes or carry weapons for them until you're initiated." I grabbed my things and walked away. "That's what happen when you underestimate."
"Yes me and my dad are on good terms!We had a long talk. He's in his office now." "Well you sound happy." Said Hersh on the other end "But what's the deal with Tash? Why did ya'll keep that from me? Or have you forgot that we were the ones investigating." "Hersh she didn't want me to speak on it." "We're all friends! What else are ya'll hiding? The fact that an abortion has gone all wrong!...... Well who's the father? I knew exactly where hersh was going with this."Hersh just calm down." "No you calm down hope! The secret keeper! I have the phone number to end all this. Threeway like the old days right hope! When we wasn't keeping secrets from each other." I could hear him dialing the numbers in my ear. "Stay on the phone. Whoever answer is definitely the father. Shh it's ringing!" I waited for the mystery voice on the other end and after a couple of rings they finally answered. 'hello officer todd greenluck how can I help you?' My heart dropped to my stomach. My eyes widened I couldn't believe it. It felt like every muscle in my body stopped working. Hersh didn't respond either. "This tasha right?" the voice continued. It was my dad, my dad, my dad my fucking dad! The door to my dads office opened up and footsteps were leading to the living room. Where I was. My dad came in to view with the phone in his hand.He stood there watching me with a blank face. We stared at each other for minutes. Then he broke the silence. "Hope let me explain!" he begginned to take steps towards the couch I hopped up quickly and started backing to the door then the right words came to me. "You been had that phone.You're the one tash being going off with right?" he continued to walk towards me. "That's why you were mad when tash threw up! You took her for an abortion but you learned she still had the symptoms of a pregnant woman! That's why you were so mad when you saw dianna carson right pop? You saw her chatting to mom you though she outed you ? I could feel my eyes watering. I tilted my head to the side. That's why mom left you! You disgust me you sick bitch! You should have been the one getting burned alive not Austin." My dad footsteps stop. Then he made a dash for me. I wasn't sure what he was trying to do but I bust the door open and hauled down the steps trying to find my keys. I looked back to see him following me what was he trying to do? I slid into the car crunk it and rushingly trying to roll my windows up. I did it just in time! He smacked my window repeatedly. I just want to talk." " No." I yelled back. he proceeded to walk off then he turned and punched the glass out my window. I couldn't believe him."You can't out this." he yelled trying to unlock my door from the inside. I put the car in reverse and bagged out as fast as I could . I didn't give one fuck that I had ran over his feet. "hope please tell me you're okay! I heard everything! Was that your window?" "hersh I have to go."
