Durk POV
"That nigga Issa is at the crab shack on 22nd right now, you and Von handle that." King gave us the drop on one of the 63rd niggas we were beefing with. "We on it." Me and Von sat outside the restaurant scoping shit out. We saw that nigga Issa walking up to a table of two shorties. We pulled our masks on, hopped out my car and ran to the windows and started blasting.
BANG BANG BANG!
I shot him in the shoulder and in the thigh. He pulled his piece out and started shooting back. We ducked and I nodded for Von to finish this nigga off. I looked over to the right and I saw India on the ground. "India!" I said not noticing that Von was trying to get my attention.
BANG BANG!
Von finished Issa off and grabbed my arm. "NIGGA COME ON! 12 COMING!" We took off to my car and we drove off.
India POV
"ARI?! Are you okay?!" I yelled looking around for Ari. The only thing I remember is hearing gunshots and being knocked to the ground. There was blood coming from my head where I hit it. "India! I'm okay , oh my god ! Your bleeding!" Ari ran towards me. She motioned for the ambulance squad to come over. I saw Issa's body laying on the ground, his head was almost unrecognizable from the gunshot wounds in his face. I was speechless, I've never been in this type of situation before. "India, let's go this shit here is too crazy." Ari said bringing me out of my thoughts. "Okay, can you drive I'm feeling a little light headed." She grabbed my keys and we walked to my car.
The next day...
"India! Your going to be late for school!" I heard my dad yell from downstairs. I looked up at my clock and realized it was already 8:30 and my first class started at 9. I tried to sit up but I felt a sharp pain in my head. "Damn." I heard a knock on my door. "Come in." My dad peeked his head in my room, "Babygirl why aren't you dressed?" "Dad I don't feel too good can I please stay home." I didn't dare tell him what happened yesterday, he wouldn't ever let me leave the house again. He came over and sat beside me on the bed. "Do you need to see a doctor?" He said with genuine concern. "No dad, it's just a female thing." He looked uncomfortable and I laughed. "Oh shit okay , well if you need anything Juanita is just a call away." He got up and left my room. Just as I was about to turn over and take a nap I got a text from Durk.
Durk- Aye??
Me-What?
Durk- Are you okay?
Me- Why wouldn't I be?
Durk- I heard you were at the restaurant when it got shot up, just checking to make sure you good
I looked at my phone and rolled my eyes. That damn Ari always ready to tell some shit.
Me- I'm fine now can you lose my number like I asked you to.
Durk- India it doesn't have to be this way, I still would like to be your friend
Me- I don't want to be your friend
Durk- smh alright yo
I blocked his number and rolled over. Before I knew it I was sound asleep.
Durk POV
India had a nigga mind gone, I swear I would've never even blasted at ole dude if I would've known she was in there. I looked at my phone and I had a text from King.
King- Come by my office tomorrow morning for breakfast, 10:30, don't be late
I just stared at his message and turned my phone off, I was stressed out. I pulled my weed out of my jacket pocket and started to roll a backwood. Just as I was about to light it my doorbell rang. I rolled my eyes and got up to see who it was. When I saw the person who was on the other side of the door I almost shitted myself. I opened the door and made eye contact with the one person I would have never expected to see. My mom. "Hey baby , look how big you've gotten!" I couldn't find any words to say to her. I didn't necessarily hate her but I damn sure didn't love her. "How did you find out where I stay?" She looked down at her worn out shoes. "Well you know, people talk, plus I know you've always liked this apartment complex, you used to say whenever we got on our feet we would move right in." She laughed a weak smile. My mom was once so beautiful and happy but when my dad left shit went downhill. She started drinking and doing drugs and now she barely looks recognizable. "What do you want ma?" I said getting annoyed. "Baby I'm trying to get clean, I really am, I just need help, if you could loan me $200, I promise I will pay you back." See, this that bullshit she always trying to pull. "I'm not giving you any money." She looked me dead in my face and spit in it. "Fine then, dumb ass bitch! You get some money and turn all Hollywood on your own momma!" Lord knows I wanted to knock this bitch head off but instead I wiped my face off with my shirt and slammed the door in her face. This was my reality.
