Because Of The Journey.

27.

7:34 PM, Alex's house,

"Don't cry Lex, she doesn't even deserve you" I said to Alex who was crying like she just got divorced. "Nah Shiggy don't sugarcoat this, you didn't even tell Merc' you like her Alex. She didn't know, so don't be balling your eyes out son" Lando was telling the truth but Alex just cried even harder.

She took the bottle of Henny that was on top of the table before gulping it down like it was water or something. She then started singing "Too much liquor known to make you call a nigga, *hiccup. And I done had too muchhhhh" she dragged the 'muchhhh'. She paused and looked at me then started singing again "Which is givin' me excuses to make me think I want you when I don't", "Don't play yourself like that Alex you really want her" Ice said lighting up a blunt.

"Why is Sisi crying?" Ty asked coming down the stairs. "She got dump.." "She's sick" I said cutting Lando short. "Will she be owkay?", "Yeah she'll be alright bouy" I said roughing up his curls. "You want some milkshake?","Yes please". "He won't sleep baby" Ice said, "You'll stay up with him then Papi" I said kissing her forehead. "Let's go Ty".

We got to the kitchen and I decided to just give him warm milk and cookies because milkshake was surely going to make him hyper for real. He got done and I took him to his room, tucked him in bed and said Goodnight. When I got downstairs Lando and Ice were laughing their asses out while Alex was still slurring her words and not making any sense.

I mean I didn't know that Mercury had this effect on Alex. I guess this crush was way more than just a 'little crush'.

"What y'all laughing at?" I asked Ice and Lando. "Alex wrote Mercury something, it's sweet" Lando said before looking at Ice, "like honey" they said in unison laughing yet again. "Let me see it", I said smiling because that's cute for real. I mean maybe I'd cry if someone took their precious time and decided to write me a poem or a love letter. And just imagine someone singing for you. To me it really doesn't matter if they can sing or not I just appreciate it when I can see that they are really trying to make me happy.

"Aye Alex, let Shiggy hear it" Lando said. Alex tried standing up stumbling a couple of times before successfully standing straight. "Uhmm, so" she said licking her lips and laughing a bit.

"It says:
Summer Wa-lker sees the *hiccup* potential in you,
6lack said I must write you my best song anddd it will ta-ke me all night long,
Brent said life aiiin't perfect but you make it alright,"

"Ohh damnn!" I said getting hyped. "I'm notttt done broo" she said pouting. "Shiggy listen man" Lando said laughing. "Okay my bad Lex, go on."

"Bryson asked if am I your type or I don't have the right to know?,
Breezy said 'she' don't deserve your time, put 'her' on a bench a while let me do you better"

"Yessirr, Fuck Christina!" Ice yelled.

"Drake said I want my baby to have your eyes,
Kehlani said that damn Julio made me a fool for you,
Travis said you're sweeeeet like cocoa, but I believe you sweet likeee.."

"Honeyy!" Lando and Ice said before bursting out laughing.

I clapped my hands while laughing, I was so damn impressed. "Yow Lex that's creative bro!", I said. "Thank y-ou I rea-lly appreciate it" she threw herself back on the couch sitting comfortable. "My girl likes it when I sing to her" Lando said. We looked at him and laughed. Lando can't sing yowww! Like if he had to sing in order to save our lives, let's just say it's RIP to all of us. I can't sing too but I'll definitely sing for my girl.

We sat in peaceful silence before Ice spoke. "Y'all think Chris threatened her to get back with her?" she asked with her eyes closed. "She couldn't even look at us straight in the eyes when she said all that bullshit. What if Chris said it's either they get back together or she dies?" Lando asked. "Do-n't be playing like thattt Lando *hiccup* she loves that mushroom shaped, big headed Christina andddd there's nothing 'we can do ab-out thatt' *hiccup*." Alex said annoyed.

"We all do crazy things for love, love is blind, love is dumb and Mercury is dumbfounded" I said. "Christina is like a drug, an addictive drug at that. She's just so toxic but Mercury don't see that" Ice said lighting up the 10nth if not 11nth blunt.

Fading by Elijah Blake started playing and I sang along,
"She's got no soul but still young minded
Yeah she's got a habit for drinking and driving
She pour it up, her tears are falling down
Looking for love but no one stays around"

Ice joined singing softly,
"The worlds on fire, it's so cold right now
In her head, in her bed
She told her mama don't worry, papa don't preach
She only need knowledge to help her get sleep
Throw some syrup in the red cup
Watch her blowing on that cannabis"

"I just don't want y'all to hear what my girl hears, I'm like the next upcoming Tory Lanez" Lando said fixing his imaginary tie. "Oh yeah? You the shit man!" that was Alex hyping him up.

"Y'all, we sticking together till the end right?" Alex asked. "Yessirr" I said. "Yeah, I know for sure Avah was going to agree if she was here", Lando said. "If a nigga decides to switch up like Mercury what do we do?" Ice asked. "None", me and Alex said in unison. "We don't cry like you did Lex?" Lando asked making Alex to roll her eyes. "I wasn't crying", "Ohh yeah? What were you doing then?" I asked.

"Y'all dumb if y'all think I'll everr cry for a girl, that couldd-d never be me", we all laughed and did the Milly Rock. "It's Gang Over Luv niggas!" Ice said.

"Gang Over Luv!" we all said in unison.
