Rome-Messiah Jacione Harlem

"What boy?" my dad answered the phone and I stayed silent then sighed and scratched the back of my head.

"What happened?" he asked "Uh don't get mad at me because if you get mad I'ma really be ma-" "Boy what?" he cut me off

"I think I just killed K'yonii." I said lowly "You know you not supposed to say stuff like that over the phone right?" he said before hanging up

Well my bad bitch.

I stepped over K'yonii's body walking into the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror doing a peace sign then pointed at the knife in my shoulder sticking my tongue out

"Bruh what the fuck did I really just kill my girlfriend?" I asked myself calling my dad back

"What?"

"Do I call the police this time or what?" I asked "Why would you call the fucking police idiot?" he asked

"I was just asking no need to get your panties in a bunch." I mumbled and the line was silent "You sur-" "I'm positive." he cut me off

I moved my lips to the side hanging up and walked back over to her sitting down to check her pulse. Very much it was there.

"Girl get up you ain't all the way dead." I said putting my face by her cheek to feel for her breathing.

"How I'm supposed to know if you breathin' if you already don't know how to breathe?" I frowned

Tell the voices in her head to wake up.

They knocked out too.

"If you get up I'll give you some di- Messiah why would you even think to say some shit like that?" I cut myself off caressing her face.

"I'm finna eat yo edibles." I said trying to get a reaction. Once she didn't respond I got up and took a cover off the bed covering her then walked out of the room.

I heard knocking on the door and just ignored it getting an edible out of the cabinet and a knife from the knife holder thing

Romeo and Juliet type beat?

I unwrapped the edible looking at the door as the knocking grew louder.

They must know I just killed this mufucka.

I walked over to the door looking through the peep hole not seeing shit. I furrowed my eyebrows and stepped away from the door.

I don't even play with ghost like that. I thought to myself opening the door. I looked at the edible and that shit looked right back at me.

😭

I locked the door and got another edible going back in the room seeing her in the same position

"Shit might as well tell you I love you just incase you are dead." I mumbled playing in her hair

"I ate yo edibles too sorry..."

"What is you even tryna die for? You think you finna go do some hoe shit with Tupac nem huh?" I frowned

"You wanna hit this?" I asked holding the backwood to her lips "No? Well I guess." I shrugged taking a pull

I lifted her arm up and let it fall then sighed "Can you get up please? I'm sorry. I just said I love you." I mumbled the last part interlocking our fingers

Is he sure I'm not supposed to call the police?

I grabbed my phone and dialed 911 holding it up to my ear waiting for the call to connect

"911 what's your emergency?"

"Hi um I thi-" "Rome." My dad bussed in the room and I looked up at him "Nevermind my dad's here thank you."

"Is everything okay?"

"Yea I thought he got abducted." I said

"Oh okay be safe." the call ended

"Didn't I say not to call the police stupid?" he questioned smacking my head

"My nigga you up in here high gettin' high while it's a motherfucka in here thats not functioning?" he looked at me like I was dumb

"It was gone be two I was gone kill myself." I shrugged "What's stopping you?" he asked taking the knife out of my shoulder slowly

I frowned "What you mean that shit gone hurt." I said taking the knife from him. "Go fix yourself." he said walking over to K'yonii's body

"She not dead." he said laying her on her back doing some type of shit my brain couldn't comprehend at the moment.

"What happened?" he asked "Uh she had one of the apnoeic attacks and she didn't know where her glasses or inhaler was and I watched her look for them and they were sitting right by me. Then I finally gave it to her and she got mad and stabbed me in the shoulder then I decked her neck I guess a little too hard and her breathing stopped up then she just passed out." I shrugged

"Fuckin' dumb. Y'all got one more strike and you goi-" K'yonii cut him off gasping for air then started coughing violently and I side eyed her

"Can she come?" I asked knowing what he was going to say before she cut him off "No. Go get her some water." he said sitting her up while she continued coughing

"Well that's just dumb." I mumbled "Cold or room temperatured?" I asked him and he cut him his eyes at me

"Well I'll get both then." I walked out. "Is it really my fault...? Nah. She hit me first." I said grabbing the waters then walked back to the room

"Girl you still coughin'?" I mumbled hearing her outside of the door "Hmm." I hummed handing her the room temperatured one

"Open it." my dad stale faced me "Shit my bad." I opened it handing it to her and she tried to drink it then started choking on the water

Why y'all not laughing?

Cause its not funny...

"I ain't even mad at you big dawg." She said to me still coughing a little bit. "Hmm." I hummed handing her an inhaler

"You ain't shit." my dad said shaking his head "Finally." she said clearly after a couple of pumps

"I was this close to crying." I pinched my fingers together "You'a lie." she waved me off "On Jehovah son." I said

"Real shit I need y'all to stop. Whatever y'all got goin' on gone have to stop. Y'all got one mo' and that's it. Y'all hear?" my dad said

"Yeah." We said in unison "I'm dead ass." he spoke and K'yonii put her head down and stood behind me laughing silently

I folded my lips inward to keep from laughing cause he was looking dead at us. Well me. "Alright." I said and K'yonii came from behind me.

"My fault. I understand sir." she said and I had to cover my laugh with a cough

"Get on my fuckin' nerves. It's always y'all two like damn." he muttered walking past us "Love you" I waved

"Bitch I heard you say you ate my edibles." she mugged "What was the last thing you heard me say?" I asked

"I heard everything" she smiled "Did you hear me say you a slink body bitch?" I mumbled then covered my mouth

"I didn't mean to call you a bitch. I'm sorry" I said quickly holding onto her arms so she wouldn't hit me. "I'm not gone hit you."

"Stop staring at me before we kiss." I said seriously. She stared a little longer then her eyes moved from my eyes to my lips back to my eyes

"Oh you want more than a kiss." I said pulling her closer and she placed her hand on my shoulder

I fucked up-

"Ni please don't." I said and she put her finger in my wound making me wince and close my eyes

"I tell you all the time that I will kill you and you keep trying me" she spoke calmly while moving her finger around

"You're crazy." I said with my eyes still closed holding onto her arm

"Why y'all ain- K'yonii stop acting like a fucking psycho! Let him go!" my dad walked in the room with a box of cereal.

She let me me go and wiped her finger on me. "Go to the car." he said to me

"This was our last strike?" I asked him holding my shoulder "Go." he demanded

"Dad we was just playin'." I said with a small frown "I won't do it again." K'yonii said standing in front of me

"If I tell you to leave again' you'll be missing a limb." he said looking straight at me and I stared back

"Please Meech I'm sorry." she pleaded

"Rome." he said and I walked away hesitantly and looked at K'yonii "I'll be back my love." I said and she started following me

"Shoot I'm going too then."

"K'yonii I'm not in the mood." he said and she smacked her lips

"Meechiana." she sighed with her hands on her hips "What you stoppin' for? Keep walkin'." he blinked at me

"Yew." K'yonii mocked making me chuckle as I walked down the stairs then I stopped and turned around

"Dad."

"Rom- ight." he mumbled and started to take off his shoe and I jogged down the rest of the stairs.

"Hate you hoe." K'yonii said "Love you too." he said. I walked out of the house to his car parked on the sidewalk and shit. Sickening.

This nigga car still runnin'? Stupid nigga shit.

After a few seconds he came out of the house. Shaking his head. Then he punched out two of my side windows to my car making my eyes widen

"Yo what is he doing?" I muttered then he sliced three of my tires and threw something into the distance then finally got in the car

"Nigga you good?" I asked him

"Break up with her."

"Like that was supposed to just happen cause you said." I mumbled "It is supposed to happen because I said." he said

"Let me see your phone."

"Wh-?" he snatched it from me and threw it out the window and drove off of the sidewalk "Damn." I mumbled

"How you want me to break up with her if you just broke my phone?" I asked as he drove off the sidewalk

"It wouldn't've worked anyways I broke her phone too." he said "Why?" I squinted

"Because I bought it and I can do whatever the hell I want with it." he said

"See that's yo problem." I shook my head

"Stop talking to me." he clenched his jaw and tightened his grip on the steering wheel.

Real mad I see. Who stabbed me or him? Oh okay...yea yea oh okay.

"Can you turned on the radio?" I asked folding my lips to keep from laughing. "I'm finna put my hands on you."

"Okie dokie." I gave him a thumbs

Well that was fast. I thought as we pulled up to the house

"Get out and go to your room." he said and I just got out not even about to mess with his mad ass. As soon as I got out he pulled off

I walked in the house and smelled some food. I ain't even mad I gotta be here. "Kai how ya back so soon?!" my mom yelled

"He left it's me." I said loud enough for her to hear.

I walked to the bathroom and cleaned my wound and wrapped it up then went in the kitchen

"Hi mom." I smiled "Your pa text me and said for you to go inna your room. Weh do yuh?" she asked

"Nothing." I said and she looked at me "Why yuh bleed so?" she asked "I got cut." I shrugged

"How yuh get cut paan yuh shoulda? Yuh tink I dotish or someting?" she asked growing aggressive "Why are y'all so angry today?" I made a yikes face

She took out a plantain from the frying pan and threw it at my stomach making me hiss. "Go to your room since yuh wanna be goat mouth." she said

"Love you too bestie." I made a heart with my fingers.

I walked upstairs and walked into the room Milani had there seeing her knocked out thent into my room and went to sleep as well.

"Get up." my dad shook me "What?" I yawned

"If I find out you have any connections to K'yonii. I'm beatin' yo ass." he said and I squinted

"What are you talking about?"

"You're not talking, seeing or dreaming of K'yonii until I say." he said and I blinked "What about Milani?" I asked

"Her dad and I will do the visit transportation." he said "You ek... It's very damaging to keep a child away from two loving parents as a whole" I said

"Shut up."

"Okay be that type of guy then." I shrugged turning my head the other way to go back to sleep "The food's ready."

"Wait why can't I talk to K'yonii?" I asked "Because y'all aren't thinking about what y'all do to eachother." he said.

Whatever that means.

"You wanna know what she do to me?" I smirked and he walked away from the door "No."

How he gone stop me from seeing her and she down the street?

"And don't even try to sneak over there cause she at her parents house."

Shit she even closer now.

"You know Milani's birthday is coming up?"

"Yea we already got it figured out." he said and I squinted "Hoe you goin' to prison." I said in disappointment

"Mother do you know your asshole of an husband has me kidnapped? That means no play for you. Ah ah ah." I said doing no with my finger

"None for you neither. Ah ah ah." she mocked doing the same thing making my dad laugh

"Milani you see this?" I scoffed "Ah ah ah." she said

"Can I still hang out with Kj?" I asked him

"You can do anything but talk to K'yonii." he said "Okay. I be back." I said

"You not gone eat?" he asked

"I'm only gonna be gone for a little bit." I said "Ight bruh." he waved me off

"Muchas gracias padre." I said rushing out of the kitchen then jogging out of the house

I don't know who he thought was scared of him but it ain't me.

"Nah I'm lyin' scared as hell." I said to myself.

Good thing she's only a couple doors down.

Not when you're jogging.

"Perfect Kj's here."

I sped up my pace and ran to the house. Damn near sprinting.

I knocked on the door and Tk answered.

"Damn nigga it ain't even been a whole day. Gone head and go home" he chuckled

"I came for Kj. I was gonna go to his house then I seen his car here" I lied and he squinted at me and opened the door for me to come in.

"Muchas gracias senor." I bowed "One weird ass kid." he mumbled

I jogged upstairs looking at K'yonii's door tempted to just open it. "Open it. I won't tell." MeMe dared and I frowned at her

"Want me to get my ass beat." I shook my head walking past her to Kj's room

"Kj." I said from outside of his door "Come in." he said and I walked in and he was laying on the bed

"I'll pay you if you let me see your sister. Take it or leave it." I said and he laughed "Bro do you know I get death benefits for my mom that ain't even dead?"

"Mmchtt come on bruh." I stale faced him "I'm not getting beat on because of you. Sorry." he chuckled

"Just text he- she don't have a phone oh my goodness." I face palmed myself "Is Yonaa here?" I asked him and he shrugged

"You're a useless bastard." I mumbled leaving his room then peaked back in "Please?"

"Listen I don't know what the hell y'all did but all I know is I'm going to get my ass beat if I let it happened." he said and I waved him off leaving

Is it really worth getting my ass beat? Maybe we should test it out.

I unlocked and opened the door quietly and quickly snuck in and she looked at me as she kicked the window out shook her head

"You're crazy." she chuckled Nigga you just looked me in the eyes and kicked your window out.

"I told you I be back. I'm probably about to get in trouble though." I leaned against looking around the room

"Well go. We'll talk to each other soon I don't want you to get in trouble." she said "Why can't they hear you?"

"My room is sound proof to where only I can hear them." she shrugged

"Messiah get out of the room. You could've atleast locked it back if you were gonna sneak in." Tk said as he opened the door

"How the hell I'ma lock it if it locks from the outside dumb ass. I don't have a key." I said "Bye Siah." she mumbled and kicked another hole in the wall

"Can I kiss her before I leave?" I asked him "Go home." he walked away and I turned to her and grabbed her face pecking her lips multiple times

"I'm going to see you later bro I'm not moving to another state." she chuckled and kissed me back "Go home."

"I have seperation anxiety." I said resting my forehead on her's "Don't start."

"Okay maybe you're a tad bit remedial." Tk grabbed me by my shirt and walked me out of the room.

"Why can't I talk to her or see her?" I frowned and he sighed "Because y'all aren't good for eachother right now."

"How?" I asked "See you later bro." he chuckled closing the door in my face.

🏡

As soon as I walked in the house I was greeted with a punch to the face "Jacione I'm not playing with you bro. Try me again."

"You still hit like a bitch motherfucka." I mocked the grandma from don't be a menace rubbing my nose

Joking. That shit hurt.

I walked in the kitchen and Milani was still eating. Well I wasn't gone that long "You eat like a bird."

"Yea and yo nose bleedin'." she shrugged and I felt under my nose "Lil punk." I muttered grabbing a napkin making her laugh

"Can I sleep in your room?" she asked and I nodded sitting next to her "Can we watch movies?" she asks "Sure."

"Okay I'm done eating." she said and I looked at her plate "Did you have a drink?" I asked and she nodded

"That's why you didn't finish eating yet." I mumbled getting up "Go to my room." I said and she ran out of the kitchen

I threw away the bloody napkin and washed my hands then wrapped her plate up then I made me a plate and wrapped it up then put them both in the ice box.

I walked upstairs to my parents room and opened the door without knocking.

"Guys don't give her anything to drink until she's almost done with her food cause she won't eat it all or most of it." I said and my mom gave me a thumbs up

"Night love." she said "Good night." I closed the door going to my room

"Can we watch boondocks?" she asked "Yea why you sittin' on the floor though?" I chuckled sitting her on the bed.

"Because I couldn't get on the bed. It's too high." she shrugged "Your height is a concern. You're like a muchkin."

"We got beef?" she asked me with her hands out.

"Sure."
