None of my friends know how to text back🙂. Or maybe they just hate me💀, but what's y'all kiks? We could be in a groupchat or some shit. (No crazy folks, please) -
Kejuan
Neil looked back and forth between Bryson and I.
"You look tense. You been working out?" Bryson questioned.
"Tuh"
"If you talking about that tweet from when I was nineteen, then it's not my fault"
"Not even what I'm talking about, but explain"
"They said I was a homophobe for saying gay, but if I had called him straight, then I would be called a homophobe too for refusing to accept other sexualities. They love to make something out of nothing, plus he was talking about my dick with a female so no, I'm not ready to talk to him"
Neil put his phone down on the table, and slid it in our direction.
Bryson picked up the phone, and scanned over it before giving it back.
"Hell nah"
Neil slid the phone at me, and I picked it up, not knowing what to expect.
'The Real Parents of Bryson Tiller's Daughter Harley'
I slid the phone back too. "Okay"
I looked back at Keshawn playing with Harley on the floor before turning to look at Neil.
"What happened?"
I shrugged. "What you mean?"
"She on the other side of America with her other babydaddy. Something happened"
"I can't tell y'all. Something personal"
"Well something gotta happen, cause people think they got the 'Bryson exposé' now"
"A bunch of nosy muh'fuckas that need to get in their place"
"Swan, call Sianna"
"She's done with me" I shook my head. "Haven't spoken in weeks"
-
Sianna
"Wake up so I can tell you how uncomfortable I slept"
I opened my eyes. "You could have woken me up when you got uncomfortable"
I moved my knee away from his stomach.
"It was either that or listen to you freak out in the other room"
"You're too kind" I sat up, and went into his bathroom.
"You know you bit my arm at 5:12am"
"No I didn't"
"I still got the marks that'll match up with your teeth"
"I'm sorry. I was having a bad dream"
I was originally in the other room, but was constantly reimagining my situation with Kejuan.
I couldn't sleep alone, so I ended up sharing a bed with Anthony.
"You know my sister had a baby?"
"Awww. When? What's the gender?"
"Niece. Three months ago"
"What's her name?"
"Leia. I told you cause I told her I was gonna see her last week"
-
"Oh, she's so pretty" I smiled at her.
She smiled back at me like she knew she was the shit.

"I want one of you- but not now though. Definitely not now. Oh, Keshawn would love a baby"
"Call yo nigga"
I got out my phone, and called Bryson.
"You throwin' dirt on my old name" He said.
"Sorry, I saw. Could you give the phone to Keshawn and Harley?"
"I got a celebrity status, but to you I'm just a messenger"
"I threw a mug at your face, once. That's pretty special"
"Imma sue you for emotional trauma"
Keshawn and Harley appeared on the screen.
"Hi, Hi" I said, and smiled at them.
Leia grabbed onto my lip, and I pulled back.
Her eyes crossed, and she reached for me again. "Tah"
"Mommy, I miss you. You come back soon?" Harley questioned.
"Yes, I'll be back" I nodded my head.
"Mommy, my attitude change cause you not here. Come back now" Keshawn said.
"Shawny, I'll be back as soon as I can, promise. How are you Harley?"
"I got punished for being sad. I want to stay with you now" Harley said.
"What did you say?"
"I said I want to know my real daddy, and hurt daddy's feelings. I apologize, but he not happy with me"
Anthony started walking towards the phone, but I pushed him back.
"I can't say wassup?" He questioned "Wassup, Harley"
"Ah ahhh e" Leia imitated him to the best of her ability before gurgling and laughing.
"Who that?" Keshawn questioned.
"Nobody, sorry. I'm in a crowded place"
"Lying, just lying. It's just the three of us" Anthony shook his head.
"E dee dee dee" She scratched at her shirt.
"You in a kitchen, mommy" Keshawn squinted in the phone.
"Yes, but it's crowded"
"You gone cause daddy made you cry? I sorry, but you come back. Daddy not happy either"
"I - I gotta go now" I spoke softly. "Tell Harley that I love her. I love you, baby"
"I love you too, mommy" He pouted.
The phone shuffled, and Kejuan's face appeared on the screen. "Si, could we-"
I hung up the phone, and sat it on the table.
"I can't do it"
Leia picked it up, but it fell back into my lap.
"Imma give you some more time, but you talking to him soon"
