The Aftermath

32🥀

July 1996:
Justine

'I don't want that bitch coming to my birthday if she disrespecting my homegirl' Jennifer spoke out

'Why he call me and not you though?' I asked

'Innit, it's my party but you know Pac even if I said yes or no, he'll bring her anyways' Jennifer said

'His ass shouldn't even have to come, most wanted nigga out there' Faith expressed

'And for you Faith, don't be starting shit with Tupac' Jennifer said

'But it was his fault, he disrespected me, thinking I wasn't going to find out......bald headed nigga, really regret fucking him now' Faith mumbled

'Oh-oh you regret it now but when you were getting your back blown out to piss Biggie, you didn't regret, but now he disses you, that's when you decide to' Mary pointed out

'Damn I ain't no he was gonna do me like that' Faith put her hands in surrender

'Come on....you know Pac, him and Biggie have beef and y'all used to kick it with each other and now your rubbing with his enemy so obvious he gonna blast you' I said trying to defend Pac

'You hang out with Biggie, why he ain't mad at you?' Faith pointed out

'I dunno, you ask him?' I said shrugging my shoulders

'Come on Justine, he hangs out with you more than any of us nowadays....damn him and Cliff went way back and look at them now' Mary stated

'Well....I guess people change' I brushed of

'Nah Justine, you've changed. When since have you ever but Pac before us?.....like I know y'all knew each other before us but damn you ain't kick it with us the way you used to' Jennifer said

'I'm just really busy' I said bluntly

'That's a cute excuse but how dumb do you think we are?' Faith asked getting into my face

'.....well obviously dumb enough to not believe your friend' I eyed her up

'Hmm....you think that's gonna make me feel guilty for what you just said' Faith smiled slyly

'Yet you think I'm the one changing' I pointed out making her go silent as I walked away

'Oh Jesus, please don't start this shit on my birthday' Jennifer complained laughing nervously

'As long as she doesn't say any sly shit, we finna be cool' I looked up at the Faith

'Hmm.....we cool then' Faith said not really sure

'Oh Jesus, we gon have the part two of this Biggie and Tupac shit' Mary laughed causing us all to laugh

'Girl me and Faith ain't dumb to start no dumb shit' I said 'and how many times have I told you I ain't with Pac no mo'e?' I put my hip on my hand

'Girl to Pac you still with him, he might have a girlfriend but that man has loved you since the first day he met you and we all knew but you' Mary stated

'Yep....when that man loves, he loves hard' Jennifer emphasises

And to me, I'm still with Pac.....It's crazy because I never thought I would have this amount of unconditional love towards him. I have to admit, I don't feel upset that he has a girlfriend because she ain't even shit anyways and they gon' break up sooner or later because of her attitude, but I'm upset about the fact that he moved on really quickly. Within two weeks, he already found a new girl. Did I really mean something to Pac or was I just a rebound to get Keisha off his mind?

I continued to get ready as I found myself getting quiet after the whole chat we just had. It might sound weird how I'm the one getting all worked up when I told him I didn't want to be with him anymore, but that was because I didn't want to ruin our friendship. We didn't argue a lot when we were just friends but as soon as we become more than that, we are at each other 24/7, and most of the time the situation wouldn't even be that deep. There would be times where we wouldn't talk to each other for days because of me not wanting to talk to him and I knew it wasn't healthy for us to be doing this.

'Hmm....Girl, who you trying to impress?' Mary gassed me all up

'No one' I giggled as I blushed

'You sure because you looking way better than me at my own birthday' Jennifer checked me

'Girl you the star the tonight....I ain't taking that away from you.' I said to Jennifer

'We all look fly girls.....can't believe my stomach was able to fit in this dress' Faith laughed

'Don't drink nothing at that party Faith' Jennifer told her

'Girl my baby is safe, I ain't gonna jeopardise his health' Faith said

'Mhmm make sure because we all know that yo' ass can get rowdy' Mary laughed

'That's how she got Biggie and Tupac in the bed' I joked

'I don't why y'all laughing because that's they same way y'all got your back blown by Tupac!' Faith laughed referring to me

'Dunno bout y'all but that dick gave me life' Jennifer fantasised

'Girl why you think me and Justine did him twice?' Faith asked smirking

'Girl I did a lot of tricks with him' I side eyes them making me laugh after as they all looked at me shocked

'And I'm the fast one' Faith said looking at me up and down in a joking way as we all laughed
