A/N: Boyd in MM & Before yall read this, I just want to say something that I have prolly said before but more and more comments like this keep popping up and I find myself getting so annoyed that I delete them. Please dont take this badly or anything but listen... i dont give af if you think somebody I used as a character reference is ugly. Like, I really dont care. So stop the "He so ugly." "She not even cute." "Eww wtf why you chose him" "can you change who plays her" "can you change who plays him" comments. That shit is so annoying. And then when I dont give people a face, the same people be wanting them to have a face. NORMAL PEOPLE LOOK DIFFERENT. NORMAL PEOPLE HAVE FLAWS. NOT EVERYBODY LOOKS LIKE IG MODELS AND CELEBRITIES. Like if you wanna complain about what I envision for MY BOOK then dont even say shit at all. Just use your brain and think of somebody else as the character. Its that easy bruh. If you triggered by this i'm sorry but its really been annoying me and when I get annoyed, I dont even be wanting to write. Sorry. That is all. Thank you.

"You liar!" I yelled at him. Boyd's eyes widened as if he was in shock.

"What the fuck you talkin' 'bout?" he asked. I had called him over and we were currently sitting in his car.

"Be honest with me or I will be very angry. Do you or do you not work for Sonnie?"

He looked reluctant but nodded his head.

"Why wouldn't you tell me that? You didnt think it was important for me to know?"

"I mean, thats not some shit I just go around tellin' people" he shrugged. "Besides, if I told you that shit, would you have even talked to me?"

I frowned. "Of course not. I'm debating whether or not I want to cut you off now" I folded my arms.

"Look, you ain't gotta do all that. I promise that you ain't never gotta worry about the shit I do gettin' to you" he said looking at me.

I turned my head. "I don't know. I don't feel like I can trust you now. Still doesn't seem like you're telling me everything" I said truthfully. "When I asked you why you didn't want me around Cato... whats the real reason?"

"Me and him don't really get along like that. Ion trust him, he don't trust me."

"Thats it?" I asked.

He nodded but he wasn't looking at me. He was lying.

"You're still lying to me" I grabbed the handle to get out but he grabbed my arm.

"Listen, it's a lot of shit that go into this story. I promise i'll let you know but for now just believe me when I tell you, I'm ain't in any way trynna hurt you, nor am I on the bad side of it all" he said.

"You sure about that?" I raised a brow at him.

"Yes, i'm sure. Just trust me, aight?" he looked me in the eyes. I looked away from him straight ahead.

"If you're lying to me, I swear on everything that I will never talk to you again. I'm going to go inside. Don't call or text me. I'm mad at you" I pulled my hand out if his and opened the door to get out.

When I got back in the house, my mom was on the couch drinking tea and looking at a magazine. I was wondering how she had gotten home and in the house without me seeing her.

"Come here Athena" she stated before I could even get to my room.

I wanted to kick the wall and scream. Instead I just made my way over to her. "Ma'am?"

"Explain your grades" she handed me my report card.

I just sighed. "I can't. I've just been distracted."

"Distracted by what? Maybe you don't need a boyfriend. I tried to let you date. You're 18 and all but if you're going to let it mess up what you have going for yourself, it has to end."

I scoffed. "I wish everyone would stop worrying so much about me having a boyfriend. My sister is missing. Thats a distraction straight up. She could be laying in a ditch somewhere and nobody cares but me!"

"You will not go there with me today Athena. I will hurt your lil' feelings" she warned.

"I'm just saying."

"Well stop saying."

I smacked my forehead out of frustration. I wanted so badly to give her a piece of my mind but she was my mother and she'd probably take my life if I was disrespectful.

"What your sister did and whatever she's doing now is all on her. Stop inserting yourself into her issues. She's fine. She texted me and told me she decided to move in with the baby daddy" she took a sip of her tea.

"Thats a horrible thing!" I rubbed my temples.

"Why is that? Better than her sitting around my house. I'm not raising a baby for her. That's something she needs to do on her own."

"He's crazy. For all we know he could be abusing her or something. You know Amaru too. She's dumb and naive. The streets will eat her alive. We need to get her home" I argued.

"Athena. She's fine. If she wasn't, she would have said something" she said to me.

I felt like crying. She really wasn't concerned at all. "Okay. Whatever. I'm going to do homework. Don't worry. My grades will be fixed."

"Thank you. Thats all I asked for."

Cato Willis

"How are my babies?" my mama asked me. She had bags under her eyes and her skin was pale. Her hair was in a ponytail and she wore a plain white tee and some sweatpants. She looked less dead than usual though, I'd give her that. Maybe this shit was really helpin' her. Or maybe it was just helpin' her for now and as soon as she got out she was gon' be just as fucked up.

"They good" I mumbled.  She pulled out a cigarette to smoke.

"Why you keep puttin' that shit in yo lungs ma? Why they even let ya'll smoke here?" I asked her. How you in a rehab center smokin' the fuck out of some newports?

"Ion know. Ion care either. Better than drugs right?" she chuckled.

I sighed and ran my hand down my face.  Sometimes I really hated this lady. Her bein' missin' really fucked up my life.  But at the same time, the good times were good so I loved her. "How long you got left in here?"

"Two months."

"Where you gon' stay when you leave?"

"I was hoping with you. You know your grandma ain't about to let me stay there. Her lil' friends will have a fit."

"You know she prolly still not gon' let'chu around TJ and them" I reminded her. "Shit, she barely let my ass over there."

"Yeah but I can still visit sometimes. That's all I care about" she shrugged.

I just nodded. "I'm 'bout to go. l'ma come see you later doe. I promise." We both stood up and I gave her a hug.

"Okay baby. I love you so much" she grabbed my face and kissed my forehead.

I chuckled and watched her go back in the buildin' before I headed out. My phone was buzzin' like crazy while I was talkin' to her so I knew I had missed some shit.

Sage had called me like ten times so I called him back. He answered right away. "Cato?"

"Yeah bruh, wassup?" I asked as I got into my car.  "You been blowin' my shit up. What happened?"

"Found out who robbed ya'll."

"That was quick as fuck."

"You'll never believe who it was. That shit threw me the fuck off" he said to me.

I frowned. "Who was it?"

"BJ and his lil' squad of niggas."

"Oh shit" I found myself laughin' for some reason. Prolly cause everybody that knew me, already knew I was always lookin' for a reason to fuck that nigga up.

"Do what'chu want with that information bruh but you ain't hear shit from me" Sage said to me.

"Aight bruh. Thank you" I said to him and he hung up.

I was 'bout to find BJ and cut shit up.
