Tough love

Chapter 42

Ravens POV
"But ya needa talk ta' him" kevin (Odog) said into the phone.

"Why? He aint my problem. We not even together" I replied.

"I know all dat but he need yo help. Some help period." He stated.

I sighed. "I'll see what I can do"

"ight, I needa go, Natasha actin real crazy right n-TASHA PUT THAT SHIT DOWN!" He said.

Natasha( Tasha ) is his 7 year old daughter.

I laughed. "Ight ima go now" he said "ok bye" I said. He hung up.

"Jaylaaaaaaaaa" I said stretching out her name.

"Wessuh bih" she said coming into my office. "Ima be gone for a lil, got some business to handle. Please watch the shop." I said.

"Alrighty bih I'll see ya later" she said. "K bye" I said walking out the shop to my car.

I knocked on his door 3 times and waited. I guess today is the day I have to tell him.

"Wh-Oh hey ma wassup" he said correcting himself.
The door was barely showing only his eyes. The fuck is he hiding? His eyes were bloodshot red.

"Um, can I come in?" I asked. "Um" he sniffed "nah can we just chill out here?" He asked. I scrunched up my face. The hell wrong with him?

"Rj it's about 100 degrees out here. Can I please come in?" I asked. He sighed. "Yeah hold on one minute" he said. He closed the door. I heard a bunch of shuffling so I'm assuming he is trying to clean up.

He opened the door for me to come in and I stepped inside.

It was way to clean to have just done that in a second so I have no idea what he was doing when he closed the door before.

I was making my way to the living room but It was too quiet so I turned around and he had his eyes glued on my behind.

I knew I should have changed out my black leggings I was wearing.

"You can go first" I said moving out the way. He chuckled. I shook my head and followed him to the living room.

I took a seat on the couch and faced him. "So...wassup?" He asked. "Nothin much" I said "um kevin just wanted me to talk to you" I said. "What he say?" He asked quickly and curiously.

"He was just saying that you been weird lately and asked me to come check on ya" I replied. "Oh" he said lowly. "Ima be back" he said and ran to go upstairs.

It's been about 20 minutes and I've been waiting patiently. Now I've lost all my patience.

I went up stairs like the nosey lil girl I am to find out what he was doing.

I checked all around the 2nd story. Nope.

The third story. Nope. And finally the 4th.

I walked into his bedroom and found him on the floor.
His eyes bloodshot red and him sniffing white powder from a container. Cocaine. "What the Fuck?" I semi yelled.

He shot his head up and stood up. "Loo-" "the fuck is wrong with you!" I yelled. "Your gonna kill yourself with this shit!" I yelled again grabbing the container.

Tear started to form in my eyes. "W-why?" I asked as my voice cracked. He scratched the back of his head. "It's the only thing keeping me sane" he replied. "What the fuck is wrong with you? You know how many people care for you? And your out here sniffing CoCo! Think about your kids Rj! You want them to grow up without a father?!" I yelled as tears streamed from my eyes.
