"Stas!" Trippie yelled as he ran up to me hugging me. I laughed and hugged back. "How are you?" He asked pulling away.

"I'm alright. What about you?" I asked as I took a hit of the blunt in my hand. He shrugged.

"Dealing with shit, but you know. Just living life" he told me. I nodded agreeing.

"Yo! Stas! Don't mean to interrupt, but there's someone else you never met" Stokeley said as he came up to us with a guy beside him. He looked familiar. I smiled at him.

"I'm Tank. It's nice to finally meet you. These boys be talking about you a lot" He said making me laugh.

"It's nice to meet you too. And these boys better be saying nice things" I said as I wrapped my arm around Stokeleys. He smiled down at me and nodded.

"Of course. You're my little sister" Stoke said back to me. "Ight me and him gon say hi to other people" he said before they both walked away. I faced Michael again.

"Where's Aylek?" I asked him.

"We broke up" he told me making my eye go wide.

"Oh shit I'm sorry. I-"

"Nah its all good don't worry bout it. Shit happens man" he said back and I nodded. "So when you making a song?" He asked jokingly causing me to laugh and shake my head.

"Never" I told him. He pointed at himself then back at me.

"You and I gon make a song. You can sing, rap, whatever you want" he said then laughed. I knew he was joking. Hopefully.

"Yeah right. I ain't make a song. I can't sing or rap"

"I guess we'll find out" we both laugh and I shook my head. I always thought Trippie was a cool guy. I also love his music. I looked around the room and saw Jahseh talking with Coolie.

Oh so he's back. I guess him and Geneva are finally done talking or whatever the fuck they were doing. Probably hooking up. Who knows!! Jahsehs eyes wonder to me, but I look away back to Trippie and smile back at him. I went to talk, but Craig walked up to us with someone by his side.

"Hey!" I greeted him as I hugged him.

"Sup Stas. This is my friend, Kyle" Craig said as we pulled away. I looked over at his friend and smiled. Oh damn. He's got a few face tats and light eyes. Oh Faith would be tripping out because of how hot he is. Where is she?

"Hi" I said to this Kyle kid. He flashed me a smile and nodded at me. God damn.

(This is him. He hot asl fr. his insta is @ theonlynolove)

"How you doing?" He asked still with a smile.

"I'm good" I said back trying not to smile too wide. He's hot as hell. That's the affect Jahseh got on me. Ugh I wanna be with Jahseh. Where he at?

I looked around the room and I saw Jahseh still standing there with Coolie and some other kid I don't know. Except Jahseh was staring right back at me. He had a pissed off face and it didn't change while staring at me. I just looked away and tried to ignore it.

"So how is everything? How's living here?" Craig asked me.

"Oh you live with them?" Kyle asked. I nodded.

"It's great. I'm having fun here" I told them.

"Yeah they cool as fuck" Trippie said making me nod.

"Aye!" I heard from behind me, but before I could turn around, I felt arms wrap around my waist. "Bunny" I laughed knowing it was Ki.

"Ki!" I said back in the same tone as him as I put my hands on his.

"Yoo what's up man!" Trippie said to Ki.

"Aye bro!" Ki said back not letting go of me. Ki, Craig, and Kyle all greeted each other and I just let go of Kis hands. He let go of me and stood next to me. We smiled at each other.

"Ima go get a drink. Hold this" I said giving him my backwoods. He smiled wider and nodded.

"Hell yeah. Course ima take this" I laughed and shook my head. I walked away to the kitchen and grabbed the bottle of Henny that no one opened yet. I grabbed a cup and started to pour some in. This the shit I need right now.

"You see why I get skeptical" I heard Jahsehs voice from behind me. I turned around and leaned against the counter. I just looked at him confused as I sipped my Henny.

"What?"

"You and Skies. You know having his arms around you and shit" he told me clearly annoyed.

Is he serious right now? Is he really going to act as if that meant something? Or as if his ex wasn't just here?

"He was hugging me. Where's Geneva? She couldn't stay for the party?" Ima be petty because I'm getting annoyed with him.

"I told her she shouldn't stay. Listen it's not what-" I put my hand up cutting him off.

"Why was she here in the first place? You don't see me bringing Trevon around here. You was also just ranting to me this week about how fucked up the relationship with her was" I snapped at him.

"Because she needed to talk to me. Why you getting flirty with those others niggas?" He argues back.

"First off, no one was fucking flirty. Even if we were, who the fuck cares? Not you cause why? Oh wait because you got Geneva over here today. She wanted to talk to her ex? For what? If y'all relationship was so fucked up and ruined you then why do you still talk to her?" I yelled at him. I don't even care about yelling at him right now. He got my blood boiling.

"Because she was saying she needed me and I felt fucking bad because I'm a good person, Stas! I wish I didn't fucking care like that. Same thing as last time expect this time I told her to block my number and not reach out to me anymore." He told me. Well yelled at me. I just crossed my arms. I don't even know what to say to him. "Now what's up with you and those niggas out there? Skies wasn't just hugging you-" I cut him off.

"Yes he was"

"Nah maybe to you, but probably not to him" He said making me look at him confused.

"What are you even talking about? You sound dumb right now" I yelled at him. He really pissing me off today.

"Are you forgetting that he likes you?" He asked as if it's the most obvious thing ever.

"Are you forgetting that I like you?" I asked back making him go quiet. "I'm not fighting with you anymore Jahseh. This is why I said maybe just friends is better off" I told him. He took a deep breath and shook his head as he looked away. I went to walk past him, but as I did he turned me around and pressed his lips against mine. I couldn't help, but to kiss back. Then I remembered him hugging his ex this morning. I pulled away and shook my head. "Jah we-"

"Stop trying to fight us. I already explained what happened today. Do you not believe me?" He asked. I sighed. He hands dropped from my waist.

"I do" I said quietly. We just stared each other in the eyes.

"Y'all good?" I heard Trunks voice enter the kitchen.

"Yeah" Jahseh answered him. His eyes didn't move from me. I shook my head then walked out of the kitchen. This time he didn't stop me. As soon as I walked out of the kitchen, I saw Faith with Ki and Stokeley. I walked right up to them frowning.

"What's wrong?" Faith asked me. I shook my head not wanting to talk about it.

"Oh shit I think I know" Stokeley said as he was looking behind me. I looked back to see Jahseh walk over to Coolie while looking pissed off. He grabbed the bottle from Coolies hand and started to chug. I sighed and turned back around.

"I don't care" I said looking down at the drink in my hand.

"You still mad at him?" Stokeley asked. I nodded slowly.

"Why are you mad at him?" Ki asked me.

"I don't wanna talk about it" I told them took started to chug the liquor in my cup. It burned my throat, but I tried to get through it. I need to be numb.
