Brenda’s ass, I laid my head back against the wall and mellowed out. I was feeling so good that I just closed my eyes and nodded my head back and forth.

Popping Shit
I’m sure I looked like I was knocked out, but I was fully aware of what was going on around me. I opened my eyes a little bit and saw Brenda going off on Ty. “How the fuck you think you gon’ hit that shit before me? I’m the fucking lady of the house, and I’m supposed to get some of that shit before you,” she screamed.
“I was the one who took her to score,” he explained as he shoved the needle down into his vein.
“I don’t give a fuck! It’s my motherfucking needle, and y’all are in my house,” Brenda roared as she watched Ty inject the heroin into his arm.
Being fair to all parties, he only injected half of what was left in the syringe. And as soon as he pulled the needle out of his arm, he handed it to Brenda. Without hesitation Brenda snatched the syringe from Ty’s hand and looked at it. Frustrated, she said, “There ain’t shit in this damn thing.”
Ty ignored her and leaned his head against the wall. He went straight into a zone. Instead of Brenda relaxing and trying to get a buzz off the rest of the dope in the syringes, she stormed out of the room and slammed the door behind her. We heard her talking shit about us as she walked down the hallway, but we didn’t entertain it.
After fifteen minutes passed I stood up from the floor and when I opened the door to leave I was greeted by Brenda and this big guy. He stood there in the entryway like he wasn’t about to budge. Brenda stood there alongside of him with her arms folded. The expression on her face spelled trouble in my eyes. “Where the fuck you think you’re going?” She roared.
Instead of answering her question I threw my hands up. “Look Brenda, I don’t want any problems.”
“You ain’t gon have no problems as long as you give me what you owe me.”
“Brenda I don’t owe you anything. Whatever beef you got is with Ty.”
Brenda took a step closer towards me. “Bitch don’t play games with me. Ty ain’t got shit I want. You got the dope so hand it over before I make my nephew take it from you.” She demanded.
Before I opened my mouth to reply to her outlandish demand, her over grown ass nephew lifted his white t-shirt and showed me he had a pistol tucked away in the waist of his jeans. My eyes grew at least three inches. “Bitch hurry up! We ain’t got all day.” he barked.
My first thought was to push my way by them and make a run for it. But I decided against it. My body weight was no match for this big guy. And besides, he had a gun so I had no chance of winning either way you looked at it. I let out a loud sighed and then I reached down into the front pockets of my shorts and grabbed the other pill of dope I had. Brenda immediately snatched it out of my hands and I gave her the meanest expression my face mustered up. “Okay, she got what she wanted. Now will you let me by?” I growled.
“Nah bitch! Now you gotta pay me.” he replied.
“Pay you what?”
“Ho don’t play stupid! Empty out your pockets and let me see if you’re holding out on us.”
I swear on everything I loved, I wanted to cry right there. Here I was in a fucking dope spot all by self. I looked back at the nigga I came in here with and he had nodded off into space. So I had no one to defend me against these monsters. Brenda and her nephew looked like they wanted to tear me apart and rob me of everything I had. I played it cool and did what he asked. This was the only way I could get out of there in one peace. I tried to push most of the money I’d stolen from Denise down into my pocket but Brenda’s nephew caught on to what I was doing and snatched my hand out of my pocket. “This bitch is trying to be slick.” he roared. And once my hand was by my side, he reached down into that very same pocket and grabbed
