I have to say I was quite surprised to see her standing at the door, I really had lost all hope in her.

"Soo why aren't you at your party", I fill the silence

Indiah sighs, "I've been a bitch"

"You have"

Wondering what made her come to this realisation

"I know I shouldn't have said all that shit to you, it was petty and childish and I didn't realise how much it hurt you until now.... I couldn't even blow out the candles on my own birthday cake because you're supposed to be there, shit you've always been there for the past sixteen years. I can't celebrate my birthday without you Ree" She apologies

I couldn't help but smile a little, "You really couldn't blow out your candles?"

"Bitch no, I started crying"

"You're such a cry baby"

"So are you"

My face softens as she hugs me, "I'm sorry about what I said too", I murmur

"It's ok", She whispers with relief

All I can say is thank God

"My gosh I hate you"

"Shut up. I hate you too, and it was a damn struggle to pick an outfit without your input"

"You look good though, I like this red hair" I compliment

"Thanks, yours looks amazing. Girl I told you to try this style ages ago-

I run my hand through it and she does the same with approval, "I know I know but I was too scared to. I love it though, check out the density-

"Aww how cute you're besties again" Xavier teases whilst leaning on the door frame

"Shut up", We both reply

"You guys gonna start braiding each other's hair now?-

"You know what we just might", I wave him off as I say this

"Finally!", We hear from above

No literally, it came from above us. My sisters are both looking out of Neveah's window, I'm assuming they watched the whole thing. Indiah blows them a kiss before turning back to me, "Alright come on get changed"

"Now?"

"Yeah we still got time left, B's watching the house whilst I'm gone"

"Ok let's go to my room, I have a couple outfits in mind"

My boyfriend smiles a little as we head upstairs

Once I had changed into something nicer I sent mom a quick text to say where I was going, she was really surprised but relieved.

Mama💕: Really??? oh thank God, ok talk to u in a bit

Xavier said he was gonna go meet with his friends because he didn't really wanna be in the house whilst the party was going on which is understandable. Meanwhile Indiah and I headed back over to the house and during the car ride we were having a big catch up.

"I see your mom finally let you pierce your nose"

Dee looks away from the road for a sec, "Yeah it took a lot for me to convince her but I got there in the end"

Aunt Latoya's never really been a fan of face or body piercings, only ears. My mom isn't really too bothered about piercings, she just straight up told me that I wasn't allowed to have my tongue pierced (of any sort). However she did make me take out my back dermals since I got them without her permission.
