You and Lamelo had been best friends since the 1st grade taking on Chino Hills for as long as you could both remember until the middle of 7th grade when your mom unexpectedly gets a job in Washington and your forced to move down there. It's been alm...
MELO'S POV "GET UP GET UP GET UP" I yelled into my mom and dads ear at 7:30 AM. Their groans followed and I responded with more shaking and yelling. "I hope your this excited to wake up early once school starts" my mom said as her and lavar sat up from bed. "Our baby boy is 16 today" my mom said and grabbed me like a baby.
My dad tone got serious as he said "Yeah your not a little kid anymore son, I want you to have fun tonight, but after that you need to know that your 16 and your on your way son. You've got a lot of responsibilities attached to you. Zo lit the match summer league, Gelo picked up the torch his senior season and now he's at UCLA, and now its your time son. You don't have your brothers on the court with you for the next two years. Take advantage of that, I know you can because your special. You've always been special son. That's why I come at you the way I know how great you can be. but others are gonna see that and they're gonna be envious some may even use u and that's why it's important to stay focused, know the real ones, and only keep genuine people that love you and will stay loyal to you son. that's the best gift you can ever have in this life."
I kept thinking about my pops words. Today they seemed to hold more weight than ever. I don't know if my pops did it on purpose because he knew today I was gonna introduce Ashley on the show and make it official and he has never been a real fan of hers but whatever I don't need anything have today I'm tryna get fucked up.
And right on cue my brothers Gelo & Zo walk into the door with the Facebook cameras trailing right behind them.
"MY NIGGGGGAAAASSSSS" I dap em up "Happy birthday Kid" Zo says as he hands me a box. "Happy G day dip, you know I got you for life" Gelo says as he daps me up again and hands me a bag. Gifts are always nice but I'm just glad to finally have the whole gang back. Seems like life has been moving so fast and we've barely had any time for all 3 of us to be together like this. I won't admit it but damn it's been tough being by myself especially having to deal with big baller by myself.
"Nigga don't cry" Zo teases me My face must've told again. "Nigga ain't nobody crying, and if I was it would real nigga tears. Something you would know much about" I clapped back "Bro turned 16 and just started talking all types of craaaazyyyy" Gelo said making Zo and a producer laugh.
DIAMOND'S POV It was 11 in the morning and I woke up to a bunch of texts, voice mails, and missed calls from both Sabrina & Skai. "WHATS WRONG" I FaceTimed our group chat. "DIAMOND GET HERE NOW!" Sabrina demanded "ITS AN EMERGENCY!" Skai exclaimed "What ? What happened ???" I asked now worried "We can't explain over the phone it's serious just get here" skai said again "Okay I'm coming!" I take the quickest shower ever and brushed my teeth not bothering to actually look presentable I slipped into my crocs and ran out. ..... "Oh lord it's worse than you thought S" Sabrina said to skai as I walked into Skai's house "I told you S" Skai said to Sabrina shaking her head. "What is the problem?!" I said tired of the side chats "It's basically 12 and you look a hot mess...." Sabrina exclaimed as she walked up to me! "She means this in the nicest way possible" Skai said trying to level her. I know these girls did not just do all of that because of this damn party. "Okay so you guys are ready to die ?? Is that it ! Is that why you woke me out of my first sleep on an actual bed in 2 days ?!" I asked pissed "Okay sorry D" Sabrina said not meaning one bit ..... "You have to look bomb okay. It's the first time your seeing your ex best friend in almost half a decade. It's been 4 years come on" Skai said making a good point.
"Okay so let's go to the mall so I won't have to show up in rags" I said, suddenly worried about looking good in front of Melo.
"The malllll ????" Sabrina said shocked
"This isn't a house party. This is basically a fucking ball. Your grabbing something from my G mom" skai said as she grabbed me into her god mom's work side of the house. "I've been planning this since you told me you were coming back last month. Come on I have ur entire outfit picked out." Skai said wayyy to excited
"Okay now I'm scared" I teased
"I'm the god daughter to one of the world's most known designers and she already Ok'd it so shut up. Your in safe hands" skai reassured me as Sabrina grabbed my other hand making me go into the dress room. .... It was now 3 p.m. and we finally found the perfect dress for me. And perfect is actually an understatement. The party starts at 5:45 but according to Sabrina "it doesn't start til we get there"
MELO'S POV It was 4 o'clock and we arrived at the venue to make sure everything was set. There was already cameras there waiting an I'm not just talking about our shows cameras, there was different types I guess they must've followed Zo & Gelo. I stopped to talk to a few and get a few confessional interviews done for the show before I saw Ashley walk in.
"Hey boo" Ashley said with her hands out I gave her a quick side hug "I told you not to come til I was done with all the extra interviews" "Oh you did?" Ashley said trying to play dumb. "Since I'm already here I might as well hop in them with you. You were making us publicly exclusive tonight anyways" she continued.
I reluctantly let her. There was wayy to much cameras for us to be arguing already and while Facebook might edit them out I doubt the other camera men's would.
The interviews were hell. I knew Ashley was clingy but her in front of cameras was even worse she turned it up times 10.
It felt like music to my ears when one of the producers yelled "people are starting to line its 6 o clock Melo" And shittt that was all I needed "sorry you guys but duty calls" I walked away from the interviews not caring what Ashley was saying. ...... It's 8:13 p.m. my party has been a success especially now that my parents went back home me and my boys been turning up. The music been loud, the drinks were secretly coming, and it was just a good time all around. Gelo & Zo went outside to catch their breaths but fuck breathing I can breath tomorrow and for once I didn't mind Ashley being clingy all over me on the dance floor.
DIAMOND'S POV Damn it is packed it took us forever to end find somewhere to park. We walked into the venue as Skai showed her invitation granting us all access. Skai's mom makes most of the brothers suits so he had no choice but to invite her. "Damn" all three of us said to each other in unison when we saw tonight's venue

As we were walking in we saw Gelo and Zo standing by the entrance talking. When Sabrina & skai went up and took their mask off "hey G hey Zo!" They said over the music coming from inside. "Ayeee what's good S wassup Skai" Zo teased "Who's your friend?" Gelo said trying to see under my mask Fuck it I said as I took off my mask. Just because I don't like Melo doesn't mean I have to dislike them. "You look mad familiar" Zo said trying to place his finger on it "Diamond aka your old little sister" I said alluding to how we used to call each other family before I left. "Ohhhhhhh shitttt" Zo said connecting two and two "Diamond Benjamin???? What the hell!! Has Melo seen you" Gelo said shocked as hell. "No I planned on surprising him later so don't say you saw me please" I told them nicely. Oh that I did. And they agreed .... MELO'S POV I was dancing with Ashley when Gelo tapped my shoulder and whispered yelled over the loud music "aye I got a surprise for you" "What is it" I asked Curiously "No who is it" Gelo said and winked "What ?" Okay now I'm lost and I barely had anything to drink "Look out for gold" Zo hinted Wtf these niggas on ?
