" aye I'm on my way !" " riah told me through the phone ." your coming to the game with me ?" I asked her . " duh mf , unlock the door . Love you !" She hung up and I went to go unlock it .
Melo had a game today and I was debating if I should bring mj since he's so young but for the one time I'll do it .
Imani was over two days ago since she was doing a show in l.a so she came over and hung out with us for a little but she had to fly somewhere else this morning sadly , I missed my good sis .
Her and mj was also like the best of friends , he a whole flirt at four months old..just like his dad .
The door opened and riah came to the kitchen running with a worried look .
" why you look like that ?"'I chuckled . " baby who's here !?" Melo shouted from upstairs.
" Mariah !" I responded and he came downstairs . " when I got off the phone with you I kept getting tagged in a post about some plane crash .."
She pulled out her phone and showed me the post . " oh wow..I hope nobody got hurt badly "
" maya..imani was on that plane " her voice cracked and I almost chocked on my saliva .
" no. Are you positive ? Riah stop playing with me " I started pacing back and forth .
" I'm being dead ass . I tried texting and calling her but no one is responding " she said and started biting on her nails .
Her phone and my phone started going off by the second . " wassup bro " Melo was about to dab up her but she covered her mouth with her hand .
" what's going on ..?" He asked and I looked at my phone .
" t-there were only three that survived but were badly injured .." she read so I looked at her phone with her and they showed the names that didn't make it .
We read down just praying imani name wasn't on there..but it was .
" no bro..I don't believe it" riah set her phone down and covered her face .
The situation started going on tmz , the shade room , the news and more .
" maybe something wrong with my eyes " she picked the phone back up and we read over the list again ..we seen her name again and both broke down crying .
" what the hell going on ..." Melo asked confused . " I-imani..she w-was in a plane crash " I cried and his his mouth went wide .
"I don't believe this shit bro " riah cried her eyes out . Melo wrapped his arms around me and her giving us a hug .
" stop touching me with that gay shit" she said to melo .
" I'm tryna comfort you gay nigga " he responded . " nah I want maya to hug me " .
" imma punch you so har-" he was cut off by her " that's why yo son is mines , you are not the father" she remarked from that one show .
" do you wanna see Jesus?" He asked and before she said anything I cut in .
" guys ! Imani just died bro ..and y'all wanna play around !? " I looked in between them .
" imani is gone dude , o-oh my go-" I covered my face trying to control myself .
They came over to me and hugged me . Why mani bro ? I've never been hurt this bad since my uncle Kobe and Gianna .
Her and shareef been together for two years I can't even imagine what he's going through or if he even knows .
She was like a aunt to Malachi, what am I gone tell him when he's older and asking about her ?!
