"Mercedes I gotta do it." I tell her, pouring out all the liquor in my house.

"Oh my God D, it's not even that serious!" She cries on the couch.

"Yes the fuck it is." I continue to pour as she cries harder.

"I'll just go buy sum more." She sniffles, getting up.

I laugh because I hid all the keys in the house.

"Those were expensive." She whines, plopping back down in defeat.

"Don't come in this kitchen April." I warn her.

She continues to walk in making me smack my teeth.

"You didn't even pay for this." She tries to grab a bottle.

I snatch it away and walk her back to the living room.

"I'm almost done, chill." I say calmly.

Also I pour the last Hennessy bottle out, I lock up my expensive wine up in my safe.

"I can't fucking stand you!" She cries in a ball on the couch.

I didn't know it was this bad. She never seemed like an actual addict. She's so out of character now.

"I'm going somewhere, you wanna come?" I ask, sitting next to her.

She ignores me and walks upstairs. I shake my head and leave, making sure to lock the door.

I drove to Reyna's real quick. The door is unlocked so I walk right in.

"Did you kill him?" She asks me.

"Kill who?" I ask confused.

"Don't play dumb, I told you not to kill him!" She frowns.

I'm sick of bit-females lashing out on me when I'm tryna help them.

"He was beating you half to death, you thought I'd just let that shit slide?" I look at her dumb.

She looks away.

"How you still in love with somebody that threatened to kill your brother and put the other one in jail?" I tilt my head to the side.

"Okayyy I get it. I'm glad he dead but it still hurts, I really did love him. He was so good to me when we first started dating but then he changed out of the blue, I'm just confused. I just miss who he was was when we first started dating." She sighs.

"I know Rey." I shrug.

"How's the drug addict?" She asks, changing the subject.

"Stop disrespecting ha." I mug her.

"Look at you standing up fa yo girl." She rolls her eyes playfully.

"I wanna be wit her forreal." I say.

"Oh wow- you finna settle down with her of all hoes?" She scrunches her face up.

"Yes and the fuck about it?"

"What about Montana, she getting out of jail soon." She asks.

"Mane fuck her." I smack my teeth.

"You really love her?" She squints her eyes at me.

"Yea." I shrug.

"Damn... I'mma try to be nicer to Ms. Whitney Houston." She laughs.

"Don't compare Mercedes to her, she don't do coke." I mug her.
