Loyalty - Chapter 7: Chapter 7

I walked up to ma crib with Nivea today was her birthday and I wanted to drop her gift off. Ringing the door bell she answered five minutes later.
"Happy birthday" Nivea said before I could. I was about to say the same but I knew something was wrong.
"Thank you" she said in a low tone.
"Ma what's wrong"? I asked as we walked inside and she closed the door.
"I went to see Gucci because she hadn't been coming by. When I got to her place it was a mess and she was a even bigger mess. It took her three hours just to tell me that she was pregnant and just three days ago miscarried".
My heart sank and then broke because it was my baby she was carrying.
Nivea replied "I didn't know she was back, you didn't tell me she was back". She said to me holding her belly.
"Thank you for the birthday wishes but I'm about to head back over there and keep her company she is really in a dark place".
I didn't waste no time taking Nivea home and going by to see Gucci. She had to go through that by herself she didn't just lose a baby so did I . Even though I didn't want it at first I was starting to accept the fact that I was going to have two kids and that maybe she was carrying my boy.
Soon as I walked in her place I saw her sitting on the couch. She was a complete mess and just looking at her sadden me.
"What are you doing here"? she said dryly to me not even looking my way.
"I'm sorry you lost our baby I should've been there for you more I just didn't know how to juggle you and...."
"Save it I don't wanna hear your excuses. I lost MY BABY! You didn't do shit you never showed up to the two appointments , you never answered the phone calls when I was in pain . Dammit you didn't even pick up the fucking phone the night I lost the baby"!
"Gucci me and Nivea was ...." she got up and got in my face .
"I don't give a shit about you and Nivea . She got her baby I don't have mines. That's what you wanted though you cared more about that baby in her belly than the one I was carrying. Right....right"!
"Dammit Gucci THATS my Girlfriend of course I'm be happy that's she's having my kid. Me and you a baby that wasn't suppose to happen, but I most definitely was going to take care of it. Just not how you expect me leaving my girl to come play house with you".
She replied "I'm not even in the mood to fight with you the baby is gone we no longer have nothing to talk about".
"Really Gucc I told you about these feelings and shit"!
"Feelings ?! I went through a miscarriage ALONE ! I should've aborted it like I started to"!
Banks hands flew across her face and his mother then intervened.
"Bank that's enough you need to leave now"!
Banks was furious at what she said "maybe you deserve that miscarriage cause any bitch that thinks abortion is okay has no right to be a mother in the first place"!
"Keel LEAVE NOW"! My mom yelled.
I looked at Gucci one more time before leaving her house.
A year Later
💎Gucci
"Come on Greg you know I'm good for it" I said on Greg's doorstep.
"Gucc man Tex made me promise not to give you no more crack now you need to leave, better yet get off this shit and get yourself together". I rolled my eyes and replied "can't believe your turning down fucking money whatever".
I went through a huge downward spiral after I lost my baby. To cope with the pain I started using drugs it was to at first help me cope and then i started to see my baby while i was high, so i did it more until it became a addiction. At first I was traveling outside of town to get my goods, but now it was so bad I didn't care who I got it from.
Banks and Nivea had their baby girl and I just couldn't be around that because around this time was when I was suppose to have my baby. It wasn't fair that she birth a healthy baby and mine died. Banks didn't even give a shit about me long as Nivea was straight that's all that mattered he cut me off completely. My car got repo, I got kicked out my apartment and I was even forced to close my shop I haven't been there in so long there's no telling who was running it now.
I hadn't seen no one not even momma in a year. Only person who saw me was Greg now that he said Tex knew about my drug addiction it won't be long before everyone knows. If they cared I guess they'll come looking for me which meant I needed to go back into hiding.

"Say da-da Paisley" she looked at me and smiled . My little girl was three months today and thinking about it today was the due date of when Gucc was suppose to be due. When my mind ran on Gucc I didn't know how to feel . She pissed me off so bad that night that I was done with her completely.
At times though I missed her smart mouth and good cooking . She was the only girl I knew cooked better than my own mother. She somehow disappeared she was even talking to my momma who was the one running her nail salon hoping she would come through the door.
The door bust open and in walked Tex "bruh Greg just called me Gucc showed up to his crib asking for ...."
I sat up "asking for what"? I said as me and Nivea looked at him.
He sigh and gave me that look "man he said she's bad off than the first time".
Gucci on crack what the fuck I got up and handed the baby to Nivea .
"Where you going ? You can't always save her Banks"!
I turned and replied "she's this way because of me I wasn't there when...."
"When what"? She said.
"We'll y'all later right now I gotta go"!
Me, Tex and Dugga searches every crack house for her and couldn't find her and it was making me mad. I didn't want to give up not until we found her. We had every dope boy on alert for her.
"Aye man I just....just got a t...te....text she's on..on Melrose"! Dugga yelled.
Melrose was the Mecca of crack head there was a crack house on every corner of Melrose it was also where her and her momma lived before she got arrested. Melrose was like a ghost community filled with nothing but poor families .
We pulled up in Melrose and headed to the section eight apartments .
"Aye there she is"! Tex said as he turned into the apartments there she was begging. She lost so much weight and looked so fucking bad. It made me throw up how bad she looked.
Tex got out and called out her name and she ran.
"Fuck now we gotta chase her ass" Tex said. On feet me and Dugga went after her while Tex tried to block her off on the other end of the apartments.
She was running fast as hell crack heads had speed. How was I going to take her home to my momma I thought.
When I got arm length I tackled her to the ground turned her around and our eyes met. Damn this shit broke my heart. She looked at me and laughed "shit I'm fucking caught". It was definitely obvious she was high as hell.
"Gucci" I said a tear fell.
"Nigga get the fuck off me" she said.
Tex finally made it around to the other side of the complex.
"Shit Gucci what happen"? Tex replied.
"I met this nigga that's what I happen"! I picked her up and she fought us as we tried to get her in the back of the car. Finally she was in the car and just like a crack head she started flinching and scratching looking around like a bird and shit.
"Gucci do you know what today is"? I asked.
She turned and jumped as I touched her bruised shoulder. Her clothes was so dirty the color was covered in dirt and she smelled like pure shit.
"What...what did you say. You got something for me I good for it" she asked.
"No Gucci you gotta get clean baby girl".
"I saw him you know"? She laid in my lap.
"Who"? I asked.
"When I get high I see our son Banks". She then falls asleep.
