Anthony( Ghost)




           My little brother Antwon and I was on the couch, watching some show on tv. Honestly he was watching it, I was barely paying attention since I was in my phone texting the homies. Had to make sure shit was taking care of at my traps.

I wanted to chill with my moms and lil brother for a few days. I needed to stay away for a little bit after the hospital shit with Monica. Shit was getting hectic and I need space and time to think about what imma do about these weird ass niggas. If it ain't one thing it's another.

My moms finding out I got shot was enough for her to be upset and not talk to me right now. After she gave me the 'I told you so speech' of course. So she was upstairs in her room, probably still on the phone with my aunt.

Antwon told me she told our aunt about Nae and how much she liked her. I wasn't surprised since she tells my aunt everything. And since she disliked all of the other girls I dealt with she was too fond of Nae. How was Ranae doing was all she said to me today.

I just told her she what I was hoping honestly. That she's good since I haven't spoken to her since I took her back to her folks. After what I said to her I doubt she wanted to talk to me right now. Shit sucks cause her birthday in a few days. Timing was terrible.

The look on her face made me instantly regret saying that shit to her. It's like I was leading her on when that's not the case. She's mean a lot to me, she's special. Shes an escape from what I deal with. And the fact that my mama like her is a plus.

But seeing her at my trap, face covered in tears, fucked me up. I don't know what possessed her to come to my spot late. I definitely didn't expect her to do pop ups, especially since we ain't together yet.

Luckily, It was my people and not these niggas after her pops and me. Regardless if he likes me or not, I try to keep her safe and out of harms way as well. So my irritation with her was shown since I care about her ass too much.

It's crazy how she know she doesn't want or need to be around all this shit, especially not now. But she puts herself in it by not listening. She worried about the wrong shit instead of school. What she did was stupid.

I went to my social media which is just Instagram and Snapchat. I barely use the shits.

     "Bro, you tryna play to thirty?" Antwon asked, bringing me out my thoughts. He stood up, grabbing my basketball from out the closet.

      "Nah." I say, going back into my phone.

I hear him smack his teeth. "Bruh, why?"

      "Cause you just gone cry to ma when you lose."

      "I never cried to mama." He mugged me and I looked at him, staled faced. He let out a laugh, tossing the ball lightly in the air, catching it. "Bruh, that was once and I was seven. I'm ready now."

I haven't played since the community park with Kev and them.
        "To 15." I say, putting my phone on the charger next to me. "Don't need you crying and I gotta take care of some after."

      "Nobody gone be crying." He mugged me.

      "Yeah Ight." I stood up and went upstairs to my room to grab my basketball shoes. After putting them on, I went downstairs and to the backyard.

He was practicing lay ups until he noticed me and tossed the ball to me. I caught it, dribbling it effortlessly. Not gone lie and say this don't feel good to do just like it did at the community park.

He stood waiting and I bounced the ball to him. "Check."

He grabbed it, dribbling a bit, moving towards the basket. I was lightly guarding him, and he crossed me, dashing to the basket, landing a lay up.

    "That's 2." He chuckled.

We switched sides and he threw the ball to me saying check. I begin dribbling, watching him guard me. He left his right side open so I tried passing him and he smacked the ball out my hand, stealing it. He dribbled to the basket, scoring another lay up.

    "That's 4." He said, tossing me the ball. I caught it, bouncing it back to him, saying check. Catching me off guard, he dribbled a bit then dashing past me and dunked the ball in. "And now 6. You must be rusty bro." He chuckled and I smacked my lips.

    "Maybe. Do it again." I egged him on. I was going easy on him but the gloating ends now.

    "I will. You still got zero points. Check." He said, passing me the ball.

Catching it, I dribbled slowly while watching him watch my movement. I knew he was wondering which way imma go to steal again so I got some for em.

I faked going left then went right, making him almost trip but he caught himself. I shot from the three point line, earning a swish from the net.

       "3. Check." I say bouncing the ball back to him.

       "Got lucky." He laughed and he begin dribbling again.

I begin lightly guarding him again and reached, smacking the ball as he tried for another lay up.

       "Shittin me." I say laughed.

"Bruh." He said as we went and checked the ball to me.

Lightly dribbling, I faked a movement to the right then went left, making him slip. Laughing as I did a lay up, earning to points. "Ankles broke."

    "Shut up. I'm still ahead." He say as I checked him the ball.

   "By one point." He said.

We kept at it and I was already six points ahead now.  I could tell he was getting frustrated but kept it together. But he's has gotten better since the last time we played. Hitting from the three point line for the last time put me at sixteen points.

   "That's game." I said.

   "You cheated." He said waving me off as I laughed.

   "Got bodied." I said as I sat on the chair, he sat on the the chair across from me.

    "Wait until I'm yo height." He warned.

     "Height ain't got nun to do wit it." I grinned.

"Yeah Ight. You and that fat—that girl mama likes still together?" He said chuckling, getting on his phone.

I glared at him. "What's funny?"

"Nothing." He says, his eyes on his phone.

"You sure?"

"Ya."

"Good. And that's rude to say."

"Not like it's a lie." He mumbled shrugged. "No hate doe."

"The correct way is saying big boned or thick or not even bringing her size up at all. Shapes and sizes don't define people. Lucky you my brother or I would've knock yo head into a tree."

"Ight whatever. She fine though, she got a sister?" He grinned, wiggling his brows and I sucked my teeth.

     "Yeah and she too young for ya ass so no." I say, taking a swig from my water bottle.

He smacked his lips. "How old is she?"

    "I don't know but I know she too young for you." I said and he smacked his lips. Lil nigga was about to be sixteen.

We sat in silence as I downed my water. My moms came down the stairs still on the phones. She saw me and frowned, continuing her conversation.

      "Yeah he here today." She said to whoever on the phone as he grabbed something out the fridge. "Yeah Im sure he is." She say going back upstairs. Guess she still upset wit me.

    "Do it still hurts?" Antwon ask me.

    "Yeah a lil bit." I say, stossing the empty bottle in the trash.

    "How did it happen?"

     "Wrong place at the wrong time." I simply say. "But you need to be comin' straight home after school." I stood up.

"I'll try." He said and I smacked my teeth.

"Nigga if you don't have no after school activities yo ass needa be home. Imma call mama and check."

"Okay. Dang." He mugged.

I walked back into the house and went upstairs to my room and picked out some clothes to change into. Walking into the bathroom, I turned on the shower and soon Hopped in.

After twenty minutes, I hopped out and got dressed. I went to check on my moms and she was laying down, watching her stories.

"I'm out ma. I'll check in later." I said, standing in her door way.

"Okay." She said not looking at me. I sighed, walking over to her and kissing her forehead. "Please be safe."

"Always mama."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pulling into the drive way of my traps, I turned my car off and hopped out, locking my door. Walking in, I see the bros on the couch smoking. They noticed me, dapping me up.

"You good bro?" E asked and I nodded.

"What y'all find?" I asked them.

"Nothing yet." Kev sighed. "You?"

I shook my head no. It was pissing me off all over again. The more I think about the shit the more it pisses me off. I should've know she was scheming.

But I'm not gone front like I knew she was when I didn't. I knew her ass get around but I didn't think she would be fucking around with Kane bitch ass. Even tho I should've, should've known when she was at the nigga Vito's club that night.

While sitting here smoking, a quick thought came into mind. "Imma hit up Monica."

They all looked at me crazy. "Nigga what? Why?" Kev said scrunching his face up.

"Better be to off her hoe ass." Mike said.

"Nah nigga, she knows where he stay at." I pointed out and E nodding in agreement.

"Hell yeah. She knocked up by his ass so she gotta know." He said.

I went to my block list and unblocked her, sending her a text. I had a my homie Clyde make sure she took my promise seriously and skipped town. She left the next day after all that shit happened. But now imma need her ass to come back.

We need to talk - 6:12pm

Not even five minutes went by and she responded back. Already sketchy but this time I'm alert.

718-461-7583:
About?     -6:15pm

Get back to the city and meet me at Grazes. - 6:18pm

She read it but didn't respond so I closed out the message thread. I know she's going to meet me so I'm not worried. I was just not happy to see this bitch again. I promised her I would put a bullet through her shit if I ever see her again. But she has information I need out of her so she's lucky right now.

   "Chilli said she's throwing Nae a birthday party at an Airbnb." E said to us, texting away on his phone.

    "Awe shit, I almost forgot. Tell her we'll be there." Kev said and E nodded.

"Terrible ass best friend." Mike said, shaking his head.

"Bitch shut up." Kev mugged. "I said almost."

I didn't even respond to that since no one knows me and her not on the same page right now. I remembered when she first told me months ago. Ever since then I've been looking for something to give her. But now I'm not so sure to even do that.

Seeing her in a dangerous position like that really fucked me up. The thought of her luck running out while being in that situation with someone else lowkey frightened me. She don't understand how lucky she was that it was me.

Knocking me out my thoughts, commotion from the back alerted us. We got up, running to the back and see our shooter bib beating the hell out of some nigga. He was stomping his face in then held him by the shirt, pistol whipping him.

Bib noticed us, looking back at us then went back to beating the nigga to a pulp. The dude was unconscious now but bib kept going.

"Aight that's enough." I said to him. He punched him one last time, releasing him and dude hit the floor with a hard thud.

"The fuck happened?" I asked him.

"This nigga crazy." Mike mumble shaking his head. It was no secret that bib was in a psychiatric ward for three years. Nigga had a couple screws loose but he was loyal.

Without a word, he grabbed the nigga phone from behind him on the table. He begin doing something on it and handing it to me. "Was in the back ally." Bib said.

I grabbed the phone and see messages and calls going out to Kane and Vito but mostly Kane. Anger rises in me as I read some of the shit this nigga was reporting back to Kane. They knew where four of my traps was and had niggas watching them, waiting for me. The nigga was telling him everything my people was doing.

My heart nearly dropped seeing a picture of Nae with Clyde and Bryan before and after they blind folded her getting into their truck.

They was watching outside my crib.

The blood begin to boil as I look over the picture again. I'm pretty sure how I was feeling was shown on my face.

"What you see bro?" Kev said and I handed him the phone and E and Mike looked at it too. "What the fuck." Kev said frowning.

"When was this?" E asked. "Why she was at yo crib?"

"Looking for me." I sighed. "Fuck!" I cursed, sitting down.

"Why she looking for you in the middle of the night?" Kev asked, mugging.

I really didn't feel like explaining from the beginning to end about that. "Shit was said and she popped up." I simply say.

All I cared about was making sure she safe now. I was gone have people, watching over her from now on. But first imma see why these niggas Clyde and Bryan didn't know they was being watched outside my shit.

"Rod find out about this." E said shaking his head.

"Shit gone start a even bigger war. They must know she his daughter and know you fucking with her." Mike said.

"Nah, not possible." I say. "They never see me with her. I make sure of it."

"Nigga he knows now, this shit confirmed it. Before we fought them niggas, he was hittin on her remember? Now he see her outside yo spot, it's not rocket science." Kev said.

It all started to make sense now from how he explained it. This would give Kane some to hurt me more with. He already fucked with my money from my traps, tried to off me, and now he probably plotting to get Nae? Nah, he dying as soon Monica get here and give me all the information on him.
