June searched her pocket for her keys and then opened the door to her house and walked in shutting the door behind her.

June went upstairs and went straight to her room and got undressed and took a full body shower. When she got done she went back downstairs.

She laid down on the couch and put the TV on. June's stomach started to growl due to the fact that she hadn't eaten in 3 days. June began to starve herself because she hated her size and began to be depressed.

June saw her phone vibrating. She opened it and saw a text from Joey asking for her to call him. June called him and he answered on the second ring.

"Did you make it home safely?" Joey asked.

"Obviously." June answered with a slight attitude because she was still mad about Joey talking to Vanessa earlier.

" Chill with the attitude the fuck... Ask your people if I can come get you." Joey said.

"My mom's working the late shift so I guess that means I don't have to ask and we both know she dont give a fuck about me anyway." June said.

Joey knew all about June's situation with her mother and her father and how June's mother treated her. He was always there for her when she needed to vent and that's why she liked him so much. She could tell Jo anything and he wouldn't judge her.

" Don't say that June, she cares about you she just has a different way of showing it. And send me the address and I'll be there in a minute." Joey responded.

June texted him the address and hung up the phone and put some joggers and a tee shirt on. June loved dressing like a tomboy. June put a little bit off gloss on her lips and grabbed her purse.

A few minutes later June looked out the window seeing a car pull up. She grabbed her purse and headed outside locking the door behind her. She opened the door to the passenger side of the car and got in and slammed the car door behind her.

"Fuck is wrong with you ?" Joey asked looking dead at June.

" Just drive nigga. " June said bluntly.

" Slam my shit again. " Joey said looking at June.

June just got on her phone ignoring him and he started the car.

As he was driving the car ride was silent and honestly kind of awkward since the last time June saw Joey was when she was in middle school. She wondered how'd he ever get a car before she did. Joey was a year and a half older than she was but he was held back in school because he was a bad kid.

She and Joey used to talk about things like this. She swore that she would have a job and car way before he did.

She was wrong though.

"Where we going ?" June asked breaking the silence.

" Oh yea, I forgot to tell you I got my own place now. " Joey said looking at June smiling.

" You dead ass right now ?" June asked with wide eyes.

"Dead ass. I came and got you so you could check the place out." He replied.

"Nigga how ?" June asked.

"My parents kicked me out after they found out my brother was selling drugs and I was helping him out. So my brother helped me get an apartment. And before you ask, no I'm not still helping him. " Joey said.

"I'm glad you got a new place or whatever but don't do dumb shit like that again. You should've known better Joey. " June replied.

"I know June ... ion need no damn lecture imma grown ass man. " Joey responded.

They pulled up to this large apartment building.
