Chapter Twenty-two

Jonas entered his apartment with Prince’s words still fresh in his ears. It’s time to boss the fuck up. He was right. Jonas and his crew were doing pretty good for themselves, but the fact that he couldn’t put his hands on at least $50,000 at will said that he was doing something wrong. Granted, the investment he had made would bring in money once it was up and running, but that would take time, and lately, he had felt like time was something that wasn’t on his side.

The first things Jonas noticed in the apartment were two very distinct smells; something cooking and Pine-Sol. The house had been completely scrubbed, and the floors were mopped. These days, the Rafferty house resembled an actual home instead of a den of addicts.

“Go start your homework,” Anette told Jo-Jo as she was helping her out of her coat. “I’m going to make you something to eat, and then we gotta get ready to go over to the clinic.”

“Another treatment? I hate getting treatments,” Jo-Jo whined.

“I know, but you have to get them, so they’ll make you feel better,” Anette explained.

“They always make me feel like shit!” Jo-Jo cursed.

“You better watch that month,” Jonas scolded her.

“Sorry, Jonas.” She apologized.

“Now do like Anette says and do your homework so y’all ain’t late for the clinic.”

Jo-Jo looked like she wanted to argue with him but decided against it “Okay, I’m going.” She went into the room she still shared with her sisters.

“I swear, you and Sweets are the only ones who can get that girl to do anything without her giving you lip.” Anette shook her head. Now that Jo-Jo was getting older, she was picking up the unmistakable sassiness carried by all the Rafferty women.

“She’s just at the age where she’s feeling herself a little bit. Much like you and Yvette when you were 11,” Jonas reminded her.

“Yvette, maybe, but I was an angel.” Anette batted her eyes.

“Bullshit. You were a sour puss, and you know it,” Jonas mushed her playfully. “Speaking of your twin, where is she?”

“Probably in the streets somewhere doing something she ain’t got no business doing,” Anette told him.

Jonas shook his head. While Anette was focused on school and making something of her life, Yvette was doing the exact opposite. All she did was run the streets and hang around people who were no good for her. On those rare occasions when she was home longer than just to change her clothes, she was usually high, drunk, or a combination of both. Jonas had heard rumblings about the kinds of things his big sister was into, and he didn’t like it. He’d tried to check her about it a few times, but it would always end in the two of them arguing and her reminding him who the older sibling was. Short of him putting his hands on her, there was nothing he could do but pray she would get it together.

“How’re Jo-Jo’s treatments coming along?” Jonas changed the subject.
