"Shit."

I hated walking on these crutches.
Guess that's what I deserve though.

"You ready?"

I looked at Jayda noticing that she was still in her pajamas.

"I thought you were taking me."

The door opened revealing Carter.

"Jayda he's not taking me anywhere."

"You think I wanna take your thieving ass somewhere." He said.

I rolled my eyes.

"Listen I have this big meeting with another hair vender and I really need them."

I looked at Carter then back at her.

"Whatever lets go."

"I just wanna know, why would you steal? Especially from a nigga like me."

We weren't even in the car for a hour yet and he wants to ask this shit.

"Yo momma ain't teach you no bett-"

"Don't bring her in this."

CARTER.BROOKS

Ole girl had the nerve to tell me not to bring nobody in it.
Bitch if I wanna know then I'm going to find out.

"Why not? Oh you stole from her too and she disowned ya ass or sum?" I chuckled.

"She passed when I was seven." Hesaid in a low tone.

Damn.
I have a reckless mouth and I never think before I talk most of the time.

"Mines too. But when I was ten."

She got quiet looking out the window.

"Listen I just wanna know why you wanted to steal from me."

"I'm sorry okay." She sniffed keeping her attention all out the window.

I decided to leave it alone.
I guess her mother situation was still hitting her.

"We're here."

I pulled up in front of the house.

I took a look at rose still sleep.

Since she couldn't get her bags because of the crutches I decided to get them for her and place them on the porch.

"Rose." I knocked on the window and she woke up.

I opened the door helping her get out.

"I'm here." She mumbled as she walked up the steps.

"Yep."

Before she knocked on the door we took a look at each other.

"Well im about to dip, call Jayda if you need sum or shit."

"But your here and she's not."

"Shawty I'm about to go back to Atlanta."

She rolled her eyes.
I'm not about to look out for a person that stole from me.
You lost all my trust.

"Well leave!" She got loud.

You don't have to tell me twice.

I didnt need him looking out for me anyway.

I ring the doorbell and waited for the door to open.

"Who is it at my dooor- Rose...."

"Auntie Tia." I smiled.

She didn't look so happy to see me.

"I thought that little bitch was lying on the phone, but you're really here." She opened the door wide. "Come on."

"But I can't grab my stuff, my leg-"

"You got another leg and arm right?" She got smart.

"Yes bu-"

"Then use the shit." She walked away.
