Before the party had ended for me I found Ro and made sure to tell him Nae was looking for him, and I also made it an issue to tell her about Lyn when he found her but— shit he told me he already new.
So I left with a heavy ass drunk ass heart, I went to sleep asking Ashtin if she'd made it back but got no answer that was around 1 ish— now then it was 8 in the morning and at it was sweet you know I get a morning text from Ron.
Then I see all these Royal pain notifications and there all about Nae.
And where the fuck is she.
It's going on 12 now and I'm still tryna get the story wrapped around my fucking head.
I was on the way to the trap but I'm making detours now.

Once he answered the phone I went dumb, I mean not only was I hot as fuck son, I was livid!! He had me so fucked up, how can you fuck the same girl in the same day—I TOLD YOU TO BREAK UP WITH NAE! I mean that bitch is the whole reason he was in that position any fucking ways.
I mean at first I though it was weird she was at the party when she called me cause one she said she wasn't going. HELL MADE A SPEECH, A WHOLE DEBATE about not going. Then showed up with the bitch that cheated on her—-he was suppose to break up with her...
I was planning on going to her house today to tell her to drop his bitch ass bitch, but he did the work for me. AND THAT LYN BITCH!
That bitch don't even know what the fuck coming for her skeeza ass. Dirty ass hoe.
" YOU KNOW WHAT LEAVE THAT FUCKING WINDOW OPEN BITCH!" I hung up the phone.
~
"So tell me what the fuck." I sat down from being hostile five minutes ago when I came threw the window. He folded his arms and sat at the end of the room while I sat on the trunk on the end of his bed.
"We was at the party. I guess she was looking for me, ready to go since she called me a couple times, but Ian hear em." His head hung low in shame.
"And why was this?" I asked with my arms folded as I tried to call Nae. Again no reply. "Cause you was fucking somebody. Where was you phone? On the floor." I pointed around him. His jaw flinched, "My jacket on a chair."
"Was the ringer on?" My nose flared knowing that Ro always kept that dumb ass ringtone on blast every fucking where. His eyes rolled and I got my answer. Angry I threw my phone at his head, he dodge it so I ran up on him hitting him all in his shit.
He grabbed me slamming me on his bed going to his favorite defense to get me to stop by grabbing my arms and putting them over my head. "GET ME OFF THIS NASTY ASS BED!!"
"I cleaned everything—-"
"ION GIVE A FUCK!" I looked him dead in his eyes, "YOU NEED A WHOLE NEW FUCKING BED SET!" I scoffed turning from looking at him, "How many bitches you was fucking in here when I was sleeping in it?" I then looked at him to see him smirking, "Cause thats the ultimate disrespect; even for you considering dusty, nasty neck ass nigga; I really can't stand you." I finished once he let me go.
"Ian start fucking bitches in it until after I was so called done with you." He grabbed a rice crispy from his snack drawer, "I had to get you off my shit. My pillows smelled like you, my sheets smelled
like you. Nigga I had to get me on it! And I fuck, can't blame me!"
"Nigga." I scoffed rolling my eyes, "One day you gone have a baby with a bitch you don't want and she gone ruin ya life forever!!" He laughed before scratching his head. I rolled my eyes grabbing his keys.
He gasped, "Where you going?"
"Unless you wanna take me; Im going to Granny Pat's to see if Jonae is there." I couldn't even look at bro, "You coming?" I asked.
He sniffled, "Yeah lemme get dressed i'm parked in the front. I'll meet you down there." Nodding at him I left out the escape.
When getting down I fixed my self, before making my way up to the front of the building seeing Ro's red car, and the entrance to hell.
I rolled my eyes and opened the doors, when I get enough i'm getting tinted windows. See through make me uncomfortable for some odd reason.
Not even three minutes later, Ro was down and coming to his car. Once he got in I gave him his keys and put on my seat belt looking back at the building once again, before Ro pulled off. This detour brought me back on the right route again. Now it's time to see how Jonae's doing and what the fuck is up with her phone.
~
As he parked I took off my seat belt eager to get out, openning the door I turned to look at him and he didn't even take off his seat belt. "What you doing?" I asked him.
He shrugged, "She'on wanna see me." He concurred. "Just text me when its time, and I'll tell you when to buzz me in."
Agreeing to his plan since it sounded at least a little bit smart, I got out the car and closed the door behind me going up to the entrance to the building rushing the button under her granny's name a couple times. It was going on 1:30 so I knew nobody was sleep; I mean not unless Pat was taking a catnap or whatever, but Ashtin thats a different story unless the bitch has a hangover.
Finally I got buzzed in without response and walked into the building with pleasure. The mild walk up the stairs was nothing compared to the aching comfort I wanted to give to my bestfriend. Now that i'm thinking about it I should've just told her when I first seen that bullshit.
I knocked on the door and Ashtin opened the door with a frown. I smiled, "Rough night."
"Girl..." She opened the door and started to walk to Nae's room. "You don't even know." I closed the door behind me and peeked into the living room seeing Pat watching tv. I went in and hugged her, "Hi granny Pat-"
"Don't hey Granny Pat me, where Jonae at?" Oop, ok sis.
I frowned, "I thought she was here."
"Nope, she left from this house with that boy and didn't come back. Now I don't know what them kids was up to cause she'on tell me nothing, but I trust you with my granbaby ya hear me?" She grabbed my forearm with hurt beaming through her scary old lady demeanor right now lowkey fucking scary me.
"You better find her Milan." She let me go, "Ashtin stupid ass ain't gone say nothing, for her blind ass don't know shit just like her trifling ass daddy." She shook her head, "Jonae the only real sane one. I neeeeed that one." She looked at her picture on the frame, "You better find her."
I nodded, "I will." Giving her a hug anyway that I was lowkey shaking in my boots, "She ain't nowhere far." I pulled away and walked away rubbing my ear trying to control myself. I walked into her room seeing Ashtin sitting on her bed eating ritz on her phone constantly scrolling.
I was kinda annoyed at the fact she didn't notice Nae was gone, or at least wasn't worried, but thats probably not even the case, she prolly does know where she is.
Unless she don't—"Did you see Nae last night?" I asked tilting my head a bit.
She looked up at me with confusion, "Nah. I left after you, I thought she left with you."
"She didn't leave with you."
"No, I thought she left with him when she wasn't returning my calls." I sat on the bed, "Did you see her any time last night besides the point when we all met up? Do you remember her with somebody else other than us?" Like, the fact the bitch acting like shit normal not cool to me. Nae got a background but that running away shits done.
She got me to run too, so I'm lost.
"Yeah other then Ro, I seen her with that one nigga."
"What nigga, bitch damn!?"
"Girl." She rolled her eyes at me, "Bitch don't make me put my hands on you shits very serious, and you acting like you don't care."
"Cause Nae does shit like this." She shrugged aggressively, "like how long have you known her."
"Bitch—
"Ight whatever Lan, cause you really dragging it at this point okay." She then looked to the sky tryna figure out who he was, "He was cute and they was drinking a little. She looked lit." She shrugged again, "She prolly wit him Ion know why everybody so worried, Nae prolly just spending a night—-"
"Nae ain't gone let nobody fuck her, be serious Ashtin! IT'S 1:43 IN THE AFTERNOONNNN! She would've been here by now." I took her phone out her phone.
She looked at me and folded her arms, "What do you want me to do? I already told you all I know."
"DO YOU KNOW THE NIGGA'S NAME, BITCH!" I blew up, "The nigga friends? You prolly know em. You know every nigga."
She scoffed,"Tell me how you really feel."
"Im just saying, you know niggas. You prolly know this one bitch. Stop acting stupid and use yo brain. Did you see him with anybody else you know?"
She tilted her head at me and licked over her teeth. "He was lightskinned, he had tattoos but they were on his arms." She snaked her head as she began to think about it for once in this whole conversation. "Ouu I did see him with Ro too though, but it was minimum when Nae was gone; it looked like it was getting heated cause Nae and bro was dancing mad close and what not. But then some girl that looked just like bro broke it up i'm talking-like twins." She smirked playing with her nails.
"Twins?" I thought, "Naomi got a brother thats lightskin, you think it's him?"
"Nah he looked grown as fuck, like Kirko Bangz or some bitch." Ashtin laughed, I rolled my eyes smirking. "But then again Nae liked grown niggas, come on I remember the address." She started to grab shit.
I frowned, "Nae liked grown niggas?" Folding my arms I watched as Ashtin got dressed.
She nodded, "Well she liked boys that was like 3 years up, 2 years. But it was nothing until she met this one boy one time at this party we went too. You know the one we crashed—-"
"Yeah the one you was talking bout yesterday."
"Exactly now that nigga was a creep—-"
"You think he got Nae."
She shrugged. "Oh no she got his ass locked up a while back, before she got sent to juvie."
I'm shocked, "She didn't tell you none of that?"
"Girl no." I shook my head, "You remember his name."
"Something like Clayton or something like that I think. I could show him to you better. "
Five minutes later we were down stairs and walking to Ro's car. I got in the front of course and she in the back, Ro looked back at her and waved like he couldn't talk, but thats how he is with new people anyway.
"Where Nae? What she say?" He asked me.
I smacked my lips, "She wasn't there. She might be back at the house where the party was."
"Cap—she wasn't there." He shook his head rapidly.
"She prolly went back shit I don't know we gotta start somewhere!" I stressed sighing hard as fuck, "Come on. Drive to the house nigga no questions just go."
"But—-"
"No Ro just do it please." I exclaimed, "You don't even deserve to ask no questions."
Starting the car finally he scoffed, "Fine." I looked back at Ashtin and she was looking not only surprised, but confused. I found it best if she didn't know until we found Nae, maybe it's better that way.
~
"You coming now?" I asked once he'd parked once again at a different location. He looked and nodded unbuckling his seatbelt as me and Ashtin did the same. Getting out I straightened out my shirt and closed the door looking about my surroundings as Ashtin went and rang the door bell. Ro and me followed suit, it didn't take but one more ring for us to get a response.
From Naomi herself, one look at Ro she was pissed. "So you bring yo sister and her best friend to my house for yo hoe ass girlfriend! Cause if you bitches wanna pop off my sister not but two rooms down baby—-"
"First off bitch you better calm down nobody came down to this busted ass crack house to fight you bitches cause if even I wanted to POP OFF I would've did it as soon as I seen you YESTERDAY!" I started before Ashtin started, "And second bitch my cousin ain't a hoe you can catch yo one right now."
"Y'all need to chill!" Ro pushed us both back behind him. He sighed before looking at Naomi, "Ian tryna start no prolems ight. I just need to know if my girlfriend here?"
"You mean Lyn or that other thot-"
"Bitch!" Me and Ashtin both tried to get her, but Ro kept us behind him surprisingly, "That Lyn bitch gone get hers how you know her?" I began to ask, Ro yelled.
"Shut the fuck up Milan! This ain't about you or you Ashley-"
"Ashtin-"
"Ion give a fuck." He shut that shit down, I snickered. "Look Naomi is the other girl here...The one yo nigga was on—-"
"My brother, and no that bitch left."
"One mo gin." I promised.
"When she leave?"
"Ion fucking know, I know she left tight as fuck. Looking like the Lake Lady, or some shit." She chuckled, " Like she caught her nigga fucking another bitch in my room or something—-" Popping off I reached for her shirt and yanked her hard as hell making her clash straight into Ro.
As soon as she got outside I let her go just to do damage mopping this bitch face in, trying to keep my balance since she was tryna swing back and Ro was lowkey tryna break up to the fight that was going on, on this bitch's porch-
I mean it wasn't even a fight, it was more assault after I kicked that bitch down them stairs-
Just then another bitch, and a nigga came out. I suppose it was her bro and her sister..Her sister ran up but Ashtin mopped her shit and now we both were fighting these bitches cause I wasn't done bitch I'm Snap. "Ayo word to my dead bitch, you, lyn hoe ass, and yo sister can get bodied bitch." I spit a fat ass loogy on the side of her face as Ro grabbed me up by my stomach walking me to the car.
I laughed the whole way there, "That felt good bitch."
"Dumbass hoe!" Ashtin yelled ratchet as fuck while Ro tried to put me in the car.
I was just teasing that Naomi bitch and her sister while they brother made them go in the house.
She was madddd she was mad as hell and I was too- only difference was I was smiling. "HAVE FUN FINDING THAT HOE ASS BITCH YOU CALL YO GIRLFRIEND!!" She waved.
"AYE AND IMA HAVE A FUN ASS TIME HUNTING YOU TOO BITCH!" I banged throwing up my set calling that a promise, "You and Lyn bitch, remember that."
"Yep, I will." She smirked as Ro began to stuff me in the car. He buckled me up and slammed the door. I laughed, "I can't wait for Lyn."
Ro finally got in the car slamming his door, "FUCKKK!" He expressed, "Y'ALL TRIFLING AS FUCK! LEARN WHEN NOT TO FIGHT! Had to yo my blick on her brother cause bitches feeling froggy what type of shit is that my nigga?"
"You sound scared." I rolled my eyes saying out of breath like a muhfucka, you hear me. "Can you go to the store?"
"Fuck no, stay dehydrated."
I mugged him all in the side of his face, "Like you mad for no reason like, real shit I should be fighting you." I huffed turning to him all the way, "You the reason bitches even in this predicament."
"What the fuck was she even talking about?" Ashtin intervened, "Ro you cheated on my cousin?"
"You know what it doesn't even matter!" He yelled as he began to drive. "That shit over with call Nae again and see if she found a fucking charger or at least home or something."
I sighed and began tryna call Nae again and Ashtin called Pat. No from both ways. I sat back in the seat, when I felt Ro touch my hand. "Nae's smart ight. She's gonna come home..."
"Yeah okay but where would she be except home?" Ashtin asked us, "You her only friend-you were her only nigga!"
"It's funny bitches acting like they care now."
"Bitch she's my cousin-"
"Ok and bitch!" I huffed, "you wasn't doin allat when I was asking yo questions, so don't do us bitch. Let's not, for real."
I sighed and put my face in my hands feeling chills run up my spine as my phone rang calling Cakes to see if she went there.
Cakes thought I was crazy and I felt myself loosing hope cause niggas are weird creeps and for all I know Nae is for sure dead.
Stop thinking like that.
We all know the truth.
I wiped my eyes, "We're gonna find her. She's ain't gone that far." Ro said as he stopped at a stop light, "You gotta have faith in these things."
"It's just not like Nae to do some like this...she wouldn't run away now. She's in a good place." Ashtin argued as I tried not to cry trying to keep hope.
"I know—-"
"Then what the fuck." She put her phone down finally,
I leaned on the window, "I don't have the answers right now. We just gotta keep looking."
"Us three ain't gone do something," Ro concurred, I nodded. "I know."
"Let's go to the police?" Ashtin suggested, we both looked at her. "It'll get the story out. She'll know we looking for her and she'll come back."
"Yeah but those take at least a day to be considered missing. And me and Popo ain't friends."
"You cleared right?" She asked me, "Done with Probabtion and you off of house arrest obviously what you scared of?"
"Ian scared—-"
"Ight then." Ro looked at me, "I been looking for her since last night that gotta count for something, and you know ion fuck with them, but she right. We gone need help anyway. This ain't like her, at all. We got do it."
I sighed and rolled my eyes, "Okay, for Nae."
"Yay, i'll call Pat and tell her we coming to get her." Ashtin spoke, I nodded as Ro pulled off.
We'll find her.

Days on looking for Nae went on to become weeks and then weeks had turned into a whole month and Mi was loosing her brain.
People didn't believe Nae was alive and on and once upon winning her trial against homegirl with Yayas help, it was like that didn't matter at all.
All she could think of was Nae, during the whole thing she didn't even care if she was guilty or not.
Even with Ron back home she didn't wasted time not looking for Nae, she could care less about school too.
Even the block could tell, she was there but you could see she was there for one thing and that only. To get money.
Not gone hold you, the police work was dry ever since they found a couple leads that led to nowhere but sign of struggle that then led to nothing.
Mi just thought of the worst, frequently going to different alleys, she even toured through enemy hoods looking for the remains of her friend, but that even went nowhere.
She couldn't believe this was her story, niggas she knew that had died, died one day and every one knew that he was dead that day.
She heard of niggas going missing, but no one close to her had until now.
Hanging out with Ashtin had decreased as the search for Nae had increased and the search is still on, it's just the police want something to come to them.
Mi ass was all in the news with Granny Pat looking for Nae, she slept over sometimes and watched over Pat.
Pat was falling apart and it was nothing Mi could do but hold on to the hope that Nae would come back.
She felt like a 7 year all over again.
Except this time she hadn't shed any real tears and she pretended to be numb about it— real shit her soul broke every time she read the old text threads waiting for her name to pop up randomly—
Her gut told her that wasn't gone happen.
She was convinced it was Karma with a capital K.
Having fun wasnt what she felt like doing- she couldn't celebrate until he bestfriend was with her granny. Safe.
"Girl I know yo ass ain't in this bitch sulking hoe!" Sammy loud, drunk, happy go lucky ass came barging in the room, Mi groaned annoyed pulling the cover over her head just as Sammy pulled that bitch back. "Stop playing with me, what's yo problem it's Giovanni glow day!"
I know what day it is bitch, Mi thought absentmindedly but said, "I don't feel like it."
"Milannnnnnn." Sammy cooed at her friend who she looked at as her little sister, "Stop being like that the whole hood is here and you crying-"
"I'm not crying-
"Bitchhhhhhhhhh come onnnnnnn!" Sammy shook her forcefully, "please do it for Nae ass, her happy ass wouldn't want you, in this bed girl, sulking in bullshit." Sammy laughed as she struggled pulling Mi up.
"Sammy oh my god can you please stop bro-
"Sammy what you doing leave her alone." Fi said coming in to save her, Mi thanked the lord but Fi wasn't stopping shit for real. "Leave her alone."
"No bitch not today I'm drunk, and if I'm drunk her sad ass gone get up and get drunk with me!"
"Sammy stop like ion have the right clothes on right now to be going out there with all them niggas chill!" Mi was getting mad the more she told this bitch to stop pulling on her and grabbing on her, in a second she was gone have to run one with drunk Sammy and she honestly didn't want too.
You think Snap crazy- the bitches she hang wit are weirder.
"Put this on and stop playinggggggg!" Sammy threw some more casual then sleepable cause Mi was dressed for sleep not to be partying but she was also annoyed as fuck so she quickly did what that bitch wanted so she could leave her alone.
As soon as she done they cheered her on and upon leaving out the room, she heard niggas greeting her and she got her dayones making her take waterfalls from whatever they had in the cups.
She only took some from the people she knew, Fo and G5 were more happy to see her taking the shots themselves.
G mostly cause like it's his fucking birthday, he got on the mic as she tried to stay out the way cause she knew how these extra niggas got, "AYO MY NIGGA MY SIS IN THIS BITCHHHHHHHHHH YA HURDDDD! AYE CAKES I KNOW YOU GOT SOME HONEY BUNS IN THIS BITCH! I know you do!"
Boy, Mi laughed at him she was happy he was having a good day hell he's officially legal now, it's only right he good.
Cakes lended her house out for a price but for the most part the house was still in one piece, and shit was good.
She had smoked and drank some more danced and played a couple games, but in the end she was tired.
It'd only been a couple hours too. "So you Snap for real?"
"Yeah I guess," she shrugged the girl voice off, not tryna be weird but she didn't want to be talked to.
"I heard about you I just thought you was a Nigga." Mi dropped the attention from her phone and turned to the girl squinting, "Do I know you girl?"
"I'm Bubbles." She smiled shrugging, "I think we go to the same school too."
"You think we go to the same school?" Mi scoffed not believing a word this bitch was saying. This girl knows Mi, and she knows they go to school together, she was just tryna make small talk.
"I mean I just transferred there."
Mi was pretty and Bubbles wanted more pretty friends you can't really blame her.
But didn't want no new friends right now.
"Why?"
"I got kicked out my old school."
"Mmm that's tough." Just then Mi's phone had rang dropping her heart. It was nobody but Ro.
She was scared it was Pat.
She answered his face time as he sat in the car drunk out his mind- at least that's what it looked like first glance but he was crying and for a Nigga like Ro-
Mi knew it was something cause Ro don't cry for no bullshit, "What Ro why you looking like that?" She was spaced out but she didn't waste no time going all the way to the back where Cakes room had resided.
Cakes looked at Mi like she was crazy as she busted in changing the channels to every news casting channel she knew of- after all, all Ro was saying was turn on the news.
Mi was so spaced out she didn't even noticed her whole kin was in the room with her- watching the same
"It breaks our hearts to interrupt your daily broadcasting with this terrible news tonight, but the on going search for Jonae Stevens has sadly come to an end, after the long 3 week search for her the fifteen year old was found in the rock debris of the Harlem River after two pedestrians found her body..."
Mi heard every word loud and clear. And they made her sick.
They made her angry.
They made her sad dude.
But it wasn't what you thought, it wasn't how anybody thought. Mi didn't react how people thought she would, they thought Snap would come out.
But as Mi cried silently just listening to the news and getting hugged by Cakes, she was just Lani at that point.
The numb bitch she hated. She did even say nothing once she heard the anchors first words "it breaks our hearts" she knew what that meant all too fucking well. All she did was hang up on Ro.
She sat there in silence for a whole hour crying silently, hot tears stained Cakes' shoulder before she let go of her hug.
Cakes looked concerned, her heart going out ten times for her but she didn't say nothing either knowing Mi all too well.
Mi- well Lani grabbed Cakes' keys not saying a word as Cakes asked her where she was going.
She bypassed everybody not caring how the tears fell down her face as she made her way to the car. Everybody was having fun still while her spirit was breaking the more she walked.
She felt like she was holding a breath when she noticed Fiona was walking up to her and asked, "Why you crying ma?"
Lani wasn't even thinking as she forcefully made Fi let her wrist go and unlocked the door, before she got in the car.
She didn't even know where she was going until she was around the corner.
And she was out the car in front Pat's home. She looked at her phone and texted Ashtin to buzz her in.
She had waited only two minutes before she heard that annoying sound and was let in.
She was trying so hard to keep it together all the way up there, she didn't want Ashtin to see her like that. But when that bitch opened the door, and Lani seen her state.
She already knew what the fuck was going on. "You seen the news?" Her voice croaked out as her tears swallowed her whole, Ashtin grabbed her and hugged her crying and shit. Mi came back worse then her she felt like she failed the hardest, "What did they do to her Ashtin?"
Ashtin couldn't even say nothing as Mi just cried on her- and it wasn't silent, you could hear the pain; shit if it wasn't for Ashtin holding her up she was liable to fall.
But she got tired, next thing you know they sitting down in the door way hugging and crying.
Ashtin couldn't stop Mi from claiming it to be her fault not even when they got up not even when it was 6 in the fucking morning and they both stayed up, she couldn't stop her from saying that.
Mi stared at Nae ceiling spaced out just thinking. She'd taken a shower and cried herself dry, now she was laying in Jonae's spot eating her stashed away candy just sad as fuck.
Just thinking.
What the fuck Granny Pat gone think?
She just got her granddaughter back and she's lost again permanently.
Mi got up a out the bed as Ashtin finally slept.
She wanted revenge but didn't even know where to start.
Deep down she know she just really wanted her best friend back.
She didn't care about the calls and texts coming in her phone, she just wished she tried harder.
The police had evidence of struggle the had surveillance footage, but the search went on for how long-
Milan only been snatched up once but they didn't help her; gang got her out. They kept shit street.
Jonae situation should've been handled differently is how she seen it now and now that she knew there was nothing she could do for her friend- she made a new pact with herself.
She can handle shit for herself no more in-betweens and help from outsiders.
From then on real ties she dealt with were between her and god.
She didn't plan on breaking this.
