"Did everything go okay with your opening?"

"Yeah." I answered playing in my food.

"You okay?"

"I just don't feel good." I lied. I was in one of my moods but I didn't wanna tell them that because they'll start acting concerned and shit. I rather be left alone.

"I rode past there on my way to work and y'all was booked and busy. I'm so proud of my nieces." My auntie smiled.

"Leave." I said.

"Excuse me?"

"I said leave."

"Little girl you can't..." I waved her off.

"I married into this family so I can come to whatever I want to."

"And you can get yo ass beat whenever you want to. Get to fucking stepping before I drag yo ass up out of here."
