The Carter's

The Final Day

Kenyanna's POV:

My party was officially tomorrow. I got the best DJ in town to come, and somebody to do my hair and makeup. I sent out invitations, and even made a poster for Instagram. As soon as I posted it, everybody started reposting it saying it would be the best party in town. I made sure to mention that police and security were going to be strictly enforced. I knew how New Orleans people can get, and what they were capable of. I still had to get my nails done though.

I wanted the venue to be all pink, to support my mother. Everyone had to wear all white, but I understood if everybody didn't. My family and I would wear all black with a splash of white. I would just be wearing all black though. I couldn't wait to see how everything would turn out. I decided to ask Odell to take me to the nail shop later on, that way we can talk more about this blue situation. I went downstairs and everybody was already there.

"Hi family! So as you all know my birthday party is tomorrow night at 8:00. My guests will be wearing all white. But I want you guys to wear all black with a splash a white. Meaning that you to have at least one thing that is white on." They were all looking me. Then they started talking at the same time, well fussing

"I didn't bring anything for this you know!" Lourie screamed.

"YEA KEN! We didn't come here to party. We came to spend time with each other. And you didn't say anything about a party!" Cheryl fussed. I just sighed. Aunt Pat was shaking her head, looking at me.

"Well you know what!? I just thought for once, you guys would be there for me! I asked you to come to my party and dress a certain way because I want things to be organized and pretty. Y'all are my family and I don't care if y'all don't love me, but at least do this one thing for me."

"Ken. You know that we love you. It's just so last minute". Aunt Katherine nodded trying to assure me

"So what!? We'll go to the mall. That way we can bond and get y'all something to wear"

"I think that's a very good idea Kenyanna" pops said then stood up. "We're all going to go to the mall and look for something to wear" this was shocking because pops hated the mall. I wasn't expecting him to say that.

"It was fine with me from the beginning. I was never complaining" Ethan said hopping up. "Let's go bro!" He told Odell. Odell got up and was ready to go.

"So all black with a splash of white?" He looked towards me.

"Yes. And Odell can you take me to the nail shop later?"

"Of course Ken. Anything for the birthday girl" he said while kissing my forehead. Everybody smiled at us. We were finally progressing.

We all left out the house. Ethan was last this time, so he locked the door. He ran to the car and got in.

"You can drive Ken. I'm tired". I got into the drivers seat and pulled off slowly.

"Uhm speed it up. The party is tomorrow, not next month" Odell joked.

"Hahaha. I'm just a very cautious driver. Especially with other people in the car with me. That's all" I said speeding up a little bit.

"Well my baby doesn't appreciate this slowness. She's used to fast driving and almost dying" Ethan said while nodding

"Well your baby just gonna have to deal with it"     The rest of the ride Ethan and Odell were playing music and making snaps. I told Ethan I did not want to be on his snap because I figured Dominic would see it. We finally made it to the mall. I parked in between pops and Cheryl and got out the car fast. Ethan and Odell followed behind me as I walked into the store. I was trying to help everybody find them something to wear, but it would be easy for them to find something cause they could wear anything they wanted and black is an easy color to find also. I walked into the store that Cheryl and Lourie were in.
