"It's not even that, I try and be involved and she gets mad, but when you don't get involved she goes and does some stupid shit like last time" I explained as me and my three friends sat in the empty salon.
We were closed due to my shop floor being redone.
"Maybe she doesn't need you to get involved as in question her and force things on her. Just be there, your presence can go a long way" Reina added her thoughts
Me and her were the closest. She was very outspoken but she was also very sympathetic and knew the right things to say at the right times.
She was a dark skinned beauty who had a slim figure and she stood at about 5'6 give or take a few.
"But my presence ain't gon stop her from doing the shit she did a few weeks back"
"But it'll show her that she has someone on her side and if she really comes to a point where she can't take it she'll talk to you." This time Bebe spoke up
Her real name was Beatrice she was my thick Dominican friend.
"Maybe you should do what she did, fall off the face of the earth. That's a grown woman when she needs you she'll come running and it'll teach her ass how to treat those who are trying to be there for her" Serena's voice was laced with attitude as she folded her arms and rolled her eyes.
"Yea that's what I'm gonna do" I thought loudly nodding my head
"Hol up nah, reina shook her head, that's yo sister and you know the type of shit she go through, she's going to feel useless if you treat her like that" Reina shook her head
"Well I feel the same way" I shrugged rolling my eyes

"You should pick me up early" Lenzi nudged me
"Eww why would I wanna do that" I said jokingly with a laugh
"I sit in CSI all day. Just two hours early nothing major" she emphasized with her hands
"You do realize that I have a job right?" I glanced over at her as I drove
"I can go back to work with you" she tried reasoning
"Lenzi" I shot her a look
"Mommy pleeeease" she hugged my arm which laid on the center console
"Fine" I smiled over at her
"Yay you can pick me up at 11" she cheered wiggling in her seat
"Alright let's go" I placed the car in park stepping out
"Hey mr.Bennett hi Ms.Lee." Lenzi immediately greeted running over to hug the man
Shaking my head I walked over to the desk grabbing the sheet to sign her in.
"Alright lenz I'll see you later" I pulled her into a hug kissing the top of her head
"Nice seeing you again" Bennett smirked
"Aye lemme rap with you for a second" he followed me out the office
"What" I sighed folding my arms
"Why the attitude though" he stepped back with his face frowned up
"Does this have anything to do with Lenzi?" I pointed between us
"Nah, But-"
"I don't wanna hear it" I held my hand up cutting him off
"Alright nah ima remember that" he called out after I had gotten a few feet away
