June 10, Thursday

"I'm hungry."I said while walking through the living room wrapped in my blanket.

"Shiesty nem finna bring us something to eat."

"Why his ass ain't locked up?"I asked her and she chuckled.

"Girl ion know."

"Have they taken him in for questioning or anything?"

"I don't think so."

"Damn so the police really don't do their fucking jobs?"I asked rhetorically.

It's been some days since everything happened at the store and I've been quiet about it.

I also have not been out late at night because of that.

It hasn't affected me in a bad way but I kind of am scared of going out at night now.

From now on I won't go out late unless I'm with someone.

"Kayla you took granny her stuff right?"I asked her as I cleaned up our island counter.

"Yeah she talm bout she told you to make her pink shirts and not no purple."

"She's a lied, she said her favorite color which is purple am I wrong?"

"Nah you ain't."

"Uh un I'm finna call her."I said while going to grab my phone.

I instantly dialed her number and the phone rang before she answered it.

"What?"

"Good morning to you too peanut head."

"Good morning Koko, what's up?"

"What are you doing?"

"Getting a pedicure and I'm trynna watch my show!"

"You getting a pedicure at your house?"

"Don't worry about it, what Koko?"

"Why you lie? Talm bout you told me to make pink shirts for you and not purple."

"First of all who the hell you talking to? Second of all I did tell you pink!"

"No you did not!"

"I'm not finna argue with you Kobi."

"It's Kodi and that's fine but don't be sitting up there telling stories like that. 'Cause I got the messages."I said and she hung up.

"Well damn!"Kayla said and we laughed.

"I love her to death but sometimes I just wanna pull her wig off."

"Bitch my granny don't wear wigs."Kayla said and I laughed.

"She will be soon if she keeps playing with me."

"Come with me outside, they said they're out there."she said while standing up from the couch and putting on her extravagantly decorated crocs.

"Why I gotta go?"

"'Cause I want you to."

"I look a hot mess, no way."

"Kodi come on these niggas don't care, they've dealt with worse."

I sucked my teeth before wrapping back up in my blanket and going to out on my white slippers.

I grabbed my keys and we headed outside.

I locked the doors before we went across the street where they were parked.

"Damn that's how y'all come down?"30 asked us.

"Shut the fuck up, we just got up."Kayla said to him as she was up to Shiesty.

I watched as they started making love to each other.

"Damn you can't speak to yo twin?"someone nudged me, snapping me out of my thoughts.

I looked to my left seeing Kobi.

"Hi Kobi and everybody else."

"Yo lace lift—"Baby K was about to say to me but I cut him off.

"Shut the fuck up!"I spat and everybody laughed.

I looked over at Scarr who looked as if he was in his head thinking and not really paying us any attention.

I studied him trying to read his expression through the mask he had on.

I stopped once I spotted the red S on the side of his ski mask.

"Where were you Monday night?"I asked him.

He shook his head and acted as if he didn't hear me.

"We're you at that corner store, Shinning, Monday night?"I asked him again.

"Nigga she talking to you."Shiesty said while looking over at him.

"What the fuck happened at the corner store?"Kobi asked us.

"He helped me!!"I said while staring at him who was looking off somewhere else and still shaking his head.

"Okay... with what?"Baby K said.

"This nigga was trynna push himself up on me and he helped me out."I explained to them.

"Why the fuck you ain't tell nobody?"Kobi asked me as a sad expression crept upon his face.

"I mean it's handled now, the nigga is dead."I said while still looking at Scarr.

"Oh so nigga that was you?"Shiesty said while looking at Scarr and he just chuckled while still shaking his head no.

He wasn't giving anybody an answer he was just shaking his head slowly.

Almost like he was saying don't worry about it or it's cool.

"Okay ima just go back inside because I need some time to think but if that was you, thank you so much. Oh and thanks for my food, whoever bought it"I said before going inside.

Why would he, someone who I just met, kill someone over me?

I could see if he would've just fought him off of me but he killed him, why would he do that!?

Should I be doing more than just thanking him or should I just expect that because of who he is?

I know everybody wondered why I killed dude.

It ain't about ole girl, dude was my opp and I couldn't just let no lame ass nigga try to assault no female right in front of me.

Any other nigga would've minded his business which wouldn't have been the right thing to do so I just had to do something.

Ion want ole girl neither do I wanna be friends with her I was just helping her out and clearing my bucket list.

She's also one of my patna's sisters so what I did needed to be done.

If I get locked up it'll be for a good reason, I ain't tripping.
