"shes not answering."

"see tasia, this is why you need to stop being so quick to let people into your life. focus on your career and your happiness."

"my happiness is gone. i dont even know if theyre coming back."

"that woman wasnt your happiness if youre sitting here crying your mascara off over her, and she's out somewhere doing. God knows what. she was another lesson."

"you dont know her or her story, so stop trying to make her out to be someone she isn't."

"you attract bums for some odd reason."

"i guess were just alike then."

"excuse me?"

"i said were just alike."

"and whatever do you mean?"

"so dad was this perfect guy–even after he took everything from me and tried to come after my company, you still chose his side. when he died, you all of a sudden had so much love for me. so you tell me who's really money hungry, mom?"

"i dont need a damn thing from you, fantasia. i make my own money–"

"no, you have the millions daddy took from me. you've never worked a day in your life unless you were being a servant for that bum you called a man." before i knew it, her hand went across my face. shes never laid a hand on me before, the shock expression on her face said it all– she made the biggest mistake of her life.

"get out of my house and dont ever fucking come back."

"no...problem! we'll be out of here first thing tomorrow morning."

"good!" i slammed my door and threw myself on the bed. i screamed into my pillow like a big ass kid. i have to get out of this house before i do something insane.

"hey, wheres tab?"

"she stepped out for a few. can i leave a message?"

"no its fine. ill call her."

i went into my office closing the door behind me and dialing tabs number. she didnt answer the first time, but the second time she did.

"hey tasia, what's up?"

"hey, where you at?"

"um...– out, do you need anything?"

"tabi, come on! i thought we were gonna play." i heard laila yell.

"we will in a second ladybug."

"are you with taraji right now?"

she sighed, "no, im babysitting laila while taraji is at her job interview."

"wait, what? when was this?"

"um, today?"

"where are you?"

"my house."

"im on my way."

"oh shes gonna kill me."

"oh well. should've kept laila quiet. see yall in a few." i was smiling from ear to ear. i havent seen her nor laila in a week.

ᴛᴀʙ'ꜱ ʜᴏᴜꜱᴇ,

i shot a bird in the ring camera right before she swung the door open.

"TAI TAI!" laila ran passed tab and jumped on me.
