Malik Miller (Leek)

2 Months later

"Leek mom's at it again" My little sister Ayanna said as she came in my room

I let out a sigh before getting up from the bed.

"Where she at?" I asked her sliding a white beater on

"In the living room. Diamond's on her way to get me so we can't have her there" She told me

"I'll handle it. You just get ready for school cause you gonna be in, in school if you're late again" I told her as I walked out the room walking down the stairs

Reaching the bottom of the stairs I walked into the living room seeing my OG laid on the couch

I walked over to her seeing she had gotten her morning fix already

"Always doing this dumb shit man" I shook my head lifting her up heading back up the stairs

I walked towards her room

"Yanna open the door for me" I told her

She came over to me opening the door moving out the way so I could walk in. I laid her down on her bed grabbing a blanket covering her body making sure she wouldn't be cold.

I stared at her for a few seconds before making my way out closing the door

"Do you think she'll ever get help?" Yanna asked me

"Honestly I don't know. I hope she does but at this point I wouldn't think so" I told her

I knew it hurt her seeing my OG sprung out on drugs shit it hurt me too but she had it worst. I at least got to experience some good memories with my mom before she turned to drugs for a way out of her everyday problems

"I told Diamond to wait for me in the car so she won't come in and see all the stuff in the living room. I cleaned some stuff up but couldn't finish because she's here" She told me as she gave me a hug

"It's cool don't worry I got her" I assured her

She nodded heading back down the stairs so she could head to school. Today I didn't have school since it was school testing shit and Seniors ain't have to attend that shit

I walked back down stairs so I could clean the living room up from all the bs that she had laid out.

I walked into the kitchen grabbing a plastic bag then walked into the living room

"Look at this shit man fucking disgusting" I said to myself as I picked up all the empty bottles and needles off the coffee table and floor.

Around the time Ayanna turned 4 my OG turned to drugs. I was around 9 at the time. She had just lost her job and my oldest brother got locked up for life on murder charges while my second oldest lost his life in the streets so having all that happen back to back and not having a nigga to support her took a toll on her causing her to turn to drugs to help her deal with everything. Ever since it was up to me to make sure Ayanna was good and we had food on the table because my OG used every little bit of money she had to get high not even caring if we eat or not.

So having her sprung out on the couch was nothing new to us. Shit days she barely made it through the door before she'll knock out right there on the floor by the door because of how high she'll be.

Nobody knew that my mom was a druggie not even Polo and them and I was gonna try my best to keep it that way. The last thing I needed was for anybody to feel bad for me or look at me some type of way because of her actions.

Finishing up I went back to the room laying back down staring at the ceiling. I honestly wasn't in the mood for school so I wasn't even bother to show up

Grabbing my phone off my bed I unlocked it sending the guys a text letting them know I wasn't going.

I was about to lock my phone when I decided to give Nahla a call and see how she's doing

"Hey LeekLeek" She answered

"Wassup Lala how you feeling G?" I asked her

"I'm better just taking it day by day. How's everything with you?" She asked

"Good you know just tryna graduate" I told her

"So you heading out for school?"

"Nah I ain't feel like going" I said as I got up from the bed heading downstairs for some to drink

"How you expect to graduate but not going?" She laughed

"Aye one day won't hurt" I laughed too

"You right well I'm not going either so we in the same boat" She laughed again

"Why not?"

"Didn't feel up for it to be honest"

"Well shit since we both ain't going how about we get some breakfast? I'll pay" I told her grabbing a bottle of water

"Shit why not? We could go to Kanela Breakfast club a few blocks from my house"

"Sayless. I'll meet you at your crib in about an hour sound good?" I asked

"Yeah See you then" She said hanging up

Nahla Reese

"So you really ain't going to school?" Mir asked over the phone

I had put him on hold when Leek called me so of course his nosey ass was wondering who the hell I was talking to

"Polo I told you this since the moment we woke up that I wasn't going bro" I facepalmed myself

"Nahla you just started going back you can't be missing anymore G"He said making me roll my eyes

"I made up all my work Mir. I'm not failing any classes so I'm straight"

"Fuck you getting an attitude for?"

"What's wrong with you? You've been real life tryna argue with me since last night wassup?" I asked him because at this point his was gonna get his shit decked

"Man none I'll see you after school" He said hanging up

I shook my head sending him a text

You really mad cause I ain't going to school?

MirMir🤞🏼💛: Man do what you want bro

I laughed putting my phone on the charger so I could get ready. I had already showered and threw some sweats and a hoodie on so basically I was good to go I just needed to put my hair up. I wasn't feeling like doing my make up so I was just gonna go out bare face.

"What you still doing here?" Montez asked

"I'm not going to school. Instead Ima get breakfast with Leek" I told him

"Why you not tryna go to school?"

"I don't know I just woke up not really feeling it. Granny gave me the okay"

"You really about to start missing school again when you just went back?" He asked

"You talked to Mir didn't you?" I squinted my eyes looking at him

"Nah I haven't talk to him why?"

"Cause he just told me the same shit" I rolled my eyes

"He's right so" He shrugged

"Tez i made up all my work and my grades are all A's. I'm not failing any classes so I can miss today besides all my other absents were excused so I'm good"

"As long as your grades good then I'm cool.Here" He reached in his pocket pulling out a stack handing me a 20"

"Thank you" I gave him a hug

"Anytime now let get out of here. Love you kid be safe"He kissed my forehead walking out my room

"I love you too" I yelled after him as I got my stuff.

Leek texted me saying he was making his way over to me in ten.

I made sure I had everything as I walked out my room closing the door and heading down the hall. I grabbed my keys off the counter opening the door walking out.

Once I made sure the door was locked I headed down the hall making my way outside

"Well look who it is" I heard someone say

I turned seeing the same the dude from a few months ago

"You know you starting to look more and more like a stalker" I mugged him causing him to laugh

"Not a stalker at all beautiful. It's not my fault fate keeps crossing our paths" He smiled at me but I just rolled my eyes

"That's probably the most corniest shit I've ever heard"

"Ight I admit it was corny but I'm really trying to get to know you wassup?"

"If I give you my number will you leave me alone?"

"No promises" He took his phone out handing it to me

I shook my head laughing as I put my number in. Giving it back he quickly called it making sure I gave him the right one

"Don't trust me?" I asked

"Can you blame me? You've been dodging me since the first day I seen you" He said making us both laugh

"Nahla"

"Pretty name. I'm De'Mari" He put his hand out for me to shake

"Well I'll see you later" I told him as I walked away walking towards Leek who was turning the corner

Why ya'll think Polo was mad?
