I sat in my bed wrapped in a Hermès blanket while eating cookies and cream ice cream. I felt terrible. I've been losing weight and been sleeping my days away.

I didn't mind that much though because I couldn't do anything I enjoyed doing. I couldn't cheer, spend time with my friends, Kentrell even took my MacBook. All I do is wake up, sleep, eat, and then repeat the next day.

I was dealing with my first heartbreak so what did I expect? I even thought Kamrein would check up on me somehow. But then I remembered I had no cellular devices.

"Ain't no other chicks spending your dough
This is taking a toll, the way the story unfolds
Not the picture perfect movie everyone would've saw" I hummed to Beyoncé song hearing multiple voices downstairs.

But I didn't care. The only time I left my room was to eat or get food from the kitchen. Other than that everything I had and needed was in my room.

"Imani comere!" I heard my dad yell. I hummed louder pretending like I ain't hear him "Imani!"

He yelled my name about 3 more times before I heard him stomping up the stairs. I hurried up and covered my face with my blanket laying down pretending to be asleep. My room door swung open and my dad walked in yanking the cover off my face.

"You ain't hear me calling you Imani?" He asked hovering over me. I peeked one eye open and shook my head no. "Yo' uncles downstairs they want to talk to you"

"I don't feel like having a conversation with anybody right now" I sighed.

"Why not? I should be the one slumped out and depressed. You hurt my muthafuckin' feelings-"

"Ok, fine I'll get up" I huffed wrapping my blanket around my body tighter. I knew if I didn't get up he would bring up the same thing over and over. It's embarrassing.

"You need to clean this room" He fussed as we walked out of my room to downstairs. Ben and Joe sat on the living room couch looking high as ever.

"What do you guys want?" I crossed my arms. I did not want to be standing here right now.

"Who pissed in yo' cereal? Damn" Ben laughed. I pointed to my dad.

"Kentrell what you don' did to my niece? Where the fuck that little mut at?" Joe asked, I scrunched up my face. Where was my dog?

"I ain't did shit to Imani. I gave that dog to the shelter yesterday. Maybe some good behaving kid can have it" my dad shrugged. My face dropped, why would he do that?

"Why you would do that? That was my dog!" I yelled starting to get frustrated with his bs.

"Who the fuck is you yelling at Imani?" He raised his voice.
