Wash Away the Pain

ONE

I am completely rewriting this book. I will repost the book with the same title but written in a different way later deleting this one.

I've been working on moving away from home ever since I was sixteen and legal to work.

Now, I share a two-bedroom house with my best friend Kelani Britt (aka Lala, Key, Lani, and Kel).

I met my best friend at a birthday party for my cousin when I was two.

She threw a toy car at me, and I beat her ass.

Ever since that day, we have been stuck to each other like melted candy.

Fast Forward...

I was
about to take a shower when I heard my phone buzz.

I rolled my eyes and flopped down on my bed.

I was already exhausted from work and now I need to take a shower and get ready for the crew outing.

I checked my call history and realized it was Kelani trying to call me.

She probably wanted to talk to me about how late I am.

I am always late for everything. No exaggeration.

Call log:

1 missed call
Kelani Britt 😍😘😝

1 missed call
Mom ❤🌎🙄

I picked up the phone and hit the call button.

The phone rang once and Kelani instantly picked up. "Biiiiiiiiitch! Don't you ever evvver miss my phone call again?

It could've been a matter of life and death. I real life could have been dead right now, but anyways where you at?"

There goes my best friend always being extra.

"Hey, you know I be tired after work and me got to take my shower to keep this kitty fresh just in case Mr. Right Tryna slide sometime soon."

She scoffed and sucked her teeth at me as if I were joking.

"Sia, you turn every fine nigga down that try to get at you so what's different now? Anyways boo enough of that. I'm coming in."

Down the hall, I heard keys jingling and turning in the lock of the front door.

Of course, my bestie has a key. I turned around just as Kelani entered the room.

"Sup love, wyd?" She asked me as she jumped onto my California king bed.

"Bout to take this shower. uhm Key please tell me that's not what you wearing to the club."

I looked my bestie all over like who does she think she is dressing Sexy like that?
