It was the summer of '16 and Ameerah was in it for the long run. Her mother was done believing anything that came out her mouth, she knew it was a lie. Everyone knows not to believe a drug addict. Despite going through something when she was younger...
"Yeah that's what I thought. I'll call you later Odell." I said.
"Wait!" Duke said.
"What." I replied with an attitude.
"How long you gone be mad ma? I can't take this treatment from you. I need attention." He said.
"Well go get it from somebody else... like Eisha." I said rolling my eyes.
"Come on man." He said.
"I don't wanna talk to you anymore Duke. Where Ryan at?" I asked.
"I'm right here sis." He said taking the phone.
"Damn am I the only one who went home?" I asked.
"Yup." He said.
"Y'all staying down there for thanksgiving?" I asked.
"Yeah we was just gone chill but we got invited to yo friends little gathering. They said something about friends-giving." He said.
One thing about Summer and Kelsey is they gone be in them niggas faces.
My thing is nobody thought to tell me anything. Again. I was really getting sick of being out the loop.
"Oh... for real? Who all gone be over there?" I asked not really caring.
"Yo two homegirls and a few of our homeboys." He said.
"Before you say anything ma." Duke said. "I told them not to invite you."
"Why?" I asked with an attitude.
Cause who the fuck is he and why they listening to him?
"Because I knew how much you wanted to go home and spend time with ya ma.. maybe see ya pops too. I didn't want us to get in the way of that." He said. "We can always do it again next year."
Okay... that made sense a little bit.
"I guess." I said.
"You not mad right?" He asked.
"I guess not. Y'all straight." I said.
There was a knock at my door interrupting our conversation.
"Look Ima call y'all later on this week and see how this friends-giving thing went." I said.
"Aight. Text me back ma." Duke said.
"I'll think about it." I replied and hung up.
"Come in." I said.
The door opened revealing a childhood friend of mine, Malik.

"Oh wow. Is that Mj?" I asked sarcastically.
"The one and only. Come show a young nigga some love." He said with his arms out.
