"momma i'm homeeeee" I said as I walked in the house.

"brandiiiiii" my sister ran to the front door and jumped on me.

"hi baby" I hugged her back.

"i missed you"

"i missed you too"

Ma- "is that my first borrnnnn"

"yes ma'am it issss" I put Bailey down and hugged my momma.

Ma- "how you been baby"

"good, glad to be home permanently again" I said as we walked to the kitchen and sat down.

B- "we goin ova tt house sunday" she said smiling.

Ma- "yea and you'd never guess who finally came home"

"who?"

B- "Jah" I hid my true reaction to that and smiled.

Ma- "it'll be nice for y'all to see each other cause it's been so long"

"yea"

Ma- "but have you found a place? job?"

"yup, made sure i did everything before coming back, didn't wanna have to stay here till i found sum"

Ma- "damn why not" she asked scrunching up her face.

"not like that momma" I said laughing

"but once I get fully moved in and stuff i'll have y'all over"

Ma- "maybe ask jah to help you move in"

"naw i got it" I said quickly shutting that idea down.

"but, i did just come to say hi, i have grown women things to do" I said getting up.

B- "you're leaving again?" she asked and you could see the sadness in her eyes.

"i'm coming back li, i promise i'm not leaving leaving this time" she smiled again and hugged me. I hugged my mom and then left out.

I was in school in North Carolina which is far from my home in Chicago. So, they weren't able to visit as much but we got on facetime a lot but it still wasn't enough. I'm glad I'm back, as much as I always said I wanted to move away from here when I was younger this is my home and a city I love dearly. I will be traveling like a mothafucka tho.

I made my way ova to my apartment which was downtown so you know I'm paying big money to live here. I like it though.

"hi you must be brandi?" this stunning older black women said.

"yes that's me"

"great, your movers came by earlier and dropped everything off, i let them into the apartment"

"i wish they would've called and said they were coming earlier, i would've been here, i'm sorry"

"you're fine sweetheart, but if you need any other help i'll gladly call somebody"

"thank you" I smiled at her and went up. Once I got to the apartment everything was in the front.

"damn, they coulda did this better" I spoke to myself. The first few things I saw that were easy to move around was stuff for the guest bedrooms. I took my stuff off and put my hair up and got to work. I'm so used to moving stuff around because when I was younger I'd change my room around so much and I did the same in college so I honestly got this. Ion like asking for help no way.

I didn't finish everything but I finished enough so I could sleep somewhere tonight. I start working again in two days so I have to set that room up tomorrow and good thing my wall stuff comes for it tomorrow. I already am booked for it, which is great causeeee I wanna go shopping and you needs money fa that.

It's not that late so I'm heading to the store to get me a few things for me to eat. As I was getting in the car I gotta call.

"HOE YOU BACK HOME AND AIN'T CALL MEEE!!!" my best friend Soraya yelled through the phone.

"sorry bae"

"sorry bae my ass, bitch" I laughed and then I got quiet cause I heard crying.

"i missed you so much and you just didn't tell me you were back"

"i'm sorry poo"

"whatever, ima come see you tomorrow" and she sounded fine. Lord I love her bipolar ass. We met right before I went to college.

"i gotta finish my apartment bookie"

"uhhh then i'll help, i just took my nails off and just took my sew-in out. girl i'm ready to work" I laughed hard and put my airpods in as I got out the car.

"i definitely missed you" I told her.

"ughhh i know right, buutttt-"

"who party" cause she always drag out words when she wanna go somewhere.

"a rapper's"

"who's?"

"top shatta" I've heard of him and some of his music, he's good.
