POV: Flau'jae
Location: Atlanta

"Flau-, let me talk to you" Jabari told me while stopping me when I was making my way back from the bathroom

"You aren't trying to set me up-, are you?" I asked him and he laughed

"No bro" he told me

I looked at him skeptically before we both went outside.

"What's up?" I asked him

"I owe you an real apology"

"You know -, from everything that we have been through together " he told me

"We have been through so much Bari"

"That is why it hurts too see the way that you turned out" I told him

"I feel responsible for your drinking problem " he told me

"I'm good now" I told him

"I still had you around all of that when I knew the affects that it had on you"

"Flau'jae you went down an whole different path in your life" he told me

"I was getting you deeper into the streets just because I felt like I didn't want to go through that path alone" he told me

"Do you remember when we all met?" I asked him

"Ms. Sampson class" he told me while smiling and I nodded

"You were so outspoken"

"You had everybody laughing the whole time" I told him and he laughed

"Because bruh-, she used to pick on me for no reason " he told me

"Jabari if I hear one more joke from you-, I am calling your mother" we both mocked her voice before we started laughing

"You and kilo were always together " he told me

"That is because she was shy" I told him

"You still be in them books though"

"I be seeing you" he told me

"Got too"

"I am getting far away from here" I told him

"You have to take me with you" he told me

"I want too"

"You have to want that for yourself" I told him

"I do"

"I promise you that I do" he told me while looking me in my eyes

"I am tired of watching my back"

"I want to be happy Flau'jae " he told me

"These niggas aren't my friends"

"I still be wanting to be with you and Kilo to this day" he told me

"And you can be"
