~Flashback~

Paige.
"So what's everyone's plans for tonight?" I asked my siblings, "You know since mom is still celebrating her birthday."

"Mom specifically said stay in the house," Keith said.

"That doesn't mean we're going to though," I said.

"You're right about that because I'm going to a college party," he said.

"I'm going to Normani's house to do STEM stuff," Halle said.

"Well I'm going to a kickback," Chloe chimed in.

"That's crazy, me too!"

Chloe rolled her eyes, "You're so annoying."

"Likewise baby girl," I smiled before heading upstairs to get dressed.

Once I was showered and dressed I waited for Shay, since she was my ride.

"Hey Shay and Ayden," I said getting in the car.

They both said hey.

"You don't see Tiana?" Shay asked.

I glanced at Tiana, "I see her."

"Paige," Shay whined.

"Hey T."

"Hey," she responded.

Shay turned around in her seat and faced us, "I want you guys to make up because I'm in a great place in my life. I saw my father today and I'm really happy but y'all are ruining it, y'all are sister for fuck sakes."

"I don't have a problem with her, I have a problem with her father."

"Tiana," Shay said.

"I see where she coming from but in my eyes, my father is my everything, despite what he's done and to my knowledge he's a great man."

"I guess we can put this behind us then," I said.

"I guess," she shrugged.

Ayden laughed.

"What's funny?" I asked.

"You females are so dramatic," he said.

"We are not!" Tiana exclaimed.

"Point proven," he laughed.

"Shay you better get ole boy for we have to jump him."

"Period!" I agreed.

Eventually, we made it to the party and it was lit, I was ready to turn up. I had drinks, smoked some weed, danced with my girls, I had fun.
