Last Chance (Completed)

17. Mink

"Mink, I can't." Kennedy busted in my room sobbing. I quickly leaned up pausing my Netflix movie.

"What's wrong?" I questioned as she fell into my embrace. "You were right," she took a deep breath as she continued sobbing. "He played me right in front of her. Acted like I meant nothing."

I just held her as I rubbed her back. "I'm sorry baby" I whispered. None of this was surprising to me though. I'd been telling her from jump it wasn't what she thought it was. We sat there as I held her just letting her cry into my arms. After a while she calmed down, "I'm so stupid," she stated as she shook her head and used her hands to wipe her face. "I just wanted to believe he was better than that."

I sighed "girl we all do, we always want to believe some of these niggas are better than they actually are. But sometimes we just ignore the most obvious signs. But don't stress that nigga, look at you," I pushed her hair off her shoulders. "You're pretty as hell, you know how many niggas would love to have a chance to do right by you?"

She laughed as she sniffed. She came in wrapping her arms around my waist as we sat side by side on the bed. "You're such a good friend," she let out as she rested her head on my shoulder. "I'm sorry," she said lowly.

"For?" I questioned with confusion.

"For befriending Kira when you made it clear you didn't like her, that bitch is fake. You were right about her."

I rolled my eyes, "oh she was there huh?"

She nodded her head, "Mink, forreal. I'm sorry."

"Kennedy, you a grown ass woman. If you want to befriend snakes you can do that. You don't have to apologize to me for that. That's you dealing with them. But I accept your apology for trying to have that bitch around me." Truth be told I didn't give a fuck about Kennedy being friends with her, it was a problem when she tried to make us all be cool. She was going to learn her lesson. That I knew.

She laughed as she leaned up looking at me, her eyes red and puffy from all the crying. "Girl's night? Please, just us two."

"Look at you, trying to do all this sucking up to me." I smiled as she rolled her eyes. "But yeah, I know you need the distraction."

She smiled as she got up, "well I'm going to go get comfy, find a good movie." She walked out as I stood up doing a light stretch as I checked the time. 7:14pm. I walked to the living room turning on the TV as I brought up the firestick, it was jail broken so the new movies that were out were on it too. I scrolled trying to see if there was anything out that looked interesting as a knock came through on the door.

I got up going to the door as Kennedy exited her room going to the kitchen. "Do you think I should drink? Or do you think that will get me in my feelings more?"

I stopped walking as I thought on it, "Umm, I don't know. At first it'll make you feel good and have you like fuck that nigga, but you know it always ends in crying and trying to contact a nigga so maybe not."

"Ooo, what about edibles? Getting high doesn't make me feel like that."

I laughed as I continued to the door, "you've been high all of two times."

The knock came through on the door again as she responded, "so! I need something," she laughed.

I opened the door as Kira stood there with Jodie behind her looking like this was the last place he wanted to be, a look of confusion and annoyance crossed my face. I knew Kennedy wasn't fucking with her so she had no reason to be here. But then again she was probably trying to apologize.

"I didn't know you would be here," she stated as she looked me up and down.

"Bitch I live here," I turned around walking back towards the living room as the two of them entered. I threw Kennedy a look as she looked at who was coming in, instantly rolling her eyes as she crossed her arms.
