Braelynn: Riley...?

He looked at me and smiled some, wiping his hands on his jeans.

Riley: can we talk?

Braelynn: Sure.

I closed the door behind me and sat down on the stairs. I looked around then grabbed a pre rolled blunt and lit it. I inhaled deeply because God knows I'm going to need this.

Riley: I'm sorry Braelynn. I want a chance to make things right and I want you.

I chuckled and shook my head at him, inhaling the blunt again.

Braelynn: You know what? no, fuck you! take responsibility for what the fuck you do, take responsibility! Cause I didn't do shit to you! I didn't do nothing but fucking love you, that's all I gave you! I fucking loved you, I gave you all of me! Every fucking bit of me! Told me if nobody was there you'd be there for me. Talkin bout if I lived for you then you'd die for me but I see that shit was wrong. Damn, can't believe you lied to me, you was nothing like you'd said you'd be!

At this point the tears were uncontrollable. I hadn't cried about this situation since I found out but here I was, breaking down even more. I shook my head and got up, walking back inside, locking the door.

I walked to the bathroom and closed the door and just let everything out. I was hurt and I couldn't hold it in anymore, I just didn't want anyone's sympathy.

Leilani.

I saw Braelynn walk inside crying but I knew how my sister was and I knew she'd be okay. I don't know what happened but I'm sure she'll tell me sooner or later. I looked at Ariana and she looked confused and I just shook my head.

Dre: TT Otay?

I chuckled at him cause he was so smart and caring to be so young.

Leilani: yeah auntie Brae is okay baby, she okay.

He nodded and climbed in my lap, hugging me and patting my back softly. I smiled and hugged him back, kissing his cheek.

Ariana: Well this didn't go as planned.. I wanted tonight to be fun, you know?

Leilani; yeah and it will be. Just give her a minute and she'll come around.

My phone dinged and I grabbed it, seeing a text from an unknown number. I unlocked my phone and went to the message reading it. I scrunched my face up as I read it and my blood started to boil instantly.

I sat Dre down and walked to the bathroom and knocked on the door, nonstop.

Braelynn; come in

I walked in and sat on the counter and looked at Brae.

Leilani: you good?

Braelynn: yeah I'm good, whats up?

Leilani: So I just got a text from mom and Keith. The shit is foul woe, listen to this, it says "Hey Leilani, it's your mom and Keith. Remember us? Well we remember you for sure. Just wanted to let you know that we have a court date coming up soon and the police are looking for you. I have reported you for terroristic threats, aggravated assault, battery and possession of illegal drugs. Don't think we forgot about your sister because they're after her too. Let her know that she's wanted for destruction of property, trespassing, theft, possession of marijuana, possession of an unregistered weapon and assault. I would let her know but she has my number blocked. Just know CPS has been called and you're under investigation. Love always, mom and Keith."

Braelynn: yo what the fuck!? we didn't do any of that shit and the destruction of property has already been handled along with the assault charges. That happened 2 years ago, why is she just now sayin sumn?! Then she gon call CPS? Nah fuck dat woe, now I'm going fa' ha' head.

Leilani: don't even Braelynn. If you go do something stupid then you will go to jail and she'll have a case for sure. We are innocent but you go do some dumb shit and we are going down instantly.

Braelynn; you not involved but dis broad is crazy and I'm bout to run up on that bitch. Fuck the Feds and police, ain't nobody touchin me.

Without another word she left the house together. This was some crazy shit and now I gotta go handle it.
