KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"What the-" I muttered as loud knocking woke me out of my sleep.

I rolled out of bed groaning. Quickly glancing at my alarm clock, I saw it was barely 8am.

Who the fuck is banging on my door like some madman this early morning?

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"Yo! Chill, I'm coming," I shuffled into my slides as I left my room. The knocking suddenly stopped.

This is some shady fucking shit.

I opened a drawer in the corridor leading to the staircase and pulled out a gun and tucked it behind me in the waistband of my shorts.

Just precaution.

I went down the stairs as the knocking started again. I positioned myself at the door in a way that I could protect myself if there was someone mad at the door.

"Nah," I shook my head. I started laughing. "You've gotta go, fam. Don't even start with that baby bullshit," I started unlocking the front door. "I bet you fucking tried it with Keem and he didn't take your rubbish so now you're tryna put this kid on me? Lowe dattt," I shook my head continuously.
