"Sidewalks saved my life. They don't ever lie."

"What do you think?"
Tifari stared at herself in the mirror as Jazmine applied makeup to her red blemishes. She continued to add beads to her braids as she looked at herself up and down.
It was a little past nine now and the girls were getting ready for the party and had Beyoncé's Bday album blasting from Tifari's speaker. It was the perfect soundtrack to get in the mood for a party.
Tifari felt a little self conscious of herself in the outfit she had picked out along with her flare up that Jazmine was desperately trying to cover up with concealer and foundation.
"You look great, pooh! I think you are gonna be the life of the party!" Jazmine said with a warm smile, but a piece of Tifari didn't believe her. She never felt pretty when her Lupus started to flare up.
Abel was always there to make her feel better about her appearance but she didn't have that same comfort as usual right now. Tifari just nodded a bit as she finished putting white and clear beads on the ends of her braids.
Jazmine finished doing her makeup and turned to the mirror to see the finished product. "See? You can't even see them now." Jazmine stated proudly before closing up her makeup containers. "I'm gonna be a makeup artist one day! Watch!"
Tifari couldn't help but to laugh at her silly ways and sit down on the side of her bed. "You think he's gonna be there?" Tifari asked, looking over at her friend. Jazmine rolled her eyes as hard as she could at the thought of him.
"Girl if you don't stop worrying about that nigga! That's the reason we're going out, so you can forget about him. He wasn't thinking about you when he was out selling dope." Jazmine continued.
Tifari just sighed and grabbed her phone from the charger. "So don't worry about him, Tif. I promise we're gonna have a good time. Now spark up that blunt. We need to be high for this shit." Jazmine smirked, holding up a pre-rolled blunt before dancing to Upgrade You as it was the next song to play.
"See? Queen Bee even said fuck that nigga!" Tifari couldn't help but to laugh as she went into her nightstand and pulled out one of Abel's many lighters and tossed it to her as Jazmine turned up the music.
"I hear you be the block, but I'm the lights that keep the streets on Notice you the type, that like to keep them on a leash though I'm known to walk alone, but I'm alone for a reason Sending me a drink ain't appeasing, believe me Come harder, this won't be easy Don't doubt yourself trust me, you need me This ain't no shoulder with a chip, or an ego But what you think they all mad at me for?"
