JULY 2nd
LONDON POV
The gang and I was at Charlene's house discussing the funeral, being pregnant was even harder because I was emotional but I was really trying to hold it together today.
I had one cup of henny and coke whilst I was getting ready I know I'm not meant to drink but I'm sure one cup won't hurt it wasn't much I just needed to calm my nerves.
We was all sitting in the living room Charlene had a pen and notebook in her hand writing down anything she needed to remember.
"I think we should get a white horse and carriage with a blue feather on the horse because blue was his favourite colour" I suggested Charlene nodded writing it down
"Ion mind paying for the horse and carriage" kentrell suggested his lil rap career was taking off fast so I'm guessing he was a lil money man now
"Thank you kentrell" Charlene said with a smile on her face
"We should get most of his flowers blue" Ben suggested
"Yeah we should" Jayda agreed
"Got that" Charlene said noting it down
Once we felt like we had prepared everything, Charlene wanted to cook for us so everyone chilled in the living room whilst I helped out as much as I could in the kitchen
"Girl your pregnant take a seat, relax" she said shooing me out the kitchen
"At least let me wash the dishes and put them away after" I said
"Okay" she agreed I felt the urge to pee so I walked up to the bathroom I did what i needed to do, washing my hands and making my way out of the bathroom
I walked past trey's old room debating if I should go inside I figured it could help with closure so I walked inside slowly and took a seat on the bed
Everything was how it used to be white and black themed I walked around his room and seeing a picture of us on his desk I picked it up taking a couple pictures of it on my phone
I sat back down with it in my hand and tears coming to my eyes I tried to blink them away but didn't work
I heard a soft knocks on the door I wiped my tears and they entered
"Oh hey kentrell" I said forcing a smile on my face
"You ight" he asked sounding concerned
"Yeah I'm cool thank you" I said he sat down next to me staring at the picture in my hand
"He loved you, you know that right" he said
"I know it's just hard very fresh still" I replied
"I know it's bound to hurt but eventually it gets easier" he said I nodded agreeing with him
"Why you being so nice all of a sudden if it's cause you feel sorry for me...don't because everyone else is going through the same as me" I said being honest
"Say London you can't just accept my kindness" he said smirking
"I was just wondering cause you wasn't fond of me before" I said
"The first time I heard about you I said yo gangsta and I like you" he said he wasn't lying cause he really did say that
"But then I accidentally brought Arabian around without realising ya'll wasn't cool" he said
"You still been mean for no reason but ight kentrell" he tried to reply but was cut off by Charlene shouting dinner was ready
"Let's go" I said he nodded I put the picture back whilst he made his way down and I wasn't far behind him
"Ooo thanks mama" I said everyone was already seated except me and kentrell so we took a seat and everyone came together to pray and give thanks for our meal
All you could hear was people smacking on they food it was good she cooked curry mutton, rice&peas, plantain, potatoes, and homemade coleslaw with kool-aid to wash it all down
Charlene always been good at cooking her and my mum was close before she went to jail, to be honest I think she calls her every once in a while considering my parents probably know what's happened none of them have tried to reach out but I guess time will tell.
"Charlene this the best Caribbean food I've had in so long" Ben said
"I love cooking so it's my pleasure there's plenty more for ya'll to take home" she said bless her she was putting such a brave face on considering she just lost her son
"Mama ain't playing she even got some for us to take home" maya said making everyone laugh
After we ate me and maya had some cake, then we all made our way home except from kentrell and three who was staying at my house along with me maya and Jayda of course
"Has anyone spoken to nia like where she been lately" I said
"Ion know when I last spoke to her she said she wasn't feeling well so she just gone stay home" maya replied
"Oh" I said this wasn't like nia Ima probably go round to her house later

We got to Ben's apartment and everyone came outside dressed in all black
"Ya'll ready" Ben said
"Yea" I replied followed by everyone nodding
"Let me call the thot who gave me the drop" Three said picking his phone up and calling her whilst I drove to the spot she told us they be at
"She said they there now but there's a shawty in the car" three said
"I ain't sparing none cause they wasn't gone spare London" I said firmly
We took our safety off our guns in the car and slowly got out trying not to make noise, three nodded at the thot to walk away once she did we ran up on them shooting at the car
