MALAYAH~
"Baby calm down" Bri was trying to calm Josiah down
After fighting Nahmir, Josiah was still heated even though he won the fight

"Aye man come here" Ryan said
Josiah walked over to us "wassup"

"Look you gotta calm down, we still on these people property, you a young black man in college all the police need to see is you out here mad and fighting"

Josiah never really had a father figure since him and London's dad left their mom when they were little. So watching him actually listen to Ryan and talk was a good thing to me.

I walked over to London who was now just staring off into space probably taking everything in "Hey boo me and Ryan are going to the bar, pleaseeee come I know you need a drink right now"

"I don't know layah I'm just overwhelmed right now I mean.. You wanna go drink" she asked phor
"Shiddd.. I'll never turn drinking down I'm with it"

I smiled at her "sooo.."

"Fine I'll go"

"Y'all said something about drinking?" Josiah came up being nosey.

"Boy you not grown enough to be drinking with us knock it off" I laughed

"Man whatever I'm 21 now so wassup"

"What about your little girlfriend" London said

"She will be okay, matter of fact she can come with us we can call a babysitter right now"

"I'll watch him" Mama bee said

"Nah ma you sure? You just in town you should relax"

"Boy shut up I practically raised all of y'all crazy asses I won't relax until I'm in heaven" she walked up to bri getting jr from her.

"Just make sure you guy are back before 1pm tomorrow I have a nail appointment" she was such a diva

"Thanks soo much Ms.Bee" Bri said
"Please call me Mama.. now y'all go on I got the bag I'll be at the house"

2 Hours later

"I love you guys soooooooooo*Burp* muchhh"

"London girl sit down" I laughed her ass was tossing them shots back like they were water. What is she stressing about that I don't know about.

"Wowww but yall thought I wouldn't be able to handle my liquor" Josiah laughed

"Ohhh shut up"

"Yoo you ready to go handle that?" Phor whispered to Ryan

Now I know I was drunk but i sobered up really quick because where he thought he was about to go.

"Yeah give me one minute"He responded. By this time I was already staring him down.

"Go where?" he had me fucked up

"I got business to handle"

"elaborate" he looked at phor"I'll meet you outside man"

"Noo he not phor, dont let him send you off" I was not about to let him go. Everynight since he got to Houston he was out handling business.

"Ima see you in the morning" he kissed my forehead

"So I guess every night its business huh? Did you even come down for me? Because it sure doesn't feel like it"

"Look you tripping right now I said I'll see you in the morning I promise I'll make it up to you"

"Fine whatever Bye" I walked off.

I sat back down at the bar obviously irritated

"whats wrong babes, do we have to fight someone" London ass was crazy I couldn't do anything but laugh

"Yeah Im good its Ryan ass every night its business whatever the fuck that means"

"Maybe he is trying to open a tattoo shop out here"

"At night london?" she's delusional

"Damnn you right well lets get out of here and go home we can finish drinking and have a girls night" her ass was always trying to make me feel better

"lets go"

"We will see yall later, finna go make baby number 2"Josiah and Bri left out before us

"Im so glad I met you Layah" London ass was hitting the emotional stage of her drunkness.

"You thought I wasn't gone catch up with you"
*pop* *pop* *pop*
You could hear the tires from the car screeching as they drove off

Bri screams and cries were heard
"Oh my god"

LONDON~
Josiah. Is all I could think about
"What happened?!!"  I ran over to where bri was kneeled down. Seeing Josiah hold his leg in pain

"I'm good sis, phor got hit"
My eyes immediately started watering as I seen Ryan on the phone with the ambulance and phor on the floor breathing hard

I ran over to his body "oh my god, phor, baby please"
I sat on the ground putting his head in my lap and examining his body I seen he was hit once in the leg and Lower right half of his stomach

"Please just breath, I can't lose you" Just in the time the ambulances pulled in. I couldn't control the tears at this point.

Josiah was sent in the first ambulance while they were putting phor in the second ambulance i asked the emt driver "I'm coming with him"

"No, London go home with Malayah I'm going with him" Ryan said

"Are you stupid I'm not leaving him"
"Go home London it's too much shit going on" he looked at Malayah who hasn't said anything. I'm guessing she was in shock.
"I'll call you and tell you what happens" he kissed Layah and got in the ambulance.

As the ambulance pulled off I said a prayer in my head for the safety of my brother and man.

Me,Layah and Bri were left standing there. Bri was still crying.

Layah finally spoke up "Let's go in the house so we can atleast be safe" 

Once we were all in the car it was complete silence.

Till bri spoke up "I think it was Nahmir y'all"

"Bri don't play how do you know for sure?" I turned around to ask

"When the ambulance and police came they asked Josiah did he see who did it. Josiah doesn't know what car Nahmir has. But I sure do and I was not opening my mouth to tell the police shit"

I went on Nahmirs Instagram to see if he posted a new car recently but his ass blocked me. "Go on his page Bri and see if he posted the car"

"He blocked me after I took Jr. and moved away" I sighed

"Here use my account" Layah gave me her phone as she continued to drive

And like that this dumbass didn't have her blocked and he had a picture of the car I immediately screenshot it and sent it to myself. I know someone that'll get the job done.

BRI~

I couldn't believe this shit. Really I could've got hit, what if jr. what with me. So many things could've happened. I'm just so confused and mad. See what most people don't know is I got some family down here that will make him disappear. This was that time to use the opportunity. I pull my phone out and tapped the contact

"Hey bro.. we have a problem"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey oh my god are you okay" I kissed Josiah examining his leg.

"Yeah I'm good, actually I'm blessed, I just have therapy but I'll be fine.. where is jr?"

"He is with your mom she said she would watch him
For now and would stop by the hospital later tonight"

He nodded and I sat down

"Bae.." I started the sentence but couldn't finish it

"Bri... What is it!?"

" It was Nahmir" I finally got it out
"I thought you didn't know?!" I'm not understanding why he was mad

"I didn't tell the police because I'm not a snitch I will get it handled"

"Nah I'll handle it don't even worry."

I raised a eyebrow "what do you mean"

"I mean ima handle it. It's nothing else to say about it let it go Briana"

I didn't say anything else. Especially since I didn't want to discuss it in a public place.

"I have to tell you something but just know I'm waiting on the right time" I smiled changing the subject

"Come on you know I hate surprises"

I scooted a chair over close to his bed "Just know I'm here for you baby I got you on whatever you want or need "

"I need you to close the door, shit one of my legs still good"

"You are soo nasty"

RYAN~

The whole time I been at the hospital I was lashing out. I know who did it and who set it up. None of this shit would've happened if we would've left on time. I was supposed to been kill Nahmir. Aside from me running my tattoo business I run a family business as well if you know what I mean. See what Malayah don't know is every night I have been out I have been setting shit up for Her and London to be safe.

I was put into the game when my father died. But he always mention to follow my dream while running the game. I never mixed my businesses none of my people at the tattoo shop and none of my hit man ever crossed eachother. My father was a man from Dallas so I was real familiar with the south. I would spend my summers with him and the rest of the year with my mom in Chicago. I was raised by killers literally. Once my dad felt I was becoming of age he taught me all the rules I've even helped him kill a few people back then but once he died I had to fully become a new man. My uncle reminded me everyday how much I act just like my father. One thing I've been able to keep is a low profile. I made sure I didn't mention none of this to Malayah just for the fact I don't know how she will feel about it or I just had to let her get to know me more but we've been around each other long enough. I just been holding out in telling her. Nahmir time coming real soon though, I just gotta make sure Phor is straight so far he been stable just gotta let him rest and I'll be here the first thing in the morning. Phor was my right hand man and cousin. When I was brought into the game he was right there with me, but he is talented to manage the game and still take off with his tattooing career. He never slipped up and was always about his money.

I left out the hospital and started on my way back to Malayah house I know she gone kill me man. I just gotta decide to tell her everything tonight. Approaching her apartment I sat in my car for a while thinking of what I have to say to her. After about 20 minutes I grabbed my gun from under the seat tucking it in the waist of my pants and made my way upstairs. I always went everywhere protected.

The house was quiet I still had Malayahs key so I tried my best to quietly open the front door in hope that everybody was sleep. As soon as I close it London came out loud as hell "Where is he, are they okay ??"

"Yeah he is stable just had to rest and Josiah is cool Bri stayed the night with him" I said not too loud I ain't wanna wake Malayah up

Too late.

"Ohhh thank god they are okay" London put a hand over her heart. She was dramatic but I don't blame her.

"We need to talk" Malayah stood in the door frame looking pissed

I followed her back into her room "Look it's a lot I gotta say Just know I'm not cheating on you or no shit like that"  I pleaded.

"I just can't have someone running in and out of
My life. I trust you and you trust me so why couldn't you just let me know your real reason of coming down here I just can't be stressed right now,graduation is coming up and I.." she started crying. I was confused

"And I'm pregnant Ryan. I don't even know if you'll be here if we had a baby that's why I chose the Choice to schedule an abortion"

"That's not happening."
