Part Four :

"Where were you?" Kendall asked me when I stepped back outside "dealing with drunk Keenan, I'm letting him nap before we all start heading to his surprise party" I told her.

""Oh okay because I had noticed all four of you disappeared had to make sure there wasn't no fight" she said while hitting her blunt then she passed it to me and I hit it.

"Nah I actually overheard him venting to her, what he said was so sad" I told her

"What he say?"

"Basically he was just like he doesn't feel like he's good enough for me and feels like he's a failure .. that broke my heart because he doesn't even realize how much he's done for me"

"Awww I wonder why he feels like that"

"I guess he actually sat and thought about everything that's happened this past year and he felt like it was all him"

"Well in the beginning it was, I'll never get over that weird asś behavior. Like that whole situation was weird because what was his purpose of treating you like that? I get he wanted to hide his feelings but honestly anyone who hung around you guys could see it like"

"I agree. I just hate that he's taking all the blame I knew it was gonna happen eventually"

"Well just remind him and reassure him"

"Yeah I am when he's sober" I chuckled

"I haven't seen him this drunk in so long" I added

I just reminded myself to call the owner of the arcade Mister Smith to check in.

"Hold on lemme go call the arcade"

He answered after the first ring "hey Tiara!"

"Hey Mr.Smith I was calling to see how is everything and if it's all set up?" I asked him

"Yup we're just finishing up and the food is on it's way" he told me

"Great! Our friends are gonna start being on their way shortly. Thank you so much again for letting me rent your place out"

"You know I love you kids like y'all are my own ! It's absolutely no problem, call me when they pull up the caterers just got here" he told me

"Okay I will" I said and then we hung up.

"So around 9:15 start making y'all way to the arcade, I'm gonna help him get ready" I told our friends

"Arcade?" Bre asked "yeah I'm throwing him a surprise party at the arcade we use to go to all the time in high school , the owner is letting me rent it out for the night" I told her

"Tap in?" Korey asked "yeah" I nodded

"That's wassup, I haven't been there since junior year" he said

"No one asked" Lani mumbled

"What was that?" Bre asked "I sai- she said nothing , but yes that's where his party is taking place , we're expecting about 30-35 people" I cut Lani off before a fight broke out.

"Sounds good" Bre said.

Lani rolled her eyes. "Laugh my asś off bïtch chill" I heard Kendall whisper to her

"Okay well it's almost 9 now so let's start heading over before people start showing up, what time did you tell them come Ti?" Travis asked me trying to get rid of the tension

"I told them 9:30-45ish" I told him then mouthed "thank you" he just nodded his head.

"Okay well let's go, Ti we taking your car?" Kendall asked "yeah I'm gonna drive Keenan's," I handed her my keys.
