Me and My Best Friend..

 Saul dropped his head! Officer James says put your hands on the hood of the vehicle, do you have any sharp objects on you. Saul takes a deep breath, and softly replies yes, anything else on you that we should know about. He does not answer and the police officer James  searches him and pulls out a bag. You're under arrest.  Damn, what is my family going to say? I was doing really good, mom was proud of me. I can't call her and tell her I am in jail for possession. 


Edward stood behind the building, waiting for Saul, his body hurt, and he was starting to sweat. Musa sees Edward. Hey, Edward, said Musa, what are you doing? I am waiting for my best friend, wow dude it's cold out, why don't you wait for him inside. No, said Edward, my best friend loves me and he wants me around all the time. Musa thought, who is this dude’s best friend, and why did he say it like that, daaannng, but Musa just goes on his way. 


What’s up Edward, said Menelik.. Don't bother me, said Edward. Dang, you on one today! well, I am waiting for my best friend, it makes everything better, it makes me forget my struggle. Menelik, dude you need to go inside, it's freezing. Whatever said Edward. Menelik, thinks I am done, something is up with him and it's not good, and he better not knock on my door and ask for nothing.. I got to remember to tell my girl don't give a homeboy nothing.. If he stops over to the crib begging. I mean, Geeze, he just knocked on the door the other day, asking for a packet of red kool-aid, next time, it's going to be NOPE, for now on! Beg, butt.geeze.


Edward!!! Dang said Edward who is calling him now then he realized it was David. Hey, I am going to pay you David, but my best friend needed the money. I do not care about your best friend, you promised to pay me back and I have nt seen your butt since you borrowed the money said David. My best friend needs it said Edward. David then said you used to be an honorable man, keeping your word and helping out others, but lately, all you do is take and lie. Edward said, let me help my best friend one more time then I can pay you back. I am trying to get a job.. Yeah, Right said David, if you were clean, I showed you how I feel inside.  I am good for it David, I promise, said Edward.


Edward thinks, no one understands my pain, no one understands my plight, except my best friend, Snow. Edward gets tired, so he decides to sit on a bench, and the next thing he knows. He is frozen, and as life leaves his frozen body, He can hear his mother's beloved voice say. Edward, you're a king, among kings, those drugs are not your best friend, drugs took all  your money, it distracted you from the important things in life like your children, and drugs have destroyed your mind and heart, and makes you forget about the people who truly care about you, and now it has taken your life!  And he closed his eyes for the last time!
