Page 27 of We Could Be Better

“I’m not mad at you I was hurt but I learned to get over everything. I know you did it out of hurt and anger just please don’t continue hurting me Cash. I went through enough with you and I just want us to be happy; I just want us a happy family.”

No more words needed to be spoken between us because I’m sure we came through a mutual agreement. Relationships come with problems but the strongest last and pull through. Cash was a boss and I know what I was up against; I know it had bitches that would want my neck. Cash was a street man so I was fussing and fighting with bitches like crazy. I was basically tired of fussing I can’t lie, but I was no longer about to let these bitches get to me. It was me and my nigga against the fucking world.

“I love you Ky!”

“I love you too bae.” I said then leaned up to kiss him

“What the fuck you mean she moved?”

“Exactly what I said Deuce”

Kyra wasn’t slick I had watched her every fucking moved since the time we had been together. I let her shit go because I knew from jump start what was up her sleeve. I knew all about Cash and his brother Keem; I knew about the moves they were making and I knew they were bosses in the streets. I didn’t want to be like them I wanted everything from them, but I couldn’t get to them. I knew if signed off on those papers she would lead me right to Cash.

When we first got together she told me everything about her past. I can’t even front at one time in life I loved the hell out of Kyra but she was making it hard for me to love her when she could get over her love she had for another man. I stopped touching her months before she divorced me because I knew I was Cash, so everything I was trying to do was done in vain. The day she left was the day I decided to follow her and everyone around her; I knew she left home that day in search for Cash.

But what really made me mad and took the cake was when they sent her sister to kill my brother. I hadn’t talked to my brother in years but I had heard from his right hand man that he was dealing with Cash and supplying him kilos. I happened to run into Bella and I knew who she was soon as I saw her.

Bella was stupid and played a big pawn in my operation; she would do anything for money. To be honest her greed for money was what really got her killed; I would never harm a child. That was all her doings to bring harm Paisley way, but I wasn’t going to stop her. I doubt if Kyra cared about the little girl or not because if she did the poor child wouldn’t have been living with her aunt all this time.

Anyways, back to what I was saying about Kaine he was always stupid and didn’t know how to learn the difference between business and person. He always mixed the two and that’s why we didn’t get along. I told him a long time ago about confusing the two. This wasn’t the first run in though; he just wasn’t so lucky this time. I had to say even though we didn’t talk; he was still my brother and I loved him. I wanted every last one of them to suffer the same way my brother did but worst.

“Find out where she staying at now and do what you gotta.”

I meant everything I said I wanted my men to find Kyra ass and bring her to me. I knew I should’ve just killed Dreka ass that day, but I was sending their asses warnings. I know she knew it was me or someone she knew because of the way she stared in my eyes when we were riding side by side. They weren’t backing down so I needed to step up my game and go harder; I needed them to fear me.

I don’t know what went wrong in life I had it all a good job and everything. I don’t know how I ended up here; I left New Orleans and changed my name because I didn’t want to get caught up in this life. But I couldn’t get away from it no matter how far I got it like I was pulled right back in to this shit.

“Deuce I got word on where ya girl laying low.” Rocko said into the phone

“Where?”

“This lil condo off Hardy Dr”

Now that I knew where she laid her head it wouldn’t be long before I make my move on her.

Chapter Twenty-Five

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 startedkicking 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.
