Family Comes First

Chapter Two

Chapter Two (Alanna's POV)

My Ray Bans covered my eyes as I searched through the crowded airport to find the exit. "Where is the damn exit?" I mumbled. I felt like I was walking in gigantic circles.

My brain was fired up as I scanned the crowd looking for any sighs of an exit door, my palms were getting sweaty while my mind couldn't stop worrying about the girls.

Ugh, is it that hard to find an exit around here? I'm already hours behind.

"Need help?" I jumped as I turned my body around to see all three girls standing side by side, smiling at me. A relief sigh escaped from my mouth as I beamed at the girls. As always, Skylar was the first to open her big ass mouth, "Well, you gon' stand there, baby girl or give us a hug?"

I chuckles as we all formed our signature group hug. "I missed y'all." My voice came out quietly. I have missed them, and I breathed in their familiar scent. And I relaxed into the hug.

I looked at them in order. Sky and her beautiful black hair and violet eyes were as stunning as ever. She wore her usual skinnies, one of Michaels Bad tee shirts with a sweater over it.

"You haven't changed a bit." I remarked.

"Yeah, you know me," she flipped her hair, "Always on clerk, baby."

"S, shut up!" Alondra laughed at Skylar as she flipped her off. "You ain't nothin' but buck 'o five."

"Oh!" Annie chirped in, clapping loudly. "Served, bitch!"

I shook my head, "Y'all crazy." Alondra looked around and leaned in towards Sky, Annie and I.

"Aye, should we do the pledge here?"

Sky's eyes bulged, "Here?!" Her face looked pink.

"It ain't even a pledge." I said.

"You know what I mean." Alondra stated.

Annie laughed, "I'm down." She shrugged.

Alondra faced me, "You know what to do."

"This is dumb." I shook my head, but obliged. I didn't wanna do this, but the sooner we did it, the sooner we could leave this joint and get sleep.

I put my bag down cleared my throat as I looked at Annie. "Annie, are you okay?" All the girls repeated after me and our voices got louder every time we repeated, "Annie, are you okay?"

Like Michael had done in the Smooth Criminal short film, I shouted, "Well, Annie, are you okay?!"

"ARE YOU OKAY, ANNIE?!" All the girls and everyone else around us clapped. I blushed as the girls high-fived. And Annie did a Michael spin before bowing. This made us laugh harder, and I felt so content being around the girls.

"Can we go, man?" I tried to hold back a smile as I gathered my things in my possession once again. We made it out safely, people hollering at us here and there from our ridiculous 'act' back at the airport. "Where are y'all stayin' at?"

"Ironically, we all booked at the Marriott."

I smiled, "Great minds think alike."

"Well, I didn't. Those other assholes with a name that a human being cannot pronounce, said my name was not 'listed' for a room." Annie acidly stated. "Dick-wads." She muttered, kicked an imaginary rock

"So, how come you came out late?" Sky quizzed.

I sighed at Alondra and explained how my flight got delayed. "They said there was some mistake on my plane ticket and gave me a new one." I shrugged. "Its whatever."
