Payton's POV

" I heard y'all was looking fa me. Wassup y'all!" I smiled as I approached TJ nem.

It's been a while since I've been at the store, so I had to come check TJ nem before I went to the meet Shiesty nem.

" We sholl was. We miss you bruh!" Byron said as he hugged me.

" I missed y'all too." I said.

" Mane, yo ass went ghost on us. Hell, fa a minute I thought you stopped fucking with us." Zay said.

" Yeah, P where the fuck you been at?" TJ fussed.

I smacked my lips, " Mchttt, now y'all know better than that. I'ma always fuck with y'all lil bad asses. And ion know if y'all know or not. But my grandma passed away, so I've been dealing with that."

" I'm sorry to hear that Payton. You're grandma was always nice to us." Byron said.

" Damn, I'm sorry P." TJ said.

" I'm sorry fa ya loss P." Zay said in a sincere tone.

All 3 of them gathered around me hugging me tightly. I smiled, " Y'all it's ok. I'm good."

" We know." They said in unison as few seconds later they let go of me.

" And plus I've been busy working. Which is another reason why I haven't been around." I said as we leaned against the sto.

" Oh fa real? Where you work at, and how long you gone be working there since you gotta go to college in a few months? We'll come down to see you." Byron said.

" Fa right now I'm putting college on hold until I get myself together, and where I work at you won't be able to get in until you're 18. So thank God fa that." I laughed.

They all looked confused until TJ caught on. He made a face.

" Bruh, why you ask ha that?" Byron said elbowing him.

I busted out laughing cause I couldn't help myself, " If you knew how you looked you wouldn't make that face."

" Mane, P tell this nigga yeen stripping."

" I want y'all to hear it from my mouth, and not anybody else's mouth. Yes, I'ma stripper. It's not something, I plan on doing fa the rest of my life. Hopefully, y'all don't look at me differently. It's just until I get my life together." I said truthfully.

" We don't." Byron said.

" Yeah, just because you strip don't mean we look at chu any differently. Everybody got they own way of hustling, and coming from where we from. Shiddd, we gotta get it by any means." Zay shrugged.
