Cassie woke up with a terrible headache and her white sheets smudged with makeup. Her mind was over Steez but her heart couldn't forget what Joey said. The words hit home for Cassie. She looked out her window in deep thought.
"Cassie," that voice blared throughout the apartment.
"What," she yelled back.
"It's your sister," Cassie rolled her eyes," I'm only here to visit."
Once Jamila came into the room she was instantly hit by a unpleasant smell. Cassie was still looking out the window. Jamila was looking for the smell. Once she reached Cassie the smell grew unbearable.
"Cassie you smell like death. Your house is a mess and you are staring at a closed curtain window."
Cassie just shrugged.
"How long have you been in the house," she said opening the window.
"Since Friday," Cassie said then shrugged.
"Cassie its Tuesday," Jamila grabbed her sister and took her to the bathroom. She ran Cassie a warm rose scented bath.
"I'm good," Cassie said walking back to her room.
Jamila quickly grabbed Cassie and pushed her back in the bathroom. Cassie tried to fight but eventually gave in. She slowly sat down in the bath. The warm water wrapped her up and helped put her mind at ease.
----
" Cassie," Jamila slightly whispered.
"Yes ?"
"Let's get out tonight," Jamila said taking down Cassie's braids.
"I'm enjoying this bath though," Cassie said with her eyes closed.
"Please Cassie," Cassie looked at Jamila. Jamila rolled her eyes and spoke again," I'm only out here for two days."
"Fine."
"Yes," Jamila Exclaimed walking out of the bathroom.
"But I get to pick where," Cassie said with her eye fixated on the dripping faucet. Jamila sighed knowing her sister was going to pick a boring place.

Joey was stationed at his normal booth at The Café. He ordered his normal shake, with the off the wall burger and small fry. He put the salt and ketchup on his fries and glanced up for a second to see Steez coming towards him.
"Joey you always fucking something up," Joey raised a brow.
"Cassie told me about y'all little dispute," Joey laughed then proceeded to eat his food.
"Everything is a Joke to you," Steez continued frantic.
"Steez you barely know her and your in "Love". Whatever the fuck that means," Steez stood there motionless.
"Plus you got a girl," Joey took a sip from his shake in between words," When were you going to break that news to her ?"
"You think I want her," Steez looked at Joey And Laughed.
"You Don't," Joey said with a hint of happiness.
"No, She is like a sister to me," Steez said trying to contain his laughter.
"She was pissed not at me but you. She was feeling you Joey," Steez just stood there laughing.
"Well if that's true then why were you smiling so hard when you talked about her," Joey asked with more confusion.
"Cause I couldn't grasp how she would like a dog ass nigga like you," Both him and Joey laughed.
"But It's too late now she already talking to the weird nigga O'Ryan."
"I don't care me and Lorraine are going to try and work our relationship out," he shrugged.
Welcome to the stage Jhene With Two New Songs.
She wasn't faced towards the crowd but she still looked exotic with her curly hair and small frame. She was swaying until her time came for her to sing. She Still Didn't Turn Around but Joey didn't care her song told her soul so well.
"Thank you guys for listening that song was Stranger," she turned around to reveal her face," If you like it stick around for my song later."
"It's Cassie," Joey And Steez Said In Unison.
Steez got up and went to greet her with some other girl. They were all laughing until they came to the booth with Joey. Things were so awkward that the waiter eventually stopped checking on them.
"Nice song," Joey said to break the ice.
"Thanks," Cassie looked at him then down.
"Why Jhene as a stage mane," he continued.
"That's my middle name," the girl to the left of Cassie rolled her eyes.
"I'm Joey," Joey said to the girl.
"Jamila," She rolled her eyes then looked at her sister," I'm Going to the bar across the Street call me when your next set is on," Cassie nodded her head.
Once Her sister was gone she went out side to smoke the backwood she was itching to smoke. Steez And Joey followed right behind her. They were all smoking having a good time until the call for her next set.
