STAY HIGH | Zion Kuwonu

𝔗𝔚𝔒✔️

I took one last look at my outfit and took a picture.

I left my hair in its naturally poofy waves and put my chapstick, charger, headphones in one pocket and my blunts, eye drops, mini perfume and a lighter in my other pocket.

I sprits perfume on myself  and walked to the kitchen to see me mom putting groceries and my sister rambling on about the concert. And once she sees me she perks up.

"Ready to go Gelly?!" She smiles hard at me.

"Uhhhh yea." I tell her, mentally going over a checklist in my head.

"Here Mija" my mom tells me, handing me $40. "For gas."

"Thanks mama" I kiss her cheek and my sister did the same and we both left the house.

-

"I see you been tryna make- something outta nothing!!" My sister belts throughout the whole car making me want to gag, I don't need to hear this right now. She sounds like a hyena.

I reach over and turn the music down.

"So when does this concert end?" I ask her and pull a quick right turn around the block

"Well we have to be there at 5 but the gates open at 5:30 and the concert ends at 7." She tells me all the details and counts off her fingers, nodding to herself.

"Ok well then-"

"Your destination is in 500 ft." Google maps interrupted me. My sister did a happy dance in her seat, which consisted of the woah and the milly rock.

I pull into the parking structure at the end of the road and we start walking down to the venue. The security guards scan out tickets and let us though to an open area that was already packed with over a hundred girls talking loudly and excitedly for the singers to show up.

"Letty!!!" I hear someone call my sisters name in the direction of the crowd

"Erica ?!" She yells back. They run to each other and dramatically jump into each others arms.

They start talking to each other hysterically and almost start crying until my sister finally remembered I was there.

"Oh Erica this is my sister Angel, I call her Gelly but don't call her that." My sister told her strictly. Only Letty can call me that.

I nod my head politely with my lips tightened to somewhat of a smile at her and she shyly smiles back with a mini wave.

Some people tend to know who I am when I didn't even know they existed and I think she knew who I was by the way she looked at me nervously.

Some people know me because Im from Los Diablos, a Mexican gang in west LA Me and my not-so-blood-sister Linda. We were practically born together, joined the gang together, and are constantly attached.

The lights dim down and loud screams erupt and I rush to crouch down, the loud noise making me jumpy.

"ANGEL ANGEL ITS STARTING!!" My sister yells, shaking my shoulder aggressively.

I nod my head even though she can't see me and subconsciously reach for my blunt pack. I really wanted to smoke. I've been waiting all morning. It's not like I'm addicted it's just I like to be high. Period.

"If I pulled you closer would you mind.."

I pulled my blunt out of my pocket and stick it behind my ear not giving a fuck who saw it.

"Would you mind, would you mind..."

The voices were harmonizing and the screams were getting louder but the lights haven't turned on yet. I turned to Letty, my sister, and she was jumping and screaming with the other girl. Damn I already forgot her name. Elle? Ellie?

"I'm gunna head to the gas station to buy some snacks for later okay? Don't leave the venue!" I yell to Letty over the screaming and music. She turns to me and nods her head energetically before snapping it back to the stage.

I spin on my heels and begin waking out to which I see a bright light flash behind me. I turn my head really quick and see 5 guys on stage and I look at my sister to see her dancing with them and I look away and keep walking.
