•Morgan POV

"Marquis I gotta be at work in 10 minutes why is you still sleep." I said busting in his room. "I ain't got work today." He said rolling over to the other side of the bed. "NIGGA ME! I GOT WORK NOT YOU!" I yelled getting irritated. He didn't even answer this time. "Fuck it I'm calling Liyah." I walked out his room and back to mine. I pulled out my phone and FaceTimed her.

"Hello." She answered with a groggy voice.

"Were you sleep?" I asked.

"Clearly. What you need?" She asked.

"A ride to work." I said.

"Where the fuck MJ at?"

"Looking like you right about now. Can you get me or not cause I got to open up." I said shaking my head.

"Fine. I'll be there in 10 minutes." She hung up the phone.

I hate having two lazy ass siblings, it gets annoying sometimes. I went in my bathroom putting my braids in a half up half down bun. After that I went downstairs and grabbed a water and sat outside waiting for her to pull up.

After about 5 minutes she pulled up. I got in the car and bust out laughing. "What the fuck is so funny?" She mugged. "You look horrible." I laughed. "You want a ride to work, then shut the hell up." She said pulling out the driveway.

"I'm not picking yo ass up." She said pulling into the parking lot. "Yeah, yeah I love you too." I said grabbing my bags. I got out the car and walked into the hair shop seeing everybody already started. I walked back to my office and sat my bags down. "You late as hell best friend." Ashanti said walking in there. "I know. My dumbass brother act like he couldn't get the fuck up." I said rolling my eyes. "His fine self." She said in a low tone but loud enough for me to hear.

"Get out." I said shaking my head. "I'm just saying. You know yo brother fine." She said sitting down. "So it's just fuck me huh?" I asked. "What you mean?" She said raising a brow. "I say get out and you sit down."

"Because I love you. Anyways how was the party last night?" She asked. "Let me tell you girl. I walk in my room just to see one of Marquis friends and some hoe in my bed. Then later that night, I caught the same friend staring at my ass." I said shaking my head. "Well is he cute?" She asked. "Out of that story, thats what your first question is?" I asked. "I mean what else should I ask, how big his dick was." She said making me laugh. "You stupid." I said shaking my head. "Seriously though I need to get ready. I got to braid that one girl hair today who always coming in here with fucked up edges." I said making Ashanti choke up her water. "What lady?" She asked.

"You know that lady who always yelling at me talking bout "grip my hair tighter." In my head I just be like what the fuck you want me to grip. Yo scalp." I scoffed making Ashanti bust out laughing. "Girl go do yo job. In here talking bout these people." She said walking out. I went outside to the shop and seen a few people waiting. I'm in charge of the braids and Ashanti does sew-ins. "Is Armani here for her 8:00 appointment?" I asked looking around. "I'm here." A girl who looked about my age stood up. "Okay just sit right here."

•Marquis POV

It was going on noon and I was just now waking up. I didn't have no drops tonight but me and my homeboys was going out tonight. I grabbed my sweats off the floor and put them on and walked downstairs. "I'm finna change the locks." I said seeing my sister Aaliyah in the kitchen. "And I'd still find a way in here. I'm bored and hungry so what we finna eat." She said sitting at the table. "Im finna take a shower and go to the trap just to check on some shit. We can go eat after that." I said rolling my eyes. "Between you and Mo fat asses, I'm gone be broke." I said laughing. "You sound just like dad." She said laughing. That was true though.

My mom LOVED to cook and eat and she was always asking my dad for food. And every time she asked, my dad would say "yo fat ass always want something." It's crazy how we all act alike. "I'll be back." I went upstairs in my room to take a shower.

~Aaliyah POV

I decided to watch Netflix while MJ was in the shower.

"You ready?" He said coming down the steps. "Yep." I responded putting my shoes back on. "Fuck I forgot my phone." He went back upstairs. The doorbell rang. "I GOT IT!" I yelled from downstairs. I opened the door but no one was out where. I walked out a little bit seeing a rose on the door step. "Who was it?" MJ said from behind me. "I don't know but they left a rose." I said turning around. His eyes got wide and he pulled back in the house. "Don't be yanking my like that." I mugged. "Was the rose the only thing out there?" He asked. "I think, why? One of yo hoes finally coming back to you?" I asked laughing. "This ain't the time to be playing right now." He said pacing back and forth.

"I need to call Shaun, Landon, and Jaycee cause this sh- I GOTTA GO GET MO!" He said. He ran outside and into his car. I followed right behind me. "Can you tell me what the fuck is going on?" I said once he pulled out the driveway. "You know how last year Landon got shot during a drop?" He asked. "No but continue." I said. "Well the shooting was with some gang that always left a rose when handling business. We had war with them for a while but out of nowhere they just stopped. We thought they forgot but this rose just told me different. And when they fight, they don't leave nobody alive."

~Morgan POV

"Alrighty Armani you're done." I said after laying her edges. "Girl you the first person to be able to lay these edges down." She said laughing. "I do what I can." I shrugged. She paid me and walked out. I heard the bell on the door making me turn around.

"EVERYBODY ON THE FUCKING GROUND!"
