"What's wrong wit' you?" Dolla asked making me shake my head.

"None."

"You gotta attitude, even though you don't talk, I can still tell." He told me making me shrug.

"Nothing wrong with me." I assured him, even though I did have an attitude.

"You lyin' but imma leave you alone." He said making me nod.

I sat back in my seat and went to unlock my phone seeing me and Santana on my home screen making me roll my eyes.

"Kee, you talked to SJ?" Man Man asked making me scrunch my face up and shake my head.

"No."

"That's what's wrong. Well you gone be okay because he finna come ova' here." Dolla said making me shrug.

"Ion care." I mumbled as they all frowned.

"Ya'll been attached to eachother for 2 months now. So this is confusing." Brandon said making me roll my eyes.

"I haven't talked to him in 3 days."

"Ohhhh, he ain't call you? SJ was locked up." Dolla said making me frown.

"Why?" I asked as Santana and Qua walked into the livingroom.

"Why what?" Santana asked looking at us.

"Why was you locked up?" I asked squinting my eyes at him as he smacked his lips.

"I specifically told these niggas I was gone tell you when I got out. It was for some trespassin' shit." He told me making me just look at him before I rolled my eyes and turned my attention onto my phone.

He smacked his lips, before coming towards me and bending down wrapping his arms around me, "Get off me." I mumbled pushing him.

"Zo, I'm ready to go home." I told her as he sighed and looked at me.

"Nah Zo imma take her." He said making me roll my eyes.

"I'm not goin' no where wit' you."

"Guess you not goin' home." He shrugged making me leave out of the living room going upstairs.

I tried to close the door but he pushed it open before closing it behind him, "Come on talk to me Nava." He said making me sigh.

"Why you ain't jus' call me and tell me?"

"Because they only let me get one call, and that was the call I made to tell Qua to come get me." He shrugged making me cross my arms and eye him.

"So nobody talked to you in some days?" I asked making him nod.

"Qua and them knew what happened because muhfuckas told them how they locked everybody onna corner up that day. So rhey wasn't really worried." He explained as I just looked at him.

"I cried myself to sleep last night because I thought you was dead or some. Then I was mad at Dolla and them because I thought they ain't care about you bein' dead or some." I told him as he smacked his lips and smirked before he wrapped his arms around me and kissed my forehead.

"I ain't dyin' no time soon baby. You stuck wit' me forever." He told me making me smirk a little.

"I missed you. This the longest we ever been apart, without talkin' onna phone." I said wrapping my arms around his torso and looking up at him.

He leaned down and pecked my lips a couple time before smiling, "I missed yo' ass too."

My phone started ringing on the bed and I let him go before grabbing it.

"Hello?"

"Where you at?" My mama asked making me frown.

"Zo house." I told her making her sigh hard.

"Tell me the truth where are you?"

"Ma I'm at Zo house." I told her again.

"Well tell Zo to bring you home now. Actually I want both of ya'll here within the next 20 minutes." She said before hanging up making me scrunch my face up.

"I gotta go." I told Santana as he looked at me.

"What happened?" He asked making me shrug.

"Ion even know. My Mama jus' called me talm bout where I'm at. Then she like she want me and Zo at my house now." I explained as he just nodded.

"Aight shorty. Imma call yo' ass tonight you better answer." He told me making me smile and nod, before he came over to me and grabbed my chin before kissing me.

I immediately started smiling making him laugh as we walked out of the room, going downstairs.

"Well I see they back to normal." Man Man said making me just laugh before I turned to Zo.

"Umm, my Mama said she want me and you at my house. Like now." I told her making her frown.

"What happened?" She asked standing up as I just shrugged.

"Ion know."

"Aight well come on. Ya'll make sure ya'll lock my shit up when ya'll leave. And clean up anythint ya'll mess up." She told them before grabbing her keys and we left out of the door.

The drive to my house seemed quicker than normal, we road in silence not knowing what my Mama could want.

Once we got there, Zo turned the car off and turned to me. "Do yo' Mama nem know about Tana?".

"I mean she know it's somebody. But she don't know how serious it is. Or who it is."

"Man I guess we gotta get this shit over wit' then." She shrugged as we got out of the car and walked towards the front door.

I unlocked it with my key before we walked inside, and I seen my Mama coming down the stairs.

"Come on." She said walking into the family room as we just followed.

My Daddy, my Auntie Iceland, and my Uncle Quin, was sitting in there on one couch. Me and Zo sat on the other couch still confused as to what was going on.

"Ya'll already know what we finna talk about." My Auntie said making us look at eachother confused.

"We forreal don't." Zo told her making her nod.

"We gone start with how you been havin' all these different niggas up in the house I pay for." Uncle Quin said eyeing us as she frowned.

"I have my friends and boyfriend in there, but ain't no random people been up in there." She told them as her mama just shook her head.

"You ain't gotta lie. The neighbors already told us, how boys be in and out all day long." Iceland said as Zo frowned.

"I'm tellin' yall the only people that be there is my friends." She told them again.

"What's they names?" Iceland asked crossing her arms and staring at Zo as if she was lying.

"Nasir, Quameek, Emmanuel, Santana, and Brandon." Zo said making Quin smack his lips.

"Exactly some niggas."

"My friends." Zo emphasized while scrunching her face up.

"So on to you, I hear you runnin' around behind some lil drug dealin' gang bangin' ass lil boy. He got you on the block and shit." My Mama said looking at me while I frowned.

"I'm not runnin' up behind nobody." I told them as my Daddy just eyed me.

"I been hearing about that lil SJ boy. He ain't none good, so you not about to be around him no more. And since you think you can go to Zo house and see him, you can't go over there anymore." My Mama said making me smack my lips.

"Ya'll don't even know him to be saying all this." I frowned getting annoyed.

"Ion know why you tryna' argue about it. You a fuckin' kid so you gone do what we say. We also know about you leaving school early and stuff. You just been out here like you grown or some. You is a little ass girl." My Daddy snapped making me just look at him blankly.

"Like not even to be disrespectful or none, but I'm not finna break up wit' Santana because ya'll feel like he this and that." I said trying to be as respectful as possible.

"Since you feel like that, gimme yo' phone. I want that Ipad, that laptop allat. I know the nigga don't go to school, so you won't be seeing him." My Daddy said as I shrugged knowing I would still get in contact with him.

I put the phone on the coffee table before I sat back in my seat.

"Like forreal, I'm finna be grown. Ain't no takin' my phone none of that." Zo shrugged making her daddy nod.

"I like that energy, since you feel like that pay yo' own bills grown ass. Let's see if you gone keep that house then." Quin told her making her shrug.

"I'm finna go, Kee imma see you later g. And jus' know I gotchu' g." She said hugging me before standing up leaving.

"I jus' wanna go to sleep." I shrugged before standing up going up the stairs.

-

"Brandon forreal lemme see yo' phone." I told him as he just looked at me.

"Where yours at?" He asked making me sigh.

"Dont worry about that jus' lemme see yours." I said as he just smacked his lips and handed it to me.

I went to his contacts and clicked Santana contact before I put the phone to my ear.

"What the fuck do you want?" He asked making me chuckle.

"Tana, come get me." I said before I heard silence on his end.

"Aight here I come Pooh, where yo' phone?"

"I'll tell you when I see you." I said rolling my eyes thinking about my Mama and Daddy.

"Aight." He said before we said bye and hung up.

"Hm." I said handing Brandon back his phone before I gathered my shit up.

"He finna come get you?" He asked making me nod.

"Yeah and you not comin' so don't ask." I said knowing he always tryna come with us.

"Ya'll must be finna fuck." He chuckled making me mug him not saying nothing back.

"He said he down the street." He told me making me nod.

"Ms. Towns can I use the bathroom?" I asked making her nod before I left out.

I went to my locker putting my stuff in my bookbag before I left out of the side exit.

I made my way to his car and got inside as I smiled looking at him.

"Lil happy ass." He chuckled making me wave him off.

"So lemme tell you about yesterday. So my Mama and Daddy took my phone and stuff because they said I can't be with you because you be inna streets and shit. But ion care about what they gotta say. And I can't go to Zo house no more." I told him making him nod before looking over at me.

"Don't go against yo' peoples ova' me."

"They don't know you like I do. So whatever they saying don't matter because I wanna be wit' you." I told him making him smirk.

"So what you tryna do?" He asked making me shrug.

"Ion know whatever, I gotta be home at like 3." I told him making him nod.

"Aight so we finna go get you a phone. Then we can get some to eat."

"You ain't gotta buy me a phone." I frowned knowing I had money.

"Keep yo' money Pooh I got you." He assured me making me nod.

"Jus' because yo' peoples won't let you come to Zo house don't mean you finna' start missin' schoo' to be wit' me." He told me making me frown.

"So when imma see you?" I asked him making him shrug. "I can sneak you in. My room onna different floor, and they don't even be checkin' on me." I suggested making him chuckle.

"We will figure it out Pooh." He said making me nod.

-

"Hm." I said feeding Santana a piece of crab.

"That shit good. Man, how you doin' that shit?" He asked as he tried to crack his crabs.

I laughed watching him before I grabbed the crab leg from him.

I showed him how to do it before I continued to eat mines.

"How old are you guys?" Some old lady asked making us look at her.

"She 15, I'm 16." Santana told her making her smile.

"Young love, just beautiful." She said smiling before walkint away.

"You think we in love Pooh?" He asked making me shrug.

"We in some, I done told my mama and them that I ain't breakin' up wit' you." I told him making him nod. "We too young for all that right now though. We jus' enjoyin' eachother."

"Yeah we got the rest of our lives to talk about this. Ain't like we eva' gone break up." He shrugged making me chuckle.

His phone started ringing and he took the plastic glove off before answering it.

"Fuck you want?" He asked making me shake my head.

"Where you at pussy?" Qua asked making Santana smack his lips.

"Mindin' my business bitch, fuck you want?" Santana asked again.

"Man that nigga Deuce lookin' for you shorty. I think he know some." Qua said making Santana smack his lips.

"Well he gotta find me. He know I ain't no bitch, imma see him whenever I see him." Santana shrugged as Qua sighed.

"Man slide ova' here later."

"Aight boa." Santana said before hanging up the phone.

"Who is Deuce and why he lookin' for you?" I asked making him wave it off.

"He ain't nobody important. I did some business wit' him and he ain't like how it turned out." He shrugged not fully explaining it making me just look at him.

"What you robbed him or some?"

He sighed before looking at me knowing I wanted the fully answer, "Me and the guys ran up in his shit a couple times. So now I guess he became smart, so he lookin' for me."

"You not scared? What if he kill you Santana?" I frowned almost crying just thinking about him dying.

"If he kill me he kill me, just know I'm not goin' out like no bitch." He told me making me sigh.

"Be safe, please. Like I can't imagine life without you forreal." I shook my head making him nod.

"Girl you ain't gotta imagine life without me because I ain't goin' no where Pooh." He assured me before smirking at me before winking.

I just smiled back because I really like this boy.

-

"Who dropped you off?" My Mama asked making me look up.

"Zo, she said hey and that she sorry for not setting a good example." I lied making her nod.

"I would like it better if it came out of her mouth. But I still accept it." She told me before I walked past her going to the back where my room was.

I sat my bookbag on the ground before I pulled out my new phone and unlocked it texting Zo.
