JASMINE

Justin's birthday went well after I got myself together . we went out to eat , to the carnival , and the mall then went home because I'm pregnant and my feet get swollen . my phone rang as I laid in bed I got up answering not looking at the caller ID and hoping it wasn't Ralph . it wasn't it was Goldy , the person running my trap while I'm gone .

"wassup ?"

"we got a issue , niggas getting outta control since you gone . some nigga trynna sell on our turf and take all our shit"

"fuck you calling me for ? handle it . I left you in charge are you making me regret it ?"

"nahh boss I got you" he hung up

~2 weeks later ...

i got up to use the bathroom when I get a phone call from Ronald . He work for me back at the trap . he second in line to run shit .

"wassup ?"

"yo Joker , Goldy in jail"

"the fuck his stupid ass do ?"

"he handled that shit he was telling you about . but dumb ass got caught ."

"why he ain't send the guys ?"

"he wanted to do it hisself personally and not make a whole scene about it"

"fuck man ! you next in line nigga don't fuck up my shit aight ? I'm counting on you"

"aight boss"

We hung up and I turned to the news to see if it was talking about what happened and sure enough it was .

"21 year old Gerald Fisher also known as Goldy was arrested for first degree murder of 54 year old Ralph Daniels..."

I couldn't believe what the reporter just said then I saw his picture . it was my father I cried silent cries I didn't want to wake anybody since it was 3 in the morning but it didn't work because Marcus woke up .

"hey what's wrong ?"

"they killed my father ! he's dead !"

"who ?"

"Goldy"

"the one taking over you trap for you"

"yea , he didn't know he was my father . he was selling on our turf and tried to rob us so Goldy got back at him and killed him ! Ralph didn't know that it was my turf he ain't know I trapped ! it was my way of living when he left me . who knew that when I told him I hated him I would never be able to take it back ? I'm parent less Marcus , I'm a parent less child !" I cried and cried and Marcus did the same thing he did last night . calmed me down .

"remember you are carrying my child stop stressing or you gonna lose him"

"don't you mean her ! were having a girl !" I laughed trying to make myself feel better but I was still hurting inside
