Small City, Big Problems

Friend Or Foe?

~Three weeks Later~
***Niecey POV***

"I dont know dad. I think im cool on that friendship. Stop forcing it." I looked up at my dad annoyed, he gave me a weird look.
"Its literally been weeks how long are you girls gonna keep this up?" he grabbed the milk out the fridge. I closed my laptop aggravated ass hell.
"Keep what up." I hopped up and went to the living room. Someone sarted honking outside as soon as i sat down. I groaned as I got up to see who it is. I looked out the window to see Red. I looked in the kitchen to see if my dad had heard the honking. He sitting at the table reading his newspaper.
"Alright dad im out." I called out. I heard him getting up from the table. Fuck I'm about to damn near shit my pants. Sneaking and having uncle dates is weird. Im nervous and glad at the same time. Im tired of sneaking.He needs to know that we straight be kicking it. I stared at him wide eyed.
"Niecey why are you making that face?" he looked out the window and i watched them make eye contact.
"Why the hell is red outside of my house?" he snapped.
"That is your brother! My uncle.." i mumbled.
"He's been far from a brother to me and a uncle to you so how so." he looked at me so pissed.
"Why dont yal just talk instead of holding grudges!" i yelled.
"Stay in your place! You are my child and if you want to stay under my roof.....you will abide by my rules. Red is off limits he is way too dangerous and reckless!" he yelled back.
I stormed out. Never did he just try to use that against me! I will live somewhere else if its that serious. I hoped in the back.
"Never got why my brother try to control things he don't understand." Red passed me a blunt looking out the window at my dad standing on the porch.
"Who is this." I sat back eyeing the guy in the front seat.
"My son."He started up the car.
"Son?" I couldve sworn rico was his only son.
"Yup. Yo cousin." He pulled up on lala's street.
"What we doing?" I passed him the blunt.
"I heard this where frank be at."
"Why are you so obsessed with frank." Im so tired of hearing his name. This beef is so petty.
"Cause i know what he did." he pulled up in front of lala's house.
"What he do?"
"He killed my son." red loaded up a gun. My heart started racing.
"Wait what are you doing!"I screamed having a panic attack.
"Its good you just need to chill out." He got out the car.
"Please dont hurt lala." I screamed out. He nodded then knocked on the door. Lala swung the door open. She stared at him like he crazy. I love how she aint scared of shit. She looked at me and started shaking her head. I got out the car and marched up to her.
"What?" I stood so close we literally three seconds away from kissing.
"Oh so you tough now." Lala laughed.
"Where is frank im not gon ask you again ma." Red stepped up. She looked him up and down.
"He not here I dont fuck with him." She rolled her eyes.
"Okay." Red nodded and walked off.
"Why are you with him." Lala titled her head to the side.
"Because he my uncle." I shrugged and walked off. Everybody looking at me different now. And to be honest, I kind of like it. Im tired of being lala's back bone. Im tired of being the quiet nice one. I wanna be the one that pop off. People be having me fucked up. My uncle one of the biggest pushers in the city. It's about time I started acting like it.

***Luna POV***
"Tyler why are you always around." I rolled my eyes."
"First off," He pressed his lips together.
"Ciara he suspect you need to ask around and make sure he ain't never had a dick in his ass." I closed my locker. Palina started hollering.
"Really P...you posed to be my Bestfriend." He shoved her.
"Don't be pushing on my girl." I walked off.
"Your girl?Last time I checked she was frank's girl." Tyler giggled.
"Boy dont play with me like that. You know I ain't no type of gay."
"So what's the word what we doing today?" Palina walked on the side of me trying to keep up.
"Shit, lala having a party but she probably don't wanna see yo ass." I laughed. She started cracking up.
"Sus is grown. She not worried about me dating frank." She played in her bundles. Part of me feel like I need to tell her to go find another Nigga, but I can't tell her how to live her life. Shit if that's what she want I can't stop her. Palina always been my low key quiet friend. We used to be so tight, me her and grace. The three amingos. But when we got in high school everything changed. She got lost in the crowd that's why people only thought it was two of us. She never hangs with us out of school that's why I can't take our friendship serious. Her parents still treat her like she five. It's annoying so I try to stay away. The only reason she know frank is because she lied to her moma the other night and came to a party with me. They met and clicked so fast I couldn't stop the shit. He still don't know she in high school. I looked at her blankly.
"What bitch." She laughed.
"Did you tell him yet?" I raised my eyebrow.
"I said no earlier....I will Luna god damn. I gotta deal with my strict ass parents now I gotta deal with you being strict too. Geshaa." She groaned. I laughed at her dramatic ass. She's lucky she got both of her parents in her life. I don't. One is dead and I don't know where the fuck the other is.
"Sorry." She looked down. She must've just remembered what was going on and who she talking to.
"It's cool." I started to walk off.
"I'll lie." She yelled out.
"Lie about what now." I laughed.
"About being at your house so I can go to the party." She smiled. I know Palina. She ain't doing none but trying to keep a eye on that nothing ass nigga. I can't stop lala if she slap the fuck out of her just for being there.
"I don't know lala-,"
"I wanna meet her." She gave me a cheesy smile. Sometimes this bitch just try way too hard.
"Okay." I nodded and walked off to my car. When I hopped in I took a deep breathe. Shit this bitch putting extra drama in my life.
"Luna." I looked over to see Lonell ass.
"Get the fuck away from my car." I looked around for my pepper spray.
"Luna please listen please!"
"My ex boyfriend a police officer and he finna come get your ass." I rolled down the window and pepper sprayed the hell out of his face. I started up the car and put it in reverse.
"Luna I have to explain myself!" He started walking up to my car. I hit the gas on his ass. How dare he just pop up at my school! What the fuck is up with his weird ass? I dailed Thomas number. It rang then sent me to a automatic voicemail. He probably out with his girlfriend. I pulled up in front of lala's house and hopped out as soon as I parked. I ran up to the door and banged on it. Lala opened the door looking confused.
"He came to my school!" I bussed in crying.
"What who!" She tried to calm me down.
"Lonell crazy ass ouu I swear to god I wanna Kill that nigga!" I'm so furious right now all I see is red.
"What did he do, did he do something to you." She checked for bruises.
"No but I want Thomas to lock his ass up! We gotta tell him!" I started to panic.
"Chill!" Lala rubbed her face frustrated .
"What the fuck is so hard about this! There is one thing to do! Send that nigga to jail! He killed our granny remember!" I screamed. Sharee came out the back room.
"Why didn't you tell me she was here!" I snapped.
"I couldn't stop you...once you start ain't no stopping." She held up her hands.
"Sharee..." I tried to reach for her hand.
"Who killed our granny?" She yanked away.
"Sharee you are 11 years old don't yank away from your sister like that!" Lala yelled .
"Sharee,you okay?" I looked at her confused
"No! I'm not a baby! I'm tired of people lying to me!" Lala slapped her face .
"Watch yo mouth lil girl!" She screamed. Sharee cried and stomped off.
"Where is she getting that attitude from!" I shook my head.
"Where do you think? She been with us for the last couple months and look at her attitude. Trifling." Lala sat down shaking her head.
"Shit we get it from our moma." I laughed sitting next to her. She looked over at me and chuckled.
"Yes I remember the first time we went over aunt carol house...she wasn't having no shit." Lala laughed.
