Exiled... Again

Quran 1

I used to think my mom was a good judge of character, I mean her new husband Ethan was coo as fuck and she did warn me that Mekhi was a slutbag whore... but for the life of me I couldn't understand why she was so blinded by Tripp. That nigga was my right hand and everything but clearly she didn't see that Tripp was a bad influence on me, he was definitely a bigger freak than I was, and he cussed like a sailor. But my mom wouldn't hear a single bad word about Thaddeus, he had that southern gentleman shyt down pat, he would take his hat off whenever he entered the house, always address my stepdad, was extremely polite to my mom, never cussed or said anything of the shyt he said when we were alone. Usually, my mom could see through the bullshyt but with Tripp..... that nigga was good I'll give him that; as we sat in the living room Tripp made my baby sister Essense smile, all she ever did for me was shyt when I held her and yet this nigga Tripp damn near had her newborn ass laughing. I checked my phone again and my cousins still hadn't hit me back, as much as I loved them niggas being on time was definitely something they were allergic to.

"Tripp quit scaring my sister and let's go, they aren't responding to my text and I don't wanna leave Torique alone with Poochie for too long." I said getting up and as soon as Tripp stepped away from my sister she started crying. "How are you so good with kids?" I asked looking at him because this shyt was starting to annoy me.

"I told you Quran, my sister and her husband always leave their kids with me when they come to visit... I guess it comes naturally, kids just know I'm the fun uncle. Ms. Rachel as always it was good to see you." Tripp said kissing my mom on the cheek. "Hopefully we can stop by before we head out." Tripp said smiling and thankfully my stepdad came and put his arm around my mom.

"Ayy don't be kissin on my wife." He said smiling, Ethan was coo as fuck but he would never replace my real dad.

"Quran are you going to stop by before you leave?" My mom asked hopefully and I avoided her eyes because I was afraid that if I looked into her eyes I would see something I wasn't ready for, I still had dreams about the police coming and arresting her for my dad's murder. Even though I wanted to believe she didn't have shyt to do with it, there was something he was hiding from me and I didn't like it.

"I'll try but we wanna hit the road as soon as possible." I said looking at her cheek, but I could still feel the disappointment coming off of her in waves. "Don't be like that, you'll be down there in two weeks for Easter, in the meantime I'll be on my best behavior." I said smiling, I gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, dapped up my stepdad, kissed my little sister and flew out the door. When we got outside and I punched Tripp in the arm.

"Oww what was that for?" Tripp asked rubbing his arm. "I told you about doing that shyt Quran, all my weight is located in my dick, the rest of me is skin and bones so you can't just be hittin me for no damn reason."

"Halloween? Nigga really?" I said still trippin off the fact that he was dating De'Vaugh of all people, not that there was anything wrong with that but I wanted to know the details of how he and Victor ended and how he and De'Vaugh started. We got in the car and Tripp opened a secret compartment and pulled out a blunt.

"After you left, I went to school one day to find out that Victor not only had a girlfriend... but that he also had her and another chick pregnant. I was pissed but I thought we could work through it because I loved that nigga.... tell me why I had to beat this nigga's ass before first period." Tripp said lighting up and I could tell he was getting mad just thinking about it. "We were sitting in homeroom and Victor started talkin greasy, talkin about he fuckin hated my gay ass and how I manipulate him into being gay and how I took advantage of him in his confused state.... Nigga you were suckin Jacobi's dick before I even met you, OOOOHHH and Jacobi beat that niggas ass as well." Tripp said.
