Her Beauty Within

(Angel's story)

"Ok......I gave you a whole year. You needa bring your black ass back to Montgomery. The wedding next month....!" My sister pointed at me through the camera, I sighed out in frustration.

I did promise Sunny that I will be at the wedding. It's not like I can hide from my older sister and brother, we work together! Even though I work from Riverdale and they're more south than me, in Montgomery.

9 hours away.......

"Aight Sunny.....!" I scoffed at her, Drew sat back, watching the both of us. I picked up my phone, avoiding their gazes and stared at the last message he sent me 3 months ago......

Zay: it's been 2 yrs and u ain't answer me, YET! The fuck I did wrong? I know this not the wrong # I'm texting. Call me

Of course he knows that I ain't neva change my number. I held onto that one connection with him, but.....

"Don't snap at me......ain't nobody tell you to leave 2 years ago, cuz you was a chicken shit-"

"I wasn't!" I looked at her in annoyance. I love my sister with all my life, would do anything for her......but Sunny just too fuckin blunt.

"Yes you was....you and Zay fucked at Hershell wedding and you think that cuz this musta fucked up your friendship, you decide to haul ass-"

"Sunny....." My brother warned her. I ran my hand down my face and looked at him begging for help. He's the oldest of us 3, yet the most calmest.

Everytime Sunny says it.....I hate to realize how right my older sister is. I got scared and hauled ass.....and now, I basically fucked it up......

"Man....." I ignored them and looked over the company's web design and fixed it up some more.

"But there's a way to say things. Sunny control your fuckin mouth, Drea said she was coming." Drew looked at her sternly and Sunny rolled her eyes and sat back in her seat.

"I get that, but I know you tired of Zay always asking you bout Andrea. All you gotta do is talk to the man.....you making a big deal outta something that coulda been handled 2 years ago....." Sunny said, looking at the both of us.

"He got a girl......." I muttered, Drew scoffed and I saw his head drop with a chuckle.

"That shit holding on to its last hail mary. Look, Drea......if mama was still here, she woulda told you to stop running.....that's what you always do. You and Zay been best friends since highschool, y'all talked about everything.....you're 26 now......honestly, you was too grown to haul ass...." I looked at the keyboard when he spoke.
