Kay-
"When... was this ?" I asked and she sighed
"Are you mad ?" Ary asked
"I'm not mad I'm happy you at least told me." I told her and she looked away
"Not too long ago.. "
"So the pregnancy test situation... it wasn't for Janiya huh?" I asked and she nodded
"We've used protection of course but that situation was out of guilt.."
"I trust you.. but I want to make sure we keep everything right, if you agree gynecologist appointments I want try to force you on birth control or anything, that can be your decision." I told her
"I'll do both.. I don't want to make any mistakes.. nor do I want to make any... babies." She said and I lightly laughed
"Smart." I told her before pulling a bottle back over and I began refilling
"So like you're not mad, I'm not in trouble ?" She asked and I looked at her
"Some decisions aren't always.. for the parents Ary. I'm just glad that you told me instead of holding it. All ima tell you is be careful, there's no such thing as a virginity a virginity is you, so just because you gave it up to one person it doesn't mean you're free to give it to another. Always think before you do which I know you will." I told her before holding her hand and she raised her eyebrows
"Thank you." She told me and I gave her a small smile
"So by 'we've' been using protection does it mean y'all have done this more then once?" I asked before taking a sip of my wine and she hit me with a kitchen towel
"Bye ma." She laughed
"Was it in my housee?" I asked and she busted out laughing harder
"It was not, byeee ma." She said before going upstairs and I shook my head.
How you react in certain situations are important, and I can't say I learned that the hard way because I didn't.. I learned it from me because that was all I ever wanted, for somebody to shut the fuck up and listen to me sometimes, so I've always made sure to listen to my daughters, it's not my job to decide.. it's my job to listen and parent.
...................................
I pulled up to Trey's house and Jd's car was parked outside along with another.
I sighed before getting out the car and I hesitated but I continued to knock.
After a minute Jd answered and he looked down before stepping aside and letting me in.
Once I walked inside I saw my daddy sitting down with his girlfriend Joy.
I cleared my throat before looking at Trey and he shook his head
"Get out Kay."
"That is still yo sister so respect her." My daddy said and I shook my head
"It's fine daddy he doesn't need to have that as a excuse to respect me." I said before looking at him
"I'm helping yo baby mama with her case." I told him
"Am I suppose to praise you ? Thank you at that ?" He asked
"Nah, cause I'm doing shit differently here, I don't expect nothing in return for my loyalty, and I'm not doing this shit for you in doing it for my nephew." I told him and he chuckled
"Your nephew ? You ain't do shit for my son but give him the life that I wanted him far away from." He said and Jd looked at me
"I didn't do that, you not being here to be a father to him did. I did my part, you half did yours."I said before turning around and my dad grabbed me causing me to snatch away
"Can we all just chill and talk this shit out ?" He asked and I shook my head
"No.. and you can choose his side like you always do, 'daddy'" I said before quotating my fingers and walking away.
Ary-
I heard the doorbell ring and I sighed before getting up from the couch and pausing the show I was watching. I looked out the window first and I answered the door to Kaliyah.
"Hey Kk." I said and she smiled before pulling me into a hug
"Wassup niece, I missed youu." She told me before continuing to hug me
"Where's everybody ?" She asked and I shrugged
"My ma just left not too long ago, Jr went out to clear his head, and My daddy's been gone with Brian all day." I explained
"And Liyah?" She asked and I looked at her
"What's going on ?" She asked and I sighed
"Tell me." She said before furrowing her eyebrows
We sat down and I began explaining to her everything that went down and she shook her head.
"Why didn't Kay say anything? I could've been on it." She sighed
"Pretty sure she doesn't want yo crazy tail self around here making things more stressful." I said and her mouth dropped
"Who's she with ?" She asked
"I... I don't know." I shrugged and she tilted her head at me
"Good for them, not for me. You're her twin sister who's she with ?" She asked again and I sighed
"I think she went with her ex Marcus." I admitted
"The little boy that put his hands on her ?" She asked and I nodded
"Oh no, yeah we got to get her ass back home." She said before getting up and I pulled her back down
"Don't say anything, I feel like I owe it to her to let her do her, plus if my daddy find out that'll be his last straw with Marcus and that'll be the last straw for Liyah." I explained
"You a good one, cause I would've snitched faster then the sun came up." She said and I rolled my eyes
"I'm mad." I sighed and she pulled me into a hug
"Feel how you want to feel, but that's still your sister babygirl."
The door opened to My daddy and he looked at Kaliyah before scratching his head.
"Hoe." He mumbled
"Bitch." She mumbled back and they both started laughing before she got up to hug him
"You missed me ?" She asked
"I did nottt." He groaned
"You missed meee." She smiled and I lightly laughed
"If yo little ass don't stop hanging on my neck like a damn monkey." He told her before she finally let go
"What we eating ?" She asked before going around the kitchen island And my daddy smacked his teeth
.........................
I woke up to voices downstairs, but I ignored it and attempted to g back to sleep. It got louder and I sighed before pulling my cover over my head as groaning.
My door opened and Ari came in.
"We've babysitted y'all's bad ass dog long enough, take it or shelter it." She said before putting her down and I rested my head back.
She went in the corner and began to lift her leg up to pee and I smacked my teeth.
"Princess !" I yelled before rubbing my head
I sighed before getting up and I walked out the room to see everyone downstairs.
"Good morning, I was just telling them how you should come down with me and Kaliyah for a few days since they lost a whole child." He said before looking at my ma and she rolled her eyes
"I'm not sending my daughter no where that she doesn't want to be, we got her." My daddy said
"Apparently not, She wouldn't mind, would you ?" He asked before looking at me and I broke eye contact
"Let's talk." He said and I rolled my eyes
"I'm good." I mumbled
"Ary-
"She said she's good." My daddy interrupted and he put his hands up in surrender
"You know what, it's fine daddy." I told him before following him outside and I crossed my arms
"You'd like Atlanta, you'd meet so many new people and it'll only be for a few weeks." He said and I looked at him
"You and I both know why I wouldn't want to go away with you." I said and he furrowed his eyebrows
"Ary.."
"No shut up." I interrupted and he looked away
"You kept me quiet for years, you traumatized me and you got the balls to walk up in here every once in a while and think I was the same little girl that you molested, I'm good." I told him while looking in his eyes and he looked at me with guilt
"I wasn't myself that night, I was drunk and off my ass, I didn't mean it and you know that, I love you." He said while trying to grab my arm but I moved away
"That... that wasn't love. You convinced me that that was the only reason for what you did but I can only imagine what you put Kaliyah through." I said before shaking my head and he furrowed his eyebrows
"I'm so sorry Ary." He said and I looked down.
"Yeah well you look sorry." I mumbled before crossing my arms
"The only reason why I still say nothing till this day is because this family is dysfunctional and toxic enough, but what you're not gonna do is convince them to get me alone with you so I can become even more traumatized.. I'm good." I told him and he looked at me before I started to walk inside
"Ary.." he sighed
Everyone has that one secret that they don't share with not a single soul... and this was mine. That man would come up to get me me and Liyah for summer break and he would get high, but not high off of weed... high off of crack, pills, anything that kept him satisfied and that included me.
I've always been the quiet one, and he took that to his advantage, cause he knew I didn't have the courage to speak up anyways.. I'll never forget how he molested me that night and tried to switch up the story the next day blaming it on his highness, but it ain't that much high in the world.
So now every time I get asked if I want to go with him ? It's a instant no. It's shit like that that's just unforgivable regardless of if it's been years or not. Time doesn't heal, space does.
I went back into the house and my ma was sitting alone at the kitchen island on her laptop.
"Are you busy ?" I asked her
"I'm handling stuff with this case but I'm listening, wassup ?" She asked before looking at me
"I know I have a bad history with these, but you remember those Anti depressant pills that were prescribed to me a while back ?" I asked and she looked at me
"Yeah why?"
"I've been thinking about getting a refill on them, they helped with stress and I don't want the stress that I've been having lately to overwhelm or anything." I said and she shook her head
"Ary you overdosed on those, there's no going back to that." She said and I nodded
"I know, but y'all can keep track of them if you Ltd worried, but that isn't my mindset anymore, I just don't want to fall back into that stage you know ?" I asked and she nodded
"I'll talk to your daddy, and if he disagrees we'll look into therapy instead, or both." She said and I nodded before looking down.
"What were y'all talking about ?" She asked
"Atlanta." I shrugged
.............................
Kash-
"She's not dumb enough o run off with Kyree, I think she actually learned her lesson on that one." I told Brian
"How you gon cut her off, and try to let her do you and you pressing me and my boys on finding her." Brian chuckled
"I mean I want to find my damn niece too but you switching up." He added
"It's not that, I just want to know who she with so I can beat his ass when she come back" I shrugged
"You know good and damn well if she ran off with a nigga, it's Marcus, should've known that from the jump." He said and I looked at him
"I forgot about that lil nigga." I said before pulling out my phone
"What you doing ?" He asked and I continued to scroll
"Search up Dianna Wright on yo Facebook" I told him and he did
"Who is this ?" He asked before showing me and I started to scroll before seeing pictures of Marcus on there
"I remember meeting her, this is one of his aunty's. I don't remember what happened to his parents but I remember he used to be with this aunty 24/7." I said and he nodded
"So.."
"Sooo let's go see if his ass told her where he was going or if he's there, she's south... not far ."I said before grabbing my keys And he followed
..............
Once we pulled up to her house she answered the door and raised her eyebrows
"Is it something else with Marcus that y'all got him into or something ?" She asked and I looked at Brian
"I apologize for that night, Marcus wasn't suppose to be in the mix of it." I said and she nodded
"What's going on ?" She asked before crossing her arms
"Have you heard from Marcus ?" I asked her and she furrowed her eyebrows
"He told me he was going back down to stay with y'all and Liyah for a while." She said and I sighed
"Well he took my daughter and they're gone somewhere." I said and she began to rub her head before letting us in.
"He took Aaliyah ?" She asked
"Well they ran off together." Brian said and she shook her head And I looked around
"Do you know anybody that he would run off too ?" I asked and she shook her head
"I'm all that boy got foreal, he has family in LA on his mom's side but he hasn't spoken to them in years... if anything Marcus would go somewhere where no one is, he's always been stubborn." She said and I nodded before getting up
"His family in LA, how long ago did they break contact ?" I asked
"A long ass time ago, I can't even remember." She said before shaking her head and I nodded before Brian got up also
"Just left me know if you hear back and I'll do the same." She said and I nodded before we left
"Now what ?" Brian asked
"We wait."
"Wait ?" He asked
"Something will come up , but I need to stop looking cause this shit isn't doing anything but making my blood boil." I said before getting into my car
"Where you going ? We had business at the club" Brian said and I nodded
"Jr has a match today and I've been worried about one and not the others, I'll be back in time." I told him before dapping him up and I began to pull off.
....................
I continued to watch jr as he showed his ass off in the ring, but shut wasn't looking good for neither of them. This had to be the most bloody one yet.
I went back over to his side once he went into his corner and started changing guards and he looked at me
"I don't know about this one." He said before shaking his head
"Shit he looks tough, you better beat his ass though I know that." I said and he chuckled before shaking his head
"I'm serious, all that anger that yo bipolar ass chooses to take out on everybody else, give it to him." I said before looking at him
He nodded before getting up and he waited for the go again before the two started circling each other.
The other dude got a good hit from the left and Jr fell back before getting up and he started going crazy. It took a few hard ass hits but after a while that nigga hit the floor cold and everybody started cheering as they started counting down, but he was out.
He was talented, and I would be lying if I said that I saw him where he was today because with didn't. He's growing though, and getting even better at this shit then I imagined. He definitely was going somewhere with it, I saw the dedication in that Nigga's eyes.
...............................
1 week later..
Liyah-
"You can sit over there with Aaliyah and she's gonna wash you down." Tamia guided and a woman began to walk over.
When I looked in her hair I noticed something moving so I stuck up comp inside and that shit was lice... I immediately dropped my mouth along with the comb and I pointed
"Teetee I can't." I said before shaking my head and she tilted her head before walking over and she raised her eyebrows before clearing her throat
She looked at me and we both curled in our lips trying not to break into laughter and I looked away.
"I'll handle this, go take a break." She told me and I nodded before going upstairs.
Marcus was on the phone so is stopped so I wouldn't interrupt his conversation.
"Look lil nigga, you're delusional and you're obsessed with her, I don't know why the fuck you blaming it on me."
....
"Regardless of if she with me or not it's not yo business nigga move around with that weird shit."
...
After a minute he turned around to see me and he looked at the phone
"Dont calm this number no more." He said before hanging up and I looked at him
"Who was that ?" I asked and he scratched his head
"Yo crazy ass ex Kyree." He said and I smacked my teeth
"He isn't my ex."
"Yo stalker or whatever the fuck he is, Ary must've said something to him because his ass was threatening me over you." He said and I sighed
"He's crazy." I said and he looked at me
"Did y'all do sum when I was gone ?"
"No why?" I asked before furrowing my eyebrows
"Just asking."he said and I went off into a silence
"You good?" He asked and I nodded
"I'm okay." I answered and he kissed my head before walking out
I heard music so I guessed that was my cue to get my ass back downstairs.
Once I was done Amoura was now where I was and I looked at Teetee.
"You can watch her for a while, she doing a treatment." She told me and I nodded before stepping aside as I watched
After she finished she cleaned the seat and turned the seat towards me causing me to raise my eyebrows
"Me?" I asked
"Girl I'm not that evil, I got you." She said before slightly pushing me into the seat and I cleared my throat
"But like-
Interrupting me she slightly sprayed the water on my head causing us both to lightly laugh
"You're natural right ?" She asked and I nodded before she dtarted putting water in my head
"Are you mixed with something ?"
"I don't know, my ma has a little Asian in her." I shrugged before closing my eyes
"Don't take this as a complement but you have a really good curl pattern I guess." She said and I raised my eyebrows
"So good as in bad ?" I asked and she sprayed my face again causing us to laugh again.
...............................
"Like it ?" She asked before turning my chair around
"It's... different." I said before feeling it
She had it slicked up into a top knot bun with two curls on the side. The top knot was made of straight tracks though because she didn't want to put too much heat on my hair
"You're welcome, now I got somewhere to be" she said before turning around and I moved out her chair
"Both of y'all did good today, take her with you." Teetee said and I raised my eyebrows Before we started talking at the same time
"You said you were just going to get ice cream, take her with you." Teetee said and we looked at each other before I looked at Marcus
"Go." He mouthed and I looked down before following her to her car
"Can you drive ?" She asked
"I can, just don't have a license yet." I said and she sighed
"You're seventeen without anything?" She chuckled
"I mean I have a permit, I was suppose to take my license test this month shit didn't go as planned." I shrugged and she nodded
"Well, I hope you know I'm not actually going to get ice cream." She said and I looked at her
"I'm getting a tattoo." She added
...........................
We layed on our sides beside each other before facing each and I sighed.
"You don't have to get it if you don't want too light skin." She mumbled
"Shit at this point I'm down for everything."
"and how you gon call me light skin when we both light skin ?" She asked and we both chuckled
"Do y'all want a drink?" The artist asked
"Do we not not look high ?" Amoura asked and we both started laughing before he shrugged and started prepping
"Why are you here ?" She asked and I looked away
"Long story." I sighed
"We got time."
"I felt overwhelmed with my family, it was fucking me up mentally.. I love them to death but it was like my daddy thought just because he had money over me that that was taking care of me and that that should give me a reason to let him decide everything over me, plus a lot of shit traumatized me." I explained
"So you ran away ?"
"Yea, but my city was already toxic as hell too, I had got into it one night with some girl and that was my last straw cause I knew my parents were gonna trip over that too." I said and she nodded
"So you had money, that explains why you so damn bougie." She chuckled
"I'm not bougie." I said before shaking my head
"You're bougie." She said and we both chuckled
"I want 'Alexis' tatted on my ankle with a few butterflies going around it." She explained
"And you ?" He asked me
" 'One Of Two' same place, but inner ankle." I told him and he nodded
"Butterflies ?" Amoura asked
"Yea why not." I shrugged before we heard the gun turn on
"How'd you and Marcus meet?" She asked
"School, we were in the same sport together so we had gotten close, we've been through a lot though." I said and she nodded
"He's sweet, don't hurt my cousin." She pointed and I shook my head before laughing
"Nah your cousin looked out." I said
"But we've talked about me what about you ?" I asked and she raised her eyebrows
"What about me?"
"I mean normally somebody doesn't just up and get a tattoo." She said and we both laughed
"I'm just numb to shit like this, I've been through enough, but I do this shit for my daughter ." She said and I nodded
"Don't take having a dad for granted though, I'd do anything to see mine wit his baldheaded ass." She said
"What happened?"
"Nothing, he's in the NFL, so he travels a lot, he has family in Atlanta though so he's been there for a while, but he comes back up here soon so." She said
"I do too." I told her And she furrowed her eyebrows
"You from Atlanta ?" She asked and I nodded
After a minute I felt the needle hit my skin and I flinched
"Don't be a pussy." She told me and we both laughed.
.........................
Ary-
"So y'all still haven't gotten my niece a car yet ?" Kaliyah asked
"She can take one of ours whenever, but we were trying to wait until Liyah got her license so we can get them together, you still in our business ?" My daddy asked and she smacked her teeth
"No, y'all are just trying to get something expensive, I don't want anything big just a white Altima." I told him and he nodded
"We got you."he told me before kissing my head
"Well I think I think me and Joy are gonna head back in town." My grandaddy said before looking at me and I looked away
"Why so soon ?" My name asked before hugging him
"We had just wanted to check up on Trey, we'll be back up soon though, Kaliyah you staying ?" He asked
"Brought my car up for a reason." She said and he nodded before waving and leaving
"I don't know what bit him in the ass." Kaliya mumbled
"I think he really just wanted to spend time with Ary, but shit I'm not gonna keep sending her off of my hands." My daddy said and Kaliyah got up
"Ima shower." She said before getting up and going upstairs
After she was gone my nails continued to out food up before she looked at My daddy.
"Ary wants a refill on the anti depressants." She told him and he looked at me
"Wait why ?" He asked and I looked down
"Just to have them, they did help with stress and I don't want to fall back into the stage that I was in." I said and he looked at my ma
"I don't want you to depend on medication to be happy Ary.." he sighed and I nodded
"I know, but one more refill wouldn't hurt hurt at all, just until everything's fully back straight with me, plus if I have too I'll do therapy with it." I said and he nodded
"We'll talk to your doctor about it tomorrow, but yea you're gonna do therapy too ok?" He asked and I nodded
"Let the dog out." My ma said and I looked at the front door to see princess waiting.
"She wants to act right around yall like she didn't pee in my corner earlier." I mumbled before going to the door and I let her out before following. As she ran around the yard another car pulled in the driveway and a man that I didn't even know got out
My daddy had came outside and he smiled before they both sapped each other up
"Wassup Zayvion, bout time yo ass made it up here." My daddy told him and he nodded
"I told you I was gonna be up here foreal to discuss business about that club, I know you got to shit together with it." He said and my daddy nodded before he looked at me
"Damn she done got big, which one is this one?" He asked
"Ary, You can tell the difference from they moles nigga. She got one on her Nose, and Liyah got one on her cheek." My daddy said and he chuckled and I slightly waved
"Kay told me she saw you not too long ago down in Atlanta, you down there for good or you still in LA?" My daddy asked
"I'm still in LA, I been planning on moving to Atlanta, but daughter up there and the family she with now is all she got." He said and my daddy nodded
"Shit I feel you, come inside and I'll call Brian over so we can talk about this shit on the club." My daddy said and they both went inside.
My phone started to ring and by this time I had this damn number memorized.
"Kyree, I'm telling my paps, I'm so done with playing with you" I answered
"You want yo sister back or not ?" He asked and I smacked my teeth
"Nigga bye."
"You know she's with Marcus. I want that nigga gone, help me find them and you'll find Liyah in the process." He said and I raised my eyebrows
"Are you like... mental ?" I asked
"Yea from the bitch that tried to off herself.." he said and I cleared my throat
"Took that too far, bye Kyree." I told him
"Ary in serious, help me find this nigga." He said and I shook my head
"Move on bruh, you're loosing yo shit."I told him before hanging up
I looked over at Princess who was now in the neighbors yard taking a shit and my eyes went wide
"Get yo ass over here." I said through gritted teeth and she had came over causing me to lightly laugh.
........................
Kash-
We pulled up to the club and Zayvion started to take a look around. He wanted a partnership on it, and I trusted this nigga, I've been knowing him since high school, he was my dawg.
"What kind of partnership you looking for ?" I asked him
"What if we had a few performances up in here about every Friday night ?" He asked and Brian raised his eyebrows
"That's a lot of attention on the club and we already got something running up through here" Brian said And he chuckled
"I didn't hear that, and as far as I know this is strictly a night club." He said and I nodded
"Performances from who ?" I asked
"I looked into another partner with a small music label, their willing to cut extra cash in for their artist to perform here and get a name out." He explained
"Man as long as it ain't none of that country shit.." Brian said
"Nah, his artist are good, I wouldn't come to y'all if they weren't cause I know y'all Pilsner have been going." He said and I nodded
"So what's in it for you ?" I asked and he looked at me
"Forty-five percent." He said and I raised my eyebrows
"Damn nigga forty five???" Brian asked
"From the money that y'all gon be making, it won't even cut a portion." He said and I nodded
"Thirty five and you got a partnership." I told him and he nodded before shaking my head
"Deal."
His phone started to ring Nd he looked at it before answering
"I'm kind of busy, wassup Amoura ?"
