I don't think Eveside ever slept, or... maybe it just napped instead.
I woke up to the sound of police sirens, cars screeching, and the constant ruckus of neighbors. My parents apartment wasn't the best.. but it did what it needed. The fresh glimmer of the sun shines through my cut up curtains, as I rub my eyes I lean to the side of my bed lifting up my phone.. "Oh god..."
"YO WHERE YOU AT!"
Text from "Tone" 8:23 AM
I didn't even have to respond to tone because I knew where he was, probably by the skate park. I stood up strecthing out my legs, I could smell my armpits from a mile away !
"Eugh... thats enough... time to go away funk." I walked toward my bathroom slipping over clothes all over my room, as I opened my bedroom door I was met with the fresh smell of bacon and eggs in the morning.
"Hun! Your food is in the microwave! Im off to work baby!" Suddenly Momma Maebo left, she worked as a nurse full time and was rarely at home. Don't ask about the dad, not like we knew.
I walked into the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror, I yawned running my hand through my brown freeforms. As I continued to gain more conscious I slid on a pair of black ripped up jeans with a pizza stain on them?! I then slid on a grey Nike jacket before lacing up the air forces. I walked into the kitchen and stared at the microwave, it was like a choice menu in a game or something.
Sit down and eat? or Fuck the food and go mess around?
I shrugged before opening the door to the apartment and closing it behind me, Suddenly a man riding on a horse rode past me through the hallway ?!
"OUU! GET OUT THE WAY BOY!" The man rode the horse until he turned the corner of the hallway and flew off of it.
I couldn't tell if I was dreaming or not so I just continued to walk off. As I exit the apartment building the aroma of cigarettes and gunpowder erupted into the air, "Ahh.. hell yeah." I walk around the side of the building and dig behind the dumpster to take my stolen skateboard.
As I laid it down on the ground I skated off toward the skate park where Tone and Keema most likely were.
The Skate Park ...
As I arrived I skidded against the busted up pavement and picked up my board, thats when I saw Tone and Keema standing by each other almost like sulking.
"Huh..?" I scoff before running over toward the two, "Whats up gang!"
"Oh.. Hey man.." Tone looked up toward me, he hadn't looked this sad since he found out his brother came out.. the closet.
"Whats up scrub.." Keema also looked at me, her eyes sparkling naturally and her hair flying through the windy air. I always liked her, just never had the courage to say anything.
"Whats up with you guys man.." I rub my head sighing.
"Its Jazz.... The 8th Street Cheesers took him..." Tone stood up dusting himself off before holding his hand out. It was his chain...
"Yeah... we saw it earlier but couldn't do anything... they had guns." Keema looked down playing with her fingers.
My mood changed entirely, as I dropped my board I stepped on.. "Lets go back to my place."
As the Three skate back toward Maebo's apartment they enter, seeing a wild horse run around once again.
"SCREEECH!" As the door is pushed open almost being taken off the hinges Keema and Tone follow me toward my room.. I then lift up my mattress and slide out a firearm.. a Rossi Amaded that I got from a certain uncle of mine.
"Woah.. thats a gun bro!" Tone steps back before slipping on a pile of clothes and falling. He was always clumsy in tense situations.
"Maebo... maybe we shouldn't do... what I think your gonna do.." Keema exclaims.
"Nah... this gotta get done scrub." I smile toward Keema as she holds my hand urging me to put the gun back, as I fling off her hand I slide the firearm into the back of my pants.. maybe sure the safety was on so I didn't blow my ass off.
I walk toward the doorway and look back at the two.. "You guys coming with or what..?"
"I got your back Maebo.." Keema smiles pouncing toward me...
"Me too bro..." Jazz fixes his 76ers Hat and turns toward me. The era was 2010.. they weren't considered that bad...
"LetsDo this then." We walked toward the door looking all cool, almost like an action star walking outward from an explosion. As we open the door we all stop in the middle of the doorway, suddenly a horse comes galloping by again.
"Whats with the..."
"Don't ask." I cut off Jazz before we continue walking again.
