Chanel pov

Waking up , not wanting to see the people in the house.
Walking in my bathroom, to do my morning hygiene, I hear yelling knowing it's my brother and mother going back and forth because my brother won't give my mom any meth.
My mom been on drugs since my dad die.
My dad was the drug lord of Harlem.
When he died , he past the job to my brother Jah'Mez.
Me and Mez are close but not as close as we we're when my dad was alive.
When he was alive , me and mez would always play together, go places. That was my ride or die. My right hand. My everything.
I don't know what happened ....

Taking off my clothes to get in the shower, their was a knock on the door.
Yelling to see who it was, it was Mez.
"Chanel , I'm leaving text me if you need me" Mez said
"Good Morning to you too, and ok" Chanel reply
Jumping in the shower, doing my wash up.
Jumping out the shower, I go to my closet to find something to wear.
Hearing my phone ring , I go to answer without looking at the caller ID.
" Hello" Chanel said
"Good morning bestie" Chanel best friend Olivia said
" Good morning livia"
"What you doing ? Wanna come over? I know you don't want to be in the house" Olivia said
"Yea" Chanel reply's
" I'm on my way , be ready" Olivia said
" Ok , love you" I said
"Love you more" Olivia said before hanging up.

Going back into my closet , not knowing what to wear.
I ended going with a black cropped hoodie with some khaki joggers with my black uggs.
Looking at my phone , I get a text from Olivia saying she was outside.
Getting my keys, charger and purse.
I walk downstairs.
Not seeing my mother.
I run to the front door , and book it to Olivia's car.
Seeing my mother coming to the front door I told Olivia to drive.
We pull off. 
"Hey liv" I said
"Hey mama" she said
"What we doing today ?" I questioned
" I'm having a party tonight, and your staying for it !!" Liv demands
" Olivia, you know I don't do party" I said whining
"I know but your doing this one" She said
"Whatever" I said with a attitude

20 minutes later

Pulling up to Olivia's house.
We get out the car.
While we're getting out, we see Mez's car pull up.
Olivia and Jah'Mez have a little thing going on.
They been off and on for about 2 years now.
They been on their bullshit.
Jah'Mez parked the car.
Getting out , I see the passenger door open.
Getting out, a tall, brown skin, tattooed man.
Noticing it was Dave.
I turn towards the door, and walking in the house.
Coming up behind me was Dave , Jah'Mez and Olivia.
I walk upstairs not wanting to be around them.
Olivia follows behind me.
" Chanel what's wrong" Liv questioned
"Nothing , nothing at all" I said laying on her bed.
"Then why did you come up here" she questioned again
"I came up here because, I thought today was just going to be us, every time I come over here, they have to come to. Liv I get you want to spend time with Jah'Mez and we both know I don't want to be at my house, it's just that I wanted it to just be us, you're already making me go to a party I don't want to be at, the least you could of done was spend time with me alone, just you and me" I said speaking my mind.
" I didn't know you felt that way, Nel. But I'm glad you told me. Tomorrow it's just going to be me and you. We're going to have a bestie date, I promise" Liv promised.
"Ok" I simply said
"But for now can you please come back down?" Liv pleaded
"Ughhh, sure" I whined and rolled my eyes.  

Walking back downstairs, I seen Jah'Mez obviously upset.
Walking over to my brother.
I said " what's wrong Mez?"
He didn't say anything
I asked him again
He just got up and walked out the door.
Not knowing what to do, I let him be.
Olivia tried too run after him but I stopped her and told her to give him his space, knowing my brother, he probably did some dumb shit ....
