I'm tired so there may be a lot of errors and it was kinda rushed.

Natasha

"Sky it's me. I was calling because Amir and Rome left town for a few days and I was wondering if you wanted to have a girls night out? Just the two of us, like old times? Sky, I'm sorry. I don't want this to break up our friendship. We're sisters. Think about it? Call me back when you get this."

I tossed my phone on the couch beside me then flipped through the many channels that Time Warner over charged me for.

"lf you don't like working for Luther's Janitorial...why don't you just take your broke ass home? Otherwise, shut the fuck up and get back to work!"

"You one cold-hearted motherfucker, Luther." Cleo said.

"Get back to work!"

I shook my head back and forth while watching the movie Set It Off. "Luther ain't shìt. That's why Tete murked his no good ass." I said out loud.

I sat through the whole movie, laughing and crying on certain parts.

I spent another thirty minutes watching TV then I began dozing off until my phone rang.

"Sky!?" I picked up.

"No this ain't Sky. You had her in my house?"

"No Rome and this is my house too."

"The house is in my name so it's mines."

"We pay half on everything so its our house. Where's Amir?"

"He sleep. I was calling to let you know we landed and made it to Mama's crib."

"Tell her I said hey."

"Natasha said Hey."

"Hey baby!" I heard her yell.

"Aite well Amir will call you tomorrow or something when he wake up."

"Ok I love-"

My phone beeped indicating that he had just hung up.

I sat my phone down then went into the refrigerator, grabbing a bottle of wine. After I got it open I didn't bother pouring it in a glass. I drank straight from the bottle; being that this may be my last drink for a while.

I was so stressed out that I was taking shit that I normally wouldn't take from anybody. All of my issues with Rome, August and Sky were really taking a toll on me. And on top of that my breast have been really sore and my cycle is about eight days late.

"What am I going to do to fix all of this?" I thought. I closed my eyes, hoping it would better help me to concentrate and come up with a solution.

"I want her dead." Sky's voice replayed in my head.

I turned the bottle up again, taking multiple gulps before placing the wine back in the refrigerator.

"If that's what she wants. I guess that's a start." I mumbled before making my way to my safe to tend to my old habits.

"So y'all made it official?" Cash took a pull from the blunt befo' passing it to me.
