~Braelyn (B.) Simone~

"Sevyn wake up. We have to be at Remy's house soon." I was trying to get her out of bed for ten minutes now.

"Come on give me five more minutes." She whine turning over.

"No you said that five minutes ago. I have to do your make up to cover those bruises." She grabs a pillow and places it over her face.

"By the time I count to three and you not up I will pour a bucket a water on you. Now try me." I went to go fill our ice bucket up with cold water. I was not playing with her. She's going to keep her promise even if I have to force her hand.

"You wouldn't." She rises glaring at me. This heffa must don't know me if she think I won't.

"One. Two. Th-"

"Ok ok. Damn I'm up." She says getting up. "All a bitch wanted was some rest." She slams the bathroom door.

"Slam it again!" I swear she's a pain in my existence.

As I continue getting dress my phone starts ringing on the nightstand.

"Hello?" I answer.

"Good morning, this is Megan from Dawson's Real Estate. I am returning a call from Ms. Simone.

"Yes this is her."

"I was letting you know that I'm currently looking for apartments and houses that fit your description and price range."

"That's perfect do you think you will have anything by today? We're trying to move asap."

"Yes ma'am. I'll call you when I've found what you're looking for. It shouldn't be a problem since you were very specific in the location and style. I'll just text you the first address when I'm ready."

"Okay thank you ma'am." I said ending the call.

"Who was that?" Sevyn ask coming out the bathroom.

"That was Megan our realtor." I answered.

"What did she say?" Sevyn sits on the bed with a towel wrapped around her beautiful melanin skin.

"She will start looking for houses that will best fit us, by the information I gave her. When she's all set she'll send us the first address to meet her at." I answer. Slipping my legs in to my ripped jeans and buttoning up my white and black plaid shirt.

"Why didn't you just ask your dad. He has the number one Realtor and Home Improvement business in Memphis and now Atlanta." Sevyn ask.

"Because you know what my older sister went through at our age. I refuse to be my parents puppets just so they can help us." I respond.

"Well its 10, so what are we going to do in the meantime?" Sevyn switch topics. She knew I didn't like asking for help. My dad's help always came with an ultimatum. I'll rather figure things out on my own, so no one will throw how I wouldn't have things if it wasn't for them.

"We're going to Remy's place to discuss a job. I wasn't kidding about that promise you made me. You have too much of a beautiful voice to not show it to the world." I told her.

~Remy's Place~

We stood on the porch after ringing the doorbell waiting for someone to open it.

"I'm so excited, I haven't seen your sister in forever." Sevyn squeal with excitement. I give her a side eye, because she was getting a little too excited for my liking.

"Me too. Even though we seen her a month ago."

"It felt longer. You know Remy my girl." She cheerfully replies.

"I mean I could have sworn you are my best friend and not hers." I roll my eyes.

"You know I'm just playing. Can't nobody take your place. You my best friend, if I die you dying with me." She's imitating a meme we saw on instagram.

"Well look who it is." My sister Remy says opening the door with a huge smile on her face. "Dumb and dumber." Sevyn and I side eye each other.

"And you must be dumbest cause you right there in the boat with the rest of us." I say pushing her out the way. We laugh walking into her crib. I head towards the fridge as I always do when I come over.

"What are y'all doing in Atlanta?" She closes the door with a concerning look on her face.

"Nothing we just decided to surprise the family. We came down last night."Sevyn replies, plopping down on the couch.

"Well when are y'all going to make it permanent, I've been missing y'all so much."

"We miss you too sis, and we're here for good this time." I answer making my way on the couch, taking a bite of the cold lunch meat.

"AHHHHHHHH!!!! SHUT THE HELL UP! NO YOUR NOT!" Remy screams at the top of her lungs, jumping on top of us.

Before we knew it Papoose was in the living room out of breath.

"Whats going on?"Her husband appears putting his gun in his back pants. Once he realize it was nothing. Me, Sevyn, and Remy busted out laughing.

"What the fuck you thought you was gone do with that?" Sevyn ask laying on the floor holding her stomach.

"What you mean, you must forgot who I am Sev. I ain't no killer but don't push me." He raps imitating Tupac.

"Y'all better leave my man alone. He came to rescue his baby" She tease going over to him and planting kisses on his lip.

"Whatever man, what the fuck y'all doing here anyway?" He ask sitting on the couch pulling Remy on his lap.

"We can't come see y'all without wanting something?" I ask defensively.

"Sevyn yes. You no. So what's up." He answer.

I look at Sevyn then Remy and lastly Pap contemplating if I should tell them the truth or lie. Either way I had to do it fast.
