The Aftermath

33🥀

July 1996:
Justine

'Hmm Girl I see Tupac with his girl' Mary told me smirking a little bit

Here we go......
I saw Pac and Mary waved him over to where we were. Jesus man, why would she do that?......WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT?

'This gon' be fun' Jennifer laughed as I nudged her

'Yo birthday girl!' Pac shouted 'come give your nigga a hug'

He so loud man, bare people looking....jeez why he o extra?

'.....And Guys, this is the love of my life-'

'Love of my life', nigga you just meet her man, what you in about love of my life?

'-Kidada.....Kidada this Faith, Mary, Jennifer and-'

'She already met me Pac' I said bluntly as I gave her a mugged look as he looked at me strangely

'Ohh, must be that time of month' Kidada said as she smiled slyly making me plastering a fake smile on mine so I can hide my anger

This bitch lucky I'm all dressed and I haven't go the time to waste my energy on her. She can make all the smart remarks she wants with me but she gon be sorry when she don't have Tupac around her.

'Well.....it's nice....nice to meet you Kitty' Mary said as she pronounced her name wrong making her smile forcefully as I try to hold back the laughter

'It's KIDADA Mary!' Jennifer's eyes went wide open

'Oh sorry.....I didn't mean to pronounce your name wrong' Mary apologised as she gave me a sneaky look

'Hmm....Aight.....' Kidada trailed of

'Anyone tries to bring my girl down, Imma bring they ass down' Mary whispered of into my ear as I giggled making Pac look up in a weird look

I walked of afterwards to and get a drink as I was feeling thirsty. Tupac's eyes were still fixated onto me but it seemed like he was mad at me or something as I felt the tension rise. I just ignored him and went of but not that far as I felt a hand around my wrist and I knew who the fuck it was.

'What man, you ain't see I'm thirsty?' I whined eager to remove his grip of me

'Cut the bullshit!' He looked me in the eye as he got real close 'Why you gotta start shit?'

'Start shit?.....Start shit?.....' I said out of confusion as I removed myself from him about to a turn but pulls me into him causing me to groan a little 'your girl the one starting shit, always got an attitude around me like I'm some threat or shit.....please check your girl before you check me'

'You said you would be nice and here you are running your mouth being petty and shit.....got Mary doing that shit too'

'I ain't tell Mary to do that.....she just being what a bestfriend should do.....I like you, you wanna defend a girl you've known for like two weeks instead of a girl you've known for nearly your whole life.' I rubbed to in his face 'see any women you meet and start to disrespect me, you cut them off but now you got this no good bitch up in here trying to walk all over me.'

'I ain't my fault the bitch won't listen to me is it, she wanna be running her mouth and shit.....' he said

'That's the first time in forever a girl don't listen to you.....Hmm now we see who really wears the pants in the relationship' I said slyly causing him to give me a mugged look '......talking bout relationships, I see your tired ass girlfriend coming our way, better go before she thinks your cheating on me again'

I heard him call after my name as I walked of but I ignored him. How does he have the balls to be coming up to me and tell me to stop disrespecting his girl, please it's called Defending yourself, like do I look like the average girl to stand there and take whatever kind of anger she has towards me? I don't like the fact he putting new people before his main people first.

Just as I thought the night could get any better, WHAT THE HELL IS DEVANTE DOING HERE?

I scurried of, forgetting about the drinks and looked for Jennifer. I literally looked like a mad man. It looked like I was looking for a person that just escaped from prison. I was asking everyone at the party if they saw any of my friends.....especially Jennifer.

'Girl what's wrong with you?' Faith asked as I rushed into her arms

'DeVante is here' I said

'DeVante - how the hell did he get in here? Jennifer wouldn't have-'

'Jennifer wouldn't have said what?' Jennifer said frightening both of us

'You know DeVante's here, right' I looked her into her eyes

'Ohh....about that....I had to invite him because I didn't want to just invite Dalvin, K-Ci and Jojo and not him'

'But Jennifer!' I blurted out

'I didn't think he was gonna show up because he don't really go out....but you know'

'You wouldn't like if if someone invite your ex to a party' I said in defence

'Girl why you tripping anyways, he's probably moved on and so have you - have you?' Jennifer asked furrowing her eyebrows as I went quiet

I kept on looking back and forth at DeVante in the crowd and then Faith and Jennifer. I didn't know what to say because I wasn't sure I'm having a phase, having mixed emotions or I really do miss him.
