"You enjoying ya self?"

Wrapping her arms around my neck Zania pulled me close and smiled up at me. "Yes I love it, thank you." She replied.

Leaning down I kissed her forehead while we continued to sway to the slow song that played throughout the shop. I was happy that she was enjoying herself and the night was going smoothly but the liquor was starting to set inside some people and I just hoped that things would stay peaceful.

"I'm about to get some air for a bit, you gone be good?"

"Yeah go ahead."

Maneuvering through the crowd I finally made it to the front door and stepped out catching the air that hit me in the face. Sitting down on the bottom step of the shop I pulled out my phone and the blunt I had and reached for my lighter in my jacket pocket. People still were passing me trying to get inside the already packed shop and I must admit it was dope that us jawns from Queens and the jawns from the Heights could get together and party with no drama. 

"Aye can I hit?"

Blowing the smoke out my nose I looked around searching for the voice which was hidden by the darkness of the night. As the silhouette figure started to come closer to me it finally sat down next to me where I really got a good look. Relief washed over me at seeing Alexis, and I was happy that his missing act was finally over and he came back to us.

"Where the fuck you been yo?"

"I had to leave for a while, to clear my head."

Taking another long drag I finally passed it to him. "Yeah and while you was doing that ya moms been buggin out, especially Zack. He ain't even himself no more."

He looked over at me with a scowl on his face. "Damn I ain't come back for you to make me feel bad. I know I ain't got long before they come get me that's why I came tonight."

I looked over at him and noticed his clothes were wrinkled, eyes were puffy and red and he looked pale. I felt bad and I hated that he had to go through this because he is like my little brother. I just wished he could of made better decisions so we all wouldn't have to deal with this.

"You need to talk to Zack."

He hung his head low. "He probably don't even want to see me."

"I know he do, you all he been thinking about since you left."

"I guess, I don't want everybody in our business though so imma chill out here for now."

"Aight, imma tell him wassup so he can come out here."

I got up from the step and pulled him up with me before pulling him into a hug. "No matter what happen you know we got you. Stop running from us when we only here to help you bro. I got mad love for you so just know you gone be good.'

He nodded before wiping a tear from off his face before we shook up and I made my way back inside the shop. By this point the shop was damn near packed to capacity and it was a struggle just getting through the crowd. Feeling a tug on my hand I quickly turned around expecting it to be Zania.

"I was wondering where you were at."

"Oh wassup shorty." I nonchalantly said while looking over her short frame to try to spot out Zack.
