Thug-ish (Book 1)

37:The big day

13 months later.... July 2022

Jamiyah

My son giggles as I tickle him. He's getting so big. I can't believe he's already a year old and walking around.

"Don't get him all wild up before the ceremony." Malo says as she walks out of the bathroom. I smile as she fixes her tie. She looks so beautiful and I'm so happy for her.

Last year was hell for everyone and I don't even have memory of most of it, but one thing I do know is that I love Malo. It may not be how it was before, but she's one of my closest friends now and we share a son together. I'm happy that she found love with Crystal.

"Alright, the bride is ready. We're just waiting on you." Leti says as she barges into the room with West and their kids behind her.

P.J. runs inside with his little suit on that matches with West and baby West. Leti and West have officially adopted him now and he calls them mommy and mama.

"C'mon Simena." West says to my little niece.

Leti sighs and rolls her eyes. "That's not her name."

"It's her middle name." West smiles in victory. They've been fighting about this name thing since we left Honduras. West was completely against Stone Violet, but Leti wanted her daughter to have some part of her dad and since Patrick's last name was Stone she wasn't budging on it. Now my niece's name is Stone Simena West. I call her Stoney.

"I guess I'll see y'all during the ceremony." I smile and exit the room.

I head downstairs to the ballroom and take my seat in the second row next to David. I can't believe he's sixteen now. So much has changed. Honduras was traumatic for everyone involved. My father is dead and my mother is in an insane asylum. David was so traumatized that he needed a lot of therapy. Sean finally married Helena and he agreed to let David live with them. Carlos moved to Europe and West's dad found Calvin Jr. He was locked away some where, but now he's even doing good.

Music begins to play and Malo walks down the aisle. I smile at her and she winks at me. She high fives her dad as she passes him and stands at the alter.

Next down the aisle is West and Leti. West was the obvious choice for best man and Leti ended up being the maid of honor because Crystal only has one cousin, which she hates, and then no friends.

Then Malo's brother, Tyrone, comes down the aisle with Crystal's cousin, Nancy. Crystal got the good genes in her family because Nancy is super ugly. She's only twenty three with a million wrinkles and shit. It's bad.

P.J. and baby West walk down with the rings. P.J. is holding them on a pillow and baby West is just waddling beside him. I smile at my sonny wonny and my nephew.

Then Stoney comes walking down the aisle with Nicole, Malo's mom. Stoney falls down and sits on her butt and starts playing with the flower pedals.

Leti facepalms herself and shakes her head at her daughter. I laugh as Nicole just picks Stoney up and finishes putting the flowers down by herself.

Finally, the bride,...one of the brides begins to walk down the aisle. Crystal is squeezing on to her dad, Ethan, for dear life. Those heels are probably too high, but she is killing that dress. It's all lace with a long train.

She kisses her dad's cheek when they reach the end of the aisle. Malo's smile is brighter than I ever recall seeing it. She looks so happy.

The vows are said and everyone awwes as the two lean in for their first kiss as a married couple. As soon as their lips touch something inside of me snaps. It's as if a light in my head has just been turned on. I cringe as Malo and Crystal turn around with wide smiles on their faces.

"This can't be happening." I whisper to myself.

"What?" David wonders.

"Nothing." I shake my head. As soon as Malo and Crystal walk back up the aisle I take off running. I can't be here. This can't be real.

The love of my life has just married some white bitch and it's all my fault.
