*Maya POV*

Although damn near everyone in the city showed up to Chris' party, Addiction was still busy as fuck. The folks that couldn't get into Chris' house party showed up to my club. It was a long busy night. It is now 3:00 a.m, and I'm just now getting in my car. I pulled off, and was headed in the direction of Chris' house. I changed my mind, and took another direction instead. I was tired as fuck, and ready to go home & I figured his party was still going on.

As I drove, I sang along to Kehlani's Do You Dirty.

"Swear you see the good in me,

But that don't beat the hood in me,

And I got my intentions and use,

Guess I'm make believe,

'Cause baby, I know, baby, I know...."

I trailed off, and stopped singing as I noticed someone literally standing on the side of the road looking helpless. A part of me wanting to keep it pushing, but they looked like they needed help. I began to drive slowly as I rolled down my window. As I got closer, I couldn't even see who it was. When I stopped, they walked up to my car.

Bri.

I really wanted to be petty and press on this gas, but she looked horrible.

"Maya? Is that you?" Bri cried out loudly as she stepped to my rolled down window.

"Yes..." I said, faintly.

"I am so sorry for what I did to you Maya. No one deserves to have that happen to them." Bri said as her voiced cracked as she spoke. "Please help me. I was robbed, violated, and kicked out where I was living. I have no one."

The more she cried out for help, the more I felt bad. I knew God was gone get her ass, I thought as I looked at Bri.

She broke into my house.
She beat me up.
She caused me to miscarriage.

All of that she did to me, and I still couldn't find myself to leave her ass stranded. I started to search her face some more. I couldn't really tell if she was sincere or not, but that wasn't my concern. She was my best friend at one point. I wouldn't feel right just leaving her here for anything to happen to her.

Finally, I spoke up. "You can come and stay with me Bri." I said.

With no hesitation, she opened the car door, got in, and hugged me tightly. I decided to keep my hands to myself, because what she did to me will always sit in the back of my mind.

We headed to my house, and the whole way there was quiet. Bri and I listened to the radio, and that was that. I decided to break the silence, "What happened to you?" I looked over to her and asked.

"For the past couple of days, I've been living with Diamond and her boyfriend. I got kicked out, and they robbed my ass for everything I got." Bri said as she looked down and shook her head.

Wouldn't wish that shit on my worst enemy, I thought.

As she said that, I pulled into my house FINALLY. I felt like that damn ride took forever and a day.

When we made our way inside my house, I stopped in my tracks as I stood in the same spot where Bri, Diamond, and Derrick came in that night & did what they did....

I tried to close the door as quickly as I can. It didn't work. Derrick put his down to stop the door from closing. Bri and Diamond walked in, pushed me out the way, and I bust my ass. Before I could say shit, I felt a sharp pain in my stomach as Derrick kicked me.

"FUCK!" I screamed out.

I looked at my old friend, my enemy, and a man who I had a fling with.

"FUCK!" Bri screamed out mimicking me, causing Diamond to bust out laughing.

"You think you the shit! Shuttin' me down. Bitch you ain't shit, and afta' tonight.. You gone find out!" Derrick screamed angrily.

As I'm looking up at them, I start praying loudly. "Lord, please lend me your ears,
Right now I am in a hard pla-" I was interrupted as Diamond spit in my face, and pulled my hair. I tried to fight back, but Bri jumped in.

Two beautiful girls turned ugly.

Derrick stepped in, and broke up the fight. While my body still dripping, in its robe.. He forcefully threw me on my couch. I screamed out, I cried, I fought.. Nothing worked. He shoved my face in the couch & ripped my robe off; exposing my naked, wet body......

"Are you okay Maya?" Bri said as she interrupted the painful trip I took down memory lane.

I told Bri to come upstairs with me so I can give her some things to live off of. I picked through my closet, and stuffed clothes that I don't wear into a big suitcase. When I was done, I went to my bathroom and gave her personal hygiene things.

"Here you go. You know where the guest room is." I said nonchalantly.

*Bri POV*

I headed to the guest room after she gave me all of the stuff I needed. I would've never thought that Maya would've forgiven me after everything that happened.

Maybe she was a true friend all along. More of a friend than Diamond, I thought.

At first I didn't, but now I feel bad for doing her so dirty. I wiped the thoughts away as I headed to the bathroom in the room I'm staying in, and took a shower. It felt so good showering after being outside for a while, partying, and having se-

I had sex with Chris, I thought.

I been in jail for six months, so I don't know if they was still fucking with each other so I just let go of the thought.

I continued to shower, and finally got out. When I got dressed, I hopped on social media and went on Maya's Instagram page. All I seen was pictures of her and Chris. I even found out that he proposed to her. That was her fiancé. My heart dropped as I felt bad for drugging and having sex with him tonight.

"FUCK!" I whisper-yelled.

Then I remembered that he yelled Maya's name while fucking me. What if she kicks me out? Man. I sighed in distress.

What she doesn't know won't hurt her, I thought.

After a while, I got bored and found myself walking in the halls. Her house was so beautiful. I stopped in front her door, and knocked. She quickly opened it.

"Yes?" Maya said, looking down on the ground.

"Can we hang out tonight? I don't want it to be awkward." I said, smiling.

"I'll need some time..." Maya started, but I shook my head and she stopped.

"Please! It's just me and you here tonight. I want it to be like old times." I said.

She smiled, and walked out her room. I followed her down the stairs to her kitchen, and sat down at the counter.

"I'll get us some snacks, and you can come in my room with me and watch movies." She smiled at me and winked.

"Yes bitch! After 6 long months in jail, I need something like this." I said jumping up and pulled out snacks right along with her.

"Well I'm glad you're out. I needed my bitch back." Maya admitted.

"Don't act like ya ass ain't put me in there." I said jokingly.

"You put your damn self in there." Maya snapped at me. She stopped what she was doing, and you can tell her whole mood changed. "I'm sorry." She added as she looked down, and her eyes began to water.

I felt so bad man. I can't believe I did that to my best friend.

I grabbed her and embraced her into a hug. She was once the closest person to me. I stroked her hair as she cried more and more. I wanted to tell her, but I knew that now was not the time.

"Why the fuck would you do that to me?" She asked as she buried her face in my chest.

I really was at a lost for words. I don't know why I did it.

After a while if us still hugging, she pulled back. "I'm good now. I just had a moment, but we're good. I forgive you, but I'll never forget." Maya said looking at me.

I grabbed the food off of the counter, and grabbed her hand. "Good, because I mean it when I say I'm sorry." I said. Me and her went upstairs, and laid down in her bed. It was now 5:00 in the morning, but we still managed to stay up for the rest of the night & talk, eat, and watch movies.

*OMNISCIENT POV*

When 11:00 a.m. hit, the Maya finally woke up out her peaceful sleep. She noticed that there were arms, and legs wrapped around her. Slightly turning her head, she noticed that it was Bri. Why is she on me like this, Maya thought. She got up to brush her teeth, and get her shit together. Her movement cause Bri to wake up too. As soon as she woke up, her phone was going off.

It was Diamond.

Bri scoffed, put her phone down, and laid her ass back down. After 30 minutes of drifting back to sleep in Maya's bed, Maya came out the bathroom and threw a pillow at Bri's head.

"Girl! Wake up!" Maya said laughing at Bri who was knocked out cold on her bed.

"Oh my FUCK." Bri said as she got annoyed. All she was trying to do was enjoy her beauty rest.

"We going out today girl." Maya said as she hopped on the bed making Bri bounce.

"I don't have no money." Bri got up and looked at a excited Maya.

"I got you girl. All I need for you to do is hurry the hell up, and get ready." Maya said.

Bri smiled and got up to get ready. This should be fun, she thought.

After two hours, Maya and Bri were finally ready to hit Atlanta. When both of them hopped in the car, Maya's phone starting going off and it was Chris calling her. Without hesitation, she grabbed her phone, answered, and put it on speaker.

"Hey baby." Maya said as she started driving to the nail salon.

Bri looked over at Maya, and tried to slickly listen to Chris' and her conversation. It was hard to be slick since he was on speaker.

"Hey baby girl. I took ya customers last night?" Chris asked as he laughed.

"Yes, but luckily we still had business." Maya said. It was silent for a bit until Maya spoke again. "How was your night?" Maya asked.

When Maya asked this question, Bri turned her head out of the window. "The last thing I remember is dancin' and being crowded. After that is history, because I don't remember shit else." Chris said.

"But baby I gotta go, I'm with my girl Bri right now." Maya said. With that the two hung up the phone and Maya pulled into the nail salon parking lot.

The two women enjoyed their time together at the nail salon. Maya put Bri up on game with everything going on in her life. This is a reminder of why I started to despise her ass, Bri thought. She quickly washed her thoughts away as she remembered this is the woman who took her in her home after all the wrong she did to her.

After getting their nails done, Maya went into her wallet and paid for them. When the two walked out the nail salon, and got into the car, Bri took a picture of them and their nails & uploaded it on Instagram.

"Chik'Fil'A?" Maya said as she looked at Bri and smirked.

"Yes bitch. You know it." Bri said clapping her hands.

*Diamond POV*

Me and Nykeem been on bad terms lately. All because of that hoe, Bri. She had to come along, and fuck my relationship up. That night that Nykeem kicked her ass out, he beat on me.

I hate that bitch wit' a passion, and I'm comin' for her head, I thought.

I don't know where the fuck she was, but she was gone hear from me real soon. I sat at the table, and clicked on Instagram. The first thing I seen that @briisthatbitch (Bri) post a picture with her and Maya.

My face scrunched up as I looked at the picture and read the caption, "She my day one."

I don't know who is a dumber bitch... Maya for forgiving this backstabbing hoe after what we did or Bri for having the nerve to be friends with someone you beat up.

And I was hell of drunk last night, but I know for damn sure I seen Bri take Chris upstairs. That's none of my business though. Now that I know Bri out here in these streets runnin' around with Maya, that's makes it easier to get to her.

"COME HERE BITCH!" Nykeem screamed as I damn near jumped out my seat.

This is how it's been since last night. He talks down on me every chance he gets. He beats me when he gets the chance. If I had somewhere to go I'd leave, but I can't. I have no one. I don't have a job either. After a couple of seconds, I got up and went to his room.

"Who else you fucked other than Bri?" Nykeem confronted me as he counted the money he took from Bri last night.

I just sat there. He was not gone like my answer, because I been with this nigga for two years & cheated God knows how many times. He quickly got up and punched me in my nose two quick times causing me to fall to the ground. My nose started to sting from the pain.

"FUCK!" I yelled as tears rolled down my cheeks.

"Who else did you fuck?" Nykeem said as he towered over me.

"No one!" I lied. He has been beating my ass nonstop. I was not about to take a chance on getting beaten on again. b

"You bitch!" Nykeem screamed. He walked out of the room, and I heard the front door slam.

Thank God, I thought as I realized he left.

It's hasn't even been twenty four hours since it's been hell in this apartment, but I couldn't take in no more. I went into his bathroom, and looked at my face. He really fucked my shit up.

I need to leave right now, I thought as I rushed to his closet and grabbed ALL of my shit. I don't know how long he gone be out so I need to get my shit packed now. After 10 minutes, I stuffed as much as I could into my two suitcases. I grabbed Bri's old pink duffle that was laid across his bed, and stuffed the money back inside. I called an Uber that arrived in under five minutes. I hopped in the car, and told the driver to take me to the nearest hotel.

A look of concern appeared on the driver's face as he drove quickly. The nearest hotel was only 10 minutes away.

"That'll be $7.00." He said as he reached his hand out when they arrived at the hotel.

I reached into the duffle, and handed the driver a $100 bill. He smiled, and nodded his head.

"Keep the change." I said as I hurried out the car, and into the building.

I walked inside Hampton's Inn, and the young girl at the front counter got me a room right away. As soon as I got in there, I dropped everything and was knocked out cold.

*OMNISCIENT POV*

After a long afternoon of having a girl's day out, Bri and Maya finally made it back to the house.

"Girl, you know you did not have to cuss that lil hoe out at the front counter?" Bri said as she laughed.

"Yes the fuck I did...." Maya said as she shrugged.

"She tried it though. That lil hoe was mad for no reason. No one told her lil ass to work there in the first place." Bri said.

"Right, but speaking of working.. You need a job, because you expensive girl." Maya jokingly said as she looked at the shopping bags in Bri's hands that S H E bought.

"I know. No one is going to hire someone who been to jail and I have no degree on top'a that." Bri said starting to get disappointed.

She sat her bags down by the door then walked to the couch and sat on it. Maya walked over to the couch too, and sat next to Bri.

"You remember how I told you how I own the club now?" Maya asked her.

Bri shook her head, yes. "Well, you can come work there. You can be a bartender or you could keep stripping." Maya said.

Bri knew for a fact that when she worked there, she made so much money off of stripping. "I'll keep strippin'." Bri said as she hugged Maya.

She's really comin' through, Bri thought to herself.

Bri and Maya heard the door start to unlock, and Chris walked in ruining their moment. He seen that the two broke their hug, "Did I come at the wrong time?" Chris asked as he walked in the living room where they were at.

"No baby!" Maya jumped up and hugged him.

"I missed you yesterday baby girl." Chris said as he hugged me back, tightly.

He looked over at Bri, and Bri looked over at him. She couldn't tell if he recognized her or not from the night before. Before he could even get a word out, she dropped her head and went upstairs.

"Bri, where you going?" Maya said.

"To the room." Bri said dryly.

Chris seen that Maya's friend was feeling some type of way. He figured it was because they were having a moment before he came in. He hurried to Bri, and took his hand out. "My name is Chris. If you Maya dawg, you my dawg too." He smiled as he waited for her to introduced herself.

"I'm Bri." she said smiling. Bri reached her hand out to shake his.

Bri started to feel bad all over again. What she doesn't know won't hurt her right, Bri thought.

-

Should Bri just tell her what happened?

Is Maya TOO forgiving or is she being a good friend?

Did Bri and Diamond get their karma?
