56. Part 3

Cassius hasn’t really answered the question he asked me, I am waiting for him to answer but he decided upon going into the warehouse. He thinks walking off and doing other things will change the fact he needs to make a fucking decision, if he does openly want Celine in his life then I think I will have to say bye to my friend, I will lose him “just get this shit out, ok. It shouldn't be here still should it. Ignore what Cassius said ok, get it out” Cassius be coming up in this building confusing the damn workers, I know they think why is he here. I mean after what he did in New York, they shook “we get them out for you, why did Cassius say round them up?” the guy overseeing the workers said “I don’t-” I moved back as a bullet flew right across my face and right in this guys head, the guy just dropped onto the floor. Turning my head to see who the fuck that was, everything is so still. I looked up and Cassius just stood there staring down at me, I hope that wasn’t for me and he purposely missed “clean this up! Get it moving, now!” I would like to know his fucking problem, he is probably hating me for whatever reason unknown, I am just speaking the truth. He has been fucking with Celine for far too long and it needs to be cut off but I don’t think he will, I don’t know. Jogging up the stairs, he scaring everyone in this place. Pushing open the door “I don’t know that bitch, tell her that. Kill her for all I care” Cassius said on the phone, closing the door behind me. Walking over to his desk slowly, seeing a rolled up bill “bye” he disconnected the call “who was that?” he threw his phone on his desk “someone begging for money” nodding my head “tell her that you said, you know this person. So who is it” sitting down on the chair “my mom” he laughed “kill her? Did you take something? Are you doing it again” I am not sure about him, he been using his own stuff for so long that I don’t think it takes affect on him unless he has excessively “doing what? Are you asking a crackhead if they had crack, that is funny actually” he sat back in his chair “why did you shoot him? I was speaking to him, why?” I don’t understand, Cassius shrugged “maybe because you was speaking to him, I mean who cares” he laughed “you can be such a dickhead at times, you going to be alone. You know that, right?” Cassius doesn’t care, I can tell he doesn’t “it will get to the point even Celine won’t want you” Cassius got up his chair “want me? She wants me, only I will be the one to kill her, remember that” he pointed at me “you attempted that several times, I seen. I am going, you can do what you like” I am not fucking with his attitude, it was only Myles that did but I don’t, I think he actually has took something.

I caught a cab back after walking for like twenty minutes, I needed to clear my mind a little. Cassius can be very intoxicating, I caught a cab because I don’t want Sofia to see I am back without Cassius, it’s just adding to the mess and I don’t want that. I just need to back away from Cassius, at times I miss Myles because he did remain there and kept me updated even thought he wanted to kill Cassius, maybe it would be easier on a lot of people if he was. Closing my door behind me, I am so drained from him and I wish we had a longer holiday. I think what pushed it is that he said kill his mom, I mean that is bullshit he loves his mom and he knows that. I stopped walking seeing Amira on the floor with Cartier on a playmat that Amira got him “oh you back” she saw me, I smiled at little Cartier. He seems happy with those toys “don’t act like you ain’t happy to see me” I smiled at Amira “I am just saying” shaking my head as I made my way to the couch “I ain’t done well Amira, I left him there” sitting down on the couch “Cassius?” she got up from the floor “yeah, he is being the worst and on top of that he just won’t let Celine go, he just shot a guy because he was speaking to me which pissed me off and then he said kill the bitch, which is his mom” rubbing my face “not this again, Cassius has always been unstable. I said that to you, when I heard he was coming out if being locked up I was not impressed. But he has been good” I am so annoyed “the point is, I can’t handle him” Amira sat across from me “how can I tell Sofia that I left Cassius there still not wanting to accept shit he does and in a place full of shit he was addicted too, tell me that Amira. I just don’t agree with him” why did I leave him there.

I feel bad for Cartier now that I am seeing him “you need to consider that Cassius loves his family, he lost them. He lost a brother, a friend which is close to him, he nearly lost his family. Everyone was looking to him, personally with all that stress I would do that shit too. I mean you know Celine, would she tell you the truth if he was. Seeing as Cassius talks to her a lot?” nodding my head “if I tell her that he is killing himself” rubbing my chin “does she love him?” Amira asked and I chuckled “a lot, they are bad for each other though. She is clean, but I know if they got together they would both be on it. You don’t know half of the shit I seen with them. I think he wants them both, not sexually with Celine” I don’t know what to do “first thing you do, call Celine. You speak to her yourself, you said she is clean and changed, bitch show it. I want to do what we can so we can keep these two together, also I want Cartier to have a dad. Kyle, this is a test for you. You need to help your friend, not run. I know he wouldn’t ever harm you. I do know that” Amira said “I know, I need to check on Ethan about his family. You think he is doing this for Celine? Because we saying stop it?” I questioned “I told you, he is probably going through it, I am shocked he even getting married. You told me everything about him, he ain’t a guy to have a child and get married because he is a bad guy but he does have a heart, I don’t think Cassius knows what he needs in life or what he should be” I sighed out “he can’t be loved” I mumbled “Carnell would say that to him every day, any sign of weakness, he said to him boy, you can’t be loved. Nobody will love a dealer like you, a killer like you. I was scared of Carnell myself, on god. He scared me, still does. We was only sixteen and he will drill into his brain about selling yourself to that life, which he has I mean he wouldn’t leave it” I need to make phone calls now.

I now have to contact Ethan and Celine, I think I will do Ethan first. Pressing my phone to my ear as it rang out, I do pray that Cassius is not going to spin out of control but him shooting that guy, I mean good aim but that was not cool “Kyle” Ethan answered the phone “Ethan, I need an update on Cassius family” let me find out Ethan did anything “Cassius said kill them, I mean not me personally. He told me to not protect them anymore Kyle, she came to me and begged to call Cassius and for him to speak to her, I sent her away, to walk home. I can’t do what he hasn’t told me to do and that is protect them. Niggas out here are foul and will kill her, that is what I don’t want “Ethan, Cassius is just going through something, listen to me. You don’t let any harm come to his family. When he opens his eyes he will regret it. Tell Monique to just stay away from him” she needs too “she said she is flying out to see him” that is just great “if you can stop that, it would be great. Keep in contact and protect them” disconnecting the call “Monique is wanting to fly here, how about you stay away from him. You ruined him and now you want to fucking come here, annoying as shit” Amira sat next to me and hugged my body “you done that, now you call Celine” she is a dumb bitch, I know her, she will tell Cassius straight away that I called her about him.

Waiting for the call to connect, I mean Celine and I don’t really see eye to eye and I don’t really speak to her “it’s different to see you call me” here we go “you know me, anything for my nigga” Amira is trying to listen to the call “he just got off the phone with me” Amira kissed her teeth, that was loud as shit. Moving away from her “what was he saying?” she won’t tell me shit “my cousin is going to leave him” he actually said that “and why is that?” I questioned “she don’t like me speaking to him, maybe if her ass wasn’t so stuck up and paid attention he would speak on it to her. But here I am” that is their business “since you know everything about Cassius, is he taking again? I think he is. Celine this is not a fucking joke, he has a son this time and I don’t want him to lose that and if you love him you will speak the fuck up” the phone line went silent “you know your cousin like you say, she will take his son” Celine huffed out “he said he had a line or something. I said to him why, don’t do that. I did tell him to not do it. I am clean Kyle, I don’t do it. I am happy” this is so fucking annoying “but he isn’t happy” I retorted.

Celine and I have been quiet for a while now on the phone “why?” she finally said “he has my cousin, he got a son. He is in love” I wish it was just that easy with him “that is true but Sofia don’t want him inviting you to the wedding or speaking to you, they argued. Why exactly is he holding onto you Celine, what is it? He’s not fucking you” I am confused, let her go it’s so easy “we talk Kyle, that is it. I don’t know what you want me to say, we talk on things. And he has been wanting to go back to drugs for a damn while now Kyle, this is not new to me. Since he got betrayed, since his brother died. Since being a hero to ungrateful people he said it to me, I told him no. Be with your son, yes I do love Cassius and I would want him but he don’t want me, he wants me to be there for him. He loves Sofia a lot and I have to accept that, yes he tried killing me for her and then I tried to talk him into coming with me but no, the boy is in love. I realised, sometimes with love you don’t get the man but he wants me to be there to talk too. If he wants to stop then he can say it but he doesn’t want too” licking my top lip, I wasn’t there for him mentally, just there to help. I mean none of us were “if you love him Celine, let him go. Let him be with Sofia” Celine laughed “when I can feel he is hurting” this is a mess “think about it” disconnecting the call.

I want to scream but I won’t “so what did she say?” Amira said as she picked up Cartier from the floor “that she fucking loves him, she said he told her he wants to have drugs a while ago. He has had some, both cousins love him” shaking my head feeling stressed “she said they talk, he wants her there to talk too but fuck me, talk to Sofia. She is there” Amira sighed out “what if they do talk, Sofia can’t know? Just talk him out of inviting her to any wedding” looking up at Amira “then that is starting a marriage on lies, I can’t do that to her” I mean that is crazy talk “but then do you want Cassius to be in that bad place, look at Cartier. That is a small thing compared to what he is like. He only became calm when he was locked up, he then had some now and then but if he is starting again he is going to be awful” I groaned out “don’t you think I know that, I have failed him. Why can he talk to her and not me?” that is so bad “maybe he knows we will be disappointed, maybe Cassius is faking it with being clean. Maybe he feels he can’t be him, we all trying to be something we not right? I am a club owner, a legit one. When really I am running dirty money through it. Maybe we all don’t think what if Cassius is lost, we didn’t think on how he felt. He balances all these things and when anything goes wrong, who gets blamed. He does. I don’t know about you but maybe Celine helps him on that side” staring at Cartier “I need to break him” Amira looked at me dumbfounded “Sofia can’t know of this” I am crazy, I am.

Amira laughed nervously “break him, how?” I pointed at Amira thinking “I need you to get Sofia to come here, I am going to get Cassius home and she won’t be there. There needs to be an intervention. Don’t mention to Sofia he taking anything, I think this will work. I want to see how Cassius will react when I lie and say to him she gone, but somehow you need to get her to come here. Girlie night here, you need a catchup or some bullshit. Here is the thing Celine knows Cassius loves Sofia, she said he got to stop. This will work, team work yeah?” Amira grinned at me “yes but I am going Miami tomorrow so you need to do this quick time, I will work my magic on Sofia and you do Cassius. We can then get them together, I just don’t want them to break up. She is good for Cassius, look how he is when she is around. I think to be honest he is a lost soul at times, don’t you think?” nodding my head “I suppose, you get that done and then I can go and see him, I hope he ain’t done anything stupid. You don’t understand, I was right there and the bullet just missed my face” shaking my head in disbelief “I told you that Cassius is smooth, he is very smooth with the way he does things. I would love to watch him play boss” side eyeing Amira “stop it” her and this smooth shit.

Amira just text me saying that she has talked Sofia into having a girlie night in so this could work, my car is still here so Cassius hasn’t destroyed it or anything. I am sure he is still here, walking into the warehouse. I see Jasper is here, so Cassius is here then “where is he?” I asked Jasper “office” of course he is, making my way through the warehouse. Looks like they have also cleaned the mess up from the guy being shot, Cassius should be real glad that I love that nigga, to be doing this but it will be interesting to see his reaction but I know he will end up getting upset, he loves Sofia. He needs to just understand Celine needs to go and whatever is bugging him then we are here for him, jogging up the steps “it’s just Kyle” Fabian said, some new nigga thinking he can take aim at me. They both moved out of the way “he said he don’t want to be bugged” Fabian said “does it look like I care?” pushing the door open “you back” closing the door behind me “you got a whole brick there” I pointed out “Sofia wants you home anyways, let’s go” Cassius waved me off “maybe later” I will get him home, even like this.
