BFF

Messy

Star – POV (Izzy's Girl)

I was stretched out on my bed, phone to my ear, talking to my sister like I always did when I needed to vent.

"Minnie, I promise you he's still fucking her. On God," I said, my voice tight.

"So what you about to do?" she asked calmly, like she already knew the answer.

"I hate that this nigga got me so open—it's so crazy. But he having a release party tonight, and I know she going."

"He finally dropping his music?" she asked, clearly surprised.

"Yeah."

She paused, then said, "I didn't even tell you—I almost fought Izzy baby mama's sister."

"Bitch, when?! And why didn't you call me?" I stopped dead in my tracks.

"It all happened so fast," she said with a little laugh. "That little bitch Tia be on one. After that little lunch where Brandy wanted me to meet her, a couple days later we all went to the studio, then back to Ki and Chris' crib. The bitch kept getting petty, so me, her, and Brandy kept going back and forth."

"Do she know you and Dave fucked?" I asked, lowering my voice.

"Yeah," Minnie said. "I was acting like I didn't know his name was East and shit at first, but then I was like fuck it."

"You so in love with that nigga," I said, shaking my head with a grin.

"And you so in love with Izzy," she fired back without missing a beat.

"Girl... I know. With his stupid ass," I said, flopping back on the bed.

"I'm just shocked they don't remember us," she said after a beat.

"I mean, I don't blame them. The only reason I remember them is from the pictures Mama got—the ones I showed you."

"Yeah, you right... Did you tell Izzy?"

"Nah. I don't see the point in telling him. If it comes out, I'm not tripping though."

"Shit crazy," Minnie muttered. "But let's go get some outfits for Izzy's thing tonight."

"Alright. come pick me up."

"I always do, lol."

Call ended.

Dave – POV

I was out at the warehouse with the fellas, just dangling. We was chilling, smoking, and talking shit like usual.

Chris lit the blunt and exhaled. "The other night was crazy."

Izzy shook his head. "Man, when I heard that shit, I was shocked."

Bully leaned back, eyes low. "I didn't hear the end of it all night."

I took a long pull, let the smoke swirl out slowly. "It's gon' get bad before it get better—I can tell y'all that right now. Neither one of them was trying to hear anything 'cause they both stubborn as hell."

Bully scoffed. "Who you telling? I really can't stand that bitch Amanda."

Izzy paused, looked over. "Amanda as in Minnie? From back in the day? That one?"

"Yeah, nigga," I said, already knowing what he was thinking.

"That's Star's sister," Izzy said, his voice lowering like he was piecing it together in real time.

Chris let out a low whistle. "Oh, this shit even more messy. One into it with Kim, the other into it with Tia—and they both lethal as hell in the ass-whooping department. And you got your big event tonight. I know they all coming."
