I walked up the raggedy steps of Crenshaw projects. Avoiding stepping on needles , crack pipes and fisher price toys.
I went on back into my room stopping at the gruesome sight that took my breath away.
Blood painted and spattered all over the ba...

Trina was hyperventilating as she paced back and forth in the living room. She didn't understand how powerful these niggas were before .
But I'm sure she understood now.
"Ayva, they just killed someone ." She went on pacing again.
"Yea someone who was gonna murder all of us in our sleep." I rest my forehead in my hand as i sit cross legged on the couch My head still hurting .
"Bitch are we gonna go to jail?!, I'm too cute to go to jail and those fucking orange jumpsuits are horrendous as fuck." She paces faster not breathing in between her words .
"I said the exact same thing." I laughed remembering when I thought I was going to go to jail . "But i promise , we aren't going to jail plus it was self defense ."
Trina laughed with me sitting next to me. "I just didn't know. Sis I thought they were just sexy ass drug dealers who became rich because they knew how to stack their bread. Not sexy ass killers who knew how to handle guns and cover up evidence to a murder. That's some wild shit "
The boys come back in the room after a couple hours.
My guess was disposing the bodies properly .
King was still angry he didn't even look at me. "Ayva go pack your things."
"Excuse me?" I fold my arms .
This nigga is kicking me out now? after I almost got kidnapped .. now he's telling me to pack? what in the hell.
"Go. Pack. Your. Things." He looked up at me this time. His tone meaning serious shit.
But nah , he wasn't about to kick me out like that.
"So your resolution is to kick me out after you just begged me to stay??? Oh how fun, Fuck you." I turn to go get my shit so I can get the hell out of here. But he grabbed my arm so quick.
"Ayva, listen . I don't have time for your petty ass attitude, I'm not kicking you out. I'm moving you away from this shit to protect you as best I fuckin can. Now, please go get your shit." He says calmly with the familiar softness in his eyes as he looked into mine.
"Fine." I say
"Quickly, babygirl." He adds making my pace pick up quicker upstairs.
I grab whatever clothes I can stuffing them into a bag and everything else I needed since I didn't know how long I'd be gone. I return back downstairs to frustrated bickering between Ace, Slick and Swan . Bo was now comforting Trina who seemed to be less anxious. While King sat in deep thought waiting for my return.
"Where am I going ?" I tap him on his knee gently . Standing in front of him. He looks up at me with a half smile. "Somewhere safe, Trina can come with you so you're not alone." He wraps his arm around my waist pulling me closer hugging me resting his head against my stomach.
I'm sure he could hear the butterflies fluttering in my insides .
"Where is this somewhere?" I ask
He looks up at me slightly hesitant. "New Jersey ." He grins .
Fuck the what ?
"Uh...no." I drop my bag on the floor. "You're crazy as shit if you think I'm gonna be ok with being two hours away while your nappy headed ashy ass orangutan brother is here trying to murder you?? Guess again. I'm staying."
King let out a sigh. "No you aren't."
"Yes I am."
King grabs my chin "Can you trust me please ?"
"Honestly Ayva, New Jersey is dope. " Bo smiles at Trina "it'd be safe for the both of you.
Trina sighs "implying i have to go too." She didn't argue.
"See. You'll have Trina. Just trust me it's for your own good and makes me sane knowing you're not mixed up in this bullshit. "He grabs my bag kissing me on the forehead before going off putting it in my car.
"You and Hershey bar have nothing to worry about. except for I don't know, bears ? Giant spiders that feed on human flesh especially black girls , uhm and werwolves. " Ace smiles teasingly "that's it. other than that , think of it as a beautiful getaway. " he sticks up both his thumbs grinning stupidly .
Great .
"Did this fool just say wolves ?!" Trina shook her head "nope."
"Ace is being an ass there aren't any wolves." Bo reassures Trina and I
"Thank god, nigga you play too much." I let out a sigh of relief.
King comes back. In "alright I think we are all good to go. Let's get them the hell out of here. "
he starts off "You three follow behind in the van to make sure nobody is following us." he ordered Ace,Slick and Swan. "Bo and I will take Ayva's car."
"We can handle that bro." Swan nods.
"If I see anyone , I'm shooting they ass. Dead" Slick nods that nod like he always does with the crazy gleam in his eye.
"Alright psycho." Ace laughs at Slick "we will meet you there bro."
King nods dapping them Up telling them to be safe and stay close behind before grabbing my hand leading me out to the car.
He was still more quiet than usual not gonna lie it worried me.
He opened the passenger side door for me waiting for me to climb in. I look up at him pulling his face getting his eyes to look at mine as he towered over me. "Look, everything is gonna be ok.. ight ?"
Itry to sound as if I'm not worried or shaken up. when I was worried, as fuck.
Breathe Ayva .
King nods once more, "yeah I know, but I will feel better once I know you're in a safe environment. " he looks at the ground leaning against the open car door.
"I'm sorry I'm putting you through more shit Ayva. I didn't want shit to happen this way and now I feel like my drama is-"
I rest my manicured finger against his lips Making him shut up .
I didn't want him to apologize for anything. not one fucking thing . If his stupid ass knew, he'd know this has been the happiest I've ever been in my entire 18 years of existence.
I've never smiled and laughed so much ..
"Just handle that light weight and return back to me in one piece." I hold up my pinky "promise?"
King smiled without zero hesitation. "I promise." His pinky intertwined with mine sealing the deal.
