Page 26 of We Could Be Better

Rocko had been on my ass lately I couldn’t catch a fucking break.

I knew he and Deuce were coming for me but I didn’t know when.

The crazy thing is I didn’t know how Deuce looked so at any moment a man can just walk up on me and kill me.

Kaine had spoke on his brother on many different occasions, but I had yet to see him.

Never in life had I been so damn scared; I know I had to tell Keem about the messages I’ve been getting.

I was so exhausted that I couldn’t even go anymore, but I had to run and pick up Ryder from school.

The nurse called and said my baby was running a high fever and I was a mother first so that rest I was trying to get can wait until earlier.

I tried calling keem to let him know that I was leaving the house, but he wasn’t the phone.

I threw the phone down because I knew he would eventually call me back.

I probably made it to the school in record time I don’t play behind my child so when they called I jumped up.

My baby was looking so bad when I picked him up from the school; I felt hopeless for him.

But a little ice cream, Tylenol, and a movie would make him feel better.

I went to Wal Mart to grab us all the things we needed for us to have a movie night.

I looked behind me and noticed a car speeding up behind me, but didn’t think anything of it.

We live in Atlanta and traffic is always a bitch plus these crazy ass teenagers be flying like they have somewhere to be.

I switched lanes and watched at the car followed me to the next lane.

At the moment my senses started kicking in and I looked in the backseat and began to rub my baby legs.

I didn’t want to put him I danger, so I sped up trying to get both of us out of harms way.

I had so much going through my head and it’s like when you are really going through something no one every answer the phone. I tried calling everybody back to back, but all of my calls where going unanswered.

“Shit!” I screamed at the driver hit my car.

I tried to gain control of my truck but once it started flipping it wouldn’t stop.

I had so much pain going through my baby, but I just tried to get to my baby.

I looked down at my leg as I laid on the ground and noticed it was broken; I screamed for help for what seemed like forever.

I didn’t hear my baby voice I called his name over and over again.

I was being strong for my son at that moment, but holding on was the hardest shit ever.

I bucked my eyes wide and started blinking them so that I wouldn’t go out, but I was no longer seeing anything but darkness.

From the beeping sounds around me I knew I had to be in a hospital; I was relieved to know someone had come for help.

I laid back in the bed getting ready to relax until I thought about Ryder being in the car with me.

I immediately jumped out the bed jerking all the cords out arms, and I ran for the door.

Soon as I opened I locked eyes with the last person on the earth that I ever wanted to see.

“What are you doing here and where is my son?”

“Don’t worry he is fine; he’s back at the house waiting for you.”

I wasn’t about to put up a fuss because I know soon or later this was going to happen.

I quickly just grabbed my clothes and threw them on and followed his lead.

I was going to humble for now but in the back of my head I was thinking of a plan to get me and my son out.

If only Keem would’ve answer the phone when I tried calling him over and over again.

“Are you going to hurt my baby?”

“I don’t hurt kids sweetie; him dressed in all black and crying at you funeral will be enough excitement for me.”

Why even put up a fight when I knew he was coming?

I brought all of this on myself the only thing I wanted was to get my child somewhere safe, so the whole way there I didn’t even open my mouth.

I sat in the back of the van quietly; I had been through everything and had been everywhere except hell.

I would give my life any day just to make sure my son made it out here safe, so as long as the promised his safety then that’s all that mattered.

I didn’t even noticed I fell asleep until Rocko swung the door open and the van and we were outside of a big beautiful mansion. I was use to nice things so I wasn’t sweating it, but I had to say this house was the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen.

“Deuce!” Rocko screamed as we walked in the house

“Where’s my baby? I want to see him!”

“Don’t worry he’s fine! DEUCE! Where the fuck this nigga at?”

“Hold tight I’m going find him and don’t try nothing it have cameras throughout this whole house.”

I didn’t reply to him I wasn’t for a fuss right now; I had to save all my energy to protect my son by all means.

I stood in the foyer and looked around just sucking in the beauty of the place; I walked into the living room and noticed how white everything was.

I looked to the fire place and noticed a big painting sitting over it.

I know I hit my head in that wreck but I was far from crazy the woman in the painting looked just like Kyra.

I just stared at the picture; I didn’t know much but I knew my sister.

“Beautiful isn’t she?”

Hearing this fool voice had me on age; I didn’t know what kind of games they were playing but I didn’t have time. I just kept my back to him and continued staring at the picture of my sister wondering what kind of sick joke is this.

“You know one day your sister is going to be back here with me.” He said while walking up beside me, I looked over my shoulder at him.

“What are you doing here Keith, and where’s my son?”

“This is my home and your son is safe for now. Look Dreka I don’t bring harm to kids but if you try anything I will.”

“Don’t touch my son whatever you have against me take it up with me and not him. He’s a child and has not done anything.”

I was pissed off don’t threaten to hurt my fucking child because of what you have against me.

My child is innocent and up until he’s thirteen I’m responsible of all his sins, so they would have to kill me.

Behind my son I’m going to the end of the world; I was going to hang on for us because I knew one thing for sure.

Keem was coming, if I knew nothing about my man I knew he wasn’t going to stop until he found us.
