Nahla Reese

"Stop pushing me" I laughed as I walked down the street with Terrance.

"Girl ain't nobody pushing you" He laughed

We were walking to the corner store to get some snacks since we were gonna watch a movie back at my crib.

It's been a week since the incident happened between me and Mir and we still aren't talking.

Honestly my feelings are hurt. All these damns years I've been there for him and did everything in my power for him and he's going to treat me like this? Put a hoe that don't care about him over me?

But that's all on him now. I blocked him on everything including iMessage. I even gave Blast all his books so that his shit would be out of my locker. I wanted nothing to do with him.

"What you tryna get?" He asked as we walked inside the store

"I want some hot crunchy curls and an Arizona" I grabbed the Arizona out the fridge "You know what else I could go for?" I asked walking down the aisle towards him

"What?" He asked

"Some Fríes with mild sauce" I smiled

"Girl we are not walking all the way to Harold's"

"You got a car dummy" I reminded him

"Man you lucky I like you cause I hate driving" He shook his head paying for everything

"Bro I was gonna pay for my shit" I mugged him but he just laughed

"Shut Up and take your bag" he tossed me the bag with my stuff in it.

"So mean" I shook my head trying not to laugh

As we walked back home he wrapped his arm around my shoulder

Ever since the kiss we shared at the park we've been talking and hanging out more and more.

I don't know what this was but I can't lie and say I don't like it. I've known him for years and i know that he's not a cheater or anything like that so I'm not scared that he'll hurt me.

"So we watching Boyz in the hood?" He asked looking down at me

"No nigga. We've already watched it 6 times. And I wanna watch Juice" I pouted

"You're cute when you pout" He smiled

"Nope you just tryna butter me up" I took his hand off of me walking faster

"Wow I give you a compliment and you accuse me of trying to butter you up?" He laughed jogging so he could catch up to me

"Yup" I crossed my arms

"I'm sorry but come on get in the car so we can leave" He unlocked the car throwing the bags in the back before getting in the drivers seat

I was going to make a run for it and run inside my apartment so I could lock him out, but I was hungry and really craving them fries. So I got in.

"I call aux" I said grabbing the aux cord plugging my phone in.

I scrolled through all my songs deciding to play "Foreva" by Young Dolph And T.I

"This my shit" I said dancing a bit



"Bro yo ass embarrassing yoself" He laughed as he turned into Harold's

"Boy stop hating. I can bust yo ass in a dance battle right now" I challenged getting out the car

"I ain't gonna do that to you baby" He smiled grabbing my hand walking in

I walked up to the corner leaning on the edge when someone bumped into me causing me to hit my side on the edge. I hissed in pain.

"You good?" Tee asked

"Yeah Im good" I said lowly because in all honesty I wasn't "ima go to the bathroom real quick" I told him walking off

I walked inside heading to the mirror. I lifted my shirt seeing that the wound was bleeding a bit

"Fuck man" I said out loud grabbing tissue so I could clean it up

Once I was somewhat done I pulled my shirt down washing my hands.

I walked out seeing Terrance waiting with our food.

"Ready?" He asked

"Yeah let's go"

Jamir Coleman (Polo G)

"What's wrong with you?" Leilani asked walking into my room

"Nothing" I shrugged

"Then why you sitting on your bed staring at your phone like you waiting for some?" She took a seat next to me

"I'm waiting to see if Nahla calls me or some"

"What happened between y'all? She hasn't been around in a week"

"We got into an argument and I said some shit I shouldn't have said. She punched me and kicked me out her crib"

"Fuck you say for her to punch you? Cause Nahla don't hit you unless you make her really angry so wassup? Tell me the whole story" She said

"But you cant tell mama" I told her sticking my pinky out so she could promise

"I won't" she locked her pinky with mine

"So you know how I'm dating Jayla right?"

"Yeah. I hate that bitch" She rolled her eyes "but go on"

"I don't understand why y'all don't like her"

"That's a story for later finish your story"

I explained the story to her exactly how it went down and Everything I had said to her.

"Nigga" she smacked the back of my head

"Ow fuck was that for?"

"For being an ungrateful asshole. She literally risked her life and went above and beyond to make sure you got out and mama ain't have to worry about how she was gonna pay for your bail. This girl got shot for you. You know this could've ended way differently? She could've died and for what? For your ungrateful ass?"

I honestly don't know what I would do if anything happened to her. Shit honestly I was going crazy knowing she was shot and I didn't know who did it. I wanted to call and ask but a nigga was scared.

I didn't want to make her more mad at me and make her not want to forgive a nigga.

"Mir think to yourself. How long have you known Nahla?"

"Like 10 years"

"That's literally more than half of the time you've been alive. And ever since y'all met it's always been you two. She's always been there for you so what makes you think she'll switch up on you on now?"

"I'm just torn. Like what do I do when my girl and best friend don't get along?"

"In this case dump the girl. We all don't like her Jamir. Not just Nahla so that speaks volume. But I can only tell you what I think it's up to you on what you do next" she patted my shoulder walking out the room

I let out a sigh of frustration falling on my back just staring at the ceiling. I needed weed in my system cause this shit was going to drive me insane.

I got up from my bed fixing myself up before walking out my room and down the hall.I walked out the apartment jogging down the stairs and out the door onto the street. I made my way towards the trap which was none but 10 minutes away.

I knew everyone was gonna be there so it'll help clear my mind talking to them and getting their opinions.

Reaching the trap I did the knock so they knew it was gang knocking.

"Wassup Nig?" Leek asked opening the door for me

"Shit need to clear my mind" I dapped him up making my way "Wassup" I asked everyone taking a seat

"Just blowin some you wanna hit?" Wooski asked passing the blunt my way

"Hell yeah. Need to clear my mind" I took the blunt hitting it

"Aye bro here" Blast said tossing me a stack of money rolled up in a roll.

"What's this for?" I asked confused because he ain't owe me none

"Nahla told me to give you that. She said you know what it's for" He shrugged hitting his blunt

I passed the blunt back to wooski grabbing the money staring at it for a minute. Knowing that Nahla was mad to the point she ain't even wanna give me the money in person struck a nerve.

"Fuck she giving you that money for? And why she ain't give it to you in person?" Wooksi asked looking from me to Blast

I sighed looking around the room then back at the money

"I kinda spazzed out on her a couple days ago so we ain't really on talking terms" I shook my head "Well really she ain't speaking to me"

"This shit must have been some big shit cause as long as we've known ya'll, ya'll can't stay mad at each other for more than a few hours. Shit a day at the most. So for it to last a couple days is a record for ya'll" Leek said

"Ya'll know how I got locked up right?" I asked and they all nodded their heads " Well that night she took all the weed I had and hit the block selling my shit so she could make enough money to bail me out. When we got back to her crib we started arguing over the whole Jayla shit and then I asked for my shit and she told me what she did" I stopped not really tryna repeat the next part because it get's me heated that I reacted that way

"And?" Wooski said wanting me to continue

"I told her fuck her and that she's ungrateful and a hoe and that's when she decked my shit telling me to get out"

"Hold up! You telling us yo ass was mad when shorty risked her life for yo ass? Nigga you more than anybody know how dangerous this life is and you mad cause she sold yo shit? Nigga she did you a favor. She got yo ass out and still made yo money" Leek shook his head getting up walking off

"Wait. This happened a week ago?" Blast asked

"Yeah why?" I asked

"Don't tell me that's the day she got shot bro" Blast asked with a face that was pleading for me to say it wasn't

"Yeah man. And the worst part I ain't even ask if she was okay bro"

"She got shot bro?" Wooski asked getting heated

"Yeah bro. Paris stitched her ass up cause she robbed some nigga shooting him and then his homie came out the cut bussin at her shooting her side. She ain't wanna go to the ER cause she knew she was either gonna get booked or killed"

Hearing everything that went down that night made my heart drop. I could've lost my best friend that night but instead of being appreciative and shit I was worried about some ain't shit hoe.

"Where it happened?"

"Somewhere around Halsted"

Before I could say some my phone went off with a call from Tee.

"Wassup?"

"Bruh get down to the hospital now.Some wrong with Nahla" He said

"On my way" I said getting up "Nahla in the hospital" I told them and everyone got up running out the door

"Where you going?" Blast asked seeing as I wasn't going in the same direction as them

"Kill them niggas"

"Bro fuck that. Nahla needs you right now. We'll get them"

I looked around contemplating on whether I should go kill them or go with Nahla. Deciding to go with Nahla I ran hopping in the car with them.

He was right. She needs me right now and I ain't gonna leave her alone. I texted Tez and Dre telling them to meet me there because I know they didn't know

My mind was going crazy. I didn't know what happened. How serious shit was or anything. I didn't know what I was going to be walking into and shit was scary.

Once you end up in the hospital for any reason it's always a 50/50 chance of you making out alive. Niggas is ruthless. Go in for a cough and leave in side a coffin

Pulling up I ain't even let the car come to a full stop. I hopped out running in

"Nahla Reese?"I asked the lady at the front desk

"She's in Surgery right now. Please take a seat and we'll let you know when she's out"

"Surgery?"

"Polo" I heard my name being called. I turned around seeing it was Tee

"What happened bro? Fuck she's in surgery for?" I asked him

"Apparently she was shot a few days ago and the wound wasn't stitched up correctly which caused it to get infected. Also some how some of the bullet was still inside so they took her into surgery to get all the bacteria and shit out and the rest of the bullet out"

"She's gonna be good right?"

"I hope so. They said if we would've waited longer to come in she could've died. The bacteria and the bullet could've caused some life threatening shit"

I shook my head trying my best not to cry. I had to be strong. I know my dawg was gonna be good.

I went to take a seat while Tee explained to the rest of them what happened.

"Family of Nahla Reese?" The doctor finally called

It was about 4 hours later but to me it felt like years. Time was going so slow not knowing what was going on.

By now her grandma and brothers were here along with my mom,Lani and Paris

"That's us" Her grandma spoke "How is she doctor? How's my baby?"

"She's good. We took all the bacteria out leaving the wound clean. The remaining of the bullet came out with ease so it wasn't complicated at all. She's all stitched up and resting. We let her sleep it off a bit before letting ya'll know she was good. She's in room 234. Only two at a time" He said before walking off.

"What does he mean remaining bullet? And what fucking wound?" Her grandma started spazzing.

"We don't know ma'am. This is all new to us too" Tee said

Tez looked at me with a mug. I know he knows it had some to do with me. I was gonna have to talk to him and apologize. Shit to everyone really.

I let everyone go before me because I wasn't ready to see her like this. I wasn't ready to see my best friend laid out in a hospital bed.

"Aye doc" I called out

"Yeah?"

"Is there any way I can stay the night with Nahla Reese?"

"Yeah as long as it's okay with your parents and her it's fine" He said walking away

After about an hour everyone had left which meant it was my turn. I made my way to her room walking in seeing her watching the tv

"Hey" I said standing close to the door

"Hey"She said half smiling "Come in"

"How you feeling?"

"Shit I'm good. What Herb say? You know I bounce back with that lil shot" She laughed but instantly stopped "Fuck that hurt" She groaned making me laugh

"Let me find out you a G"

"Boy please I been a G"

"What yo peoples say?"

"They was pissed. Instantly got to tweaking asking me how it happened and why. So I told them I got into with some females and their brothers started spraying shit" She shrugged

"Still ain't throw me under the bus huh?"

"Why would I do? I might want to kill you right now but I won't do you dirty"

"I'm sorry Nahla. You don't know how I feel right now. Knowing I could've lost you hurt me G. Like badly. I shouldn't have spazzed on you like that. And I should've been more appreciative of what you did. I love you bro. More than any hoe out here"

"You gonna have to proof you're sorry but I guess I can accept it for now"She shrugged making me laugh as I walked up to her giving her a hug making sure I didn't hurt her.

"We good?" I asked her

"Yeah we good..For now"

They made up?
