"Eve"

July 13th
—————

"Baby Ima be back home soon, don't worry." Shawn pleaded through the phone. They talked here and there when Shawn got the chance to talk on the phone since he was in jail.

Eve's tears kept cascading down her cheeks, she was hurt that he got caught and she wanted him back in her presence so bad but she was going to be strong with whatever it takes to see her baby.

"Ok I love you, be safe." Eve said as her voice cracked and the call ended before he could say it back.

"Thank you for calling Florida County Penitentiary dial ###-###-6345  for any answers or questions on inmate calling services."

I put my phone down getting up to leave out since I had college courses with Micah in 30 minutes. She was downstairs hanging with Corbyn who's she been with a lot lately but I wasn't going to be mad and have her pick a side between us.

Speak of the devil..

Corbyn came busting in my room with a wife beater and grey shorts that sagged every time he tried to pull them up.

"Who invited you in here?" I said grabbing my PINK jacket off my closet door and putting it on.

He plopped down on my queen size bed making his self comfortable like all the time as if this was his room.

"I did the fuck." He said fiddling with his gold chain around his neck. 

Corbyn and I was very much alike which made us hate each other even more because we both were bipolar, attitudes and had bad tempers. He was just more calmer and I was labeled the hyper one.

Lately he's been getting real smart and personal with it and I haven't clocked him on it yet but he just kept pushing my buttons.

"If you have something to say...say it, If not get the fuck out Corbyn!" I yelled pointing to the door. I was so done with everybody at this point I just couldn't hold my anger in. Corbyn mugged me with his nonchalant attitude and stood up to leave.

I guess I woke up my family as my mother came waltzing in my room before Corbyn had the chance to leave. It was unusual for our mother to get in between our arguments since she stated we were grown now but this time she was over it.

"Uhn unt y'all both better sit y'all asses down and listen to me." She said leaning on the door with her pink robe and bonnet on to match.

I took a seat at my vanity desk and Corbyn sat back down on my bed. "It was all her ma." Corbyn spoke up and said.

"Shut the fuck up and grow up." I said throwing a bottle at him.

She looked at us both with disappointment because both of her eldest children have been fighting for years and she thought it would stop by the time we got older.

"I really can't believe you guys." She said holding her hand above her mouth, this hit home because our mother struggled to raise us right and we just kept disappointing her.

My mother's tears came flowing down her cheeks making her unable to say anything else so instead she left out the room.

Me and Corbyn looked at each other with hurt..that was the thing that probably connected us is that we both hurt our mother.

"We got to fix this for real Corbyn." I said gathering my things to meet Micah downstairs.

He got up from my bed and walked over to me giving me a hug. "I'm sorry I failed as a big brother." He said. His words hit home to me as I hugged him back. It was going to take some time for us to get back completely right but this was the beginning of something good.

"I love you Corbyn." I said breaking the hug and patting his back leaving out the room.

"Love you too sis, y'all be safe." He said.

...

"You ok babe?" Micah asked sitting across from me.

We were in class now and it was pretty quiet per usual but this was our second year here and the rest of the people weren't here so we would have to see.

"Yeah I'm good you?" I asked since Micah's been hella quiet lately even though she was usually like that but she would always talk to me and she's been hanging around my brother a lot.

She nodded. "Why?" Micah said picking up the textbook to distract eye contact between her and me.

Micah did that when she know I knew something was up with her so she would try to find her ways around it to not talk about it.

"Micah you've been actin weird lately sis." I said. I thought she may be pregnant or something but i feel like if she was her scary ass would've gone ballistic and told everyone.

"No I haven't, shutup." She awkwardly giggled. I just looked at her oddly then picked up my phone since she was budging.

"Welcome class I'm glad you guys are here!" The blonde teacher walked in as Dylan ran in behind her which was weird they came in on the same timing.

Dylan noticed us sitting down and walked over here taking a seat right next to Micah who was reading stuff off of her phone.

"Hey bitches." Dylan said.

"Where you been at?" I asked her since we haven't seen her in about 2 weeks and she usually texts us but she hasn't. Weird ass energy.

"I've been around ya know." She said looking away at the teacher.

It seems like everybody was just acting weird lately. I got back cool with my brother and now I gotta deal with their nonchalant behaviors.

"Been around where Dylan?" I said.

"Eve I've been around, just let it go." She said with a slight attitude.

Everything was holding me back in to not slap her across the earth because I've had it with people just taking advantage of my respect.

"Ok bitch, I'll let it go." I took my EarPods out of my jacket pocket and put them on to ignore all the bullshit these two hoes been giving me.

Dylan rolled her eyes grabbing out her phone putting her hoodie on. She always had this tomboy look to her so if people didn't know her they probably assumed she was gay or something but in reality she liked all the niggas you can think of.

Chase came lastly like always. He was the last one to arrive majority of the places we go probably because he was getting tongued down by his boyfriend.

"Hey babes." Chase said smiling all hard taking a seat next to me.

I waved at him as the others were to involved with themselves to even notice he was here.

"What's up with those two?" He asked.

"I don't even know and I don't even care anymore." I said shrugging my shoulders. If they didn't wanna talk to me and be weird then I was gonna give them the same energy.

"Uh oh not y'all beefin." Chase shook his head.

This happened a lot but it was usually between me and Dylan. Micah was the quiet one so she would always stay out of the drama but I guess this time she felt like adding herself in.

"I'm not beefin with two bitches I don't care for tuh." I said smartly.

"So what the fuck you wanna do then Eve, cause you know I'm bout it." Dylan said taking her hoodie off getting angry back with me.

"I'm all about it Dylan, try again bitch." I said.

"You always sayin sum smart shit bro, like fuck u want." Dylan said as her hood accent came out a little strong.

"I want you to talk to me!" I said raising my voice a little bit. The class had overheard as they put their attention on us.

"Well maybe I don't wanna talk to a bitch who disrespects me on social media!" Dylan said as he voice cracked.

"Y'all chill." Chase said walking over to Dylan trying to calm her down.

"What are you talking about?" I asked confused. If I had a problem with Dylan I would've said it to her face. I wasn't no scary bitch so I didn't know where and who she was getting this from.

"Don't act dumb bitch." She said.

"I've never talked about you Dylan so yeah I must be a dumb bitch." I said back.

Dylan threw her book at me and pushed her seat in getting out of Chase's grip and threw up her set as she insisted to fight me.

I got up pushing my seat in, I wasn't in the mood today and I was about to leave because i didn't wanna put my hands on her. Dylan was one of my best friends and we went back and forth but It never went this far.

"Ladies stop!" The teacher yelled grabbing Dylan by her hoodie.

"I'm out the fuck, catch y'all when y'all get your shit together." I said grabbing my purse and leaving out the class.

I felt my tears trying to get the best of me but I tried to hold them back in as I made it outside getting to my car.

"Ay shawty you good?" A young man said with his thick Floridian accent.

"Mhm." I said turning around to see a tall, dark chocolate fine ass man.

"You sure? they was wildin back in there." He said.

"Yeah I'm good thank you though." I wiped my dry tears secretly fell and smiled. I never had a guy look out for me like he did so I appreciated that especially after today.

"Alright don't drop ya crown shorty." He smirked thumbing my chin and then walking back in the school.

He made feel real good inside, it was like a tingling feeling but I brushed it off since I was still holding it down for Shawn and I would never leave him no matter how fine a nigga is. You sure?

...

I kicked my legs up scrolling through Instagram while I laid out half-naked on my bed. I seen Dylan post a picture which made me feel some type of disappointment and regret. I still couldn't believe that our friend group was slowly tearing apart and that it was allegedly because of me.

No one even hit me up to ask me if I was alright they just all went over to Dylan. I had a whole stranger check up on me. That's when I came to realize it really be ya own friends. But I was still going to comment under the post because I still loved her genuinely. She probably was going to block me anyway.

@ᴅʏʟᴀɴᴛʜᴇɢᴇɴɪᴜs: ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ʟᴏᴠᴇ ᴍᴇ?
@ᴘʀᴀᴅᴀғᴏʀᴄʜᴀsᴇ: ᴘʜᴏᴛᴏ ᴄʀᴇᴅs ᴛʜᴏ? 🥺

@ᴅʏʟᴀɴᴛʜᴇɢᴇɴɪᴜs: ^ ᴏɴ ᴍʏ ᴘᴀɢᴇ ғᴏʀ ᴡʜᴀᴛ?😒

Dylan responded to my comment with a smart remark but that was expected. I was trying to diffuse the situation but I guess this wasn't the right route to take.

I shut my phone off for the night taking a break from all the negative energy today. I decided to go run me a nice hot bath to rinse this bad aura off.

"Ay sis you seen Micah?" Corbyn said knocking on my door not wanting to come in. He was respecting my privacy for once.

"No, go away." I said.

"Sis for real bro, I'm not playing where she at?" He said back.

"I don't know Corbyn that's none of my business." I shrugged taking my jacket off.

I took my hair out of the messy bun I had it in as Corbyn mumbled curse words through the door as if I couldn't hear every single one of them.

"Fuck wrong with yo." Corbyb said losing his patience and busting through my room.

"What the fuck!" I said turning around.

"So you ruining your own friendships now." He said-

This was a very sentimental piece right hereee omg
