A'dream POV

I was sitting on the couch with my gun in my hands. I was here all alone because Kaizer left been gone for weeks. I don't know where he is.

I told everybody that now it was just between me and Dre. So with that being said they shut me out. Only thing that makes me "apart of the family" is my kids.

I felt real lonely and hurt but I was Ight. I had Treasure and Sierra and my kids. That's all the fuck I needed and wanted.

As soon as this muhfucka came out of hiding, shit was up and that was his ass.

My phone buzzed and I seen he texted me making me shake my head. Now he wants me to go to him so we can fight, then whoever lose that's they life.

I laughed standing up. I just wanted him dead I ain't give a damn about anything else.

I put my phone in my pocket grabbing the keys to the house before leaving out. As I was walking to Dre's house I didn't feel scared at all.

I didn't really fear him, he was a bitch to me. This nigga really ain't shit without a gun.

As I was walking I seen a group of niggas. I took a deep breath noticing how slow they were walking and the black clothing they were wearing.

"Dream?!" One of the niggas called and I scrunched up my face. The nigga jogged over to me and I backed up.

"A'dream?" He questioned.

"Uh yeah, who you is?" I asked and then he lifted up his hoodie showing me his tattoo of my name and birthday.Then it clicked.

"A'jarri?" I asked and he smiled with a nod.

"My brother A'jarri?" I asked and he nodded. I quickly wrapped my arms around him giving him a tight hug and he laughed.

"You made it out?" He asked hugging me back and I nodded.

"Not that my life been any better but yeah." I said and we let each other go.

"I missed you Lil girl." He said and I shook my head.

"Really? Then where have you been? You were suppose to come back for me, but instead you left me for years." I said and he looked down.

"I had to fight my way out! With some help, but not from you!" I yelled and he nodded.

"I'm so sorry A'dream. I didn't mean to leave you ok. But listen when I came back because I did, you were gone." He said.

"And I had no clue as to where you were. So I gave up, but I didn't forget about you or anything like that." He said.

"I told you I was gonna come back as soon as I got enough money so that I could take care of both of us. I did and when I came back you were gone. And me having no clue where you were or could've gone I gave up on the idea of even trying to find you." He said and a tear rolled down my face.

"I thought you forgot about me." I said and he pulled me into another hug.

"Never forgot, that's why I got yo name tatted dude. So I would never forget." He said and I nodded.

"But I'm sorry for maybe not coming back soon enough and not trying to at least look for you. I'm sorry, I love you tho." He said letting me go.

"I love you too, but I can't be mad at you. Especially now that I know what happened." I said and he nodded.

"Dream?" Another dude walked up to me.

"Who da fuck are you?" I asked and he laughed. AJ backed up with a small smile on his face.

"5-22-32." He said and I put my hand over my mouth as he pulled me into a hug.

"I thought you died." I said as tears ran down my face.

"Nah crybaby, people came and found me then took me to the hospital. I was in a coma for damn near a year. And then when I was finally better I tried to find you but I couldn't so I gave up." He said letting me go.

"Y'all niggas be late as fuck." I said and they laughed.

"How late?" Chase asked.

"Hella late, I got 4 kids now-" Both their bodies dropped and I smacked my lips.

"Assholes." I mumbled kicking them both and they laughed standing up.

"4?!" They asked and I nodded.

"Yes 4 kids." I said

"But, Chase I really thought you were dead and AJ I thought you forgot about me." I said with a pout.

"You da one who disappeared." Chase said.

"I didn't disappear I was saved by a family I use to think of as my own." I said looking down.

"Who did what we'll kill em." AJ said and I chuckled.

"No it's fine it's my fault. I made a big mistake and now I have to t- y'all know Deondre?" I asked and they looked at each other then at me nodding.

"Are y'all cool?" I asked and they nodded.

"But we won't be if he did sum to you." AJ said.

"He did, he put his hands on me. And now he's trying to kill me." I said and they looked at each other.

"Go home, Chase go wit her." He said before walking away.

"Wait! AJ whe-"

"Go home!" He yelled and I immediately turned the other way walking back home with Chase.

"4 kids huh?" I laughed nodding.

"Yeah, my oldest his name is King. My second her name is Alaidria. Third is Zyaire and lastly is Harmony. Deondre ha daddy." I said and he nodded.

"Damn you really a mama huh?" He asked and I nodded with a smile

"And not even 21." He said shaking his head.

"Bitch don't judge." I said and he chuckled.

"How old are these kids?" He asked.

"5, finna be 3, finna 2, and finna be 5 months." I said and his eyes widened.

"Damn A'dream, you been getting busy." He said and I playfully rolled my eyes.

"Whatever, I'm just not having anymore kids. I'm fine with the 4 I have." I said with a smile.

"You got any kids?" I asked and he shook his head.

"My ex um I did get her pregnant but she got an abortion." He said and I shook my head.

"Damn, did you know?" I asked and he shook his head,

"Nah she ain't say shit to me about getting one she just got one. Then gon SuRpRiSe me." He said and I laughed not meaning to.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to laugh." I said and he chuckled.

"You good, it ain't nun. But best believe I broke up wit her dat day." He said and I nodded.

"I'm sorry that happened to you Chase." I said.

"It's Ight, it's over wit I'm not worried bout it no more." He said with a shrug. It grew silent between us and I just smile.

It felt good to have the two people I really missed and loved back in my life. I felt safer and loved genuinely.

Finally making it back to the house I got out my key going in.

"Dis shit nice as fuck." Chase said coming in and I smiled closing the door.

"Thank you." I said and he nodded taking a seat on the couch.

"Who dat is?" He asked pointing to the picture of me and Kaizer that hung on the wall. I grabbed it throwing it in the trash.

"Damn." He said with a laugh.

"That's my ex/baby daddy." I mumbled sitting down beside him.

"Oh ok, y'all looked happy as fuck in that picture tho what happened?" He asked and I sighed.

"A long story really. We just don't work right. But we keep trying, but shit just don't seem to work." I said with a shrug

"Sorry to hear that." He said and I nodded. Not saying anything else we just sat in silence. This silence was one where there was a lot we wanted to say but didn't wanna say it.

We looked at each before just getting on our phones. I really wanted to talk to my kids. But every time I call Miya she don't damn answer.

Everybody just didn't fuck with me anymore but oh well it is what it is.

About 10 minutes later there was a knock on the door. I got up to go open it and there stood A'jarri who held Deondre by his hoodie.

My eyes widened seeing how beaten up Dre looked and seeing he was crying.

"Tell her you sorry." AJ said and Dre looked at me.

"Sorry." He said.

"Make it sound genuine!" AJ snapped and he jumped.

"I'm sorry A'dream." He told me.

"Tell her what you sorry for." AJ said.

"I'm sorry for hitting you and trying to kill you Ight." He said and I smiled.

"Weak ass." AJ said shaking his head pulling out his gun.

"You see her?" He asked Dre and he nodded.

"Come here." He said pulling him outside.

"Look at Dis house. Don't you ever come to this bitch, ya hea?" AJ asked him and he nodded.

"Cuz next time you do, imma blow yo shit. Understood?" He questioned and Dre nodded.

"You better not touch her, or her kids. Don't even step foot on her shit." He said letting Dre go finally.

"You know what, I don't even know why I'm telling you Dis." He said with a chuckle.

"AYE!" He yelled and then all the sudden hella niggas came outta nowhere.

"Take his ass back to da trap and handle him. Burn him then lock my shit up." He said and they nodded taking Dre and going on their way.

"You don't gotta worry bout him no more." He said before going in the house. I stood there shocked, I ain't know he was like that.

I went back in the house seeing him and Chase in the kitchen making me shake my head.

"Uh A'jarri I have a question." I said and he looked at me.

"Those niggas, uh where did they come from?" I asked and he laughed.

"They be everywhere. They follow me. They do what I say." He said and I nodded.

"How come? Niggas ain't just gon do what you say." I said.

"My drug business, they work for me." He said.

"Drug business?" I asked and he nodded. Deciding not to say anything else I just smiled.

"Are y'all gon stay here?" I asked and they looked at each other.

"Dreamy we can't stay here." Chase said and I sighed. Looking down a tear rolled down my face.

"Wipe Yo face!" AJ snapped and I quickly did as told.

"You don't always have to cry." He said and I nodded.

"Me and Chase got shit to do Dream. We work all night, the day is for rest. We have work to do. I'm sorry." He said and I nodded.

"Yeah it's just I live alone. No kids, no family, no boyfriend no friends. By myself everyday every night." I said looking at him.

He sighed pulling out his phone. After a few minutes of typing he put it away looking at me.

"Fine, we got 2 days." He said and I smiled.

"Thank you!" I squealed hugging them both and they laughed.

"Somebody Gotta be spoiling you. You seem like you get yo way a lot." Chase said and I let them go.

"I do, in the end."
