Melanie Jones
"Quan what did you do? Why you locked up?" I asked while panicking.
"Relax, you freakin out to much. Breathin too damn loud." Quan said calmly.
"Answer my fucking question!" I demanded.
"Nothin serious. Da feds found the guns in da car".
"W-what? Quan I told you ta take those out before you left! You got a bond?" I said pulling into the driveway.
" Ion know yet. I'll call you when I figure dat shit out." He said.
"What if you don't? How long you gon be in there fa?" I asked hoping for nothing to extreme.
"Fa 6-12 months. It ain't nothing". He said chuckling.
"FYM? You sitting there laughing like this funny. Quan we planned on having kids this year. You gon be locked up!"
"C'mon dont say dat. Sage gon be with you mama. I said ion know if I gotta bond yet, tighten up." Quan said making me frustrated.
I was upset he was taking this so calmly. Without Quan nothing will feel right. Of course I have my baby Sage, but it'll just feel off.
" I gtg, I love you, bye Melanie."
"Bae don't say bye. We have to hope you won't be in dere fa-
Mid sentence he hung up. Tears immediately started rolling down my face as I got out the car. As I opened the door Sage was there with his arms out, which made me realize he already knew. He held me tight just letting me cry.
"It'll be okay". He said kissing my head.
He sat us on the coach while he began ta pray.
"Father god you are so good and we love your endures. We ask you ta lift us up and many others dat are facing da same problem. We might not understand their actions but you do. Whateva happens lord we trust you and know you as our judge. In Jesus name, Amen".
Lova nigga dat know how ta pray 😏.
"Amen". I said as he wiped my tears.
My phone started to ring. I put it on speaker, the robot said what it had ta say and we heard Quan.
"Yo"
"Hey, you figure it out yet?" I asked
"Yuh, ima be in hea for 6 months". He said making me put my head down.
"Listen Melanie, I love you with everything in me ight? Ion want you ta cry after dis, I want you ta continue ta enjoy life and be happy. Don't stop cs of my choices ight?
"Sage? You dere"? He asked after he was done.
"Yea I'm here".
"Ian gon sit hea and tell you a speech cs yk how we roll. Keep our baby safe n you stay safe yourself my nigga".
Quan hung up before he got to say anything. Sage and I held each other tight and didn't let go.
—————————
It's been a couple days since Quan got locked up. I haven't slept at all. I've been trying to keep myself distracted but it's not working.
Right now me and Sage are on our way to the trailer park to see mom and Malcolm. We haven't seen them since I dropped them off.
"Hello hello! Open up people!" I shouted as I knocked on the door.
"Lanii! Sage!" Malcolm said as he opened the door.
"Malcolm!" We replied. "Where's mommy?" I asked.
"In the kitchen!" We heard her yell.
"Hey old lady. How you holding up?" I asked.
"Good good. This trailer park is actually very nice." She said.
"I'm glad you like it. One thing you should change tho , is letting Malcolm open the door. This world is crazy, doesn't seem like a good idea". I said.
"Girl please, I only let him open it cs we heard you". She said as we both looked over to Malcolm, where we seen him and sage playing.
"Speaking about Malcolm, I wanted to ask you something". Mom said making me nervous.
"So I may or may not have done something bad. So I was wondering if you could take Malcolm .. for a couple days .. or months".
"Months? Mom what did you do?" I asked.
" I robbed someone .. they after me Melanie .."
