Passing By

Me or Not With Me(Ch. 18)

Kenneth

It's been a whole fucking week since Oneka kicked me out the house. I know that she's going through something but she act like I'm not going through it with her. I've been stopping by the house two times every day. When I come she just ignores me or just stays in the master bedroom. I found out the real reason she kick me out was because she seen me crying about the situation but I don't see how kicking me out it's gonna make anything better. It's only making things worse. All of her friends have been contacting me asking me why isn't she answering her phone and what's wrong with her. Either her mother trying to figure out apparently she hasn't told her yet. How my supposed to help her and comfort her in this devastating time for us if she won't even show her face to me.

But now shit changed.

Just 10 minutes ago I got a call from Candi and that's why I'm rushing over to Nic's now.

Flashback:

"Nah nigga imma bout to drink a couple of drink and call it a night. I ain't looking for no other female." I said to one of my main niggas Tito. We were in the club cause him and my other niggas wanted me to come to take my mind off of Nic and the whole baby situation.

"Man you a buzz kill. It's obvious Nic ain't worried about you nigga cause if she was, you would be with her now. She ain't even call you."

"Nigga don't speak on shit you know nothing about. She hurt right now and I'm giving her, her space. That's why yo ass single now. You don't know how shit works between us so don't try and give advice. I ain't about to cheat on my girl just for a quick fix so miss me with that bullshit for real."

"Damn my nigga. My bad." He said throwing his hands up in defense. "I ain't know u was in love with shorty like dat."

I smacked my lips, "Now nigga you know I been loving her since we was kids, but this time 'round I ain't tryna lose her."

"I feel you Zoo. Real shit. That shit hard to find." He said dapping me up. "Well I don't know about you, but shorty over there with the fat ass looking bad as hell so imma head dat way."

"Arright" with that he left, so I turned in my bar stool towards the bartender.

"Aye lemme get 2 shots." I say dapping him up.

"Ight man. You looked stressed everything alright." He asked.

"Yeah Kyle, just a lot on my mind." Yeah I knew the nigga. I basically know everyone in town cause my hard headed ass ran these streets when I was younger. I still do, but now that I'm older and wiser, I don't drug deal no more. They respect me and the way I had things set up, things looking good for me and my family.

Kyle just shook his head "ok" and slid me two shots.

As I was lifting one to my mouth, my phone started buzzing in my pocket. I took it out and it shown a unknown number. I hit decline.

Not even ten seconds later the same number started calling, so this time I answered.

"Yes?" I said annoying.

"OH MY GOD KENNETH." I heard someone yell on the other line while breathing hard.

"Who's this?"

"It's Candi! You have to go home now!" I stood up quickly and started heading towards the door while still on the phone.

"Why wassup?" I say now exiting the bar.

"It's Nicki....I think she's in trouble!"

By now I was running to my car.

"What happened to her." I hopped in the car turning on the engine and sped off. I didn't even wait for my phone to connect to bluetooth. All I was thinking of was getting home to Onika.
