We caught up on a lot of shit. A few years worth. It was nice having my siblings around me and seeing them. Queen was taking me to a little cookout that the younger kids were having in the neighbourhood park. I was hoping to bump into a few people.
"I remember here!" I pointed at the sweet shop.
"Remember going there all the time after school?" I grinned.
"I used to hate going into that shop." Queen frowned.
"My one and only sweet shop." I smiled.
"Okay, here it is." She pointed at the park entrance.
Loud music could already be heard. Queen took my hand and we walked through the park, trying to find people.
"Hey, bitch!" One girl gave her a hug.
"Hey, Vera." Queen smiled.
"This is my sister, Jaliyah." She introduced me to her friend.
"Hey, I'm Vera." She stuck her hand out.
"Nice to meet you, Vera.".
"This little cookout is actually better than I had expected." Vera commented.
"I know right." Queen nodded her head.
"Oh. My. Gosh!" Queen's eyes widened.
"Wassup?" I asked.
"Remember Christian?" She turned around and looked at me.
"Who?" I scrunched my face knowing that I knew the name from somewhere.
"Why? Is he here?" I asked getting a little nervous.
"He's right there." Queen pointed.
"Don't point, Queen." I smacked her hand down.
"Who's Christian to you?" Vera asked.
"My ex-boyfriend." I bit down on my lip.
I spotted a tall guy with a huge beard. He still looked like the old Christian. I looked away but my eyes still managed to travel to where he was with a girl and a few guys.
"Can we go? Like home...?" I asked Queen.
"Uh, yeah. Whatever you want." She nodded her head.
I turned around to walk away but was greeted by an old school friend of mine.
"Jaliyah Campbell!" She exclaimed.
"Hey, Erika." I smiled.
"You looking cute and whatever!" She gave me a hug.
