No. 99 (Joey Bada$$)

55• Unforgettable

It got late. It's around eight o clock at night. Rocky was loading the car with his and Aunties bags. Vince was there helping, I wanted to help but they told me to stay inside with the girls.

"You okay?" Aliyah asked.

I stared off into space.

"Leslie." Laila said "Leslie!'

I snapped out of it "Huh?"

"Are you okay? You've been so quiet this whole day." Laila said

"I'm fine."

Aliyah told Laila what happened earlier today.

"Shit. I'm sorry, Les. Then you have your Aunty and brother leaving you today."

"Its only a couple of days though right?" Aliyah said

"Yeah, it is. I guess I can chill out you know, but I'm still stuck on what happened with Joey. It happened out of nowhere." I mumbled as I opened a bottle of water for Aliyah.

"Don't even overthink about it." Laila said "I'm sure they figured it out by now."

"Or not. The shit sounded like some serious shit. Like, he could go to jail if they reported Joey." Aliyah said while leaning over the counter like the rest of us.

"I don't even feel like focusing on this. We gonna go to Rocky's apartment when they leave." I said annoyed with everything.

"How does Indigo and TT look like?" Laila asked

"You always tryna find out how someone look!" I rolled my eyes

"Them two hoes look like rectangles." Aliyah said after she took a sip of water.

"Leslie, we're about to leave." Rocky said as he walked through the front door.

"Nooooooooooo!" I whined.

"Yessssssss! Come give me and Vince a hug." Vince was behind him smiling.

"Ew. I'll give you a hug but not Vince."

"Man! Why you do me like this? I just want a short hug or convo. I aint tryna mack on no child." He crossed his arms.

"Whatever. You get a side hug, nigga." Aliyah said as she walked over and gave him a hug.

We all hugged each other but Aliyah was clinging onto Rocky.

He laughed "Aite! You gonna choke me."

Aliyah giggled and got off him. Rocky gave me another hug. "I'm gonna be back on Wednesday but aunty will stay for a week, okay?"

"Okay!"

"Alright! See you guys soon. Promise me that you're gonna oovoo me, Leslie."

"Promise!" I chirped "Make sure you call when you get there."

"Got chu mama. Bye!!!!!" He left and that was it.

Aunty gave me some money ($30) and hugged me goodbye.

"Put on some clothes." I said once they were gone "We're going to Manhattan."

Aliyah and Laila smirked "Going out late, just like the old times."

"Yup. In this city we can do anything. Just about." I said

I need to get my mind off the negative things and just live. All this stress can't be good for me, I have my girls with me. This summer is going to be unforgettable.
