"Thank you, for letting me have a movie night with y'all" Liyah said while I nodded
"It's nothin" I said, putting Jaz in my bed since her shit still need to be put up
"May I ask you something?" She asked me while I looked back at her
"Mhmm" I said for her to continue talking cause what she finna ask me
"O, may I ask where's your mom?" She asked lowly once she seen my face
"She dead" I said plainly while kissing Jaz cheek and walking out the door and shutting it
"Oh, I'm sorry for your loss" She said while looking at me and I shrugged
"I lost my mom and dad, and got adopted by Julius which is my brother" She said while playing with her fingers like a lil baby
"What age?" I asked her which made her look up at me as we made our way into the kitchen
"I was 6, my mom died from a cancer and my dad overdosed on some drugs" She said while wiping her face and shaking her head
"Damn, don't cry shawty Ian mean to make you cry" I said while giving her a paper towel to wipe her face
"No it's not that, it's just I miss them both so much and the fact that they really gone, hurts the fuck outta me every night cause all I can see is myself walking in on my mom laid out in the hospital lifeless and as for my dad all I could see was the same for him" She said while tryna shake the thought outta ha head
Damn, shawty really hurtin.
"I'm sorry, I'm doin all this crying, it's probably making me seem weak" She said laughing lowly while looking at me
"Nah, it's not that it's just you hurting, it ain't nothing you can't get past in life" I said while looking at her
"Yeah, what about you?" She asked lowly while looking at me and wiping her face
"She died from car accident" I said while sighing and shaking my head
"Oh wow, I couldn't imagine" She said while I nodded
"It's straight, ion talk about it like that" I said putting my phone on DND and turning it off
"You just like me, I keep my phone on DND" She said while laughing lightly
"Hell yeah, ion do people" I said while shrugging
"You don't have no friends?" I asked ha while starting to clean up the kitchen
"umm no, cause I got told I'm fake, rude and stuck up, and spoiled brat" She said while looking like she finna cry again but decided not too
"Fuck em" I said while shrugging and washing the dishes and looking at her
"Wait, what you mean?" She asked me while wiping her face
"I'm sayin, fuck those motherfuckers who said all that shit about you" I said while rinsing the dishes off
"B-B-But there my friends tho" She said lowly while fixing her hoodie
"Nah shawty if they was yo friends, they wouldn't say shit like that about you, trust me" I said while shaking my head cause she got too learn
"I feel you" she said while nodding her head
"Mhm" I said while finishing up and throwing those old candies away
"Do you believe in Love?" She asked me while fixing her shorts as she sat on the bar stool
"Yeah, i believe in it, but I don't trust it" I said while looking at her
"Same, I'm afraid to meet someone and we grow that close bond and next thing you know they tell you they gotta figure themselves out" She said lowly which let me know that she heard some shit like that
"Someone told you that before?" I asked her while looking at her
"Yeah, my ex when all it was he was with my ex friend girl the whole time" She said while shaking her head
"Yeah, people will won't something you got and will do anything to get it" I said which is crazy ta me but it's the world we live in
"Your a very wise person" She said while I chuckled
"Ian have no choice" I said while shrugging
"I know, but how do you cope tho?" She asked me
"Sometimes I smoke, but other than that I spend time with people who mean a lot ta me which is my little sister cause pain is temporary, you just gotta learn how to keep a positive mindset" I said while reciting words that my pops told me about pain
"Oh wow, that's deep" She said while nodding her head and smiling
"Yeah, but that's how I cope" I said shrugging and going towards the living room to sit down
"Umm I know you said you don't really do friends, but you think we can be friends?" She questioned while turning the chair and playing with her jacket
"You can't hold that against her, cause of yo past" I thought in my head
"Yeah, we can be friends" I said while laying my head on the couch looking at the ceiling
"Omg thank you, I promise I won't bother you as much and also I'll make sure to make you upset so things don't happen" She said while smiling and looking at me which made me look at her
"What she meant by make sure things don't happen?" I thought to myself
"Aye hol on, what you mean by dat?" I asked her while sitting up
"oh, what I mean is that I won't make you upset to the point you hit me and tell me I'm not a good friend" She said while frowning and rubbing her arm
"Mhmm" I said while analyzing her from up and down cause ima have to keep a close eye on her and ion know why but my heart telling me too
