I dropped Raven off at my house after we had breakfast and drove to the studio. I knew Carti had to know what the fuck was up with Aaliyah and I hope it wasn't because of him. I made my way up and heard the bass booming from the outside. I opened the door and smoke immediately hit my nose.

"Y'all niggas hotboxing this fucking studio?" I asked shutting the door behind me.

"We just vibing out nigga." Carti busted out laughing.

"Yeah whatever, wassup with my sister? Why she leave tour early?" I asked getting comfortable on the couch.

"Probably because I told her I wasn't going to sit there and watch her let Santana keep disrespecting her and hurting her. I told her break up with him or it's over and she left." He said hitting his blunt again.

"Whatchu mean? What all this nigga been doing to her?" I asked getting upset.

"She told me she been letting that nigga put his hands on her. Not hitting her but slamming her against walls and shit." He said.

I felt my blood start boiling and I wanted to go find this nigga and shoot his ass. My phone started ringing and I seen Jeilani calling me.

"Aye wassup? Can I hit you back it's some important shit going on right now?" I said.

"I need to talk to you it's about Aaliyah. Can I meet up with you real quick?" He said and I rubbed my forehead.

"I'm about to send you an address I'm at the studio with Carti pull up here." I said.

I hung up and sent him the address seeing he read it quick.

"Aaliyah's friend Jeilani is about to slide by here he got some shit to talk to me about and it got to do with her." I sighed pulling out a cigarette lighting it.

"Ain't that the nigga that put her on with his lame ass anyway?" Carti asked.

"Shit I don't know is it?" I asked.

"Yeah I'm pretty sure that's what she told me nigga." He said.

"You think what he got to say got something to do with Santana?" I asked.

"Shit it probably is what else would it be?" He asked.

"I tell you I been wanting to get ahold to that nigga Santana. I'll pop the fuck outta his ass." I said.

"Nigga you don't need no charges." Carti said.
                                         •••
"Wassup nigga." I dapped up Jeilani.

"Wassup." He said.

He dapped up Carti and sat down sighing.

"So wassup man?" I asked.

"Santana got niggas watching Aaliyah and he think her and Carti fucking around. I told Aaliyah this last night and she said she was going to break up with him today. I told her we needed to tell you but she didn't want me to. That nigga is crazy and obsessed." He said.

"Well you did the right shit nigga 'cause he already been putting his hands on her. I'ma beat that nigga ass when I see him." I rubbed my hands together.

"You for real??" He asked.

"Yeah that's what she told Carti." I said.

"I told him he was going to have to worry about you if he kept that shit up man. He told me if I told Aaliyah he would kill me." He said.

Carti and I looked at each other and laughed.

"If he shoot you you'll be the last nigga he shoot on me. I look at y'all like my family and I'll ride for either one of y'all." I said.
