Chapter 1

Zola

"Zola Where The Fuck Are You?!" My Best Friend Yelled As Soon As I Answered My Phone.

"Relax, I'm On My Way Home." I Tell Her As I Open My Trunk And Transfer The Groceries From The Cart.

"Bitch I'm Hearing Shit, Hurry Up."

I Roll My Eyes As I Struggle To Keep My Phone Between My Ear And Shoulder. "Fine, Scary Ass." I Said Before Hanging Up.

For As Long As I've Known Tiffany, Which Is Since We Were Sixteen, She Has Been Scared Of Everything. There Is Nothing That Won't Scare This Girl.

I Closed My Trunk And Moved The Cart In Its Designated Area Before Getting In My Black 2015 Ford Fusion. Once I Got In I Turned My Music On Via Bluetooth And Went To My Favorite Song, Savages By Young Pappy.

When I Pulled Up, I Called Tiffany To Come And Help Me. In A Matter Of Seconds She Came Running Out Of The House. I Looked At Her As If She Was A Mental Patient. She Is Such A Big Baby But I Guess She Has Her Reasons. Tiffany Hasn't Had It Easy.

As I Came Back Out To Get More Groceries I Felt As If Someone Was Watching Me. The Night Time Darkness Didn't Make Me Feel Any Better Either. I Looked Around.

"What's Wrong?" Tiffany Said Scaring Me.

I Turned To Her Then Looked At The Automatic Compound Gate Securing My Driveway And House.

"Uh Nothing. Let's Just Go In."

We Grabbed The Rest Of The Groceries And Went In. I Took My Jacket Off And Put It On The Wall Hook By The Door. I Went Into The Kitchen And Began Putting The Stuff Away. Tiffany Came Back Downstairs And Into the Kitchen To Help.

"I Heard Something Knock On My Wall Earlier." She Said As I Put The Lunch Meat In The Refrigerator.

"The Wall Tiff?" I Said Not Believing Her Nonsense.

"Yes Bitch The Wall!"

"Aight One, I Got Yo Bitch, Bitch, Two, Ain't Nobody Knocking On Yo Wall. We Sleep Upstairs."

"Zola, I'm Not Crazy. I Know What I Heard. Damn Near Fell Off My Bed When I Heard It."

"I'm Done With This Conversation."

Her Neck Snapped Back. "Yeah Okay, When Something Come Knocking On Yo Wall You Gone Be Looking." She Said Before Walking Out Of The Kitchen Again And Going Upstairs.

Again I Felt As If Someone Was Watching Me. I Looked Out The Window Above The Sink That Showed Into The Backyard. I Stared Out The Window For A Minute. I Got Chills And Quickly Closed The Blinds.

When I Finally Made It Into My Room I Plopped Down On The Bed. Another Day Of Work Has Me Tired.

My Name Is Zola Jennings. I'm 22 Years Old And I'm A Party Planner. My Business Is Called Jennings's Planning Heaven. Yes I Know It's Kind Of A Long Name But I Love It. My Dad Pays For Everything. He Insist, Even Though I Tried To Get Him To Let Me Do It On My Own. I've Been Doing This Since I Was 17. Tiffany's Birthday Is The First Thing I've Ever Planned. Ever Since Then I've Fallen In Love With It.

I'm Brown Skinned, 5'2 With Voluptuous Curves. I'm A 30D In Breast And Very Thin Around The Waist. I Am Absolutely In Love With My Hair Which is About 20 Inches And Black. I Have 5 Brothers. Kelvin Jr, Who We Call Kj Is 27, Then There Is Kajhon Who Is 25. Jay Jay Is My Twin Brother So We're Both 22 And Last Are Michael Who Is 19 And David Is 18. David Has A Different Mom.

I Love My Brothers Even Though They Can Be Very Annoying And Protective.
Me And Kj Get Along The Most. Growing Up Kj Was The One I Ran To For Everything. He Beat Up Other Kids For Me, Always Shared His Money With Me, Took Me Everywhere He Went. To Him, I'm Princess.

Kajhon Is Very Quiet And He Always Has Been. For A Long Time I Knew Nothing About Him. It Was Always Strange, Being In The House With Someone That Shares Your Blood But Doesn't Speak To You. He's Like That With All Of Us Though.

Jay Jay Is A Fool, Goofy As You Can Get. He's Always Been A Jokester. When In School He Got Suspended For Stupid Stuff All The Time. He's That Funny Sidekick You See In The Movies.

Michael Is Also Quiet. Not As Quiet As Kajhon Though. Michael Likes To Draw. That's Literally All He Seems To Do. He Still Lives With Our Dad But Is Planning To Move Out Soon. Michael Can Tend To Have No Chill But That Goes For Kj And David Too.

David Is The Trouble Child. He Gets In A Lot Of Trouble. He Has Anger Issues And Sometimes Its A Pain In The Ass. He Has A Different Mother Than The Rest Of Us. Soon As Our Parents Split Our Dad Got Another Woman Pregnant. But Our Mother Also Has A 16 Year Old Daughter By Her Husband.

Me, I'm Basically Your Good Girl. Responsible, Average Smart. Trying To Be Independent But That's Hard When Your Father Just HAS To Do Everything For You. Single And Surprisingly Still Virgin.

For Most That's Hard To Believe. Everyone Tells Me 'But You're So Pretty.' That Has Nothing To Do With It. From 6-11th Grade I Was Super Chunky. No Dude Was Into Me, They Wouldn't Even Look My Way. The Friends I Had Then Were All Skinny Or A Little Curvy And Got All The Attention. Before Junior Year Ended I Started Working Out. By Time 12th Grade Started I Had Lost Some Weight And Guys Were Trying To Get My Attention. None Of Them Were What I Wanted Though. They Just Wanted Sex But I Wanted More. I've Legitimately Only Had 2 Relationships And Each Got They Ass Beat By Kj And Kajhon. That's Another Story Though.

When I Looked At My Clock It Was 10 Pm. I Changed IntonSome Pajamas And Climbed Into Bed.
