CHICAGO IL,
MARIYAH'S CRIB
SUNDAY;
Mariyah's POV:
I didn't like how Adam was acting yesterday that shit really through me off. Now, I know he ain't ask to come or whateva but he was acting straight up mean and selfish especially towards Jae Jae. I could just tell her whole vibe was thrown off and honestly seeing her like that made me nervous I don't like seeing my best friend sad or upset I like to see her smiling having fun.
Now usually it would be vice versa since I'M the anxious one, always stressing over unnecessary things and Jae Jae would calm my nerves by trynna comfort me. So, this time the roles were reversed. Although, I was shocked at what happened yesterday because even though me and my brother are always the type to argue and fight I didn't expect him to do all that yesterday especially to Jae Jae. Ion know maybe I'm just overthinking it but I can definitely tell she felt embarrassed and uncomfortable. I click on her contacts and decided to text her to see how she was doing.

Jayla's POV:
Me and Riyah went to the Movies yesterday and hung out for the first time inna while. The last time we hung out was doing our summer break. I ain't gone, I like being around Riyah's family they cool people but, her brother was acting kinda strange yesterday. Ion know maybe I'm overthinking it because he is in college now and he's older so maybe it's hormones? (ew that sounded weird) Anyways I shook the thought away and got outta bed. I was about to go downstairs until I overheard my Mother on the phone talking to someone, it sounded like she was arguing with the person because her voice sounded agitated.
"No Sydney I don't have money to give you have you forgot I got kids and bills to pay??" I heard her say. Sydney is my auntie, her and my Mother never got along mostly because she was always this self centered, selfish, desperate woman who only cared about herself and her needs but when she's knocked off her feet she wanna come begging for help. My Mother, being the kind woman she is always helped her get back on her feet and she took that for granted. She thinks that since my Mother is kind and caring that she'll always help her no matter what just because their sisters which I think is absolutely Ridiculous.
"Sydney I can't keep doing this, giving you money everytime you go broke you're a grown ass woman that's your responsibility not mine" She said. I sit on the stairs quietly listening to her talk. "Go ask Ma or Chris for money, you always coming to me why don't chu ask them?" She said. 'Auntie always askin' for money' I thought. I knew it wasn't my place to be listening but, I couldn't help it. My family was very dysfunctional and so hearing my Aunt's name in the conversation wasn't the first and probably wouldn't be the last.
"You know what...fine I'll do it but this is the last time I'm doin' this, you can't keep goin' to yo family for help all the time. Maybe if you had a damn job you wouldn't be so broke all the time" She said. "Why don't chu ask yo baby daddy for money? I'm sure he got it" She added. 'Dang my momma's a menace' I thought.
"I'll bring it to you tomorrow when I drop Jayla off at school" She said before hanging up. I hurried back to my room and quietly closed the door.
