" yeah , i know but ship sone changed . Different plans . Come pick me up from my house in twenty minutes . "

I was silently for a second - for the second time this morning . I couldve said no , but Nell was my boy , my homie . I couldn't leave him hanging out there to dry . I had to have his back , no matter what .

Saphire was in the shower , i could leave her note and cab fare .

So that was the ew plan .

" aight , twenty minutes . I'll be there . " i hung up , scribbled a quick note on a piece of paper and taped it to the bathroom door with a hundred dollar bill .

I put on basketball shorts m my running shoes , grabbed a hoodie , my phone , and keys .


-Nell-

I heard a dial tone so i dropped my phone on the bed and almost killed myself laughing .

My big brother Neek walked into the room , a mug on his face , and glared at me . " so is the nigga coming or what ?"

I tried to calm my laughing . " yeah , he'll be here in twenty . So what's the plan ?"

" the plan is , you drive him to florence , all the while talking about ya'll deal went wrong and somebody got popped . Even go as far to say that you ready to kill a nigga about yo' paper . Lay the icing on real thick . I'll follow ya'll . When ya'll pull up at the warehouse where the deal supposedly went wrong at , that's when i come in . So watch out , I'm comin' in with guns smokin' , and all my bullets got that nigga name on it . "


IMPORTANT EXPLANATION ! ! ! : sooooo , let me explain . . . Ashton is supposed to be going on a drug deal with Nell and his other friends . so , Nell and his brother Neek are setting him up , but the reason why hasn't been revealed YET .
A Tail

-Ashton -

Was I stupid , dumb , a idiot , or all damn three ?

I groaned as I realized that I was all three. It took until I was a block from Nell's house before I realized I couldnt go through with it . What the fuck was I thinking in the first place ?

My father had hustled so that his children wouldnt have to . He had risked his life everyday for us and what the hell was I doing ? I was risking my own life for what ?

I had all the money I needed , a store , and I had just found a girl who could possibly get my head and heart lost up in the clouds . I wanted children , a family .

So I had to ask myself again ; what the fuck was I doing ?

I sighed and make a right onto Nell's block .

I was ready to tell him I couldnt do it , ready to tell him that this shit wasnt what I wanted my life to be about . wasnt no bitch in my blood . If need be then I would get out there and hustle and be on my grind in them streets but I didnt need to . and that was the bottom line .

before my car even came to a complete stop infront of the rundown brick house that Nell inhabited, my passenger door swung open and Nell hoped in .

" come on , son . " he said loudly . " peel the fuck out . Im ready . "

I sat for a second . Once again I was contemplating what the fuck to do and how the hell to get outta this situation . But all I saw was a muthafuckin dead end . I needed to help my nigga out . Or else what kinda nigga would I be ?

So I drove off down the block , silently , not sayin nothing .

Nell was in my passenger seat livid , mean mugging anything and gripping his duffle bag in his hands tightly . " on God man , its going down . When I find out who got my shit im goin in dog , no questions. "

"mhmm . "

" I dont deal with double crossing , two timing niggas , b . You know this . I cant believe these niggas got the nerve to try me ! Im killin somebody , tonight , fam . " he continued to rant about whatever the fuck it was that had happened . His comments sounded a bit more direct which through me off for a second but I chalked it up to him flying off the deep end .

Why why why in the fuck was I here .

Damnit.

I got on the expressway headed east .

I knew we were going east , just a bit outside Brimson . But that was all I knew .

Once Nell finished his foolishness I slipped in a CD and turned it up until Future was the only nigga voice I could hear . I didnt even want to think about shit anymore .

'finish this shit' I thougt to myself 'so you cant get home and make it up to Saphire' .

that sounded like a damn good plan to me .

Thirty minutes into the ride , I turned on my left blinker and looked in my mirror to see when I could get over . As I was switching lanes I got this uneasy feeling . The car behind me switched lanes with me . It just felt like -

I sighed .

My nerves were jumping , that was it . I needed to chill the fuck out . I tried to refrain from looking in my rearview mirror to keep from Trippin' but when I did , that same black on black Escalade was right behind me with the deepest tint on the windows . The tint was so deep I was positive that I wouldnt be able to see anything inside if I was right up on it.

This time I turned on my right blinkers and switched two lanes . A rest area was coming up .

I just needed to see , just needed to make sure that my mind wasnt playin any foolish tricks on me .

" yo , " Nell sat up straight in his seat and hit the mute button on my CD player . " what you doin ? Wrong exit . "

" I need to take a piss real fast , thats all . "

" a piss ? Piss in your pants . Keep going . "

I gave him a no bullshit look .

I was doing him a damn favor and he had the nerve to talk to me like he was running shit ? Yeah , fuck that . If it came down to it I was prepared to turn around and drop his ass back off at his crib . Cause this wasnt what I wanted to be doin anyway.

We had only been driving a hour and forty five minutes . I would gladly make the trip back .

I got off the express way , and followed the old back roads and signs to a gas station. The gas station was beat , it had two pumps and both read Out Of Order . the door to the station was hanging off rusted hinges and the wood that the building was made of was rotting .

it had a sign out front that said Outhouse Out back .

With one last glance behind me at my car I disappeared behind the building .

On my way , I picked up a old rusted pipe and pulled my pocket knife from my hoodie . They werent guns . But if some shit did happen , I wasnt just going to stand around and do nothing. I would take my chances .

- Nell-

" change of plans . " I said into my phone once Neek answered . " we gotta get this nigga now . He pulled over , off exit two . "

" aight , stall . I need five . "

He hung up .

I sucked my teeth .

How the fuck was I supposed to stall this nigga ? With jumping jacks and a game of spades ? Hell nah . That nigga was jumpy .

He knew , he had to .

I pulled my gun from my bag and tucked it in the back of my pants . Next I pull my knife out and tucked it in my sock.

I tossed my bag in the back seat and stepped out of the car . I looked yo see if he had taken the Keys , he had .

smart move.

That was okay though.

I pulled out my knife and slashed all for tires. Then I ducked around the building, opposite the side he had went.

It was on.

- Saphire-

Jas hugged me tightly . " I was worried all weekend about ya ass ! You couldnt call ? "

I laughed and pulled back . Once we were inside the house , I answered . " its not even like I was dodgin you . My phone died . "

" and where were you miss fast ass ? "

" girl , you wouldnt believe me if I told you . Besides , you the fast one, I bet you started fucking before yo titties even filled out .

We both laughed because I was right .

Jas was the hoe between us , bad always been , and would always be.

I sighed once my mind landed on Ashton.

My weekend was fine , morning was good and night was even Better . It just baffled the fuck outta me how Ashton just up and fucking left . What type of shit was that ?

He wrote that he had "business" to take care of .

I rolled my eyes and promised myself that the next time I saw him I was going to smack the shit out of his ass .
