I went upstairs and got in the shower. I got out and did all my facial stuff. I put on a white fur sweater and some black jeans. I threw on my white and black low dunks. I went back downstairs and seen Bleu dressed.

My baby smile is so cute.
"Cmon Bleu , what you want for breakfast?" I asked , grabbing her hand. "Um .. eggs?" She asked. "Of course." I said , grabbing my bookbag and my phone. "Ima see you later okay BluBug?" Clay said. "BluBug?" I asked , laughing. "Yeahh that's my nickname for her." He laughed. "Y'all so corny." I said , laughing harder. Najhour started crying. "Oop , that's my time to go." I said , walking out the door.
Cause I was not trying to feed that boy till he fall asleep. I put Bleu in the car and strapped her in. Artis was taking a uber to school.
7:25 AM ..
I walking into my first class , hella late. The teacher stared me down till I sat and got comfortable in my seat.
"Mr.Parlon , answer this question for me." The teacher said , pointing to the hardest problem on the board. "Um .. a-c+ can't give us +e3 cause e3 isn't in the equational motion." I said. "Wrong. It can give us e3 and it is in the equational motion. Mr.Parlon maybe if you'd attend my class on time , you'd know. Please come speak to me after class." She said.
I sucked my teeth and put my head down.
"No sir. Head up in my class. Maybe you'll learn something." She said. "Maybe you'll learn to wash your feet and not smell up the classroom." I mumbled. "Excuse me? Mr.Parlon , come speak to me in the hallway for a second." She demanded.
I pushed my book off the desk and sped out the classroom , slamming the door behind me. She rushed out into the hallway and and glared at me.
"What?!" I snapped. "What is wrong with you young man?!" She snapped back. I instantly started crying. "Oh okay .. okay cmere." She said. I walked into her arms as she hugged me. "I'm just .. overwhelmed. I feel like the whole world is on my back and I can't carry it anymore." I said. "Listen .. how about you take the day off from school. I'll tell the office and the principal that I dismissed you. You come back tomorrow and you come talk to me okay?" She said. "Okay .." I said , wiping my tears.
I went back into the classroom and grabbed my bookbag. Bri and Artis' eyes follow me out the classroom. I left the building. I drove home and seen Clays car. I got out and went in the house. Clay was sitting on the couch. He seen my face and stood up.
"What's wrong?" He asked. "I'm just tired .. i'm tired Clay , i'm tired." I said , with tears in my eyes. "Alright .. alright." He said.
He walked over to me and hugged me. The hug turned into a kiss. A long .. deep .. wet kiss. Demony walked downstairs and caught us.
"Hell no. Y'all back away from each other." Demony said. "Damnnn we can't kiss no more?" Clay laughed , wiping his lips. "Nope we not gon do this again. Every time y'all get wrapped up back with each other , somebody ends up shot or hurt." He said. "Whatever." I laughed. "Hollup .. yo ass not in school?" The both asked at the same time. "I um .. had a breakdown and the teacher told me to take a break." I said. "Oh .. well if that's the case , you can help me with your nephew. He is stressing me out." Demony said. "Uht Uhn , I am not the babysitter." I said. "Boyy help you brother before he lose his mind." Ki'moura said , coming out the bathroom. "Finee. Give me my nephew." I said.
Demony handed Najhour to me. I sat on the couch and turned on the tv. Artis called me.
"Yess Artis?" "Nah not this not Artis. If y'all not to this school in one hour , this nigga Artis is gon be dead." Zollo said. "Zollo why the fuck do you have Artis??" I asked. "Don't worry bout all that lightskin. Just come get your fucking friend." He said , hanging up. "Clay he got Artis!" I said. "Who got Artis?!" Clay asked. "Zollo! He got Artis hostage and said if we don't come get him in a hour , he's gonna kill him." I said. "Moura , call that school and tell them to check every nick and cranny for that boy. Clay , go grab your piece." Demony said.
Clay and Demony ran upstairs and grabbed their duffle bags of guns. Then Bri called.
"I can't find Artis!" She yelled. "I know bri! I know! We all on the way just relax." I said , standing up and putting Najhour in his car seat. "Tae where is he!?" She asked. "Bri just relax , we all on the way. Including your brother."
We all ran out the house. Demony rode in Clays car. Najhour and Ki'moura rode with me. We sped to my school and ran in. Didn't talk to the people at the front desk at all. Ki'moura held Najhour as we slammed thru every bathroom. We finally walked in one and seen Zollo with a knife to Artis' neck. Zollo had scratches all over his face meaning Artis had been trying to fight back.
"ZOLLO LET HIM GO!!" I yelled. "HELL NO! ALL YALL GOT ME FUCKED UP!" Zollo said. Artis had a purple and blue ring around his neck. "Artis you okay?!" Ki'moura asked. "Mhm! Just please get the crazy nigga off me!" Artis yelled. "Zollo .. let him go! You know what .. you can have me!" I said. "Taven no!" Ki'moura said.
Najhour started crying.
"Ki'moura take him out of here." I said. "Tae!" She said. "TAKE HIM OUT!" I said again.
She left out. I grabbed Artis' arm and pulled him. The knife almost cut him but it missed. I pushed him out the door and stayed with zollo.
"Lemme tell you something mu'fucka! You got me fucked up if you think you just gon snatch my friend up and not have to catch a fade with me! You lucky we ain't call the police on yo ass!" I said. "Fuck you the police! Matter fact-"
Zollo ran up to me and stabbed me. He poked the knife repeatedly into my stomach until I fell on the ground. I held my hand on some the wound and cried. Clay bussed thru the door and started fighting Zollo. Clay grabbed his pocket knife and slice Zollos throat. He realized that I started losing consciousness. He put his arms under me and picked me up. I held onto his arms as he ran down the hallway with me.
"YO SOMEBODY HELP ME!" Clay yelled. "WHAT HAPPEN?!" Ki'moura yelled , grabbing me from Clay and putting me on the floor. "HE STABBED HIM! HE FUCKING STABBED HIM!" Clay said. "TAE!" Artis said , trying to run to me but Bri grabbed him. "FUCK! HE'S LOSING TOO MUCH BLOOD! CALL THE AMBULANCE! CALL THE FUCKING AMBULANCE! PLEASE!" Demony said , holding my head. "TAE PLEASE DONT LEAVE ME! PLEASE BRO! I NEED YOU.." Clay said.
Everyone's voices started fading. My eyes started closing. I felt my blood leaking from the side of my stomach. I felt myself dying.
