"Aaliyah what's up?" my friend since 6th grade Raymond called out to me as I speed walked off to class. I was running late for school today and definitely don't have time to talk.
"What's up my nigga?" I asked as Raymond joined me in my morning trek to first hour.
"Nothing much, I just never see you anymore. What's been up with you?"
"You know tryna figure out who Kaylyn assigned to kill Jason." I spoke as I turned the corner. I hate how the student parking lot is so far from first hour, but I could use the workouts.
"Oh forreal?! Word on the street is it was her man JB."
"What the hell?!! For what reason would JB have to shoot Jason?" I asked taking in the new information.
"I heard Kaylyn told JB that Jason killed Tony because Jason is madly in love with her and he thought Tony was competition." Raymond exclaimed as I quickly came to a halt at his confession. This broad has really lost her mind.
"Really?"
"Yup. That's what the word is via Jamarion and Robert." Raymond spoke. I forgot he was cool with those punks.
"I'll be sure to relay the message homie thanks." I said returning to my stride.
"Yeah, and Kaylyn has convinced her man that it's his baby she's carrying. But while she's here it's a totally different story." He continued to talk as we got closer to our English class.
"That bitch's reign on her so called throne is over with. She's wayyyyy outta line and has overstepped her boundaries too many times. I'm sorry I ain't whoop this bitch ass a long time ago, cuz surely an ass whoopen is well overdue." I spoke sounding more like Rico than myself. That was my final word before entering 1st hour. Kaylyn was seriously going to get hers, I'll see to it myself.
***************************
"Let me get this straight..Kaylyn's man is the one who shot Jason?" Rico asked just as confused as I was about the confession.
"Yes sir! That's what Raymond told me." I spoke as I watched Rico pace back and forth in front of me. He was steaming.
"Iight, I got something coming for that bitch nigga." He spat.
"Woah woah, don't you think you're acting a little too much off impact homie. I hear JB is a notorious gangster." Cameron spoke from his spot on the couch next to Sonya.
"Yeah, he never rides alone." Jason spoke
"Fuck all that, Cameron you still down right?" Rico asked determined for revenge.
"Yeah man, but don't you think we should come with a more elaborated plan?" He asked.
"Yeah baby, I don't want you getting hurt." I spoke with concern.
"Look, this the plan I'ma act like I'm tryna buy sum herb from this nigga. A lot of it so he gotta go back to the crib and I'ma follow him and Cameron you follow us to his house I wait til he go grab the stash I pop this nigga and we good." Rico spoke with a smile.
"Um...I don't like that plan baby." I spoke as Rico smile vanished.
"And why not?"
"Because he's fuckin dangerous that's why." I yelled.
"Ok? And I'm not?" Rico asked.
"Yeah yo man, don't fuck around." Jason spoke.
"Look, I just don't want you winding up dead bae that's all." I spoke as my eyes grew teary.
"I'm not gone die, I got this. Yo man a true street soldier baby. Don't worry yo pretty little face. All I need for you to do is watch Kalani tomorrow night." Rico spoke grabbing my face and looking at my now tear filled eyes.
"Ok baby. Promise you'll return to me alive." I spoke as a tear rolled down my face.
"I promise you." Rico spoke kissing me.
******************************
Well here I am sitting in Rico's living room with Kalani watching her play the Wii. I was too jittery to even play with her. I can't believe Rico is actually going to face JB. All I can do is pray for my man's safe return.
"I'll be right back. I'm going to the bathroom." Kalani called to me as she put Just Dance 4 on pause.
"Ok." I responded starring back off into space. Just as I began to get lost in my thoughts I was interrupted by Kalani yelling my name.
"I'm coming!!!" I responded. "What's the matter?!!" I asked as I arrived at the bathroom door.
"I think I started my period." She spoke grabbing her stomach in pain. Shit! And I don't have any pads on me.
"Um, okay. I'm going to run to Walgreens really quick and grab you some pads. You can take a shower if you like." I spoke as I started for the front door.
"Okay. Liyah thank you." She spoke as I grabbed my jacket off the couch, fall was definitely now in full effect.
**************
When I arrived back at Rico's house I saw Rico's Mustang out front. Well, at least I know he's okay enough to drive home. I opened the front door and saw him sitting on the couch, his shirt covered in blood and he was starring at his 9.
"Baby, what's the matter?" I asked as I ran over to sit by him.
"I never thought it would be so easy to take a man's life." Rico mumbled barely audible. I instantly got chills from his words.
"You killed him?" I asked already knowing the answer.
"I had to bae, he was getting way too reckless."
"Look bae I don't want any details okay? I'm just glad you're alright."
"I'm fine, he put up one hell of a fight though." Rico spoke finally looking at me. He had a bloody nose and busted lip.
"I'm just glad the next time I saw you it wasn't you getting zipped up in a body bag." I spoke kissing him.
"Ouch!"
"Sorry baby, let's get you cleaned up." Speaking of getting cleaned up I forgot all about Kalani and sounds to me like she's just getting out the shower. I don't want her seeing Rico like this. I may not agree with all of his actions but one thing's for certain I'll be here for him no matter what. Just like a true wifey should.
