     I had a grin touching both ends of my cheeks. Chuckii grabbed my phone from my hand and I quickly tried to grab it back. He began to read the messages.

Chuckii: Oh so you think...
Becca: Give me my phone.
Chuckii: *threw Becca phone* SO YOU WANNA BE A HOE AND GO AFTER SOME NIGGA YOU JUST MET?!?

      I ran out the grocery store crying. Chuckii didn't have to talk to me like that. Tiff came after me and I just cried in her arms. I don't know what got into Chuckii but I don't like it and i'm telling mama when we get back to the apartmemt. We headed towards the car as we saw them coming out the store with the cart and bags. Hope looks as if she just yelled at Chuckii in the grocery store. He unlocked the car and i just tried to hurry getting in.

Chuckii: Becca let me...
Becca: There's nothing to talk about. You're the devil.

     I got in the car and just looked dowm because i didn't have a phone. I just started texting him and now i can't even finish. When we got back to the apartment, I didn't help with anything. I just went to the apartment with a angry Hope. Even though we left the grocery a while ago, you can still see the aggravation on her face about the situation. Mama looked at us while shaking her head.

Mama: What happened?
Hope: I'll tell you what happened. Your son is a jerk, and he broke Becca phone over something he could've had a one-on-one conversation with. But, nooooo he caused a scene in the grocery store causing people to record with their phones and shit. Do you know how that makes all of us look? Because they sure as hell caught the part with Becca running out, Tiff running after her, and ne fussing at Chuckii over it. So yes, i'm very upset right now and i don't even feel like cooking anymore. Come on Becca.

      Me and Hope went into her room locking the door behind us. I still can't believe Angel actually did that to my phone. Once he get in the house, he's gonna hear it from mama for real because he doesn't pay my phone bill and he didn't buy my cell phone. As, I sat on the edge of the bed Hope handed me her phone.

Hope: here you can talk to him off of my phone.
Becca: You sure?
Hope: Yeah. I'm about to take a nap anyways. Also, can you keep tabs on my IG too.
Becca: Yes, of course. Thank you so much.

Hope smiled and I pulled the paper out of my pocket. I then texted the number Nasier wrote on the paper.

*text convo*
Me: hey it's me Becca. My brother broke my phone so I'm using his girlfriends phone.
Nasier: ight. U good though?
Me: yeah. I don't understand y he gotta be such a jerk.
Nasier: Don't worry bout it ma. As long as u good I'm good. 💯
Me: awww
Nasier: yeah, but wyd ma?
Me: nun about to watch tv.
Nasier: wats on?
Me: tbh idk
*end of text convo*

       I stopped texting Nasier because there was a knock at Hopes room door.

Becca: who is it?
Chuckii: open the fuckin door.
Mama D: ANGEL COME HERE AND IM NOT GOING TO SAY IT AGAIN.

       I laughed because he is about to get it, as I flipped through the channels Hope phone lit up and I hurried to unlock it. She doesn't have a password on her phone.

*text convo*
Nasier: u should listen to overtime-Bryson tiller
Me: who is that?
Nasier: damn u don't know him. Just listen to him.
Me: ok.
Nasier: text me once u listened
Me: k

            I copied the song name before looking for the YouTube app on Hope's phone. I then paste the song into the search bar. As I listened to the song, Hope woke up.

Hope: that is my song.
Hope: sorry was it to loud?
Hope: you good *laughs*

            Hope lip sang along. Once the song finish, I went straight back to the text convo between me and Nasier.

*text convo*
Me: the song was alright. U should listen to Simple things-Miguel ft Chris Brown
Nasier: that song is lit
Me: u like that song?
Nasier: aye tbh yo boy fucks with Miguel 😂
Me: you're 😝
Nasier: yeah ik 👌😂
Me: good ✅  ✅
Nasier: so wyd?
Me: ... in the room with my brothers girlfriend still.
*end of text convo*

      Hope sat up and I stood of the bed.

Becca: you okay?
Hope: yeah just hungry.
Becca: I can go see if mom cooked.
Hope: please.
Becca: i'll be back.

          I made my way out the room and down the hall to where the kitchen/living room was. Mama looked at me and then pointed to two plates on the stove. I grabbed the plates and two water bottles before heading back to the bedroom. THANK YOU MAMA💯❤️❤️❤️.
