CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: LEAVING ATL FOR GOOD?

— LYRIC BRYANT

"Michelle really kicked you out?" Kylie exclaimed in shock. "Oh hell no, I'm about to call her. What did she kick you out for?" Desiree grabbed her house, about to dial her number.

I walked from my house to Kylie's since her house was near mine. I couldn't call because they turned my phone off. I seen their lights were on, and it just went from there.

"Basically.. I've been keeping a lot of secrets, and she found out. And I also found out about my dad been cheating on her with a pregnant -" I cut myself off because I was about to cuss.

"Go head and finish honey." Desiree said. "He cheated on her, and got the girl pregnant. My grandma told me that my mom knew about it which I don't understand why, she could've been left him."

"1. She probably still in love with your father. And 2. Her ass signed a prenup." Desiree stated. "I just don't understand.. She chose him over me. Yeah I may have lied.. just a tad bit. But that was only to protect them. And Kylie I'm so sorry for using you as my alibi - "

"Psh I don't care, I met my future husband." Kylie stuck her tongue out. "You better put your tongue back unless you want it chopped off, don't play with me girl." Desiree pointed at Kylie.

I looked at the time, it was 5:20 AM. I need to go if I really want to leave Atlanta. "You know Lyric, you'll always have a place here. I cannot believe Michelle. I really can't." Desiree implied.

"Thank you Desiree. I really appreciate that but I can't stay here in Atlanta anymore."

Kylie being over dramatic, she spit her drink out. "You're leaving?!" Kylie exclaimed. "You're gonna' mop that up." Desiree told Kylie, referring to the drink that's now on the floor.

"If I make it before Kentrell flight, I am."

"But I don't want you to go.." Kylie muttered looking down, "I can visit you, and you can come see me for my birthday.. Gotta' have permission from your mom first." Her eyes were watery, but she quickly wiped her tears.

"You better." She smiled lowly. She still had tears, "Stop you're gonna' make me cry." I gave her a hug. "I can't help it. I'm just gonna' miss you." Kylie sniffled. "I'm gonna' miss you too." We pulled apart, I looked at Desiree.

"Can you take me to the airport?"

"Ben, you trippin' you really gonna' fly Serena out?" KD asked Ben. "Just for three days. It ain't like she staying with me. She gotta' work and start school." Ben said.

"What about chall'?" KD asked, me and Boomer. "Fuck no." Boomer answered bluntly. I shrugged my shoulders. "Why you say it like that?" KD said laughingly.

"Cause she kept rubbing her feet on my leg last night, scratching me with her long ass toenails. I almost made her sleep on the floor. And then she got mad because I wouldn't cuddle with her." Boomer said, "You gone miss her soon as we land. You did that shit last time." KD said while laughing.

"Nah not this time." Boomer shook his head. We all were at the airport, waiting on our flight. I didn't feel like talking, I just listened to music. I swiped down on my notifications, I didn't see no text or call from Lyric. She normally would text by now.

I told her that I'd call her. I dialed her number, that shit said it's disconnected. How the fuck is it disconnected? I took my headphones off. "One of yall call Lyric, put it on speaker, and see what it says."

It said the same thing. "Ion know her phone never say its disconnected." KD said, I looked at the time, we only had 10 minutes. "I'm bout' ta' go see what's going on. She ain't never did no shit like this." I shook my head and stood up.
