Ascension

Chapter 5

-Justice-

You ready to walk across this stage. Hell, yeah no more school! For the summer that is. Yup cause you got that scholarship to Clark Atlanta University and I know damn well Vin and Ti ain't gone let you mess that up. Shut up! It's the truth and you know it. Yeah, I know I said fixing my outfit. I just wish she was here to see me walk. Girl don't sweat that she out there making that money so when she come back she can get yall a phat crib. What! You talking about Tionne right? Naw I am talking about my mama. Ohh I am sorry. I know Ti is doing what she needs to do and I am fine with that.

I just wish my mom could see me. Well she's working on getting herself better so that she be there. Be there for me for how long Chante she has HIV and last time I checked that doesn't equate to time. I know that, and I also know prior to that your mom was a god-fearing woman. God is going to see her through this. Yeah well, It's still not the same. Think of it this way she may miss the high school graduation, but she'll be at the college graduation and then the day you and Tionne get married. Married! Girl bye we are not getting married? You mean to tell me you haven't thought about marring her? Chante, we live in Georgia it's a crime for us just to be together much less married. Marriage between women ain't even legal. So! Yall can have a commitment ceremony. Tionne may like me but marriage that's ridiculous. Never say never. Okay Chante I said laughing a little bit, you ever think about marrying Omar? Hell naw, I love him but he's not husband material. And why not? Really Justice, he's a gang banger with a 10th grade education what is he going to do for me other than give me babies and have me living on section 8 while his ass either in jail or dead. I have a little bit of sense she said fixing her cap in the mirror. Good to hear I said. Justice! You ready we gon be late Cierra said coming into my room. I am ready I said grabbing my cap.

That graduation was the longest thing I'd ever sat through in my whole life. But once they said Class of 92 you are officially done I jumped up and about ran out of that bitch. We done girl! Chante said hugging me! Hell, yeah we are. And what's the first thing we going to do? We both looked at each other. Hell, yeah get that tongue pierced girl!!! But you swear on everything you can't tell Vin, Vannah, Cierra, or Ti! You got my word but uhhh Tionne is definitely gone know. How! When you put that tongue on her. You nasty you know that right. What trust me when you get the little ball put in and then you give her some bomb head she'll know. We haven't done that yet.

Wait Wait hold the fuck up you and her ain't did it yet? No and don't be yelling my business out in the street like that. Justice yall have been together for like what 7 months and yall haven't knocked the boots yet. 1 we've only been officially together 3 weeks and 2 no we haven't. Does she know you're a virgin? Chante! What you are cause she damn sure ain't. And how would you know if she wasn't? Girl look at her she fine as hell. Plus like I've told you before she been with a few people. Been with or they just did shit to her? Only 1 guy that I know of and there's a crazy bitch talking about she had her baby but as you know she damn well don't have a dick. Does she! No she doesn't 1000% female trust. When the time is right we'll take it to that next level. Yeah yall will and when you do that ball is gonna drive her crazy she said laughing. Ugh what am I gonna do with you girl? Nothing cause you love me and I am your best friends. Whatever I said smacking my lips as we made our way through the sea of people looking for their loved ones.

Of course, my family had to be the obnoxious ones with the loud ass bull horns and cow bells. Seriously I said snatching the bull horn from Cierra! What we needed to find you. You could have done a different way. Come on we need to get back to the house. I thought we were going to eat? We are but we got a surprise for you at the house first. Ooo what is it? We gotta get there for you to see it. I couldn't contain my excitement as we drove to the house. I kept asking Cierra what it was but she wouldn't tell me. Ughh please Cici! Nope and we're here now shut up and get out she said cutting off the car. Attitude much I said getting out the car and following her into the house. Are you serious ain't no one here why are you playing with me? Wait she said as the door opened from the back yard. I literally couldn't move its been about 3 years since I last saw her.
