NOT EDITED

Two Months Later

DeShawn Jefferson (Wooski)

"What you wearing to the listening party?"Blast asked taking a seat on the chair I had in the room. Him and Duckio decided to come kick it at my crib today.

"Shit. I ain't even thought about that shit"I was so busy tryna get my grades up I had forgotten that Polo was having a party.

The party was suppose to happen last month but Polo wasn't really feeling it so they pushed everything to tomorrow

"I ain't even tryna go low key"Duckio shook his head pulling out a pack of woods from his pocket

"why not?"I asked raising an eyebrow because one thing about Duckio he ain't never missing no type of party.

"Cause I ain't fucking with the way he did my good sis Nahla"He opened the pack of woods gutting one of them.

"Aw yeah that shit was fucked up but I'm torn like a motherfucker"I shook my head sighing "Like Polo my nigga and shit but Nahla my best friend too so like who's side I choose?"

"We on the same boat nigga. Like we already seen how quick she was to cut us all off when Polo ain't tell her about him coming into town. I ain't tryna get cut off again"Blast said breaking down the weed.

"So let's hit the store so we can get an outfit and we'll invite Nahla. Try and spend some time with her so she don't feel some type of way"I shrugged not having a better plan

"We could do that"Duckio shrugged

Unlocking my phone I went to Nahla's name facetiming her. The phone rang a bit before the call finally connected and Nahla popped up on the screen.



"Damn Nahla fuck you look mad for?"I asked seeing that she was mugging the shit out of me and I know ain't do shit "And yo ass really dyed yo hair back red?"I laughed because she stays dying her hair

"You interrupted my show"She rolled her eyes "Nah I'm just playing"She laughed "Hey Wooski!"She smiled "And yes I did. The black got boring for me"

"Hey Nahla"Blast and Duckio yelled at the same time getting closer so that they could be in the camera

"Hey. What you guys doing?"Nahla questioned sitting up adjusting herself and the phone

"We about to smoke a wood and then hit the store. You tryna slide?"

"Uh yeah I'll go. I don't really have anything to do today"She shrugged "What store?I'll have Dre or Tez drop me off once I'm ready"

"Meet us at Orland mall since you live out that way anyway"Nahla and her brothers ended up moving from Glencoe to Orland Park

"Ight just let me know when ya'll close so I could leave out"She said getting out of her bed "Tez,Dre"She yelled out I'm guessing so she could tell them about the plans.

"I'll hit yo line when we near"I told her hanging up so we could finish up smoking and leave out before it got too late.

2 Hours Later

We pulled up to the mall looking for a place to park. Nahla should be meeting us here any second.

"Damn this bitch packed as fuck"Blast said as he circled around again looking for a parking spot closer to the door.

"Nigga just park anywhere at this point"Duckio told him getting irritated

"Dude yo ass just smoked ain't no reason why you should be tweaking right now"I laughed shaking my head.

After circling the parking lot a few more times we had finally found a spot that wasn't that far from the entrance. Once Blast parked the car we all hopped closing the car doors before heading towards the entrance. Reaching the entrance we seen Nahla was getting out the car as well.She waved once she seen us approaching. The windows of the truck she was riding in rolled down revealing Tony and Frankie

"Ya'll better take care of Nahla or that's ya'll lives"Tony smirked speeding off and out the parking lot.

"I swear yo fucking cousins scare me"I shook my head giving Nahla a hug followed by Blast and Duckio.

"Don't be scare"Nahla laughed "They won't do nothing to you guys because they know ya'll my best friends

"That don't matter to them"Blast said walking in the mall looking around "What store should we hit first?"

"Think I know a store that might have what we need"Duckio began walking away leading us to the store.

The mall seem more crowded than usual. There was so many people in here that it was nearly impossible to walk through this bitch. We finally found the store Duckio was talking about and headed inside. Unlike the rest of the mall it was pretty empty in here.

"So what's the special occasion?"Nahla asked going through the rack "This would look nice on you Duckio"She held up a shirt handing it to him

"Uh we wanted to talk to you about some"I put the shirt I had back on the rack "We wanted to know if you was cool with us going to Polo's listening party?"

"Wanted yo approval before we go ahead and buy an outfit for tomorrow"Duckio took the shirt from her checking it out

"Ya'll don't have to ask for my approval"Nahla chuckled "Polo is ya'll best friend so I expect you guys to be there supporting him. I'll never make you guys choose between us"

"You sure? Cause I'll drop Polo ass quick"Duckio said making Nahla laugh shaking her head

"I'm positive and besides I'm attending the party too"She shrugged going through the rack picking up a shirt handing it to Blast

"You are?"I questioned because I honestly didn't think she would want anything to do with Polo after their breakup

"I wasn't going to go at first but Leilani begged me so I gave him. Besides just because things ended the way they did doesn't mean I still don't support him and his dream. Even if he couldn't support mine"

The guys and I looked at each then back at Nahla wondering if she knew that Polo was planning on bringing another female to the party with him.

"What's wrong?"Nahla looked at us with a raised eyebrow "Why'll looking at each other like some wrong? You don't think I should go?"

"If you want to go then go but I think you should knowing something before you do"Duckio looked over at me guessing he wanted me to take over and finish telling her

"What should I know?"

"Nahla we're going to tell you something but we don't want you to get hurt. We know how hard the whole break up with Polo has been for you but Polo's taking another girl to the party with him"I watched Nahla's whole demeanor change. Her face got serious as she crossed her arms across her chest



"Nigga really has the audacity to take another female?"Nahla laughed "It's cool though he can do whatever he wants"She shrugged her shoulders walking away heading towards the female section

"Tomorrow is going to be really interesting"Blast shook his head watching Nahla walk away "Hope Polo know what he's getting himself into"

Taking a deep breath I walked over to where Nahla was so I could make sure she was good because I know how much she loves Polo so hearing the news definitely broke her

"Aye Nahla you good?"

"No"She shrugged "But I'll be fine"She gave me a small smile as she picked up a dress off the rack"It's life. What am I suppose to do? Waste all my life crying about a man who could care less about me or the relationship we had?"She asked but I honestly didn't even know how to respond "One thing Mir has failed to realize is that just like he have all these females waiting in line I have all these guys in line waiting for me"

Nahla Reese

I'm not going to sit here and lie like hearing that Mir already had my replacement ready didn't hurt me. Because it did but I was tired of crying. Tired of wishing for things to be different. That wasn't going to anything for me but ruin me

"I'm sorry G"Wooski hugged me "I'll beat his as if you want me to"He shrugged pulling away making me laugh

"I'll let know"I laughed "But I'll be good. Now let me find a killer outfit for the party"I smirked looking through the rack full of dresses.

Wooski walked away going over to where Duckio and Blast were leaving me alone to do my shopping alone. Taking a deep breath I pulled my phone out Facetiming Savage who quickly answered my call.



"Wassup baby girl?"

"Girl you look so pretty"My brother really got lucky getting a female like her "Blonde really looks good on you"

"Thank you"She smiled at me "What's wrong though? You looking a little down"She questioned raising her eyebrow

"You with my brother?"I asked before I began telling her about what I just found out. I really needed some advice and Savage was literally the only female in my life that I could count on.

"Why it matter?"I heard Dre talking before I seen his hand appear on the screen followed by his face.



"Because it's girl talk Dre"I playfully rolled my eyes "Can you pass the phone back to Savage please?"

"Nah"He shook his head "Where yo ass at?"He asked looking at the camera I'm guessing trying to figure out where I was at

"Did you not read my text? I told you and Tez that I was going to the mall with the guys. Frankie and Tony dropped me off"

"Damn I ain't even see it"He picked up his phone "So what you want Savage for?"

"Nigga give me my shit"She snatched her phone back "You don't want to talk with yo brother here?"

"I guess it don't matter"I shrugged because I knew I was going to have to tell them eventually "But you know how Mir's listening party is tomorrow?"

"Yeah what about it?"

"I just found out that he's bringing another girl to the party. Mans has a whole fucking date already"I told her trying to keep myself together

"Aw hell nah. I just know his scrawny ass ain't trying to play like that"Savage laughed shaking her head "He really got life and you fucked all the up"

"Real fucked up. Nigga think I won't put a bullet through his head?"I heard Dre say and I knew he really wanted to but was holding back for my sake.

When I first told Tez and Dre that Mir broke up with me they were so heated. And then when I told them the reason behind it they lost it. They grabbed their guns and ran out the door ready to go kill him. Luckily I was able to calm them or else who knows what would've happened.

"We're going to come get you right now. Your brother will drop us off at home while he goes and gets us food. That way we can talk better"Savage said and I agreeded because I honestly was ready to go.

"See you should just move in. You already calling it home"Dre said making me laugh. He's been trying to get Savage to move in with us for the longest but she wasn't folding.

"Boy shut up"She hit him "This is not the time for that so bust this U and hurry yo ass up"I heard Dre smack his lips but did exactly what she said.

"Wait but I need to buy a dress for it"I told her remembering that I still didn't have anything to wear

"Don't worry about that.I'll get you right. Be outside"She smirked hanging up the phone.Sliding my phone back in my pocket I looked around the store seeing if I could find the guys. Spotting them I quickly made my way over to them so I could let them know that I was leaving

"You good Nahla?"Blast asked once he seen me approaching them "Which one?"He held up the three shirts he had in his hand

"The blue one for sure"I grabbed the blue one from him "And yeah I'm good but Dre on his way to come get me"

"Damn already?"Wooski asked looking disappointed

"Yeah just got off the phone with him but I'll see you guys tomorrow at the party"I smiled giving them each a hug

"You still going?"Duckio raised his eyebrow giving me a serious look. Guess they didn't expect me to still go after the news

"Of course. I'll call you guys tonight. Be safe"I waved to them while I exited the store heading into the busy mall looking for the exit.

I walked through the mall looking around at all the happy couples. It was honestly starting to irritate me. The fact that I was about to go home and be able to lay in my bed really made me feel better.

Exiting the mall I instantly saw Dre's truck parked out front. Smiling I jogged to the truck hopping in

"Hi guys"I greeted putting my seat belt on as Dre pulled off and out the parking lot "You guys got here quick where were you?"

"We were about to go eat at Outback"Dre said mugging me through the mirror making me laugh. Guess Savage seen because she smacked his arm

"We still going to eat Outback Dre. You just going to get it to go"Savage shrugged giving me a smile "Your brother is going to drop us off at home and go pick up the food so we can eat"

"Savage you turned a $80 dinner to possibly a fucking $200-$300 dinner. Forgot we got like hundred niggas living in the house now"

After everything went down with my brothers Tony and Frankie thought it would be better if they moved in with us. And Of course Shooter thought we needed extra protection and moved in too. So we bought a bigger house and relocated to Orland park

"You want me to pay for it then?"Savage grabbed her purse pulling out her wallet passing Dre her card

"Man put that shit back"He pushed her hand away from him as we pulled into the driveway.

"Then stop acting like a broke nigga"Savage put her wallet back in her purse getting out the car closing the door.

I shook my head laughing because these two stayed fighting but it was never anything serious. I unbuckled my belt getting out the car seeing that they were still arguing

"Can ya'll stop? I'll get us free Outback"I shrugged walking inside the house "Frankie"I yelled out seeing where he was at. I knew all 4 were home because all the cars were here. "Frankie"

"In the kitchen"I heard Frankie's voice yell out. I smiled walking into the kitchen finding Frankie looking through the fridge and Shooter going through the pantry. I swear the food never last in this house with these two "Wassup La?"He asked once he seen me

"Frankie"I pouted making my way over to where he was standing giving him a hug "You know I love you right?"

"Aw hell she wants something"Tez laughed shaking his head "Better cough up yo wallet homie"He shook his head

"What you want?"Frankie looked suspiciously down at me for a minute before finally hugging me back

"Can you buy me Outback?"

"Hell nah. Ask your brothers"He pushed me off making me laugh

"Nah cause you owe me. Every time I ask you for some food you tell me yeah and then get someone else to pay for it so"I crossed my arms. He looked at everyone else in the room then back at me. Shaking his head he took his wallet out handing me his card. "Thank you"I kissed his cheek walking away.

Walking out the kitchen I handed Dre Frankie's card. Grabbing Savage I dragged her out the kitchen and up the stairs.

"Wait come in your brothers room"She grabbed my hand pulling me into Dre's room closing and locking the door

I took a seat on the bed while I watched her going through Dre's closet. Savage swears up and down she don't want to move in but her whole room is here. She needs to just stop playing and move in here with me so I won't be the only girl no more. She walked out the closet with two dresses in her hand.

"These two will have Polo on his fucking knees the minute he sees you"She held the dresses up revealing a long sparkly sliver dress with the back exposed and a slit on the side along with an orange mini dress that crossed over my chest exposing it. "Try them on and let's see how they fit you"She handed them to me.

I quickly undressed deciding to try on the sliver one first. Sliding it on I automatically fell in love with the way that it was hugging my body. Walking over to the mirror I did a quick spin making sure that it fit good all around. Nodding my head in approval I took the dress off carefully placing it on the bed. Grabbing the orange one I slid it on walking over to the mirror doing the same.

"Damn Nahla"Savage checked me out making sure everything was good "These look way better on you than they do me "She complimented making me smile. "Now you just do your make up real cute and I'll do your hair. I can even curl it and baby you're going to be ready to break some hearts"

"You're going to curl my locs? They take forever"I loved curling my locs but man it was a fucking mission curl each one

"We'll start tonight and have it done by tomorrow. I'll worry about your hair. You just worry about looking fine tomorrow. What you're going to do about the date situation?"

"I have the perfect date in mind"I smriked. I was ready for this party because one thing for sure and two things for certain Mir's going to regret ever letting me go
