a'ja🦋.
i walked into locker room and sat my stuff down. basketball keeps my mind off the bad things so im so excited to start practice.
"HEY H***" tip yelled walking in.
"HEY TIP" they yelled.
"hey girl, how are you ??" tip asked hugging me.
"im okay thank you for asking" i said smiling at her.
"ofc i had a dog and ik exactly how you feel. when she died it felt like i lost a person." she said.
"thank you tip" i said and she nodded.
a few seconds later kp walked in followed by jackie. and i have been ignoring her which is probably not the best option but oh well.
"why you been ignoring me ?" she asked.
"because i just wanna take the time for myself" i said.
"okay but i still worry about you baby. like you could lemme know you good" she said.
"well im here ain't i ?? so im fine" i said.
"a'ja i tried to give you the benefit of the doubt but you letting ts come between us again."
"well ykw how about i get something that you love so much and hit it with the front of my mf car and maybe you'll see how it feels".
"ion gaf about how you feel atp. idc if you think im overreacting because h*ll i might be but at the end of the day these my mf feelings. that dog meant a lot to me and yk that" i said.
"baby" she whispered.
"i never said you were overreacting. i understand that you're hurting but you making it seem like i hit him on purpose when i didn't." jackie said calmly.
"i just don't think it's worth ruining our relationship over. like yeah okay be mad at me do wtf you gotta do but you gotta communicate with me baby." she said.
"okay listen" kp said making everyone look at her.
"a'ja we understand cus we know how much ace and duece mean to you. they yo kids fr and they kept you sane. you have every right to be upset and angry thats all apart of the grieving process"
"but jack's right, you still gotta communicate with her love. it's apart of being mature and a relationship! as yall can tell it took us d*** near hating each other for me to learn ts" kp added.
"and jack we know that you didn't mean to kill ace and it was an accident but you could try to understand that a'ja is grieving and that maybe she's just having hard time accepting that he's gone so you raising your voice at her doesn't help the situation right now" kelsey said.
"PREACH KPPP" kb said.
"kb please" queen said laughing.
"we need to get a'ja out the house" syd said making me giggle and shake my head.
once practice started something feels different today making me go harder than usual.
kp passed the ball to jackie who laid it up but i blocked it making the ball go in the bleachers. jackie fell to the floor hard and chelsea and syd came over to me.
"good sh** a'ja" kb yelled. i high fived the team and becky.
"hey ntm" ty said making me laugh and shake my head.
"h*ll yeah" tip said as we did a chest bump.
"you okay jack ?" ac asked her.
"yeah. i think she still mad at me" she said shaking her head.
"now where was this in szn ??" becky asked making me laugh.
"okay now ntm becky" i said.
"and besides my dog was alive in szn" i said making them gasp.
"great thank you baby." she said sarcastically huffing frustratedly.
"mhm" i said rolling my eyes.

"here" she said coming downstairs.
"hey mama" i said.
"hey" she said walking to the kitchen.
"so i got you a gift basket and flowers. ik that losing ace has been hard for you and considering how he died makes it harder".
she nodded and me and i pulled in between my legs.
"im sorry about ace mama. yk i would never hurt him on purpose and i loved him. i really miss him and his little cuddles. i just don't want you thinking that i would ever hurt you or ace like that" i said.
