"Hi mom.", Kennedy says walking in the house. "Hey Ken, how are you?", her mom asks hugging her. "I'm fine.", she says hesitantly hugging her back and pulling away quickly. "Well aren't you gonna introduce me?", she asks making Kennedy slightly dart her eyes at her.
"Mother this is August, August this is Robin, my mother.", she says pointing back and forth between them. "It's nice to formally meet you, Ms. Banks.", August says shaking her hand. "It's nice to meet you too, it would've been nice to meet you sooner.", Robin snarks while looking at Kennedy. "We just got here, please don't start.", Kennedy says as August wraps his arm around her waist and looks down at her.
August If looks could kill, the way Kennedy looks right now would kill an entire village. She really doesn't wanna be here, but she came for her little brother's graduation of course.
"Where's my brother?", Kennedy asks. "Upstairs in his room.", Robin says pointing towards the stairs. "Cool.", she says walking away with August following behind her.
"Hey baby brotherrrr!", Kennedy says hugging Bryson. "Hey, you came!", Bryson says hugging her back. "I told you I would, I couldn't miss your graduation.", she says pulling back and softly punching him in the shoulder.
"Thank you, seriously.", he says. "You know you're the only reason why I'll come back down here, but Bryson this is August, August this is Bryson.", she says. "It's nice to meet you, Bryson. Ken has told me a lot about you, told me y'all were pretty close before she left.", August says dapping him up.
"It's nice to meet you too, and yeah we were. We could never get along with our brick head of a brother, and we just got along with each other better.", he says as Kennedy nods in agreement.
"Okay I haven't seen you in so long, I wanna know everything. Do you have a girlfriend?", Kennedy asks smiling and shimmying her shoulders. "Actually, yeah.", Bryson says. "Oooh, what's her name?", she asks. "Aaliyah, this is what she looks like.", he says turning on his phone and showing her his lockscreen. "She is prettyyyy, keep talking.", she says making Bryson laugh as he starts talking about her.

Aaliyah King, Bryson's Girlfriend
"My baby brother is in loveeeee, I'm happy for you forreal. What you planning to do for college?" Kennedy asks. "You know I'm still playing basketball, I have a full ride to USC so I committed there.", Bryson says. "What?! You coming down to Cali?", she asks smiling.
"Yeah, ever since you left mom has literally gotten worse. I seriously cannot stay here anymore, I completely understand why you left.", he says whispering as she nods. "I'm proud of you B.", she says wrapping her arm around his neck. "Thank you Ken.", he says laying his head on her shoulder.
Kennedy Bryson getting away from our mother is literally the best thing right now, especially now that he understands the whole reasoning behind why I left. The common denominator for why 2/3 of the Banks kids are leaving not only the house, but the state? Our mother and brother. Plus now that he's gonna be living in Cali, we can probably get close again.
Later on that Day
"So where are you two gonna be staying at?", Robin asks. "In my old room.", Kennedy says. "Y'all didn't want to stay at a hotel?", she asks making Ken raise an eyebrow. "Does it matter? I'm not here for you. We ain't gone bother you, I promise.", she says grabbing a water bottle then sitting it on the counter.
"You really have a lot of fucking mouth for me to be the one who raised you by myself.", she says. "You have a lot of mouth for me to be the one keeping the lights on and the water running in this bitch. Also, you didn't raise me, I raised myself. You were too busy grooming Mike and Bryson to be the men they are today, remember? I am who I am today because of me, you'll never get any credit for my success. You lucky I even give you money.", she scoffs.
"If you were gonna treat me this shitty and treat the boys like kings in the same setting, you should've never had me. Could've saved both of us a lot of pain.", she says grabbing her water bottle and walking back upstairs.
"Ungrateful bitch.", Kennedy says walking in her room and slamming the door making August jump. "What's wrong?", August asks putting his phone down and walking towards her. "Why don't I mean anything to her August?", she asks as her voice cracks and she starts to cry while covering her face.
"Baby, no.", he says wrapping his arms around her making her break down completely. "Why am I not good enough?", she asks crying in his chest. "You are, you're more than enough.", he says rubbing her back. "Not to her.", she says crying harder.
August When that first tear dropped, so did my heart. This my first time seeing her cry, and I.. damn.
"Baby..", August says cupping her face and looking down at her, "You are more than enough, whether she realizes it or not. You have a little brother who loves you, you have three little girls who admire you, you have me who loves every inch of you, you have your salon that YOU made into the beautiful business it is today. I'm proud of you.", he says wiping her tears as she starts to smile. "There that beautiful smile goooo.", he says pulling her in for a hug.
Friday Morning
"Hey, you wanna go with me and Aug to get some breakfast?", Kennedy asks walking in Bryson's room. "Yeah, but are you okay? I heard what happened yesterday.", Bryson says. "Yeah, I'm good. Just let me know when you're ready then we can head out.", she says walking out of his room.
"Where's your other brother?", August asks putting on a shirt. "I don't know, and I really don't care. You think my mom is bad? Michael is the absolute worst, he's a narcissistic asshole.", Kennedy says fixing her nose piercing. "Wow.", he says. "Yeah, well we're just waiting on Bryson so once he's ready we can go.", she says. "Where are y'all going?", Robin asks walking in her room.
"To get some food.", Kennedy says not looking at her. "Can y'all bring me some back?", she asks. "Do you have the money for it? Oh.", she says leaning down to put on her shoes making August shake his head and Robin roll her eyes. "Fine I'll just ask Bryson.", she says walking out.
"When are y'all leaving? I hope that didn't sound bad.", Bryson says closing the car door. "It didn't, but Sunday. I have mad clients starting on Monday. When do you have to go on campus?", Kennedy asks starting to drive off. "A month from today, I believe.", he says.
"Okay, just let me know when and you know I'll pick you up from the airport, we can go to the campus together, and get your dorm room and shit set up. If you want me to be there of course.", she says. "Why wouldn't I want you there? Plus you've been in California longer and I don't know where shit is.", he chuckles. "True, but I'm really proud of you B.", she says.
- The next part will be Bryson's graduation, but as of right now how y'all feeling towards Kennedy's mom?
