NOBODY

Mariah and Melo didn't speak to each other at all during the remaining away games. It was obvious something had happened, but no one wanted to say anything. It wasn't until a week later when Gelo messaged her.

MARIAH

mari

This could either go one or two ways. One, it could be LaLiar trying to contact me, or it's just actually LiAngelo. I didn't know what to expect.

gelo

smooth criminal 💰👓
what did u do to my brother
he's been an asshole all week

Uhh..am I supposed to care? Like I don't know what he wants from me right now.

which one
the one we don't speak about
or the giraffe?

smooth criminal 💰👓
yk which one 😐

what makes u think i even speak to him 🤨

smooth criminal 💰👓
ur literally the love of his life
he's always gonna find a way
to talk to you.
now wtf did u do

LOVE OF HIS WHAT?? I had to double check that what he said was correct. If he actually loved me, he had a funny way of showing it. But okay whatever I guess.

why's it always
"what'd u do to him" and never
"what'd he do to u mari?"
ever wonder that?

smooth criminal 💰👓
no not at all
and i don't really care
now tell me what u did

you know..you used to be the best
looking brother. but then you got
all those fucking tattoos.
there was a time in my life where i
wanted to fuck you. still do but
that's for a different day.

smooth criminal 💰👓
bruh. stop.
i'm tryna figure out what happened
before it gets worse.

Worse? What possibly could LaLiar do to piss his brother off? Nevermind, I already know. But I was still curious.

wym by worse?

smooth criminal 💰👓
he just be lashin out on everyone
& no one knows why he's so angry.
jj's worried he might hurt himself
or someone else

I desperately wanted to ask how any of this was my problem. Because I knew for a fact that it literally wasn't.

uhh okay?
what r u asking from me gelo?

smooth criminal 💰👓
i just wanna know what happened
between y'all.

Before I could even respond I got two whole different text messages from two different people.

ceo of being traded 💥
why's melo being a little shit

unc 🖤
what's your opinion on stuffed crust?

I decided to text back Lonzo first.

"hello mari"
"how're you?"
that's how you start a convo zo.

ceo of being traded 💥
not the time for that mari
either u tell me or gelo what happened
or pops flies u out to LA for an intervention

An intervention? Now that's a little extra. But whatever's going on must be bad if Lavar wants to fly me out here, with his own money.

first of all
why r y'all doing an intervention ?
i'm 98.7% sure it's not that serious

ceo of being traded 💥
it is. melo snapped on all of us
and tried to fight gelo.

ooh
who won?
did anyone record it?

ceo of being traded 💥
u can't be fr 😐

how does it feel knowing i've
ranked u as the best looking ball brother ?
for years it was gelo, u, labitch.
but then u went & had a kid.
that definitely brought ur rating down.
love Zoey tho

ceo of traded 💥
if u don't wanna talk about it, fine.
just know i tried to stop whatever's
about to happen.

lol ok anderson

He left me on seen and I went over to Dmo's text message, hoping he wouldn't ask me the same question Gelo or Zo just asked.

is this a trick so u can ask what i
"did to melo" or are u actually concerned?

unc 🖤
ok maybe yes it is
but PLEASE i don't wanna go
all the way to LA just to find out
why melo's acting up

why's everyone always assume it's ME
y'all ever wonder if it's Ana?
everytime the bitch boy acts up everyone's
first thought is "what'd mari do?"
I AINT DONE SHIT

unc 🖤
uhh..because he usually only
becomes a lil asshole whenever
something happens between y'all?

not my problem
stick him in anger management or therapy
and call it a day. i just wanna have a normal life.

unc 🖤
yeah u & i both know that'll never happen

My phone vibrated once more, but this time it was a different person. The one who made me realize this whole thing was serious.
