jada's pov

god, i cannot believe billie. i mean, what the fuck? i definitely do not want to be involved in any of her drug lord shit. is she hot? yes, yes she is. but does that mean i want to sell drugs? hell. no.

"what was that about love?" my mom asks as i walk back into the house after billie and i's little altercation in my driveway.

"it was nothing. i'm fine, just an old friend." i lie.

"ok, well your dad and i are about to go out for dinner. you gonna be ok being home alone for the weekend?" she asks with concern.

"yeah i'll be fine." i answer confidently with a smile.

"and remember that your brother's friend's mom will be dropping Kace off here after the sleepover tonight, so be up and ready for that." my dad reminds me as he pulls me into a hug before he grabs my mom's hand and they walk towards the front door together.

Kace is my eight year old little brother, and i swear he's the most annoying brother ever.

"i know!" i reply.

"love you! be good!" my parents say in unison as she leave out the front door.

"love you too." i say with a chuckle as i make my way into the theater room. then i take out my phone and text every person i know, which is quite a lot of people, and invite them to the party i'm throwing tonight. usually im pretty lowkey, i like to just go to parties and sit back. i'm always the designated driver. but not tonight.

after watching a few movies and having a few 21+ aged friends bring over alcohol, i was finally ready to sit back and wait for loads of people to come over and get this party started.

and soon enough, many, many people start trickling in. at first, it's just my close friends and their plus ones. but then it's mutual friends. then it's people i just know. then it's strangers. within an hour, my house is packed . music is blaring. the perfect place right now.

"heyy! where's my hug at?" i hear from behind me, and as soon as i hear his voice and his dumbass words i cannot help but to roll my eyes in pure annoyance.

"what do you want kahli?" i ask as i turn around to face the guy i once loved, my ex, kahli.

"cmon girl don't be like that." he says with an eye roll.

"ok." i dismiss him with a chuckle before i turn away and start to walk in the opposite direction. he quickly stops me, though.

"don't put your hand on me." i state while prying his hand off of my wrist.

"you know you miss me.. my touch." he says, his face lowering down to where he's whispering in my ear.

"you don't know shit. that's why you're on that fool shit you're always on. get out of my house." i demand.

"hell no, this party's fire as fuck!" he says while laughing in my face.

"please just leave." i say, trying out a nice approach.

"nah. i'll find you later sweetheart." kahli says before he turns around and disappears into the crowd.
