~Jayceon POV
"How you holding up honey?" My mom asked. "I don't even know. I lost my best friend and we was fighting the last time we was with each other." I said shaking my head. "Fighting about what?" She asked raising a brow. I couldn't necessarily tell my mom about me fucking his sister behind his back. "I cant tell you that mama."
"Boy tell me what it was." She said sitting next to me. "I was messing around with his lil sister behind his back. He found out about it and he was pretty pissed." I said. "Have you checked on the girl yet?" She asked. "Why would I do that?"
"It helps. Both if you lost someone close to you. Now I knew Marquis and who he was as a person. And I know he would want you to be there for her and make sure she's okay regardless of what happened between y'all." She said. "Last time I seen her was at the funeral and she wouldn't even look at me. What makes you think she'll talk to me?" I scoffed. "I could be wrong. But you'll never know until you try. Now I gotta head to work so I'll see you later." She kissed my face and walked out. Like she said, I'll never know until I try.
~Morgan POV
I was woken by the ringing of my doorbell. I ignored it and continued to lay down. The doorbell rang two more times causing me to get up. I looked a hot ass mess right now and was in no mood for company. I put on my sweats and walked downstairs. I opened the door seeing Jayceon. I tried to close the door but he put his foot in the way. I didn't even say anything to him. I turned around walking to my couch. I sat down with my knees to my chest.
I felt him sit down next to me. "I'm sorry." He said breaking the silence. "Sorry for what?" I asked. "About Marquis. And for what I did." I turned my heads towards him. "It's okay." I simply said. "No it's not." He said. "I fucked up. I led you on and treated you like some hoe. Then MJ died and I ain't even have the heart to check on you." He said. My eyes began watering. "Say something." He said. Tears starting rolling down my face. I started crying on his shoulder. He wrapped his arms around me rubbing my back.
"I miss him so much." I said balling my eyes out. "Please don't leave. Can you just stay here with me." I said looking up at him. "Morgan I got to go to the trap." He sighed. "Whatever." I said getting up only to be pulled back down by my arm. "I'll stay." He said holding me.
~DeShaun POV
"Where the fuck was you at when we needed you?" I asked Josiah. "I was putting the shit in the car like yall asked." He scoffed. "IT WAS TWO FUCKING BAGS! IT DONT TAKE THAT LONG TO THROW THAT SHIT IN THE TRUNK!" I yelled getting irritated. "Shaun calm down." Landon said. "Ain't my fault that nigga dead." He said making my head pop back up. I grabbed him by his neck pushing him against the wall. "Don't you ever fucking disrespect my dead brother like that. I will fucking kill you. I didn't ask you to be on this god damn team and I could care less about you fucking leaving. I ain't never fucking heard of you so as far as I'm concerned, you is a fucking nobody. So watch what you say around me patna." I said through gritted teeth.
"Shaun let the nigga go man." Landon said pulling my back. "Where the fuck is Jaycee at?" Landon asked. "I don't know but Im finna call him."
"Hello." He said answering the phone.
"Where you at?" I asked.
"I got caught up with something. I'll swing by later." He said.
"Nigga where you at?" I asked.
"With Morgan. I'll call you back." He said before hanging up the phone. This nigga.
"Where he at?" Landon asked. "With Morgan." I said. "So they date?" Josiah asked. "Nigga why does any of that shit concern yo ass." Landon said. "Look I ain't asking for y'all to be my friend but y'all will fucking respect me. I'm capable of a lot of shit. I don't give a fuck about y'all personal life nor problems cause it ain't got shit to do with me." He said walking out. "I'm going home. I'm fed up with this shit." Landon said.

It was going on 9:00 and I needed a drink. I grabbed my keys driving to Blackbird Ordinary. I grabbed my aux cord playing Malcolm X.X.X by Kodak.
"I got married to the game, she put these racks all on me
Now I got diamonds on my ring, look like a matrimony
First they screamin' my name, then file a lawsuit on me
You would hate to see me reach my full potential
You want me robbin', poppin' Mollies, poppin' pistols
I'm goin' to college 'cause to the youngins I'm influential
Thought it was Congress, they ain't know this was a Presidential
They ain't know that I was intellectual"
I pulled up to the bar and got out. I walked inside sitting down. "Damn Shaun I ain't seen yo ass in a lil minute." The bartender Roz said. "It's been a long ass week bro. Let me get Tequila straight." He said. "I'm gone have to call yo ass an uber tonight." He laughed. I turned around looking at all the people. "Ahem." A girl said walking up to me. "Wassgood." I said looking at her, she was bad as fuck. "I'm not good at approaching guys and I'm half drunk right now." She said making me laugh a little. "But I thought you were cute and I grew courage to come over here and talk to you." She said slurring her words a little.
"You're not saying anything which means I probably embarrassed myself so I'm just gonna walk away." Before she could leave I grabbed her arm. "Let's talk." I smirked downing my Tequila.
~Morgan POV
I woke up still noticing that I was on the couch. I look around and Jayceon wasn't here. I rolled my eyes and picked up my phone that was ringing. It was Ashanti.
"Hello." I said answering the phone.
"Can we talk?" She said.
"We have nothing to ta-" She cut me off.
"Morgan stop being so fucking stubborn and talk to me." She said.
"Fine."
"I'll be there in 20 minutes."
I hung up the phone hearing a door open in my house. I peeped around the corner seeing Jayceon coming around the corner. "I thought you left." I said. "Nah. But I am hungry as hell." He said. "You can go if you want." I said. "You sure?" He asked. "Yeah I'll be fine." I simply said. "Alright." He walked over to me giving me a hug. It wasn't one of those awkward ass side hugs he always did. We were full blown touching with his arms wrapped around my body. We stood like that for a few seconds before he let go. He lift my head up by my chin placing a kiss on my lips. "I'll see you later." He said before walking out.
I locked the door and decided to take a shower before Ashanti got here.
**
After getting out the shower, I put on my Ethika shorts and an oversized tee with my slippers. I heard my doorbell ring. I walked downstairs and opened the door seeing Ashanti. "Hey." I said. "Hey." It was awkward as fuck considering we haven't talked since the day my brother passed. I let her in and we both sat on my couch. "I am so sorry about dating Marquis behind your back." She said. "I really wish everyone would just stop apologizing to me." I said shaking my head. "I'm the one who should be apologizing. I was bitching about that for no reason." I said.
"You had the right to be a bitch." She said laughing. I rolled my eyes playfully. "I'm so sorry best friend. We should be here for each other through times like this. Not beefing." I said hugging her.
We talked for a few more minutes before she left. I walked to my fridge looking for something to eat. "I really need to go grocery shopping." I said looking inside. My doorbell rang again. "Niggas just wont let me be lonely today." I said under my breath. I opened the door seeing Jayceon with a box of pizza and some wings. "What's this?" I asked. "Food, obviously." He said walking past me. I followed behind him. "You shouldn't be alone. Plus I woke up before you and I looking for food and it aint shit in here." He said making me laugh.
"Thank you Jayceon." I said smiling.
