Keisha: You really gone shoot me?
Daryl: AHAA , without a question but you lucky I feel sorry for yo lil ass.He put the glock back in his pocket. He was so close that i saw his gold plated tooth.
Daryl: Now i don't mean no trouble lil Dj.
Dj aka Donte' Jerome Coleman aka my Dad. Everybody from the streets call me that. I kinda like it but I kinda don't because it brings back those terrible memories. When my pops died i was a freshman. High School was scary for me but my pops always made sure i was straight. i can still remember when kel came and picked me up to deliver the news. I was broken. I started hitting the streets chilling wit Tonya, she got us into some bad stuff man. I'm working on getting my life straight . Just need a lil push . Somebody to say they believe in me.
Daryl: ...but you know me and Tyra forever right ?
Keisha: hell nah you not about to hurt her , and imma make sure that don't happen no more. You go around terrorizing people for what bruh. Everybody else may be scared of you but i'm not .
Daryl: BITCH DID I ASK FOR ALL THAT ? LOOK , whatever game you got going on, is ova this my last time coming up to this house mane , stop trying to end us because that shit not gone work. If you keep fucking wit who i love , imma fuck wit who you love. How you think yo momma got locked up ?
Keisha: Excuse me ! ?
Daryl: Yeeee lil shorty , you betta watch ya back...( he says walking back to his car)
Daryl: cus i might just come for yo lil boyyyyfriendddd.I stood startled as he drove off. Did i really just hear what i just heard? Did Daryl do something to my momma as some sick revenge for me tryna get him off of Tyra's back ? Did he really just threaten to do something to Dee ?
I open the door and head to my room. I didn't even check if Kel was there or not. I needed some rest. I took a long hot shower and turned on some Lauryn Hill.
I head back downstairs and heard some strange muttering coming from upstairs. I creep up the stairs and notice it was coming from Kelvins room. I put my ear to the door.
Kelvin: yea, yea we're fine Grandma...no you don't need to come... i got it all under control i promise...yea...yea ok..talk to you later.
Grandma lives in New jersey . She always checks on us and even offers my family money from time to time. My mom never accepted it tho. She didn't want to use her. She came down for pops funeral and comforted us. She would fly down here in a heart beat. She always calls where we're from ghetto and it doesn't offend me but it does offend my mom. She can't stand that lady.
I knock on the door.
Keisha: Kel, e-everything alright ?
Kel looked up at me. He looked even more tired then before.
Kel: Yeah KeKe everything's fine, you just go and get some sleep.
