Pretty long chapter

Kevontae White (Lil Blast) Blast

"Yo some sneaky ass shit been going on and I ain't liking it" Wooski said as he lit his blunt

"With Tee And Leek?" I asked

"Hell yeah them niggas plotting and we better get them before they do some shit to hurt Polo or Nahla" 24 said

"Nah ima talk to them first and see fuck they problem is. We don't need to be acting off of impulse cause anything we do can affect Polo" I told them

I really needed to talk to them niggas cause one thing I wasn't gonna tolerate was them disrespecting Polo. Especially when all Polo ass did was look out for them niggas. If Nahla wasn't dating the nigga and Polo wasn't about to get another court date I probably would've been murked his ass but now I gotta handle everything differently

"All I know is that they better not be behind the reason that Polo behind bars. Cause then I'll definitely end them niggas life and not care one bit." Duckio said as he took a hit of the blunt

It's crazy how you meet niggas in such a short period of time but they end up being realer than yo homies that you've known your whole life

"We gotta think about Nahla ya'll. Remember she dating that fuck nigga" I told them hitting the blunt

"I'll buy her ass some wings and brownies and she'll be ight" Duckio shrugged

"And ya'll know damn well If she finds out her little boyfriend doing some fuck shit to Polo she'll personally handle him. We all know Polo her heart so she won't take no disrespect or disloyalty towards him" Wooski said making me nod my head in agreement

I got up fixing myself so I could go outside and get some fresh air

As I walked out the door my phone went off with a call from Tee

"Fuck this Nigga want?" I said to myself as I answered the call "wassup?"

"What y'all on? Haven't hung with y'all niggas in some time" he laughed over the phone

"I mean how could you when you been too busy being a snake ass nigga" I said not caring about shit that came out my mouth.

I wasn't about to act like we was cool

"Fuck you talking about?"

"Man bro come on. It's been how many months since Polo's been booked and you haven't gone to see his ass once and you the only one with a whip. Don't answer his calls or anything. Then you been dodging our Shit too like wassup?" I said as the rest of the guys came out joining me

"Who's that?" Wooski asked

"Tee" I mouthed before telling them to be quiet so I could put it on speaker so they could hear

"It ain't even like that man. I ain't been to see Polo cause I know he ain't tryna see me. His ass stopped fucking with me when I started dating Nahla and we all know that. You can't stand there and tell me that Polo feel the same way he felt about me before the whole Nahla situation. And as far as Phone calls and Fucking with y'all I ain't even on no dirt. A nigga finally got a job. Been working at an Amazon warehouse. I swear on my life I ain't doing none behind y'all back" He said but I still wasn't trusting him

"Man I don't even know. Yo ass just gonna have to prove to us that you ain't on no snake shit cause at this point we all ain't fucking with you" I told him

"Shit well let me know how then but I gotta get to work. But before I leave have you talked to Nahla at all today?"He asked making me frown cause he was with her

"I did a few hours ago. Why wassup? Weren't you with her?"

"I was but she was out of it. Like she wasn't her normal self and I don't know what's wrong. She kept telling me nothing but I know that was a lie" He said sounding scared" she hasn't answered my calls or text since I dropped her off and that was 2 hours ago"

"I'll call her and see wassup but I'm sure it ain't nothing" I told him even though my heart started racing

"Ight bet and let me know when you find some out" He said before hanging up

"Aye everyone text Nahla" I told them seeing if at least one of us gets an answer

As I was getting ready to text her I get a phone call from Tez

"Wassup?" I answered hoping he was calling saying he's with Nahla

"Aye yo bro you at the crib?"

"Nah I'm at Wooski's why wassup?"

"Nahla she ain't answering me and honestly I have an uneasy feeling. I'm about to head home but it's a two and a half hour drive so call or see if you can head to the crib and make sure she good" He said

"Bet don't worry about it" I said hanging up

"She hasn't answered our text or calls" Wooksi said with a look of concern covering his face

"Man Ima go check up on her" I told them walking down the steps

"Hold up I'm coming too" Wooski said handing Duckio the keys to his crib "Lock up if ya'll leave" He walked down the steps and we started walking down the street

"How you gonna leave and leave them there" I asked him laughing

"Aye they ain't wanna leave and I wasn't about to stay back when there's a possibility some wrong with Nahla. You know that's my sis" he told me

"I feel you"

"I'm praying she good bro cause remember last time she did this?" He said reminding me of the time she almost overdosed.

That night was the night I seen both of my best friends in so much pain. Mir had found her laying in her room in the dark with two empty prescription bottles next to her. Her body was basically lifeless. I don't think I've ever seen Mir so scared in my life. So I was praying this wasn't a repeat because I don't think I handle going through that again.

As we reached the next block my phone went off with a call from the county. I instantly answered knowing that it was Mir and maybe he could give us some good news

"Wassup bro" I said as I heard his voice come through the phone

"Ya'll talk to Nahla? She ain't answer and this ain't like her"

"Nah man. She hasn't been answering nobody. Not even Tez or Tee. Me and Wooski on our way to her crib right now" I told him looking around

The phone got quiet followed by a quiet "Shit" coming from Mir

"What happened bro?"

"Run ya'll run. Bro I don't know why but I just got a bad feeling. Like my heart just sunk to the pit of my stomach. Some ain't right. And Trey's birthday is in two days bro Nahla going through it" He said panicking

Once he said that I took off running the fastest I think I ever ran until I got to her building. I unlocked the outside door then took off running to her apartment with Wooski right behind. I unlocked the door running in heading to Nahla's room but she wasn't there

"Nahla" I yelled looking around

"Nahla bro where yo ass at?" Wooski yelled as he went into the other rooms to look

"Polo bro she ain't here. Bro she ain't here" I said feeling like I was going about to lose it

"The cemetery. She gotta be there" He said

"Wooski bro call an uber to Oak woods Cemetery" I told him and he immediately take his phone out.

We needed an uber cause if we walked it would take us about 4 hours and we ain't have that much time.

"It's two minutes away let's go. It just got done dropping someone off down the street " He said running out with me right behind him.

As we ran to the front of the building the uber was pulling up. We wasted no time getting in

"Aye man I gotta go but ima try and get another call within in hour" Polo said before the line cut off

"Bruh this uber needs to go faster before I snap" I said

"Times like these is when we need our whips man" Wooski shook his head

Finally arriving we hopped out the car running to where Trey and her parents were located

Getting closer we spotted her laying on the ground by their tombstones

"Nahla" I called out getting closer but got no answer "Nahla bro" I bend down and started shaking her "Wake up bro" I yelled

"Dude she got a whole gat" Wooski said grabbing the gun from her sweater "And Pill bottles" He showed me them

I Checked to see if she had a pulse and luckily she did

"Nahla" Wooski whispered hitting her face a couple times "She opening her eyes" he said

"Wooski? Blast?" She said sitting up "how did y'all find me"She said

"Polo told us you might be here when we didn't find you back at yo crib. Fuck you doing here? And with a Glock and Pills?" I snapped unintentionally

"This ain't the place to be doing this Bro. Come on I just ordered us an uber back to her crib. We can talk there" Wooski said standing up helping her up

I simply stayed quiet walking behind them.

All I knew was that God was really with us tonight cause this could've ended way worse

Nahla Reese

I stared out the window as the uber made its way to my side of town. Blast has told me that Tez was worried and on his way back.

And that honestly scared me. I knew he was gonna be filled with hurt and anger especially Mir. I knew that this was only going to bring flashbacks of that night 2 going on 3 years ago.

Pulling up to my house I quickly hopped out the uber running in.

I wanted to try and avoid all of this conflict until I got my head straight.

I ran through the door of my apartment but stopped in my tracks when I saw Tez and Dre standing there looking furious

Before I could say anything or even plead my case Tez grabbed me hugging me tight basically squeezing the life out of me.

He let go and then Dre grabbed me hugging me. His hug wasn't as tight but it was enough to let me know I had him scared too.

"Aye can ya'll give us a moment?" Tez asked Blast and Wooski

"Yeah we'll be in her room" They said walking to my room closing the door

"Sit down" Tez sternly said

I looked at him before taking a seat.

"Fuck was you thinking Nahla? Huh? You think killing yourself is the answer to this shit?" Tez went off

"Stupid ass shit you be doing man" Dre added

"Where you even get the gun?" Tez asked looking at me.

He knew where I got it from but I'm sure he wanted to hear me say it.

"From your save"

"We told you the fucking code for emergencies Nahla. Not for this stupid ass shit. You get mad when we treat yo ass like a little ass kid but here you go acting like one. Acting like we gotta keep you under surveillance and shit" Dre said looking at me

"Why you do it? And don't say no shit like you don't know"

"I'm tired of this shit. I'm tired of feeling alone and like nobody cares. I'm tired of feeling like a burden on everyone. I want to end this pain I feel in my heart and I don't know how" I cried "You guys think that all this shit is something to draw attention or me just being stupid but ya'll don't even bother to sit here and talk to me about it. All you care about is being done with me so ya'll can go on with whatever ya'll doing"

"You know that ain't true lady bug" Tez said softening up

"It's not? When I first tried to overdose you yelled at me told me to stop being stupid and that you loved me then left. Never bothered to ask me why I did it" I cried louder

I was tired of fighting these demons that never seemed to go away. Demons that no matter how hard I fought they found a way to get into my head.

I looked at them and they just looked at each other then at me. I watched as Tez walked around the living room before taking a seat on the coffee table in front of me followed by Dre

"Go ahead. Tell us why. The whole reason. We'll shut up and listen"

"Ya'll don't know how hard it is for me. Every night I go to sleep and see mom and dad's lifeless bodies in front of me. I relive the same exact moment over and over again asking why. Asking why they had to leave me and why I lived. I blame myself every moment of the day for that accident. Maybe if I wouldn't have asked for ice cream they would've still been here. Maybe if I would've just been happy with the food we had already gotten I would still have my parents with me. Every night I hear their screams as the car drove off the road. I ask why it wasn't me who died instead. Then when I finally fight that off I see Trey. I see Trey laying in a pool of his blood. And again if I wouldn't have been out I could've done something. Maybe I could've jumped in front of the bullets. All this guilt in my heart is eating me alive. Why did I have to be there when all 3 of them died? That shit fucked me up bad" I cried this time falling back on the couch "I just want this pain to stop. I want these dreams to Stop. I'm tired of fighting"

Nobody seems to understand that seeing that shit at a young age it fucks you up. you always see this stuff happening around you but shit don't matter until it hits home. Seeing your parents and siblings laying there dead in front of you is a different type of pain than seeing a friend get killed.

Everyone expects me to be okay and be this strong ass female but how can I do that when I have so much bottled up. When now I felt like I was completely alone. When Mir started hitting the block I was once again alone. I saw him go through all this bs that I didn't even bother to bring up my shit to him. Then everyone in my household started leaving more and more that I ended up being left completely alone with my demons. It's worst now because at least before I knew I could call Mir and he'll come running if I couldn't handle it but now he's locked up so I'm really alone. It also doesn't help that Trey's Birthday was in a few days

"Don't cry Nahla" Tez pulled me to him hugging me. "I guess we fucked up but you should've came to me baby girl. If you would've told me all this shit was bothering you I promise I would've dropped everything. I don't want shit to get to the point where you feel like you need to hurt yourself" He said and all I did was hug him tighter.

"Nahla" I heard Dre said trying to reach me but I moved away

I pulled away from Tez looking Dre's way

"That's why you hate me ain't it. You blame me for dad dying. You think it was all my fault and you wish it was me who died instead. Now I know why you got this strong hatred towards me. I mean before you ain't like me too much but you were still nicer. Still cared about me some what but after all that shit happened you completely changed towards me" I told him finally understanding why he hated me so much

"Nahla it ain't"

"You know what I need to sleep this off" I cut him walking out

Thoughts?
