DESTINY
1 MONTH LATER

"Girl I thought I was finna have this mans baby that night." I laughed with the blunt in my hand.

Nelli was finally up, walking and talking. Fortunately, the bullets didn't hit anything vital but she still had some recovering to do in the meantime.

Over time, both our mamas had been talking and helped us decide on staying or leaving off campus and into a nice 2 bedrooom, 2 bathroom apartment nearby for our safety. It wasn't no secret that niggas could act up, so I agreed that we moved as well as Nelli.

"Bitch I can't believe you folded like that, he must got that good good, bitches can't stop smilingggg eww!" Nelli said laughing and nudging me in the arm. I laughed at her cus she ain't never lied. He got my heart, in the most respectable way though. We definitely built a friendship before anything but somehow, we always knew what it was from the beginning so some shit was just bound to happen.

"How Rell doing?" Nelli asked with a bit of tension in her tone.

After she had gotten shot, It was as if Rell entered his 'crash out' era and was ready for anything. Unfortunately, all his attention went from building a better bond and relationship  with Nelli, to finding out whoever it was that shot her. I felt for her because the last thing she needed was to feel abandoned by her partner, or whatever they were. But hell, I can also attest to how Nelli felt as I was going through the same shit, Tyree wasn't any different at the moment.

"I don't really know. Him and Tyree be chillin a lot and I do be noticing how he been more stand-offish now." I disappointedly stated. "Girl, this shit really fucked them up.." I added shaking my head. Over the past month, everybody's energy been off honestly. It's as if me, Nelli, and school don't exist to them and the main focus is on the opps and shit.

"I mean, this shit is deep... because we still don't know who the fuck did this shit to me." Nelli stated."Shit just ain't making no sense."

"Bitch actually, I heard Trey was suppose to be meeting up with some bitch to get to one of these GBG niggas soon. But I don't know how safe that shit is." I said back passing her the blunt.

"Oop.. he don't need to be by himself doing shit tho. Clearly that ain't it." Nelli said motioning her hands up and down herself in reference to her very own situation. I agree, anybody could get knocked off at any point in time being that somebody, somehow, someway, knows Tyree and who he's connected to.

"Girl I'll see what's goin on whenever I get back with Tyree." I said to her getting up from her side of the bed. "You want sum ice cream, I got the munchies bitch." I asked pulling out my phone now going to Uber Eats.

"Girl yea, gimme sum... gimme sum Strawberry ice cream and fudge brownie." She said taking a hit from the blunt.

"Beettt." I dragged out with a happy smile. I ordered the ice cream and texted Tyree while I was at it to check on him.

Hey bae, everything coo ?

Tyree🔐
Yea

Wya ?

Tyree🔐
I'm out, wassup

I was just thinkin bout you, that's all 🙄

Tyree🔐
Well I'm straight shorty

Since all this bullshit been going on, I'll be satisfied with just a reply from Tyree. Lately, he been either at Rello crib or just outside danglin all the time. I barely see him on campus anymore either and everytime I try to talk to him, he shuts me out. I don't understand what the fuck his issue is with me, but I swear I'm not finna do this with him. We too grown to be shutting people out like this, especially people who genuinely fucking care. I sent a text to him saying we need to talk because I won't continue to do this shit without the same energy being reciprocated in some way.
