FAST FORWARD 3 years...
"Amil, get yo bad ass out his fridge." I said looking at him go through Jakhi fridge.
"My uncle don't never got shit. The fuck." Amil said making me pop him in the mouth. This nigga bad as duck at 5 1/2.
"Watch yo mouth. The fuck." I said.
"Keep yo hands off my nephew. Hell wrong wit' you, guh?" Jakhi said coming in the living room.
"Boy, bye. Cause you always want to be apart of something." I said. "I want to call my friends!" I pulled up my FaceTime app and clicked on the group call.
I had made some new friends. They were Jahki's friends but we were close and I've known them since I moved up here.
"Heyyy friends." I said waiting for someone to join. No one joined and I watched them text in the group chat.

I looked at Jakhi.
"You stay staring at me." He said mugging me. I mugged him back.
"Bitch don't start with me." I said getting off the couch. I went to the fridge and grabbed one of his Caprisuns. He watched as I drank the last one of his favorite kind.
"Jariah, I'm finna beat yo ass." He said getting off the couch.
"Moveee! Cause you know these my favorite ones." I said laughing I sucked the pouch empty.
"You trifling as fuck." He said rolling his eyes.
"And bitch you sassy as fuck. Bye." I said sitting on the island in the kitchen. Amil came up to me with my phone.
"Ma, my dad said he finna call you." I sucked my teeth. It was gonna be the usual routine. Every week he asks the same questions. 'When y'all coming back? When you gone let me see him? How many niggas you letting be around my son?' All these jealous ass questions that I want to get away from.
incoming call Traylyn🖤
"Yes Traylyn?" I said looking at him through the lens. He was smoking a blunt.
"Why you being federal and calling me by my name?" He asked me. I rolled my eyes already getting irritated.
"What's up?" I said blandly.
"Damn, i can't talk to you now? What the fuck?" He said blowing the smoke out his mouth. I rolled my eyes.
"Bro, what do you need from me?" I asked him.
"I was just scrolling through our old messages and shit and I saw how we used to talk to each other. We used to talk like we was so in love bro." He said still pulling from the blunt.
"Tray... what did you call me for forreal?" I asked again.
"I miss you bro. I miss everything about you. I feel like you been gone for longer than need be. Like you just need to come back. The two years you was there, I didn't communicate with you at all. And now, i miss you more than ever and you acting like it's the worst thing in the world for me to miss my first love." He said finishing off the blunt.
"You seem so sure that you miss me and all this other shit. If you miss me, you would leave me alone and let me come back on my time."
"Jariah. All I want to know is if you coming back? That's all I want to know..." He said looking at me.
"I'm coming back next month. We're coming back next month. We will be there next month. Since you miss me sooo bad. And if you missed me as a bad as you say you do, you woulda been tried to get me to send you where I was at. You woulda been came down to see me. But no, you didn't talked to me for 2 years-"
"JARIAH WHAT THE FUCK?! YOU TOLD ME TO GIVE YOU SPACE. I GAVE YOU ALL THE SPACE I RHOUGHT YOU NEEDED. It's not like I was fucking other bitches while you was gone. I was either at my house or the Trap. They literally can not tell you one time I went out with them cause I was missing you and my son too much. And for you to sit here and try to play me out to be the bad guy when I sat in the front yard and pleaded with you to not take my son away from me and you did anyway..." He said yelling through the phone. I sucked my teeth.
"Okay Tray."
"You not hearing me foo. Bro. You better not had been lying about next month either Jariah." Traylyn said looking through the phone before hanging up.
"Damn, someone's a little upset." Jakhi said walking in the kitchen.
"That nigga stay tryna start with me. He do this bullshit every time dude!" I said getting off the island.
"Well, at least you stuck to yo word. You told me that when you came up here, you was looking for no relationships. You wanted nothing to do with these Cali niggas." Khi said stating what I said.
"You right but it makes me feel guilty. Cause the only reason I didn't was because I was stuck on him the whole time. I was thinking about what he was doing and not worried about what I feel was best for me." I said.
"Ma, you don't need another man. I'm fine with my daddy." Amil said making me and Khi laugh.
"Well, after yo honors day for kindergarten, we gone go back to ATL." I said to him, playing with his curls.
"Y'all coming with us?" Amil asked Jakhi. He was referring to the group chat.
"Nah, but we gone call and visit and shit. I don't think I'm ready to stay in Atlanta again." He said making me suck my teeth.
"Not too much on my city though, the fuck." I said mugging him.
"I'm gone beat yo ass if you keep mugging me like that. Li bitch." Khi said looking at me. I rolled my eyes at him.
