Small City, Big Problems

Inner Peace

~A Month Later~
***Lala POV***
I hopped up and down exited ass hell.
"I know that leg feels amazing." The doctor laughed.
"Yes! I'm ready to go now!" I smiled so hard. Polo hugged me kissing my forehead a million times.
"Everything already got moved to the new house baby." He kissed my lips.
"Yes!" I jumped on him.
"Keep it PG!"Luna walked in with Sharee.
"I'm so fucking happy right now." I hugged her tight then picked Sharee up.
"Put me down I'm thirteen years old!" Sharee whined.
"You a really small thirteen year old." I giggled putting her down. This feeling is amazing! Eveything is perfect! Polo had some money on the side so he bought Luna and Sharee a little Apartment right down the street from our condo I can't believe my dream is actually coming true! I wish my lost ones was here to experience this with me man. I started to cry.
"Ah baby noo. I knew you was gone do this!" Polo hugged me tight. Luna rubbed my back.
"It's okay big sister." She hugged me.
"I'm just so happy we deserve this." I smiled hard.
"Yes every piece of it." Quan walked up and gave me a hug.  I'm glad to see he got over his little issue he had with me.
"I need a drink let's go drink we take off in the morning." I looked at polo.
"You know ion drink but I will just for today." He laughed. Thomas came in smiling.
"Hey." He gave me a hug.
"Ima go to the car." Polo gave me a kiss then left . He always acting weird around Thomas. I figure it's because Thomas a police officer and he don't want to be seen around the police I get it but Thomas is famliy! If I'm around him you gotta know he legit!
"So you know we have to talk about what happened to Sax sooner or later. I haven't asked because when you don't tell me I just assume you did it."he scratched the back of his head.
"Don't assume!" I got mad thinking about what happened.
"Well are you ready to talk about it?"
"Thomas you know I just got my brace off nd I'm leaving in the morning why are you here trying to bring negativity." I rolled my eyes. Luna walked up.
"What's going on?" She stared at me then at Thomas.
"He just came to wish me good luck on the move." I smiled. Thomas looked at me weird.
"That face tells it all what's going on?" Luna asked again.
"I came to talk about what happened with sax.
"Oh." Luna looked at me.
"I knew it ." He signed.
"You girls are crazy! I can't keep letting you get away with things like this what the hell Lala your own father?" He shook his head.
"I didn't do it!"
"Who did it!"
"Lonell." Luna blurted out.
"What why!" Thomas  looked at me confused.
"Because sax was the reason my moma dead." I stared Thomas in the eye.
"Wait wait what?" Thomas mouth hung open.
"He told me everything. Me and lonell." I felt a shiver go up my spin thinking about how many times they shot my moma car up.
"Wow...." Thomas stood there speechless.
"What you waiting on go lock lonell crazy ass up!" Luna pushed Thomas snapping him back into reality.
"I'll talk to you guys later." He walked out.
"Damn.... lonell going back to jail this shit sad." I shook my head.
"He deserves it! He shouldn't have killed sax! Sax didn't do shit! It wasn't his fault!"
"Yes it was! If moma would've never met him she wouldn't have been a hot head in the first  place." I snapped. I hate that Luna trying to put the blame on lonell! He was in love with our mother! And only reason he never got to see her again was because of sax!
"You know what I'm out." Luna rolled her eyes grabbing Sharee's hang.
"Don't drag my little sister!" I yelled at her. She slammed the door behind her.
"Uhg." I rolled my eyes.
"What was y'all just talm bout. Why she so mad." Quan walked up.
"I don't know and I don't care!" I marched off. I'm sick of drama! This last month ain't been easy for me ! I had to basically learn how to walk again and nobody was there for me! Nobody but polo! But when it's time for drama everybody front and center! I'm tired of the bull shit! I got in the car mad ass hell.
"What's wrong baby."polo fired up a blunt.
"Man I'm tired of bullshit! Thomas wanna pop up after all this time just to ask me some dumb shit! Now my daddy going back to jail because Luna can't keep her fucking mouth closed." I loved sax! But I don't think my dad should go back to jail! He deserves his freedom! He was locked up so long for some shit he didn't even do! I pulled out my phone.
"Lala." I smiled hard when I heard my dad's voice.
"Dad! They coming for you they know you did it!" I talked fast.
"I know. It's all good I need to go back for what I did." The connection started to go out.
"No you don't that's some bullshit I can say you didn't do it!" The phone went silent.
"Hello!" I yelled. I started to cry.
"Calm down Lala." Polo pulled me in.
"Baby it's okay."
"No it's not!" I yanked away.
"It is! I heard him he got peace! That's all that matters! He knows what God want for him!" Polo stared me in my eyes. I sat back taking in what he said. At the end of the day I don't want him going back to jail! This is all my fault! I should've never called him over. My phone started to buzz.
"Hello."
"Yeah he just turned his self in. I wasn't gonna report anything i promise laria." Thomas whispered.
"Okay." I hung up heart broken. I just wanted to have one parent here with me! I just wanted to be able to call one family member other than my sisters on holidays! I just wanted my father! I threw a fit.
"Lala! You can't keep throwing these tantrums you a grown woman pull it together." Polo handed me the blunt. I took a deep breath. Shit he is right! I need to find my peace because right now I feel like I'm about to blow up! I hit the blunt and relaxed.
"My peace." I held the blunt up.
"You crazy." He laughed pulling off.
"Where we going."
"To get drinks remember. I already hit my brothers up and told them to meet us at the restaurant. He smiled.
"Okay let's get lit!" I wiped my tears. I'm tired of feeling depressed! It's about time I enjoy myself again.
