Nahla Reese

"Why yo ass inside the house?" Tez asked coming into the living room

I was sitting on the couch eaten my chips as I watched "Growing up hip hop, Atlanta"

"Watching tv" I told him as I ate another chip

"I'm surprised you're inside and not running the streets making Dre mad" He laughed taking a seat next to me

"There's nothing to do" I shrugged

"So you gonna tell me why Polo hasn't been around?" He asked turning the volume of the tv down

I really wasn't trying to tell him that Mir stopped talking to me because I got a boyfriend. I wasn't ready to deal with everyone talking down on him.

"I haven't even seen Paris little hoe ass running around here either" he added on

"Now you know damn well Paris ain't no hoe so don't come for my friend" I told him but he just laughed

"You know I'm playing but for real where everyone at?"

"Paris has been taking care of her grandma who's sick. So I don't expect her to be around much. I help her whenever her parents let me cause you know how they are" I told him

Since Paris' family was wealthy they didn't like her associating with people who had less than them. Especially nobody from the hood. Only reason she even goes to my school is cause her grandma.

"They still on that?"

"Yeah" I rolled my eyes getting up so I could put the chips away

"Okay so wassup with Polo? Cause y'all two are always together unless y'all mad at each other So?"

"Fine if you just know. He's not talking to me because I'm dating Terrance"

"Hold the fuck up. You're what? Who gave yo ass permission to date?" He raised his eyebrows

"Me that's who" I laughed

"So how long have y'all been dating?"

"6 months going to be 7 next month" I told him taking a seat again

"And I still haven't met him? Oh hell nah. I wanna meet him"

"You know him though. Terrance"

"But I don't know him as your boyfriend so I don't know him"

"Ugh I can't stand you" I rolled my eyes

"Don't get yo ass beat now yo birthday today so what you tryna do?"

"Nothing. Just lay in my bed"

"Come on Lala we not gonna have a repeat of two years ago right?" He raised his eyebrow

My birthday was something I didn't really like celebrating since a week after was the anniversary of my parents death so this time of year was anything but happy. From the nightmares and flash backs to the sudden changes of moods i be going through it's just not a good time for anymore.

Two years ago it got really bad to the point where i just didn't feel like living no more. So here was my 13 year old ass almost overdosing on pills and shit because I just wanted to be with my parents again. Luckily Mir found me and acted on it or else I would've really left

"No. there won't be a repeat" I told him

"You promise?"

"I promise Tez. I won't scare you again"

"Good cause i love you kid. I know I'm hard on you at times and be acting like an asshole but it's only to protect you. You and Dre are the only thing i got so you know Ima give it my all to make sure ya'll straight"

"I love you too and i know you just looking out. I don't hold none against you. It's your brother who i got the problem with but don't worry. I'm going to enjoy my day and not being depressed and shit" I laughed

"Good! Now you want me to knock Jamir's ass out?"

I loved Tez. He was honestly like my best friend aside from Mir. I literally tell him everything and I know he won't judge me. He might be mad for a bit but regardless he tells me how much he loves me. It's been that way since we were younger. It was always Tez,Trey and me. Whenever we had a problem we ran to each other first.

"No! I'm used to him doing this every time I get with a boy so i ain't worried" I shrugged

"Every time?" He asked and I just nodded my head "That nigga in love with you" He laughed shaking his head but i scrunch my face shaking my head

"No he don't. He just thinks he's going to get replaced as my best friend" I told him

"And he don't see you in love with him too? Damn ya'll blind. I think i need to take you to the eye doctor" He said shaking his head getting up

"I'm not in love with him" I protested "And i perfect vision thank you very much" I flipped my hair

"Aye if ya'll wanna lie to yourselves go ahead. Ima go handle some shit and then I'll be back so we can go out to dinner and get some ice cream for your day. I'll take you shopping this weekend. If you go out let me know where you at so i know you good" He kissed my forehead walking out the house

I don't know why people keep saying that we like each other because we clearly don't.

I was snapped out my thoughts when my phone rang with a facetime call from Blast

"Blastie" I yelled once he appeared

"See that's the shit that's gonna get you fucked up now" He blew smoke out pointing his finger at me



"You ain't gonna do shit" I laughed "And why you smoking so early?"

"Keep playing and them little 16 birthday licks gonna turn into 16 ass beatings" He said taking another hit "And it's never too early to smoke fuck you mean"

"Wow beat the birthday girl huh" I shook my head "You ain't shit"

"Yeah yeah. But I just wanted to say Happy birthday" He yelled loud asf

"Gonna tear my eardrums and shit but Thank you blastie"

"Must really want your ass beat" He shook his head "But Anyways I love you kid. Can't believe I've known you since you was 5. You know what that means" He smirked

"You better not!"

"Too late" He said hanging up

I facetimed him back but he denied it.

"This bastard" I said out loud as i got a notification from IG.

I clicked on it seeing he posted a throwback



Polo.capalot and 100 others liked this @lilblast1300: Happy Birthday to my girl since them kindergarten days🤣 She thought I ain't have no throwbacks of her but she through WRONG! This girl has been through the worst of the worst with me. Since kindergarten we've been rocking. If you see her and Polo then you see me and vice versa. I would say she's my best friend but Polo gonna kill me so I'll settle for right hand 😭 But happy 16th birthday Nahla. I love you and you already know how I'm rocking behind you 🤞🏽

@1300wooski: Look at the innocent little Nahla😭 But happy birthday girl @NahlaDaBoss

@polo.capalot: Nope She ain't nobody's best friend but mine 🤷🏽‍♂️ get beat tf up

@NahlaDaBoss: WOW! You took it way back 😩 nobody needed to see that big ass forehead bro🤦🏽‍♀️ I love you too😘

I rolled my eyes at Mir's comment. I'm you best friend but you not talking to me? Boy bye

I got up heading to my room so i could pick some to wear while I picked something to wear for the day.

I honestly didn't want to do anything besides sleep but i knew nobody was going to let me sleep.

Walking in my room i sat on my bed plugging my phone up. I stared at my closet for a minute before saying fuck it and just laying back unlocking my phone.

I was about to get on twitter when a facetime call from Tee came through

"Hey" smiled seeing him pop up on my screen



"Hey baby. What you doing?" He asked

"Laying down. I was suppose to be getting ready but laying down sounds much better" I laughed and he just shook his head

"Lazy ass" He laughed "Get up so we can do some for your birthday"

"I don't want too" I pouted

"So you don't want no food?" He raised his eyebrow

"Nah I'm good"

"You sure you good? You never turn down food"

"Yeah babe. I'm good I just really wanna take a nap right now" I told him but truth was my mood had switch and I just wanted to be alone.

"Okay then take a nap and call me when you wake up. I love you"

"I love you too" I said hanging up

I don't know why but I just wanted to cry all of a sudden. I hated not having my parents around and this was going to be the first year that Mir wasn't going to spend my birthday with me. He usually made me feel better and just let me cry it out.

Him and Blast were the only ones really here for me. My grandparents were always working so they never paid me any attention. They barely really cared what I did as long as I came home without being hurt.Dre hates me so he could care less and Tez was around and cared but the streets and his girlfriend of the week were more important. So this year I felt completely alone.

As tears started to fall I got a notification from IG. I clicked on it











(Excuse my sucky attempt to photoshop) Lilblast and 200 others liked this Polo.capalot: Man Who said I ain't know this girl since kindergarten? After she uppercutted my ass for messing with her she became my best friend. And who said my best friend ain't finer than wine?This girl means the world to me. I love her with everything in me.She's always there when I need her no matter how much of an asshole I be. Since kindergarten until now she's never left my side. From sleeping over each other's houses to family vacations together. We've been through it all. Hell and back and still strong. We sleepover each other's houses so much that now We can't sleep if we not with each other. Nahla I know I've been an asshole and I'm really sorry. Also I miss my best friend! So do you forgive me? So I can go over and take a nap with you cause I know you haven't been sleeping either!

I laughed as tears fell after reading his message. I was getting ready to reply when I heard banging on my door.

I walked out my room jogging to the door. I peeped through the hole and seen Mir standing there

I opened the door laughed before hugging him

"Happy birthday" I hugged bag before he handed me a bag.

"Thank you" I told him as I walked in

He walked in behind me and i closed the door before heading to my room

"So we taking a nap right cause a nigga tired" He sat on my bed taking his shoes off before laying down

"Yes Mir we can take a nap" I laughed throwing him a blanket before getting in bed myself

We got comfortable and soon started dozing off.
