(ON HOLD) Tell Me When I'm Good Enough ($uicideboy$/$crim story)

As soon as they walk off I turn to $lick eager to find out what they hell is going through his head. It's a good job my lil mama is here because none of us speak girl. Quite clearly and I'm not sure how me and Pouya have managed to get girlfriends let alone the ones we have. We are definitely punching. So we decipher that she's into him too. Because if I'm not mistaken he's literally head over heels. I've never seen him like this. Even with his highschool sweetheart. That went on for too long and ended badly.

We headed back to New Orleans. $lick was going to be releasing his album soon. Then he would have to do a small tour. I'd probably join Black Fray for some of their promo tour and join $lick whenever we crossed paths. I'd probably miss touring with him too much and stay so we could work on some new songs. $lick didn't want to do anything for his album release but me and Kyle had other ideas. We where planning a massive party at his house. We hadn't told him yet and would only tell him when it was too late and he couldn't back out. Me and $licks side of the family didn't get on. At all.  But family is family and $lick loves them. So they where invited. We invited some of our old friends and all our industry friends. We hadn't all been in the same place for a while. I made sure that Black Fray was free and I sent all the invitations out.

He had just bought this house and it was barely furnished. We needed to fix that before the party. Me and Kyle out of character pushed him into house shopping. He didn't question it. I think he just though we where trying to get him out the house. He was definitely still hung up on this girl. Majorly. He wouldn't man up and DM her. She even asked him to and he  thinks she was just being nice. She has a boyfriend, he'd just say. 

I wanted this party to be professional and not the rachet ones we normally have. It will probably be rachet by the end of the night, we aren't the poshest of people. But with this being $licks first solo album and the first music he's done sober I wanted it to be special. And I'm assuming that when your sober you don't want everyone drinking lean and sniffing coke off your new kitchen counters

"$lick?"

"Oddy?" He smirked pulling his headphones off

"So we are having a party tomorrow"

"Your throwing a party?" He looks confused

"Yes, at your house. Me and Kyle have arranged it all you just need to not wear sweatpants or shorts"

"Says the one... And what is this party for exactly?" He chuckles

"Well a album listening party that you didn't want and that you never asked for. Your welcome" I grin

"Well do we need to go shopping? I literally have cereal and milk and that's it"

"Nah got it catered and Kyle's ordered everything. Even your groceries because you can't live on cereal, surprisingly enough"

"So who's coming?" I can tell he's warmed up to the idea

"Loads of people, most of them are going to start arriving soon that's why I wanted to let you know before people turn up" and like on cue in walks Fat Nick and Pouya with Coco bringing up the rear.

"$lick this place looks beautiful now you have actual furniture, I can't wait to get in that pool" Coco wraps her arms around him and squeezes
"Someone's bulked out! It suits you"

"Hey man I'm excited to hear what people think" Pouya gives us a bro hug

"I've not listened to it so it will be a suprise" Coco claps her hands excitedly.

For the rest of the day we greeted people who where arriving and staying over while a team came to dress the house. $lick has never had so many people in his house. We stayed out of the way in the movie room watching movies and listening to music. It was like the old times where we didn't have the tours and we just made music and partied. Apart from the swanky house we where sat in. Our house in the the 7th ward was nothing like this. Looking back it would like a crack den compared to this.

Just shows how far we have come.

The morning of the party was a bit of a blur. We had to run some errands in the morning and had to make sure that the house was dressed and the security team was briefed. $lick was nervous I could tell. We had tried to make it fun with a karaoke set up in the living area and we where going to set fireworks on the front later on. We had even bought him some pool floats  just incase it got a little crazy later on.

The party was going well, no-one was too fucked yet. The album was on repeat and was going down really well. I had avoided most contact with his brother. We weren't really on speaking terms. But I tried to bite my pride so $lim could have us all here to enjoy his accomplishments. I stood watching him. He's changed so much in the last year. For the better. His sobriety seemed to be stuck this time. He was looking after himself, he was focusing on himself and working like a dog but nothing changes there. I just hoped he could find someone to settle down with. Even if it wasnt Amber
