Listen to: Twinz- Big Pun, Fat Joe

12:02am.

"Jesus, you didn't tell me there was gonna be this type of bitches here" Jib comments lighting up his blunt that he rolled up earlier. I grab a bottle of Alize off the counter as the guys all head to the back. I chug most of it down, not giving a fuck. "Jeez, slow down kid" a girl, who is probably about six years older than me comments as she grabs a red cup and points it towards me. I pour some out for her. "You tryna get fucked up?" "Yeah, actually" she chuckles, taking a sip from the cup as I do the same from the bottle. "Aye, Stacey looking for you" Fuck Shit declares, before looking down at the girl. "Damn, who's this?" he questions, making her giggle "I'll catch ya'll later" she mentions.

"She's bad" Fuck Shit comments as my phone begins to vibrate in my pocket. "Imma go take this" Fuck Shit nods, turning to the drinks as I make my way through all the bodies to the front porch, trying to get away from the loud music. I jump off the porch, where a few guys are sitting and turn down the corner. I put the bottle on the floor, before grabbing my phone. It's Lay. I huff, answering the phone.

"Yo" "How many times do I have to call you before you decide to pick up?" she questions as I huff again. "What Lay?" I ask, of course I've been avoiding her calls and texts. I don't need to get into it with her brothers. "I get to find out the baby's gender next week, I thought you would want to know if you were having a son or daughter" she declares. "K" "K, that's it?" she interrogates. I could tell that's she's pissed, but what the fuck can I do? "I don't want to have a kid I told you that" I state.

"You know everyone looks at me like I'm a hoe now because of what we did, you get to have a normal life but I don't" "I told you to get an abortion" I remind her, grabbing the drink and sipping it. "I'm Christian, we don't do that" I kiss my teeth "Christians don't let niggas buss nuts in them either" "So, it's like that?" she quizzes "I guess so" "Alright, I wont phone you no more" she declares, ending the call. I put the phone back in my pocket before heading back inside.

"There he is" I hear Stacey yell, making me turn around to see him coming from upstairs. He daps me up. "What's up player?" he questions "Nothing, you?" "Same old, same old, about Vermont, you should come..." he states as we hear something smash from the kitchen. "Aye, one second" he goes into the kitchen as I finish up my bottle before picking up another one. I go outside to try and find the rest of the guys. For California, it's cold as fuck. I spot Fuck Shit and some girl making out. Finally I see Ray, Jib and Jamal.

"Having a good time or what?" I ask as Ray daps me "Best party in a while" "Excuse me" a girl says making me turn around as she stares at Jamal. "Can we talk?" she asks him as his eyes widen "Yeah" she takes his hand and they stroll away together, he looks back at us and sticks his tongue out.

"Lucky prick" "Ayo, who is that?" Ray questions as a girl, who looks like she might be in her early 20's comes outside followed by a couple other girls, who I'm assuming are her friends. "Shit, she is bad" Jib adds "I call dibs" I shake my head, chugging my drink as Ray jogs over to her before anyone else could. "Damn, he always gets the baddest ones" Jib complains "She ain't even all that" I lie "Yeah right fool, she looks like Naomi Campbell" "What about her?" I ask, pointing to a girl by the pool, she's no Naomi, but she's close enough.

"Alright, Imma be back" he adds, leaving me alone. I turn around bumping into the girl who I shared my Alize with earlier. "Oh sorry" I apologise "It's okay" she comments, slurring and swaying. "You okay?" I ask "Yeah. I just need to lie down" "I'll help you" I add as she wraps one arm around me "Thanks" "No problem" I comment. I help her up the stairs before turning into a random room. It's all pink and has a small single bed, so I'm assuming that's it's Stacey's little sister's room. I put her down on the bed, putting my bottle down.

I get up properly, trying to leave. "Wait" she calls as I turn back around closing the door behind me. The room is dark, I could barely see her. "Don't go" she pleads as I grab my drink, standing in front of her, almost as drunk as she is. She sits up, pulling me closer to her by my T-shirt, spilling some drink on the carpet. "Oh shit" I curse "Don't worry about it" She pulls me down on top of her, placing my lips on hers, my hand creeps up her side, but I pull away. "Look, your drunk" "It's fine" she adds, kissing me again. I try to put the drink back down, but it falls on the floor beside me.

She begins to pull at my jeans when we hear a gun shot from downstairs, making us pull away. The music downstairs cuts off, followed by screams. "Shit" I cuss, getting up properly, leaving the room and looking over the banister to see two guys roaming around in balaclavas and guns. I turn back into the room. "What's going on?" she whispers but I ignore her, going to the window seeing people running. I open it, pushing the blinds out of the way before stepping out. I can see Jamal, Fuck Shit, Jib and Ray standing on the corner. The fall wasn't that far and if I'm lucky I would land on the hood of the car.

I jump down, landing on the car perfectly, causing a dent in it. I hop down about to run off. "What about me?" the girl asks, sobering up quickly. "Jump" I tell her in a duh like tone. "I'm scared of heights" "Come on, we don't have time for that shit" She steps out onto the ledge. "I wont let you drop" I state, holding my arms out as I hear things smash from inside. She jumps, making me catch her slightly, as I said it wasn't a big fall.

"Run" I tell her, she does and I do the same, going in the other direction, catching up to Jib, Jamal, Ray and Fuck Shit.
