lastnight after sydney told me what happened, i couldn't stop thinking about it, like what the fuck. im happy i didn't have to go through anything like that, but i feel for her. i just wonder what her momma did and what possessed her momma to do that business from her house.
"hey" i said, walking in the kitchen
"hey girl"
"what time you getting your things" i asked
"whenever he call and tell me they made it to the house"
"alright"
"can you come with me" she asked
"yeah of course, i'll come"
"i don't mean to put any of my drama on you or involve you in any of it either"
"you good, i'd rather be in it with you than you be in it alone, like whatever you're going through"
"that's why i love you" she said giving me a hugged
i hugged her back
"it's so hard not to tell tae, but i'd rather him not knowing than him knowing" she said
"yeah me too, he might try to do something hisself"
tae is crazy over her. so him not knowing is definitely for the best.
"he been tryna pick me up and bring me somewhere, but im just making excuses"
"are they working?" i asked
"he think i don't wanna go cause im taking another nigga serious, so no, im finna tell that nigga my momma died"
"one, no, you can jinx her .. two, he gonna know that's a lie"
