"Yea bae I was just on the pho- i stopped as I watched her watch some familiar bitch walk through the isle I looked away at something random and picked it up as she looked at me and I continued "and Jerome hasn't heard nun" I said letting her hand go putting it back "I'm finna look in the back for the cookies and cream get me some pad's please" I said as I walked through the the next Isle as she grilled me I looked on my phone on the list knowing now It was her ex I got the ice cream and then some since we was gonna be in ny for weeks I heard conversations next to me and creeped up "and if you didn't have a girlfriend where would you be you was just texting me a month before you popped out begging to see me" she said as my heart sank I felt like just a pawn in a petty game "Stop talking to me bro you got a nigga as we speak" June said sounding real jealous getting that look "and what is that your concern and we was definitely fucking that month" I said looking her dead in her face "and you" I said punching her dead in face taking all my anger out on her just cause she hit the floor and didn't get up...

"Let go im telling you bro" she said as I took her out the store she "why would you do that" I said embarrassed and feeling like the worst version of myself I could be "leave me alone I'm tryna be patient cause this whole time you texting her and I'm putting this pussy on you buying you shit you dreamed of before we got together and you begging for someone else love" she said looking me in the eyes with tears looking down she gave me keys and a card and walked off I followed and grabbed her she snatched away "just give me some space" she said wiping her tears "I was gonna tell you it was I one time thing and I was drunk I had no time we had mad stuff going on" I said rubbing my hands through my hair as she just walked off I didn't know how to tell her I needed to do another run if I didn't she'll probably never speak to me again with all she's going through right now and all my people dying and going to jail I didn't know how I was gonna make ends meet...

"To be honest bro I don't know if she kno- I stopped talking as I heard the door bell "who that" Jay said "imma call you back" I said opening the door seeing Lani looking all dressed up but angry with bruised knuckles "you good" I asked as she just hugged me and walked in straight like that "have you seen my mom" she said as she turned on her phone it started blowing up "when did you get here" I said as the doorbell rang again she looked at me as I opened the door "wassup my nigga" he said happily as we dapped each other up Rayna mugged lani and lani mugged her back "what's the plans for today" he asked as the tension between them started "so how much you gave her Rayna" lani asked "300" she said putting her head down "you so lucky I see you as family" she said sitting up "and if not you acting like I gave her the coke" she said "so you knew what the fuck she was getting and you gave her money to buy the shit you gave my mother money for coke" she said getting real calm as Ray got close "I didn't know what to do" she said "I sat on the phone getting called bitches and useless over the same shit the fuck are you dumb" lani said breathing heavy "you knew she was gonna go back to it" she said pointing in her face "Rayna stop talking to me" Lani said backing up "come on Rayna" Jay said as she took a sip of her drink he took it "no you was so in denial about it until she was out there" she said "you let her go out there again I put all that money up myself to get her clean" lani said punching her hand "to be honest it's not my fault you're moms chose drugs over you twice" she said as Lani swung as she stood up they started tussling as me and Jay tried breaking it up they had each other good until lani started kicking I picked her up by the legs and she wrapped her arms around my neck "you ment it you've been holding onto that one you got it" lani said shaking her head as I took her upstairs "put me down" she said as I let her down we made deep eye contact as I stood infront of the door tryna keep my house intact "Lani y'all gotta talk this out" I asked feeling where she was coming from "nah I just need to get to my new place give me a ride" she said looking for her phone...

I searched for my mother high and low since got my place somewhat together since nobody knew where I lived I was somewhat at peace I couldn't even think about June "mommy Where's June" Nia asked "oh she went to work" I said keeping my mind on the food "hey siri FaceTime My Love" Kiara said mocking me I had her blocked so I didn't worry until she answered on the first ring "heyyy" they said "Kiara and Nia give me my phone now" I said very calm "mommy" they said as Jabari waved at the phone I just let them have it and finished cooking "ma she fighting with Jj" Nai said as they fought over the phone "come here" I said turning the stove off "as they dropped the phone and ran off it was awkward I picked up the phone and covered up with my robe "can we- I hung up and platted the food "dinner is done" I said as they came running we ate and the kids told me all about what they did while I was zoning in and out thinking about my mother...

"Hello I know we still not on talking terms but I haven't spoken with my babies in a week I've been texting you tryna see if your okay cause I know you not and it's okay not too" I said wanting to comfort her as I walked into her condo lobby "I'm fine shit you could come get them if you want now" she said sounding depressed "what floor you on" I asked as she texted the door and floor I got on the elevator and felt terrible for the last time me and lani really had time to be together alone I got off and walked to her door it was cracked as she was throwing all types of trash out her hair was a mess her clothes were stained with food she looked like depression "what is this honey I've never seen you like this" I said as she kept cleaning looking down "it's okay baby we gonna find her" I said as she kept cleaning with tears in her eyes i reached for the broom and she kept her focus "the kids are in the back waiting for you" she said brushing me off I just hugged her as she hesitated she hugged me back...

I went to mama sky's house since dad said it was a emergency but saw Jerome's car in the front I walked in and saw lani in the flesh Jay walked infront of me as Jerome stood infront of her "I'm leaving" we said in sync "yall not going nowhere we gon solve this yall been close since y'all could walk" pops said rubbing his head "and now she learned to talk" Lani said giving me a death stare I felt bad "I'm sorry" I said "you got it you got to have the good life things like not having to worry about a mom up until a few years ago " she said standing up I looked at her and realized I was wrong "I didn't know what to do I was drunk" I said "drunk mind talk sober thoughts" she said walking up "we ain't cool tho you could never be my friend nothing just a auntie in law to my kids" she said walking out "Kalani" dad said pissed walking after her "Kalani get yo ass back here" they said as I cried...

"I'm not doing this with you" Mama said walking up on me "doing what mama and where the fuck was you" I said annoyed ready to explode seeing how bad she looked in a week"you fighting your sister that's what you do cause she's helping me" she said as I smiled "helping you get high" I said speaking facts punched me and yoked me up I braced myself I didn't have it in me to hit her she was my mother and she she was strong like a man "you worry about yourself" she said triggering me "yo chill out on her" Jerome said as he pushed her "I was taking beatings from a grown ass man for you alone in the clubs making money for myself alone for you cause you needed me" I yelled as she put her head down she punched me and started swinging Jerome pulled me away as I choked her "you couldn't even face yo own shit alone without a going back to your habit you don't know what it's like" I said letting her finally hear the truth I got in to passenger side and felt way better "I'm sorry but I can't just watch you get hit on" Jerome said hugging me I felt weird as I hugged him back the energy between us shifted like old times but as friends...
