-You used to call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
Call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
And I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing-

I was doin my cha cha dance to Drake x Hotline Bling. This me and my baby song, too bad she out with Jas getting a mani, pedi, and her hair done. Cant have my girl out here looking like a homeless pregnant woman. My phone rung soon as my part came on.

-These days, all I do is
Wonder if you bendin' over backwards for someone else
Wonder if you're rollin' up a backwoods for someone else
Doing things I taught you, gettin' nasty for someone else-

I turned the music down and answered the phone.

"Hello?"
--"What up nigga?"
"Ayee Zoe, whats up broski?"
--"Not shit but we got a problem J."

I sat down I'm the couch preparing myself for whatever Zoe was bout to tell me.

"Whats up?"
--"Jo know about Tye and he ready to go to war bout his sister."
"How he know? What he say?"
--"He told me the other night he walks around the house checking on everybody and overheard us talking."
"So when y'all having sex he be listening??"

I couldn't help but laugh.

--"You getting off subject J, stay with me. He got a gun and all man. I tried to take it, he pulled it on me, boy had hate in his eyes and wasn't even shaking."
"Did he tell you what he know?"
--"No but he said he got the full scoop."
"I saw him at the park with diamond, go get him and bring him by himself. Ill text you whats up. We got to get that gun. You know he crazy when it come to Jas."
--"Bet, see you in the minute."

I got off the phone and took my dog King outside since he finish eating. Few minutes later Zoe pulled up with Josiah. Perfect.

We walked in the house and I got them both something to eat. "Whats up lil bro? How you been?" He took his drink. "Not shit, chillin. Getting ready to be a daddy in 7 more months." I almost spit out my Apple juice. "A daddy?" He smiled so big. "Yeahh, diamond pregnant sis." I honestly didn't know how to feel. "Jas must don't know cause you still breathing." He laughed then rubbed his stomach. "Whats that?" He smirked and looked at me before pulling his shirt up. "Damn that shit go hard, let me see." He looked down to take it out then its like he rethought it and pulled it on me. "You think I'm stupid huh? You want to take my gun J? What you need it for?" I laughed a lil and put my head up to the gun. "Pull it Jo, you a man right? Pull it.... Pull the fuckin trigger Jo!" He stood there shocked. I stepped back and pulled a toy gun painted all black on him. "This what you want? Either way you screwed. If I pull tje trigger its gone kill you. You pull the trigger you getting locked up for attempted murder and for having a unlicensed gun during a violent crime. He looked down then back at me then tightened his grip. "I am a man, I'm gone protect my family, any means necessary." I handed my toy gun to Zoe and stepped up close to Jo real gun. "What about your daughter Jo? What about your girl? You can protect them but a real man gone put that gun down and fight with his fist. Just having that gun on you gone get you a charge. You cant protect and provide for yo family in a casket or behind bars. Give me that damn gun Josiah." I snatched the gun out his hand and took it apart. "This right here not gone get you nowhere bro. I love ya sister, I told you that. Me and J not gone let nun happen to her. We lookin out for you. I don't got money for bail or a funeral. Put ya head in ya books and create a future for ya baby girl and know we all got you and Diamond back." I went and put the gun up in my room while Zoe was talking to Jo. "I love you boy." I dapped him up then Zoe dapped him up. "Now let us whoop ya young ass on 2K baby boooyyyy."
