Amari's Point of view

After drinking the soup, eating and basically chilling for a bit; Cals drove his car and let us off at the hospital. He even introduced me to a nurse that I could talk to and ask for his whereabouts whenever I return to pick him up.

At first I was curious as to why he wanted me to meet her, my mind went spinning when I saw how sexy she is. She has a light complexion, she wears brow test glasses and she looks like a freak in white, especially when she smiles with blue braces.

I shrug the feeling off when I noticed how the relationship seems very professional. He kisses me on my lips and told me that he got to start working since he already has his coat there. He wasn't properly attired, but stated that was the least of the matter, because he wasn't wearing tight jeans.

When I got back Katie was a drunk mess and was complaining about her boyfriend, who isn't giving her enough attention.

Katie and I haven't been that close, but we would still talk and give each other advice.

She sat on the floor next to Zendi's bed that Brie was laying down on.

A bottle of champagne was on the floor and her words camed out slurred.

"He's a fucking asshole," She said, giving me cheers with the bottle.

"Are you oKay?" Brie asked me.

"Yes, am fine," I walked over and snatched the bottle from Katie's hand.

"Gimmi back my drink," She slurred. "Look at me, look  how sexy I am. I got boobs and ass but not a -" She burped and laughed.

I placed the bottle on a nightstand and walked back. I saw Zendi's Johnsport bag on a chair and I got curious.

"What a mess you are, Brie, why did you allow this?"

"I mean, she said she was drinking for both of us, since I can't drink, am on medication remember?" She scratches the nape of her neck and struggles to sit up.

Unbelievable

I assisted her in sitting up and almost fell over Katie in the process. She laughed like a heyna and Brie joined her.

"Get up from there, come on, let me take you to your room," I pulled in her arm but was unable to do us. She is weighing a truck.

"Yuh heavy ino," I succeeded in pulling her off the floor and she balances her Self.

"If I were you, I would have given Zendi alllllllll the attention she was giving me, unlike Nathan, he's not doing shit. Why do I miss my man? Am-Amari, I miss my man," She hiccups and assisted our swaying bodies into opening the door.

She grins and faced palm herself and I tried not to laugh. It's been awhile I haven't laughed. It's seems my day with Cals had drained my energy.

"I miss my man so much," She said, and I heard Brie laughed. Brie's laughter got contagious, I couldn't help but laugh out.

We struggle to bring her to her room and I trowed her heavy body on the bed.

She doesn't deserve what's happening to her, She should leave Nathan.

ALWAYS giving advice and not taking it for yourself

"Do you think I should call my man? Amari? Tell Nathan I miss him. Where is the phone?" She asked, and sprawled across the bed.

Her snore became loud in the room and I let her be.

I shoved my problems away and walked back to Brie's.

Sitting down next to her, I adjust the lace wig on her head.

"Now talk. How did it go?"

"You aren't upset? I thought you would be -"

"Listen, I even forgot about it until Katie brought it up, about you giving Zendi the attention. Am not going to judge you, you've been through a lot and I would understand it if you want to call it quits on men, but please don't ever downgrade Zendi's sexuality. I don't like what you did."

It had hurt me, knowing she told Zendi to call a man baby since she's a woman. I know now that she says it out of jealousy but that's something that will stain a person. Zendi is like glue, anything you says or do, it sticks, especially if you are important to her.

"I'm sorry, I didn't say nothing."

"Next time, you should know that you can come to me with anything, Brianna am here for you, we are more than friends, we are Family. Am so pissed at you for not telling me Kajan was abusive. I missed it and I blamed myself, you are fine now but don't ever-" Before I could finish she pulls me close to her and I go closer and hug her.

She smells like vanilla body wash.

"You smell good, now I see why Zendi is so caught up," I pulled back and see her blushing.

"Even blushing? Girl you is gone," I smiled at her and removed her hands from from her face.

After a while she sobers up and looked down, at her fingers.

We are so much alike when it comes on to shyness. I don't know how she's a successful event planner when she had to deal with so many people.

"I think I messed up."

"About?"

"Zendi doesn't think I want her, I do. I just, I worry that she's going to put herself into trouble and Amma be left fighting it out. She wants me to make up my mind and I don't want to take too long nor do I want to loose my friend."

Oh shit

"Is it why her bag is packed?" My eyes glanced at the Johnsport and I frowned.

"She wants me to make a choice, all in. How am I going to help her heal if she keeps throwing herself under the bus? She says am tryna change her."

"Oh wow, that quickly huh?. Brianna you can't fix everyone, you need your own healing too, both pshycial, mentally and emotionally. Am sure Zendi is strong enough to handle

Whatever comes her way. Plus she won't just throw herself to the cops when she got you."

Zendi has been all sort of things when it comes on to breaking the law, both in Jamaica and US. She went to jail for one year; due to her almost chopping somebody to peices; her mother got her a lawyer and that was how she got out. The victim survived but was killed in a drive by when we went to Brooklyn for holidays.

Zendi is ruthless and repulsive and I don't think it's wise for Brie to try and change her, if she wants the relationship to work, she should take Zendi as she is and let Zendi work on herself.

"Zendi is a Coke head ino Brie, all when the coke comes out of her system she's is still ruthless. She doesn't give a fuck, so it's either you in or you out. Let her work on herself, knowing she go avoid you or take as she is and be there for her am sure she'll cool down overtime. She cares for you and I know that because I saw the way she was at the hospital and I saw it earlier. I've never seen Zendi like that before."

"What if mom doesn't like the fact that am gay?"

"It's your life, you get to choose what makes you happy and who's willing to make you happy. Am sure Aunty will understand."

Zendi and I called Mrs Harlow; Aunty, because she basically raised us when we visits. She's like mother hen, especially to Zendi, she was once a nurse too and I think that made her had a special liking for Zendi. I won't tell Brie that though, when they reached that Bridge, they will cross it.

"Plus I don't even know where she went, she just got up and left and didn't say anything. Mi cah bada, mi just stuck here and I have jobs to do and I keep putting appointments off."

"It's okay. Am sure Zendi is around somewhere."

I got up and searched under the sheets for my phone. It was almost time for me to go for Paris.

"I have to bring Cals car to him tonight, I have to collect Paris from School. I might as well go home."

"You guys make up? That's must be nice."

I hummed and checked my notifications.

"Zendi said that she will get Paris for me, so Paris will stay with you guys for the night."

Katie might use the company when she wakes up, she will get all the attention because Paris is fascinated with the way her Canadian accents sounds. She will bring vibes to the house if she gets over her boyfriend drama. Zendi and Brie will get some alone time.

I walk-in the closet and take up clothes to have a shower.

"Can you ask her where she is?"

"Girl please, ask her, she ain't go bite you."

"Please nuh, and talking about bite if Zendi knows bout Katie man, she probably set Nico on him. Let him kill the white boy."

I laughed out and removed the clothes. A short, neon dress that flows around my mid thigh. I pair it with a matching heels and underwears. There's just something about dresses that I like.

Princesspa

My eyes widen and my heart races in my chest. Am not an idiot to know that It means Princess. Why did his voice have to sound so sexy when he says it?

"She said she's on the highway, and Paris school uniform got covered in ice cream." She responded, her plump cheeks glowed as she smiled. She's so beautiful.

"Yuh skin nice ino, Brie, Oh God, Look mi Friend nice," She stares at me with wide eyes and I laughed.

Laughing felt like medicine.

"Mi nuh want yuh, I ain't gay, like ewwwww," I smiled and exit the room. "And about Paris uniform, Amma whip her ass to stop ruining her things."

"You ain't doing no such thing."

I know I wouldn't beat my kid for such simplicity, but she needs to be responsible.

Zendi's Point of view

The sound of Paris laughter rings in my ears and I smiled. I glanced through the rearview mirror at her. She's got ice cream on the seats, but I don't mind as long as she's happy, Plus it's leather, I can easily wipe clean.

"Look, Aunty Zendi Ice cream got into my nosetills."

"Nostrils, Paris, Nostrils."

She giggles and I slightly relax, the air comes in through the windows hitting us from all sides. I soon realized that am  going on past speed limits. I slowed down and stretched out, driving with my body far away from the steering.

I had taken it upon myself to collect Paris from School, because her presence always succeeded in calming me, even If a little. There's something about kids that calms me.

My mind as been racing without a full stop.

"Now we hafi go roll out before di Police Dem roll in," Nico's Voice cracks into my head.

No

No

No

I shook my head and focused hard on the road.

He handled it like a pro. He told Sparrow to call some men and distract the police before they could reach his street.

Nico also called; Draco, Roots and Blanka. I haven't seen  them in about two years. I rather them over Sparrow. I get along with them. We would correspond over text messages but whenever we meet up it's always a lot vybe. They are Nico's family, brothers from another mother. Not biologically his, but they stick together.

They told me to leave and even though I didn't want to leave Nico behind, I was forced to go, knowing if the police shows up he will go down,  For me either way, it was best I leave instead of staying behind and keeping up their time.

He is already on his way back to Montegobay with his men, as if nothing never happens, but I know otherwise. Kajan is dead. He will never put hands on Brie or another woman, why do I keep seeing his face in my head?

I glanced at Paris who was scooping up Ice cream from her clothes.

My feet slammed hard on the brake and Paris looks up.

A black Porsche as been following me! I continued to watch It, but each turn I make; I entered a lane far from my place, but it follows!
