"Man, don't worry about shit, don't stress about shit, don't think about shit. It's my birthday I just wanna be lit and happy all night." Tron warned the car as he sped down the highway pulling on a blunt.

We had the blunt in rotation with Lil Durk blasting in the car at 1:00 AM. We just left a night lounge and are on the way to another one high and drunk already. "Man, Happy birthday bro. With yo' old ass." Omar joked mushing Tron's head. "Yeah, happy birthday. T." Bryan added.

Tron pulled at the fat blunt I passed to him, "Yeah, nigga. You right I need some fun it's been too much shit going down with me lately."

"Yeah, we know. You taking care of damn near everybody. You need some time to chill." Tron said passing me the bottle of Don Julio.

The whole shit with Emilio, Time's family drama, all the shit I got to take care of with my bills, Time's bills, taking care of Presley and Francesca since she is out of a job right now, and helping my mama.

My mind felt too cluttered with responsibilities. I needed a break.

I took a swig of the bottle of Don Julio and allowed myself to let go, laugh, smoke, and vibe with my niggas.

We pulled up to the second club, taking no time to get comfortable in our section, which was filled with people: Omar, his girl Akira, her friends, Tron and Annika, Jason, Bryan, they girls, and all they girls' friends. The section was packed. We spent about forty-five minutes just chilling and drinking. I couldn't even keep up with everyone who was with us at this club. It was a mixture of random people, honestly.

But I quickly got hip when I spotted Miracle and another girl twerking to "Outside" by Beat King on Omar's girl Akira as she recorded them laughing.

I smacked my teeth, what the fuck was she doing here?

I knew I was cross-faded and seeing double, but I didn't think I was hallucinating. That was definitely Miracle in our section.

I eyed her wide smiling as she bent over grinding on her friends. She had on a short green dress that was tied around her neck but low on her chest showing everything but her nipples. Her black hair was long and curly and sat right at the tip of her fat ass.

She was looking dangerous tonight. And as horny as I was I knew I had to get away from her.

Me and my homeboys were standing near the wall making space for all the females that were with us. Tron and Annika disappeared somewhere a little minute ago and I looked over at Omar who was looking at me, looking at Miracle.

"You good?" He asked tapping my shoulder and holding his cup of Tequila. I wanted to ask him how Akira knew Miracle but decided against it.

He didn't need another reason to think I was the worse nigga for Time, even though I shouldn't give a fuck what he thinks.

"I'm good, I gotta go, bro," I told him... If I stayed in this club, something was going to go down with Miracle. It's bad enough she lives a couple of doors down from me, as deprived as I was, I didn't need my dick thinking for me tonight. Not tonight.

I needed to get the hell away from her right now. Usually, when I'm drunk like this I got somebody I can call on to fuck. Even though I'm single and I have every right to do that I wasn't trying to make anything complicated especially not while Annika was here.

That pass Time gave me to sleep with other people wasn't on my mind right now, It still felt like I was betraying her. I dapped the guys up and took one last at Miracle as we locked eyes before squeezing through the girls out of the section.
