"He's back." I sniffed.
"Who's back?" She raised her eyebrows.
"Joey's back. And he's even more perverted" I cringed.
"Swea to god" Sorell widened her eyes.
"Why would I lie?" I rolled my eyes.
"I can't sleep there tonight I refuse" I mumbled.
"You over Tre's house?"
I nodded.
"You want me to come over there? I'll be there inna heartbeat" She said.
"Nah I just want some alone time. Tre don't even know I'm over here" I sighed.
"Okay pooh, the pain not gon last forever I promise" She smiled.
I blew a kiss over the phone and hung up. My moms ex boyfriend Joey lost his job and my mom being who she is of course letting him move in until he got back on his feet. He reminded me of the men I dealt with when I was in foster care. Although he never raped me he did touch me inappropriately and gave me lustful stares. When I found out he was back I went straight over Tre's house after asking my Aunt Kim if I could spend the night. So here I was now in the guest room where I used to sleep all the time.
Before I came here I went to the corner store to get me some snacks so I was just eating some Takis while I was watching Black Inc Crew.
The door opened and I glanced seeing Rico and a girl come in.
"Fuck you doin in here?" He mugged shutting the door behind him.
"This your bitch Rico? The fuck you bring me here for nigga!" She pushed him.
"I'll knock you the fuck out hit me again" He gritted. She rolled her eyes crossing her arms.
"Well who this bitch then?" She asked.
"Fuck you doin in here Esme? Yo house across the street" He frowned.
"I can't sleep there tonight" I shook my head.
"Well you gon have to exit this room cuz Rico got needs"
"I was here first" I crossed my arms across my chest.
"Bitch you gon get the fuck out or imma drag you out" She laughed.
"Stop callin her a bitch" He told her.
"You gon defend this bitch?" She looked at him like he was crazy.
"You gon have to step you doin too much for me" He shrugged.
"Fuck you nigga dick prolly little anyway" She walked out.
"Bitches be bonkers fr." He followed after her and once I heard the front door slam he came back in the room a few moments later.
"I'm sorry I messed up your appointment" I mumbled.
"Her breath smelled like ass anyway" He looked through his drawer pulling out a bag of weed.
"Can you not do that" I sighed.
"If you don't like the smell then get the fuck out" He continued rolling his blunt paying me no mind.
"Does it really take away your problems?" I asked.
"For me yea" He looked back at me.
"Everyone says it gives them anxiety what if it does the same for me?" I frowned.
"Your aunt don't lemme smoke inside come outside with me and find out" He shrugged.
I nodded my head wiping my tears and followed him outside.
"How old is you?" He lit the blunt.
"Two zero"
"And this yo first time smoking?" He eyed me.
"Yes."
"Childish" He shook his head.
"Excuse me?" I raised my eyebrows.
"Inhale that shit and exhale, it's so simple" He watched as I struggled inhaling the blunt.
"Do you have any type of patience?" I sighed taking a long puff.
"Hold it" He told me.
My eyes grew wide feeling it in my throat and I coughed watching all the smoke come out.
"You can't do shit right" He laughed.
"Your supposed to be making me feel better" I sighed.
"That ain't my job. You'll be ight" He shrugged.
I just stared at him.
"Stop starin" He took a hit.
"Your never gonna grow as a person if you continue to be mad at the world"
"I'm doin just fine" He shrugged.
"You really think so?" I stared.
"Yo ass come over here like every other day crying and you worrying about me, fuck outta here with that." He spat.
Before I could say anything a girl and a group of niggas walked up to us making Rico grab his gun.
"There go his bitchass" I noticed it was the girl who Rico was arguing with outside the corner store.
"Go inna house" He simply said.
"I want my 1 with this hoe" She pointed at me.
I quickly ran in the house looking for Tre all over the house. When I heard gunshots going off I ran back outside and opened the door getting hit by a bullet. I glanced at Rico before I fell down holding my side. I noticed he got shot in the arm twice but he still bent down to make sure I was okay.
