"Tae Tae Tae!" I felt tink jumping up and down on the bed I was sleeping in. We made it to Atlanta last night but we still had to wait till Sunday to meet up with the people so we got a hotel.

"Hmm?" I groaned, rolling over on my stomach.

"Today is the day! I get my apartment! Ahhhhh." She screamed and jumped on me shaking my body. How did she have this much energy early this morning?

"You smoked?" My voice came out muffled since my face was in the pillow.

"You already know. But get up we have to be there by 1:30. Nic said that his brother already talked to the guy and that I just needed to look over everything and sign." She rambled, walking off into the bathroom. A few seconds later I heard the shower start to run so I took that moment to get up and look inside my suitcase.

We were staying in Atlanta for 3 maybe 4 days depending on how we feeling but no longer than 4 days. I checked the time and it read 11:23 AM. I planned on visiting my dad at around 4.

About an hour later I was ready but Tink still had to do her hair and put her bat wings on. I took that time to call the movers and check on them.

That shit weird as fuck how Nic got her an apartment, movers, and a job so fast. It just didn't right with me. It was something about him I didn't like and it ain't because he cool with Tink.

That nigga just seems weird and sneaky.

By the time I finished packing my things again, Tink was finished and we checked out. Her apartment was 30 minutes away and Atlanta traffic was no joke.

"Why you even moving here? It's already overpopulated." I put our bags in the trunk and watched as the mover niggas came out and got into the u-haul.

"Because I have a job and apartment here plus I want to see what the hype is about." She smirked and gave me a side hug before we got into the car.

"I guess" I mumbled. Atlanta is a crazy ass hating ass city. Too much shit be popping off here.

"Tae look." I looked at her then at her phone and she took a boomerang. She gone get my ass caught up.

"Say you want a lil' time, well I need a lil' neck
Say he love me all the time, I don't even read the text"

"Hey bitchhhhh!" I heard Myla's voice come from the phone.

"Wassup ho! I miss you!" Tink whined and from the corner of my eye I could see her bottom lip poked out.

"I know. Can't believe Nic left you with Deontae tho." Myla sucked her teeth and I raised my eyebrows.

"Ian do nun to yo bougee ass. Bighead ass lil girl." I flicked my middle finger in the camera and Tink giggled and pushed my hand away.

"He actually isn't that bad but anyways where you at?" Tink quickly changed the subject once she saw me look at her. Fuck she acting all shy for?

"Girl my brother house this nigga annoying." You could hear it in her voice she was annoyed and frustrated.

"Brother? Ian know you had a brother." Tink propped the phone up and started rolling a wood.

Shit, I didn't know either, and I thought Myla was an open book. I guess not. That shit ain't my business tho so I zoned out their conversation.

Once we stopped at a red light I pulled my phone out and sent King a quick text message, checking on him. It was something I grew a habit of after what happened with him and my pops.

He was in Miami on a college tour. King was smart as hell he had scholarship offers coming from all around the country. He wanted to stay in Chicago but I told him to still look into other colleges and see if he still wanted to stay there.

The sound of Trust by Brent Faiyaz playing through the car speakers snapped me out of my thoughts. Once we made it to the location of the apartments Tink sprayed herself with perfume and we both got out.

She walked over to the movers and spoke to them for a few seconds before walking over to me and leaned up against me.

We were by Lenox Square.

"These don't look like apartments." I mumbled, looking up at the large building then at Tink. She was on her phone I guess texting the nigga.

"They're in the lobby." I followed behind her as she led the way.

๐šƒ๐š’๐šŠ๐š—๐šŠ "๐šƒ๐š’๐š—๐š”" ๐šƒ๐šŠ๐šข๐š•๐š˜๐š›

Once we made it inside the lobby I just knew I wasn't gone be able to afford this apartment. The lobby screamed FANCY even the windows that surrounded me were fancy.

I was so busy admiring the lobby I didn't notice 2 men approach us. One of them was brown skin dressed up with a suitcase in his left hand while the other was the complete opposite. He was dark skin with waves and he was wearing a green long sleeve, black shorts, and NIKE slides and socks. He had to live here too.

The guy looked up from his phone and smirked. I quickly looked away as I bit my lip.

"You must be Tiana. I'm Jeffery Eve." The guy in the suit spoke up, extending his hand out to me and I gladly shook it.

"This is my friend Deontae." I looked back at him and he was already looking at me before he shook Jeffery's hand.

"This is Jasiah one of the residents here." Jeffery introduced the chocolate beauty behind him and we shook hands before we walked over to the elevator. He scanned a card and pressed the 6th floor.

As we waited in the elevator he began to explain everything.

Deontae was standing behind me holding my waist as he asked questions. He was asking questions like "What is it like at night" just overprotective questions.

He walked in front with Jeffery and I was behind them with Jasiah.

"I'm Nic's brother." He held that same smirk on his face.

"Like blood brother? How come-" He cut me off.

"My dad adopted him when he was 3." I nodded understanding. Jasiah was fine as hell! I usually don't like dark skins but he is handsome.

"Mmmm so you're the one that got me the hook up on this place and a job?" I raised my eyebrow at him and he smiled with a some laugh showing his perfect pearly whites. God definitely took his time with him.

"Yea. He told me he had a beautiful friend that needed help. Once you sign for the condo I'll let you move yo stuff in then whenever you ready then we can talk about the job. That's cool with you?" He raised his eyebrow and I nodded with a smile before my smile disappeared.

"Wait condo?"

Jeffery opened the door and my jaw dropped.

"T-This...oh my god" I couldn't find the right words as I walked inside to admire everything.

Once you walked in the kitchen was on the right and as you walked further in there was the living room and balcony. The whole area was covered with grey wood flooring and white painted walls. There was a hallway which led to 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. Inside room #1 it had a balcony which viewed the pool and lounge area along with the other balconies from the other condo's.

"This shit nice as fuck." Deontae mumbled, following behind me. I walked into the bathroom and smiled in the mirror. This felt like a dream.

I turned towards Deontae and his eyebrows furrowed and he held my face in his hands.

"Whats wrong?" His eyes filled with worry then that's when I felt the tears slide down.

"I just can't believe this is happening right now. I wish Dre was here with me. He's really gone Tae." I looked up at him and he pulled me into his chest holding me tight.

"I'm not good with cheering folks up.. come on suck that shit up." He signed out and I pulled myself away from him and wiped my face. This definitely not the time to be crying or getting all sad.

"Come on." We walked towards the front area where Jeffery and Jasiah stood talking to each other. Once they seen us they stopped talking.

"You like it?" Jeffery smiled and I nodded.

"I'm not sure I can afford this though. This place has to be a couple thousands." I leaned against Deontae since he stood behind me.

"I know the owner of the building and I convinced him to lower the price for you also the first 3 months of you living here is free just so you can stack yo money up." Jasiah smiled and I looked at him surprised.

"Is he serious?" I looked at Deontae and he shrugged with a straight face while keeping eye contact with Jasiah. They having a staring contest assum?

"Let me make a phone call." I stepped out of the room and called Nic. This was all too much. Did he want some in return? Cause if that's the c-

"You made it?" His voice cut me off.

"Yes I made it and I am completely speechless. Nic I said an apartment not a huge condo like seriously I appreciate all of this but if you're doing this just because you want something in return then you can keep all of this-"

"Tink I'm doing this because you my friend and you been through so much. I just wanted the best for you." He said with a small laugh. I leaned against the wall and sighed.

"Thank you so much this mean alot." I sighed, playing with my necklace.

"It's nothing mamas"

"I'll call you back when I'm settled" I ended the call and went back inside.

"Where do I sign?" I picked up the pen and Deontae squinted his eyes at me.

"You not gone read the papers before you sign?" He voiced.

"Nic told me he already did and I trust him Tae" I whined and he shook his head.

"You serious right now Tiana? Read the damn papers I don't trust that nigga." He said and he gave me the papers to read.

I saw from the corner of my eye Jasiah made a face which caused me to poke my lips out.

After reading the papers everything was fine and I signed the papers. This place was officially mine.

"Thank you." I shook Jefferys hand and he left then I turned to Jasiah.

"Meet me in the lobby at 3:50 and we can talk about the job there." He nodded and left.

I sighed and looked at the keys on the counter along with the card and smiled.

"You ready?" Deontae looked at me and I nodded. We went downstairs to get the movers and we started moving my things in.

I sat in the parking lot of the mental hospital. My heart was beating so fast it was making it hard for me to breathe.

The time on my phone read 3:55 PM. I took a couple deep breaths before making my way into the building.

"I'm here to see Donovan McCarthy." I asked. The lady at the front desk looked at me like I was crazy.

"He doesn't have anyone on his visiting list." She typed on the laptop and looked back up at me. My fingers tapped against my leg.

"I'm his son."

"I.D." She held her hand out and I placed my I.D. in it. She stared at it before handing it back and standing up.

"Follow me."

I followed her around the hospital till we stopped at a door where she scanned a key card. We were in a lobby where 4 officers sat talking about whatever that was on the tv.

Glad I didn't have no gas on me or nun.

"He wants to see Donovan McCarthy." The lady mumbled and one of the officers shooed her away.

"Mind if we check you? It's just for safety" One of them asked.

"Nah." He came over to me and patted me down. I don't blame them my dad is a serial killer but what had me confused was why was he in a mental hospital.

"He's clean."

The other officer led me down a hallway then scanned a different key card. The door beeped and he stood by the door letting me in.

I looked at him then walked inside the room.

My pops stood at the sound of the door opening and both of us stared at each other.

"Deontae?" His voice was raspy and deep. I haven't heard his voice in years.

The officer closed the door and I sat in the chair by the corner.

"Why they got you in here instead of prison?" I got straight to the point. I didn't come here to catch up on the years he missed out on I came to get answers that's been in my head for as long as I could remember.

He started to laugh and he sat on the bed in the cage.

"I'm surprised your mom told you where I am. Thought the bitch would never tell you." He mumbled the ending. My eyes closed as I let out a breath to calm myself.

"She didn't. I've been doing research on the people that you've killed at least the ones that I know of and all of them were found with their organs removed." I stared at him and he shrugged.

"How's Kingston?" He grabbed a book that was sitting in a pile on the floor. My body started to heat up as my leg shook. He knew I had a bad temper.

"What did you want with a 15-year-olds kidney? It wasn't because of the money."

He continued to ignore me. We sat in silence for 10 minutes before I got up to leave.

"This shit was pointless." I mumbled.

"Wait Deontae..I need help."

"With what?" I turned to look at him.

"I need a kidney transplant and you're the only one who can give me one. I just found out a week ago."
