I laughed taking another sip from my drink. I wouldn't say I was drunk but I was fucked up. That's what a whole bottle of Taquila and a few cups of Rose'.

Hey!'she answered the phone laughibg at something in the background.
I thought you was supposed to spend New years day with either what happened?
Umm, I don't know maybe ut had something to do with somebody calling me a hoe.
Really dawg? Ova petty shit.
Petty shit? That shit hurt my fellings especially coming from you.

She sighed.ni took my moms out ta eat. My dad still in that shit, it seem like he gotten crazier. And Joshua took me out ta eat.

-but we came hear with Joshua and a group of his friends.

That nigga yo cousin
Like I said fuck that nigga. Come chill with a real one.
I heard a door shut. I assumed she left the bathroom cause I heard loud music
She laughed. Jj stop playing im on the phone.
Lemme get a kiss first. 'He said
Mann, nigga move.
Not till I get a kiss lah baby.i sucked my teeth.
The line went quiet and it was obvious they was kissing. My heart instantly broke. I finally felt like a glass cup falling from the highest shelf onto the ground. I finnaly felt the hurt that I would feed her. It was like swallowing a cup of milk with shattered glass. The pain was unbearable, but being me and letting my pride guide me I hung up before she coukd even respond. I stood up and went into the kitchen.
Fuck it im single.
I grabbed the halfed filled bottle of Rose I popped it back open and drank it like it was water.
Who ready ta fuck and turn up.' I said in the microphone. All you heard was scream and claps.
Happy New Year Bitches?!'I yelled on the microphone. Everything after that was a blur.
-
I woke up from my phone ringing.
Hey.'Reginae said
Why you calling me 4 in the morning?'I asked sitting up.
Beca-

I just shot my daddy. 'She cried in the phone.

Right here on the floor. The ambulance on its way. I cant go to jail Reggie.'she sobbed
Im on my way. Just stay thea. Ight?
Alright. Can you stay on the phone with me? Please.
Alright ma.'I said locking the botom lock of my brother house door.
The line was silent for a while. All I heard was sniffles. Soon I heard the ambulance truck.
Baby, ima hang up na'. Go talk to them tell'em everything. Ight?
Alright she cried.
Aye Nae.
Hmm?
I love you don't forget that. The line was quiet for a sec.
