Yesterday was wild. I sat up in Eneaj's bed, and she wasn't next to me. All of a sudden, I heard arguing downstairs.

Yenvy's loud ass and my girlfriend's voice.

"What is it now?" I mumbled, throwing the covers off and jogging downstairs.

Jadyn, Milli, Pey, and Jacinth were all here too. They spent the night after we came back from Dallas, and we all pieced together the night of the club. It was confirmed that Kaley had assaulted my girlfriend, and that she had drugged me, Yenvy, and Eneaj. Now, both of Yenvy's friends are MIA too, probably scared shitless. Kaley was Jacinth's ex's ex or something, and they had fooled around back in the day, and she went to the same school as Eneaj before, something something, and now Kaley felt like Jacinth wanted my girl and not Kaley no more so she was jelly.

But to put everybody back up to speed, Yenvy and Eneaj had a big ass argument last night around all the issues that had been bothering them since the DND at the park thing to yesterday.

I glanced out the windows and it was still dark out. They over here arguing before the rooster crows. I pulled Yenvy away from Eneaj, ending the hair pulling.

"You pullin' hair like a bitch. I wanna throw fists," Eneaj stated.

"What's goin' on?" Fifth asked sleepily, coming down the stairs.

"World War III," Jadyn said right behind her.

"You shoulda been throwin' fists with Val," Yenvy snapped at her.

"Go get Pey. Tell her to come down here and handle Yenvy," Jadyn nudged Fifth. "Wake Milli up too."

"Peytyn don't needa do shit with Yenvy," Yenvy said, putting her hair back into a bun, "She nothing to me."

"Why you fightin' with the people who hold you down, shawty? We all supported you when you was at your lowest," I stated, trying to calm Yenvy down.

"The fuck you got yo hands on her for," Eneaj snapped at me. "Ain't shit to hold back. I'll snap her ass."

"I can't be fightin'. This BBL still new in my eyes. Ion got time fa this," Yenvy rolled her eyes.

"You don't wanna fight because you can't."

"You jealous that your girlfriend's eyes roamin' because you always wanna fuss with her," Yenvy stated.

"Ain't nobody's eyes roamin', so chill onnat," I warned.

"How bout everybody get out my damn house then?"

"How bout I run my own damn lounge up in Dallas and leave you to scramble around and do cases and handle the mansion's bills on ya own?" Eneaj said, laughing, "What a lot of y'all in this house don't know is that yea, Yenvy asked me to move down to Houston because she missed me and she was lonely, yada yada yada, but also because she couldn't afford these bills on ha own. The mansion plus the flashy Bentley."

"Bitch please," Yenvy rolled her eyes, crossing her arms.

"You couldn't afford this place by yourself before when you were working for the firm, and you won't be able to do it now either wit you freelancin' cases and me taking away the venue deal."

Yenvy stood silently, anger brewing in her eyes.

"Did I lie?" Eneaj asked.

"I think we all just needa calm down," Peytyn stated, coming down the stairs.

Yenvy flew across the room, grabbing Eneaj's and throwing the weakest punches ever known to man.

Eneaj easily took over the fight, and slammed her on the floor. She backed up staring down at Yenvy with the broken nose.

"I'll get out your mansion," Eneaj stated, "And take my money and my business elsewhere."

"Eneaj. Y'all been friends for the longest-

"Sometimes it be the bitches you know," Eneaj said coldly, staring down at Yenvy as she clutched her nose, tears running down her face.

"Come stay with me and the crew," Jadyn immediately offered. "We in Zinnias and you'll be closer to your club."

"We'll be getting a hotel, thank you," I told Jadyn.

"Fuck you not likin' me," Jadyn sighed, "Just come stay with us. We all gotta stick together."

"Pleaseee don't come to my hotel with all this drama," Fifth said, going back into the room she had spent the night in.

"I wanna stay with the crew," Eneaj told me softly, "I wanna be around people who care right now."

"Well," I looked at her and kissed her on the forehead, "I guess we can go."

"The offer wasn't extended to you boo," Milli said, then bust out laughing seeing my expression. "I'm just playin'. It's gon be hella cramped up in there."

"We can go back to sharin' beds. Even if for a little while," Jadyn smiled. "But let's get out before Yenvy start up again."

We all went back to our rooms to pack up. Eneaj sent for a moving truck for our things to be put into storage. Yenvy slinked back to her room without another word, probably trying to figure out a way to sue all of us.

Once things at the mansion were taken care of, we all split off between the Civic and Eneaj's car to go back to Zinnias. Then, we dropped Jacinth off before we stopped by the store to get a few things for the apartment.

"You called your mom yet?" I asked, as Eneaj pulled into the complex lot.

"No," she took in a deep breath, "I need to talk with her though. I know she's worried and she doesn't even know half the story."

"Make sure you do that," I told her softly.

"I'm just glad I'm outta that mansion. I couldn't stand being around Yenvy no more," she admitted.

"It's crazy how she took a turn towards this."

"Now with her actin' like this, it makes me really question her role in the whole Kaley thing. Even though she was drugged too."

"And who's to say she really was? She could've lied about everything she doesn't remember," Jadyn mentioned as we got out the Charger.

"I think I just see her in a totally different light now," Pey commented, closing the door to the Civic, parked next to us. "Maybe she did have a hand in things."

"The mission we were doin' for her. I mean, do we just drop that or what? Do we start looking into her and Kaley now?" Milli asked.

"I say we- Well, y'all, do both," Eneaj stated. "I'll pay you guys to look into Illiora's death since we don't fool wit Yenvy no more. But we definitely gotta see what happened with this whole club incident and that Kaley girl."

"I agree," Jadyn stared at her.

I kept my expression guarded, my arms folded.
