I walked into church with Kali and my grandma and avoided making eye contact with anybody.

"So snoop still got yo phone?" Kali asked.

"Girl yes. It's been 3 days and i tried calling him and texting on my iPad but he blocked me. Can't stand him bruh." I said.

"So what? You single?" She asked.

"Is. That weirdo." I said.

"Hey Faye how you doing?" Some lady said coming up to my grandma.

"I'm good. Got my two babies with me." My grandma said smiling.

"Hey miss kali. And minnie, it's so good to see you. We all heard bout what you went through and we prayed for you. I guess God heard our prayers." She said smiling.

I simply smiled and nodded.

My grandma and Kali spoke to a couple more people. They all brought up my situation. I'm ready to go.

"Come on up here y'all." My grandma said.

We followed her and sat on a row that was close to the front.

"Minnie! Why you being rude to these people?" Kali semi whispered.

"I'm not. I smiled and nodded." I said.

"Okay well open yo mouth. That's why you got one." She said.

"Stop talking to me." I said.

"Y'all ain't finna do no fussing in this church now." My grandma said.

"Grandma you got-" i started to say.

"Yes i got it." My grandma said cutting me off.

She dug in her purse and gave me and kali some of them life saver mint candies.

"Gimmie like 5. They good." I said.

"Just get my purse chile." She said handing it to me and Kali.

"We used to tear these things up." Kali said laughing.

"Me, you, and ma." I said laughing.

Everytime we went to church we would raid my grandma purse for em.

The music quieted down and the pastor stood there getting ready to talk.

"Goodmorning. Let's thank God we all woke up and made it here safe today." He said.

"Amen." The congregation said.

"Thank you God. You a real one." Kali said.

"Kaliya." I said chuckling.

The pastor started preaching for a while and then the choir started singing.

"Come onnnn, in the room. Ohhhh, come on in the room. I saidddd Jesus is my doctor, and he writes out all of my scriptions and he give me all of my medicine in the room!"
