RIVER

When I tell y'all everybody and they Mama here I mean everybody and they Mama here.

This yard is full as fuck!!!

I have never met half of these people a day in my life.

Who knew Dalton was this big?

RIVER: YOUR UNCLE KNOWS EVERYBODY.

GAVIN: IT LOOKS THAT WAY.

RIVER: I'M FINNA GO STEAL ANOTHER BEER. I'LL BE BACK.

GAVIN: YOU DON'T HAVE TO STEAL BEER. JUST ASK UNCLE RAMON OR JAMES TO GIVE YOU ONE.

RIVER: BET.

Where was I....Oh yeah...

The food was banging.

My Aunt Brandy know she can cook.

JoJo on the other hand can't fry a fucking egg correctly.

Everybody looks like they're having a good time.

The DJ is blasting that old school rap and R&B.

The drinks are flowing left and right.

It's safe to say Grandma Viv and Grandma Vicky have had too many drinks.

They over there dancing and talking all kinds of shit.

Mom and Dad look like a bunch of teenagers kissing and loving all up on each other.

It's amazing how my folks keep the flame burning after all these years of being together.

I pray and hope I have that with River.

Kiara is off somewhere talking to Logan.

I wonder what that's all about.

Xander and Adam are still eating.

Those two have stomachs of steel.

Xander probably won't be going to school tomorrow due to a tummy ache.

TJ and Aaron are behaving themselves.

Not a cross word from either of them.

Maybe Aaron is getting the help he needs.

I certainly hope so.

He was once a sweet, humble person.

JoJo is trying his best to get Jordan's attention, but I think Jordan isn't interested. I'm finna go over and pick his brain.

I walked up on Jordan sipping on a margarita.

GAVIN: WHAT YOU DOING BRO?

JORDAN: JUST CHILLING. ENJOYING THE MUSIC AND THESE MARGARITAS.

GAVIN: WHAT YOU THINK OF JOJO?

JORDAN: WHY YOU ASK ME THAT?

GAVIN: I SAW Y'ALL TALKING EARLIER.

JORDAN: TRUTH? I FIND HIM TO BE KIND OF ANNOYING. HE'S TRYING TOO HARD TO GET MY ATTENTION. I DON'T FIND THAT ATTRACTIVE. IF HE WAS BEING HIMSELF INSTEAD OF TALKING ALL THAT CRAZY SHIT I'D PROBABLY CONSIDER IT, BUT THIS VERSION OF HIM ISN'T CUTTING IT.

GAVIN: JOJO IS NERVOUS. HE'S JUST TRYING TO MAKE A GOOD IMPRESSION, BUT SINCE HE'S NERVOUS HE'S TALKING RANDOM SHIT. HE LIKES YOU.

JORDAN: I KNOW HE'S INTERESTED IN  ME. IT SHOWS, BUT HE DOESN'T HAVE TO TRY SO HARD.
