May POV:
"Girl, we going to the what?"
Serayah: "The Pier"
Bebe: "These hoes so ghetto they ain't know bout no damn pier Rayah. They from the east coast, we only got Docks"
Aya: "Hoe shut the fuck up. A Pier is like a Dock, just no Ferris wheel"
Alexa: "This bitch swear we ghetto"
"Bebe, pleeeeeaaasseeee don't forget you from the same block I am from."
Bebe: "Anyways ghetto kids we need to let Serayah focus on the road so May if you wouldn't mind hooking up your playlist."
I connected my phone and we were blasting music throughout the car ride. We just took in the scenery, clear skies, and mountains. It was different, but too different. The palm trees was something would be excited for but we are from Florida so that part was nothing new. When we got to the pier we got out of the car and began to walk. We saw Ferriswheels and people playing around. Bianka was craving everything with her pregnant self. Anything salty or sweet she was on it. We had to keep her from buying everything. We were all just laughing and enjoying each other company. It has been a while since we all had been together as a whole. I mean before Serayah came it was hard to get Aya, Bebe, Alexa, and I together and do stuff. With everyone career path involving different busy schedules it was really hard to relax. With Serayah she has been trying to get all together to have fun since we were in Miami fighting.
Serayah: "Y'all hungry?"
Bebe: "Now you care if we hungry?"
Aya: "She means herself when she says we and yes we are. Let's go get real food please"
We all hopped in the car and headed to a restaurant called The Draft. When we got there we got a table and sat down. We ordered drinks and we waited for our food.
Alexa: "So May, what was taking you and Ski so long this morning" giving me those side eyes.
Aya: "I wasn't going to say nothing but..."
"Y'all are so annoying we wasn't doing nothing but talking."
Serayah: "The lipstick mark on his neck said otherwise"
Bebe: "Y'all finally did that nasty bitch?"
"No we did not we almost did but of course we had things to do today. Can we talk about something else please?"
Alexa: "I am surprised, Ski would be having hoes fucking and now he got you and he don't even wanna finger you? Has he at least ate the box?"
"OMG LEX!"
Aya: "Uht uht you better answer that girl question."
"Just because you and Jah are hypersexual as hell do not mean me and Ski are"
Bebe: "She don't wanna let him in because the last dude she fucked kidnapped her, got her pregnant multiple times and when she lost the baby he would mentally abuse her. Before him it was the same bullshit except that nigga put his hands on her"
"BIANKA"
Aya: "Hold on now what she talking about, I only knew about Eric"
Alexa: "Bianka why-"
Bebe: "No because all she do is hide this nonsense and then get sad when she is alone"
"Bianka you are way out of line with this shit"
Bebe: "Tell your friends how you lost three kids. You used to cut yourself, be depressed and would suppress all of that emotion to make a nigga happy? HUH? Tell them, you are done hiding shit from everyone especially a nigga who cares about you that much that he won't even fuck you until he feels like he deserves you enough"
"SHUT UP" I scream, and the restaurant goes quiet people look at us. I stand up and walk outside to calm down. I cant believe she would do this to me after I told her I don't want people to know that side of me. It makes me look weak I am not no weak ass bitch. How dare she just tell my business when I practically told her not too. I just need to take a deep breath, deep breath, May breathe, breathe. When I walk back into the restaurant I go and sit down. They all just look at be but I just down my drink ing three gulps.
Bebe: "May I-"
"Shut up. You want me to share the story?"
Aya: "Babes you don't have to"
Serayah: "Yeah girl-"
"No I will tell it. Since you feel like you can just tell my business and think I'm just gonna let you sit here and tell it away. So the first baby right. I was in middle school, I had just finished my first period. I was walking home from school and this senior boy that I thought was really really fine. He called me cute and asked me to get into his car. All he had to do was say I was pretty next thing you know my first inch of pain turned into me finding out that I was pregnant and a month later my period came on. That wasn't normal because there was a baby there. With Eric, you all know that story. I tried to get away but he wanted a baby so he forced two in me. I had to deal with the depression, I had to clean up and hide behind my parents back. They don't even know. While I am releasing secrets why don't I tell you about my poetry."
Bebe: "Girl we know you write it"
"Yeah but did you know I make money from it? I make money and I get money from a boy who needed help with writing. I have been a writer and I need am about to have my doctorate in Psychology in a year. I have been off my meds and I have been really fucked up since the New York shit. I'm okay though you know." I say and I start eating and everyone is hesitant to eat.
Aya: "Well since you aren't the only one with secrets. Uhm my parents don't approve of me and Jah and y'all know I am not with the bullshit. They want me to date this doctor like I'm suppose to have an arranged marriage. I love Jah and they are trying really hard to tare this away from me. Jah depends on me and I depend on him more and that's just what it is,"
Bebe: "We are some stone cold ass bitches"
Alexa: "Why you say that"
Bebe: "Nobody has shed a tear yet"
Serayah: "We are some strong ass woman we all have our issues. We all have those toxic ex's and have our issues. Jarad and I weren't always stable. We have had our ups and downs. I have dated dudes that would slang and sell. Where I am going with this is that we are some strong people. When you look at us we do not see our pain you see what so hard we worked for."
Alexa: "Too Serayah's point, May you now are on a platform where you can speak for girls that go through these things and can't speak. You can give them that courage because they need to know that they aren't alone."
"My poetry is written solely for people to know that they aren't alone. I know how to handle this platform and like you said I am going to use it and I am going to make sure that this isn't for me. This is for us at this table, people back home, and for the people we are going to meet on the way."
Bebe: "I think this deserves a toast, if I wasn't pregnant I would ask for champagne"
Aya: "Well still ask for it" we asked and they poped the bottle open for us and poured us all a glass. "This is for us, to being strong, for having each other's back"
Alexa: "For forever being sisters and fighting when we need to fight"
Bebe: "For being the aunty and god parents to our kids and being the rock we all need, even if we feel like no one is listening"
Serayah: "For being the rock for our boyfriends and in some cases future husbands, from now on maefesting in anger management because we all need it" we all chuckled
"To no more secrets from each other, we're sisters and at one point we were all we had. To more times like this and to many fun times to. Finally to being the baddest bitches to walk Cali"
We all tap glasses and drink. We all hug and finish up our food. We then decided to go to the beach and watch the sunset. We got ice cream and more drinks. They guys weren't home yet so we all sat in the living room and watched tv until we fell asleep.
