{ trouble }
Ohh ohh yeah yeah . I told her she should hear him out regardless of how's she's feeling towards him like he might give her some valuable information .

{ dee'Leah}
You think that's a good idea. I mean tink doesn't seem like she's in the right head space to be dealing with him

{ trouble }
It's not our place to pick and choose who she decides to deal with ... y'all said that shit y'all self , if it was up to me I'll lock her ass in a basement.

Dee'Leah cut eyes at me leaning on the stairs sitting down looking at me .

{ dee'Leah }
Man I'm serious I'm starting to worry about her .

I sat down beside her on the lower step next to her placing my arm on her leg looking at her .

{ trouble }
Okay okay . I don't know what you want me to do about it . She's her own person all we ca-

Mari walked around the corner .

{ Mari }
Y'all we just got invited to her party . Only issue is we cannot pull up empty handed .

{ dee'Leah }
Who's party if you talking about Zion count me out . I'll go to my moms until y'all done partying.

{ Mari }
Mmcht hell no Ariel the pretty darkskin girl that dragged willow Harrison for bullying her baby cousin .

{ dee'Leah }
Who ?

Mari waved her off walking into the living room grabbing her bag . She looked at me I shrugged my shoulders getting up of the step .

I went into the kitchen going straight for the refrigerator . I was thirsty my mouth was dry for all of what reason I don't even know .

I grabbed a water bottle shutting the refrigerator door . Jayce was standing by the door , I jumped looking at her .

{ Trouble }
You need to make noise or something Jayce .

I said sitting down at the island table . She sat down looking at me .

{ Jayce }
How come you don't talk to me much anymore?

{ trouble }
Jayce I dead talk to you every day what are you talking about?

{ Jayce }
You know that's not what I mean trouble . I get we have our ups and down but this different

{ trouble }
We fucked , ended up dating ,got engaged on the low , fought physically and what else oh yeah you tried to hit me with your fucking car Jayce .

She stared at me shaking her head adjusting herself in the chair .

{ Jayce }
Look I can admit , we had made some fucked up choices you more then me but that's besides the point .

{ Jayce }
That night at Zions party was never supposed to happen . But it did happen and we can't keep ignoring that trouble .

{ trouble }
I'm not ignoring anything and I definitely don't regret what I did or what we did just know it's never happening again.

{ Jayce }
I know I don't want it to happen again . I just wanna know where we both stand in all of this ...

{ trouble }
We good , I'm over it . Trust me I dealt with my karma for the way I treated y'all .

I said popping my water bottle open drinking my water , Jayce leaned back in her chair putting her hands on the counter.

{ trouble }
Ight Jayce ... spit it out what's on your mind .

{ Jayce }
Nothing .

{ trouble }
Man I know you so spit it out cause you gone go to Ariel's party tonight get sloppy drunk & get to telling how you really feel then everybody gone be 38

{ Jayce }
You ever feel like it was a mistake being her into our lives ?

I looked at her leaning back . I wonder , if everybody else feel like this cause if Jayce asking this question somebody said something to rub her the wrong way .

Or either she about to get ready to show her ass and is looking for a perfect way out .

If she says some messed up stuff . I embraced myself for the conversation.

{ trouble}
I mean honestly sometimes but I look at it as a blessing and a lesson .

{ Jayce }
How so ? If yon mind me asking .

{ trouble }
It's like this if we hadn't meet tink . I would still be fucking around on you , while we was together and nobody would've never knew we was together and I would've never took full responsibility of my actions

I said looking at Jayce her facial expression changed .

{ Jayce }
Trouble you telling me that you would've still been fucking around on me ? Even though we was together but not publicly.

I sighed holding my water bottle cause I definitely dug myself right into that one .

{ Trouble }
No I'm saying like I would've never fucked with tink on that level like I -

{ Jayce }
Just shut the hell up cause you just making it worst . Imma about to head home to get more clothes so we can leave for Ariel party tonight.

She got up walking around me . I shook my head laying on the island table .

Jada came around the counter rubbing my head getting my attention.

{ jada }
Yo trouble , you wanna take me to the store right quick .

{ trouble }
What you trying to get ? I'll go get it cause I need some air .

{ jada }
Pads I just ran out and tink don't use pads like that all I see is tampons unless she hiding them somewhere in this big ass house .

I laughed getting up , we both walked out the kitchen heading out into the front door .

Mari stopped both of at the door running up .

{ jada}
Bet

{ trouble }
Just come with me .

{ Mari }
Yoo jada , Trouble where y'all heading too you think you could take me to the store I need more pads .

I looked at jada , who looked at Mari putting her hands above her head resting her hands on her head .

{jada }
You too ? Like we must finna be at the part bluethoothing at shit .

Mari walked pass us opening the door . Jada walked out I shut the door behind me .

When I got to the car Jayce , j'Leah and dee'Leah came flying out .

Dee'Leah shut and locked the door behind her .
