it's been a few days since i last heard from ahjee, i usually wouldn't be worried but right now i am. the whole hood knew about jaymo & ahjee. they were inseparable. no one knew they broke up until ahjee moved back to detroit.
i called her and she didn't pick up. "i think we should swing by her crib. i told lovely as she swept the kitchen.
she looked at me and nodded. "daddy. alegend said walking in the room. i turned to him. "watch this. he kicked his leg up and spun around like a fuckin ninja.
jus nod and smile. "aye that was some crazy shit right there where you learn dat?
instead of answering me he jus walked away. lil big head bitch. i turned around wit a mug on my face and lovely started laughin.

i nodded and walked in. i've never been in ahjee's house before it was nice and matched her vibe. i walked down the hallway and pushed open a cracked door. she was laying in her bed looking at pictures from a box.
i walked in and sat on the edge. i sat there for a second in silence before she finally spoke.
"i don't get it. she said.
"huh"
"i'm not crying. i can't believe it. my body won't allow me to.
"it's like that sometimes bby. we don't want to believe somethings true so our bodies jus-
