Hustla (BOOK TWO)

Chapter 69

The next morning, Aaliyah went to Carmen's house in a wheel chair. Dre went to the apartment to get things situated there.

"So, how is everything going?", Carmen asked.

"I can't walk", Aaliyah said. "I cant even feel touch or pain in my legs...am I supposed to say everything is going well?"

"You will walk and you will be able to feel touch", Carmen said.

"Nobody knows that for sure", Aaliyah said.

Carmen changed the subject. "Okay but what about the baby?", she asked

"The...the babies are good", she said.

"Babies? Oh my gosh. You're having twins", Carmen said. "And oh my gosh, that's going to cause more complications"

"The doctor said I need to check in with him more frequently", Aaliyah said. "You know what, talking about me isn't help me any so let's talk about you"

"Me? I don't have anything to talk about", Carmen said.

"Two weeks ago you were avoiding Killa. Why? What did he do?", Aaliyah asked.

Carmen sighed. "I'm pregnant", she said.

"What? Congrats...but why avoid him??", Aaliyah asked.

"I don't know. First it's just weird ya know. Like what are our kids going to be to each other? Cousins? Sister or brother?", Carmen asked.

Aaliyah didn't say anything for a moment. "...I could've sworn he wore a condom", she said.

"Killa probably took it off in the middle of it. But it's not your fault and that's not the reason why I didn't tell him at first", Carmen said. "I didn't tell him because I didn't know if I wanted to stay with him"

"Why not? You said it yourself he's changed", Aaliyah said.

"Killa has always had that easy to talk to side to himself. It's just his other side", Carmen said.

"I haven't seen that side recently. Even last night", Aaliyah said.

"...you're right", Carmen said.

"So I don't think it's anything you should be scared of", Aaliyah said. "If anything Jada, calmed him down some"

Carmen nods.

"Can I get something to drink?", Aaliyah asked.

Carmen got up. "Yea, what do you want? I got some sprite, water, lemonade-"

Aaliyah cut Carmen off. "I'll get it", she said.

"Oh..okay", Carmen replied as she sat back down.

Aaliyah rolled the wheel chair to the kitchen.

"Maybe we need to get you motorized wheel chair and pimp your ride out", Carmen said.

Aaliyah chuckled as she got into the kitchen.

Carmen got her phone and began texting Killa.

MESSAGE
Carmen: Did you find her yet?
Killa: nah. We on it though.
Carmen: okay just make sure Dre isn't in the way alright
Killa: I know Carmen🙄
Carmen: do you need my help
Killa: hey, I got this. You just relax alright. I don't even know why you pulled that shit last night anyways. You could've gotten yourself killed.

Carmen read the message but didn't respond. She just rolled her eyes and put the phone down as Aaliyah came back into the living room.

"My arms are going to be super toned", Aaliyah said.

"Yea", Carmen replied.

Aaliyah and Carmen began watching T.V.

(WITH DRE)

While Dre was waiting for the people at the apartment complex to come fix the door, he started cleaning up.

He bent down to pick up a little notebook. It was the notebook Aaliyah used to write down her lists with everything good and everything bad that has happened to her. Before he could open it, he felt somebody come behind him so he put it down and quick stood up and turned around as he pulled his gun out but it was Killa and Olin.

"Y'all don't need to be sneaking up on me like that", Dre said.

"Why? You thought we was your crazy, sexy ass ex", Olin asked.

Dre made a face and shook his head.

"If we were, it's not like you'd shoot her", Killa said.

Dre started cleaning up. "You don't know what I'd do", Dre said.

Killa looked at Olin and Olin looked at Killa.

"Why are y'all here?", Dre asked.

"Cause we need to find that bitch and you the closest thing we go for help", Killa said. "She was trying to hurt my god damn baby"

"I don't think she was going to hurt Jada honestly. I think she was bullshitting. I don't think she would've done the same thing that happened to her to somebody else", Dre said.

"When you "I don't think", to me that's basically an I don't know. And if you don't know, then I don't know so to be on the safe side I need to take this bitch out anyway", Killa said. "And not only that she had two people that I love in harms way"

"Same, here", Dre said.

"And you don't seem to be pissed", Killa said. "Your wife, is paralyzed dude"

"I am. I just have a lot going on in my head", Dre said.

Kill shook his head.

"Listen man, I get you probably still got feelings for the girl or what not, but either she needs some fucking help or she needs to be put down and right now, because she's a threat, she needs to be put down", Olin said.

"Fuck all that. You gone help or not?", Killa asked.

"Later. I gotta wait for these people", Dre replied.

Killa shook his head. "Come on Bruh. Let's go", Killa said to Olin.

Olin and Killa walked out.

Dre shook his head.

"We gotta wait in the car", Killa said.

"What? For what?", Olin asked.

"Dre, aint stupid. He know what he doing", Killa said.

Olin made a face then he caught on. "Ooooh she's going to show up", Olin said.

"Yea", Killa said. "When she does, I'm ending it. I don't care what Dre has to say. That girl is playing with his head"

"Bet", Olin said. "But what if she goes to Carmen's house instead"

"I don't think she knows where Carmen lives", Killa said. "And Carmen got people outside"

"Oh alright", Olin replied.

Killa and Olin got into the car and chilled there to see if Nae would show up.
