PEANUT
“A nigga was out having a good time and boom! I had to make a stop before I go home to my wife and kids,” Chevy said.
I still had my suit on from all of tonight’s shenanigans, and here I was because white boy Colby had been found. Chevy slowly walked around a hanging Colby as I stood in front of him. “How long have you been hanging around for? Huh, Conner?”
“It’s fucking Colby you bit—”
Whap!
I sent a blow to his stomach. I didn’t like his ass just by looking at him. From his hair-sprayed swoop, to his rose-red ass skin, to his Tom's shoes with no fucking socks. “That’s right, Stutter Man, beat that nigga’s ass!” Dio yelled.
“Yu-y-y-you fucking with my—”
“Aw shit, my nigga is transforming. He’s talking regular. You fucked up now, Conner,” Dio taunted him.
Colby bucked wildly as he stared at me, scared. His eyes rolled toward Dio, “I said it’s fucking Colby, you bitch.”
Dio shrugged. “Conner, Calvin, Chris, Colby, Cracker, all the same to me. You're still going to die.”
“My father will have all of your Black asses.”
Whap! Whap! Whap!
I hit his ass. The more I stared at him, the more upset I got because the things I wanted to say I couldn’t. The way I wanted to defend my girl and my brother, I couldn’t. Chevy came behind me and said into my ear, “Let us be your voice. Fuck his ass up. Trash ass wonder bread.”
My nose flared.
“La-le-le-let hu-hu-him d-d-d-down!” I shouted.
Dio ran up to the side of me. “Nigga are you crazy. His ass is not going anywhere.”
“Ll-let him d-d-down!” I barked this time.
Chevy snatched the knife and cut him loose; his body slammed against the concrete in the Zoo. Colby groaned loudly. I could see Chev and Dio eyeing me curiously.
Colby struggled to get up. “At least one of you got a brain.”
Whap!
I hit him, knocking his face against the concrete again.
Stomp!
My foot impaled his ribs. Over and over again. I could see Dio jumping up and down while Chev circled me. “Yeah! Get in motion, Peanut.”
Clap! Clap!
“One, two, the Zoo is coming for you!” Dio taunted.
“Three, four, Conner should have locked his door!” he continued.
Colby held his hand up against his face.
Pound for pound. Whap! Whap! Whap!
Colby lifted his head as his bloody mouth opened. “Wh-wha- wait!” he cried.
Chevy bent down, growling. “Five, six, you’re about to die in this bitch! Seven, eight, mommy, and daddy won’t save the day.”
Clap!
“Nine, ten, Peanut beat his ass again!” Dio shouted.
Pound for pound. Whap! Whap! Whap!
I turned around, snatched the knife off the table, and jabbed his ass. Jab! Jab! Jab!
Colby sucked in his last breath before his head slammed against the floor. I moved off emotions for Alyse, but this shit was really about my brother because I am his muhfuckin’ keeper. Now I needed to decide if I was going to tell Alyse about Colby.
