          Waking up from my drunken slumber, I noticed I was alone in bed. I looked up and seen Anthony nowhere in the room. Stretching and sitting up, my head begin aching a bit on one side. I almost wanted to lay back down to sleep again.

I slowly made my way out of the bed, pulling my dress down and went into the bathroom. I relieved myself and then washed and dried my hands.

Looking at myself in the mirror, my hair was poofy, I had small bags under my eyes, and the make up I had on made me look dead. Grabbing a scrunchie, I put my hair into a messy bun. I grabbed the make up remover wipes and took the makeup off completely.

Checking my phone for the time, it was a almost noon. Seeing hundreds of notifications from Instagram confused me. But no messages from Anthony or even my parents. I walked out the room and went downstairs.

Everyone they invited was gone. Chrissy and Chilli was cleaning up while Nicole and the guys was still knocked out on the couch. I still didn't see Anthony so I sent him a message.

Where you at? - 11:47am

     "Morning sleepy head!" Chrissy said to me soon as I walk into the kitchen. "Had fun hun?

    "Morning. And yeah I did." I chuckled. "Thank y'all again."

    "Ooo she's awake." Chilli said putting plates and cups in the trash. "Finally got yo back broken in?" She asked making Chrissy suck her teeth.

    "Girl." Chrissy shook her head.

   "What?" Chilli laughed. "Just asking since we couldn't find you last night."

    "No nothing happened. Just cuddled and went to sleep." I said chuckling. I remembered myself pushing up on him and embarrassing myself but I don't remember falling asleep.

    "Awww." They cooed. "Can't wait until y'all start dating. Maybe he'll smile more." She chuckled.

"Speaking of him, y'all see him leave?"

    "Nope. He didn't text you?" Chrissy asked and I shook my head no. "Weird."

"Umm I got some to tell y'all." I said lowly, smiling.

They eyes got wide, coming closer to me. "What!" Chilli yelling in whisper.

"Don't open your big mouth about it either." I warned her.

"Okay. Dang." She said curling her lip up, making us chuckled.

"I'm going to New York. Today." I smiled. "Anthony got me the ticket for my birthday."

"What!?" They both said shocked.

"Oweee. But wait... yo father." Chilli said laughing. "He definitely gone have a heart attack when you tell him."

"Wait, you telling them, right?" Chrissy asked.

I shrugged. "I don't know. Like she just said my dad does too much."

"Yeah but you're a young adult now. And it's not like you're irresponsible or some."

"Try telling him that." I said rolling my eyes. I went to check the Instagram notifications.

Hundreds of people was following me out of nowhere. I was now a little over two thousand followers. I went to my posts and see I was over a thousand likes. There was comments as well giving me birthday wishes. I read a few of them from guys saying the cringiest and craziest things.

Who the hell says shit like "I'll drink your bath water" or "Got an onlyfans?" It made me laugh, shaking my head. Do people not think before typing?the internet is a complete mess.

I also had over a hundred DMs so I checked a few of them, laughing to my at these people messages. My face instantly scrunched up when I see Jared's photo with a different username. I blocked him before so he decided to make a new account?

JayDaDon
You look beautiful

Rolling my eyes, I clicked on his name and scrolled down to the block button. Blocking him, I deleted the chat completely.

I continued scrolling my socials and from the corner of my eye I see Nicole walk into the kitchen with squinted eyes, yawning. "Hey y'all."

"Heyyy, Nae going to New York." Chilli cheesed, leaping to her. "With Ghostbusta."

I smacked my lips at her, shaking my head. It hasn't even been five minutes and she told someone. Yeah it's Nicole so that's no problem but dang.

"My bad." She laughed. "I won't say nun else promise." She said zipping her mouth close and throwing the fake key away.

"When y'all leaving?" She said chuckling.

"Later today." I say. "But he left somewhere."

    "Just call call him. Probably had some to do before y'all leave." She shrugged going into the bathroom.

I nodded, standing up and going out to the back yard. My eyes popped out my head at all the cups, plates of bones and pizza crusts, and empty beverage bottles everywhere and in the pool.

I sighed, calling Anthony and waited. It rung a few times before he answered. It was quiet on his end for a few seconds, rambling happening before I hear him coughing. "Sup ma." His voice came through.

     "Hey, why you ain't answer my text?"

     "Just got back in the car when you was callin'."

     "Where did you go? You left me." I said pouting a bit as I walked around the pool aimlessly.

     "To the store for a few things. And you was sleep so I ain't wanna wake you."

     "You should've. When are we leaving?"

     "Around seven." He said and I made a mental note.

"Okay. You coming back here?" I leaned on the gate, nibbling on my lip.

"Only if you need a ride back but I'm handlin' some right now."

"Okay and I can drive myself." I smiled, hoping he catches the hint.

"Wit who whip? Ya homegirls?" He asked.

"No, mines. It was a gift. It's so beautiful."

"Ahh shit, I see you. Dats wassup mamas. Can't wait to see it and my gas money." He said. I could hear the smile on his face as I laughed.

"I Gotchu." I say blushing. "But Imma help clean up a bit before I go home to pack."

"Ight, see you soon ma."

"See you." I said and ended the call. The smile was stuck on me as I walked back into the house.

Placing my phone in my packet, I see that Chilli was cleaning the kitchen and Chrissy and Nicole was picking up the trash around the house and sweeping the floors. I got the other broom and a trash bag then went outside to the back yard.

I walked around picking up all the cups, paper plates, and bottles tossing them in the garbage bag. It was chilly out but all this swift moving, bending and squatting around this big ass yard was making me hot. I was definitely taking a nice long shower before going back home to pack.

Finishing, I got the broom and swept around the pool area and dumped everything in the garbage bag. Looking around pleased with its tidiness, I tied the bag up and sat it next to the slide door.

Walking back into the house, the guys was up now and rummaging through the kitchen for food.

     "Y'all could help with the trash fat asses." Chilli said as they was eating left over wings and pizza.

     "It's too early for you to be bitchin'." Kev said mouth full of chicken. "Damn." He groaned.

     "Nigga—"

     "We'll take it out." Mike said cutting her off before she snapped. "But when you gone lemme take you out?" He said, standing next to her as she put the last dish away.

"When you gone ask me?" She raised a brow.

"I'm asking now." Mike chuckled. "Can I take you out?"

"Yeah, take ha ass somewhea', dicka down, do some." Kev mumbled as Eli snickered. "Shit."

I laughed, grabbing my phone. Chilli sucked her teeth at them. "Shut the fuck up, nigga you on dry a streak. And don't make me get Chrissy to make you cry again." Chilli says to Kevin and Eli.

"Huh." Chrissy said sounding mental.

Nicole let out an loud unexpected laughed from the living room which made us laugh except Eli.

"Fuck outta here. I dropped dick in ya co worker in her car last night." Kev waved her off.

"Chill wit that." Elijah sighed. "She ain't make nobody cry about shit."

"Oooo you hear that Christina?" Chilli laughed. "He calling you a liar!"

"Please stop." Chrissy said, sighing.

We all can see there's still some going on between them two that we won't ever know about. I just wondered, if they was once together and some happened to where they broke up, why are they so comfortable being around each other? Like now, they obviously have a problem but sit around us normally.

"Awe shit." Kev said. "Don't get they dysfunctional asses started."

"Anyways, where G?" Eli asked changing the subject.

"No he's out somewhere. Imma go shower and change real quick." I said between laughing, walking out the kitchen. They was still talking among themselves as I upstairs.

Walking back into the room, I went through my bag and pulled out a pair of jeans, my long sleeve black shirt, and black Nike hoodie. After picking out my undergarments, I grabbed my towel and went into the bathroom. I turned on the shower, letting it run until it was steaming a bit. I undressed and hopped in, deeply sighing in relief and satisfaction.

Nothing like a nice hot shower.

After about fifteen minutes I hopped out and dried myself off. I moisturized and got dressed then went to brush my teeth and do my hair. Finishing I went back into the room and packed up the little stuff I had. I walked out the room and headed back downstairs to see them talking amongst themselves.

     "I'm finna head out y'all." I say to them.

     "Where you—never mind." Chilli chuckled.

     "Nah where you going?" Kev said making me laugh.. "I'm nosey."

     "Back to my grandparents house." I pulled my bag further over my shoulder. "Told my them I'll be back in the morning."

"Ight bet." He said walking to me. "Drive safe sis." He said side hugging me.

     "Thank you, I will." I say hugging him back.

I said bye to everyone else and walked out, closing the door behind me. I walked to my baby and unlocked her, hopping in. I tossed my bags in the back and started the engine, driving home.

After an hour or so, I was finally back and parked in the drive way. I noticed my dads car was parked on the curbside meaning they was here. I cursed to myself as I grabbed my bags and I hopped out. Locking my car, I walked up the stairs and unlocked the door, walking in.

The twins was on the couch doing what I think is homework. Papers was covering the table and couch. Like clock work my dad came from the kitchen as soon as I reached the stairs.

      "Hey." I greeted, stopping in my tracks.

       "Hey, how was the party? Enjoyed yourself?" He asked, giving me a side hug.

        "Yeah, It was good.

       "Thats good." He said and it grew awkward now. He opened his mouth to say something else but my grandma came down stairs. He kissed the top of my head, walking back into the kitchen on his phone.

Okay then, I thought.

"There she go! How was it? Did you have fun?" She asked as we hugged briefly.

"Yeah, it was fun." I smiled at her. "Where's mama and gramps?"

"Still sleep. Want me to wake them up?" She asked and I shook my head no.

"No, that's okay. Was just asking. I can wait until they get up." I say making my way upstairs. "Imma go unpack."

"Alright baby. There's leftovers in the fridge if you hungry." She said behind.

"Okay. Thank you grandma." I said aloud as I walk into my still neatly cleaned room.

I placed my stuff on the bed and flopped down on it. A rerun of everything went through my head and I cringe a little laughing to myself. It was fun until the end with me being so embarrassing.

But then I begin to think how I was going to tell them I'm leaving to another state in a few hours. I just had a gut feeling something was going to happen.

Checking my phone for the time, it was twenty five minutes until two. Anthony said we was leaving at seven so I got up to go downstairs for awhile.

My siblings was still on the couch doing homework I assume while my grandma was next to them, looking at her show. I went to the kitchen to see my dad on the phone near the back door and Cameron texting away on his phone at the island.

"Thank you for the gifts." I spoke to him as I sat down at the table. He looked up at me and a genuine smile came to his face.

"You're welcome. How was the party?" He asked, putting his phone away and giving me his full attention.

"Fun." I gave a small smile.

My smile fell when the conversation between whoever was on the phone with my father became louder.

"Fuck!...Damn mann!" He cussed, pacing the kitchen. "Ight. I'll be there later."

"Dad what's wrong?" I asked concerned, watching him. He hung up the phone and leaned against the counter.

"Nothing, everything's fine." He answered with a mug.

"What time?" Cameron ask him. I grew confused instantly.

"Nine." Dad answered.

"What's at nine?" I asked and they both looked at me, their expressions changing completely.

       "Work. Our home should be ready in a week or two so make sure your stuff is packed." Dad says to me simply then changing the subject.

      "Yeah, you and the twins share a room—" Cameron says.

      "What?" I quickly cut him off with my face scrunched up. "Um, no." They both cracked up making me suck my teeth.

     "Im just playin'." Cameron says. "Everyone got they own room. Even the twins big head selves."

     "You staying with us too?" I asked curiously. Honestly hoping for a yes, I wanted to build our sister/brother bond again. It honestly don't feel like we're siblings anymore at it saddens me. Of course I'm still upset a bit but I'm willing to talk to him about it if he's honest.

    "Nahh." He says and my heart fell a bit. "I got a crib downtown. Always welcomed."

Hearing him say that, I'm going to keep that in mind for sure. "Oh."

     "Yeah, you next?" I hear from behind me and it's my mom. "My babies growing and leaving the nest."

      "She still got forever in her with us." My dad says and I let out a laugh. "What's funny."

      "Dad, no." I say my laugh calming down as I scrolled through my socials.

      "Whatchu mean no. You not ready to leave yet. I know." He says.

I decided on not having this kind of conversation with him yet. So mama better get him before I do cause imma hurt his feelings.

     "You don't know nothing. Hush." She says kissing my head. "How was your birthday?

     "It was fun."

     "You took pictures?" She asked and I nodded. "Ooo let me see them."

     "I went to my camera roll and went to the very first picture I took yesterday and handed her the phone.

She slowly swiped left letting at each picture with a smile on her face. "My baby so beautiful. I love that dress on you." She shook her head.

     "Who all these people? Why Kevin photobombing most of them?" She asked making me laugh, remembering.

      "Cause he play too much." I say, shaking my head as she laughed.

      "Lord, y'all grow so fast. Remember when he was younger, y'all had a talent show in the front yard and it was him singing and dancing with Elijah while you and the girls watched, being the judges." She reminisced.

The memory came to mind and I laughed out loud. "Yeah, Eli got mad we gave him three points for the doing the jerk and stanky leg and gave Kevin a six for the moonwalk and Dougie." I explained as we laughed.

      "Y'all use to have ya daddy, Ms. Brooks, and me rollin'." She laughed, shaking her head.

Her laugh calmed down and she raised a brow then looked at me. I grew confused and she turned the phone to me and I see the message from Anthony just now disappearing. 

My mouth fell open then I let out a laugh uncontrollably. "Mom please don't say nothing." I say lowly to her as she tried to hold in her laugh. I covered my face feeling the embarrassment for some reason. Thankfully my dad was talking to Cameron near the back door.

      "So that's his name." She leaned closer to me.

      "Mama please." I begged. "Your husband."

She chuckled. "Don't think I didn't know. I watch just as much as yo daddy." She semi whispered, side eyeing him. "With his dramatic self. But okay, I won't..for now."

        "Why for now?" I looked at her.

        "Cause I want to officially meet him. I want him over for dinner when we get our home next week."

        "But—"

        "I'll handle yo daddy. And yeah he dramatic sometimes but he's just protective over you and your siblings. Been like that before everything." She explained.

        "What's everything." I asked and she sighed. "Before Cameron leaving?"

       "It's complicated."

I smacked my teeth, tired of them saying the same thing to me. I'm not a baby anymore and it's like they don't see that. I'm not clueless like they think, I know it has something to do with dads past.

"Imma go sit with grandma." I say and I grabbed my phone from her hands and went to the living room with the twins and grandma to watch tv. Guess I'll kill time down here before I leave tonight.
