"Dezure, you coming to Killa house with me?" Darren asked. I nodded my head before applying some lip gloss.

It was now week one of being in this house, Aaliyah throws down in the kitchen and Darren can do hair good as shit.

"Oscar gonna be there?"

"Yea, he live there." She said. Oscar is my bestie, for right now.

"Mama!" Darren yelled. I walked into the kitchen grabbing a plastic bag before grabbing two bags of hot Cheetos, some rice crispy treats, a pack of noodles, three Capri suns, and two gatorades.

I had a feeling that we were gonna be over there for a long time so I just packed a lunch.

"Come on before she change her mind." Darren said grabbing my arm.

"I'm so sorry but I hate your jeans" I said seeing she had a cut below her butt.

"Girl bye, these the best jeans you'll ever see. You look cute though." She smiled at me. I had on a T-shirt dress and some ugg slippers, I made sure to put on some spandex under my dress because I'm going to sleep in somebodies room.

"Thank you, thank you." I said as she bussed in the house.

"WAKE THE FUCK UP." She yelled at Gee.

"How about you shut the fuck up."

"Heyyy Tuti." Markell said.

"Hi Markell." I smiled.

"Hi Killer." I said making KB choke on his water.

"KilLer." Gee mocked.

"Don't knock my sister because she talk a little proper."

"Hi Tuti." He said in a annoyed tone. I didn't even do anything.

I found out everybody's age too, KB was 21, Oscar was 19, Darren was 19, Gee was 22, Markell was 17 and Killa was 21.

"What you got?" Markell said digging through my bag. "Lemme have this" He said hiking up a rice crispy treat. I nodded my head because I had like six more.

"Y'all gotta microwave?" I asked smartly.

"You gone make me punch the shit out you." Kill said cutting his eyes at me.

"Do you?" I asked.

"Yes girl, it's down the hall on the right." Oscar said sarcastically, my dumbass followed the directions l. I entered a room with a stripper pole and some Led lights. The bed was made neatly but there were clothes on the floor.

"She so fucking stupid." Killa said. "How the fuck you gone walk right past the kitchen, bird brain."

He really bout to make me cry, on baby.

"And get the fuck out my room." He said pushing me into the wall. I just stared at it, in completely disbelief. I was in disbelief because I started crying and he really just sat there and pushed me.

"Imma just go home." I mumbled walking past him.

"You crying?"

"You crying, for real Tuti." He asked me.

"You pushes me into the wall and insulted my intelligence." I mumbled while wiping my face.

"You ain't serious, is you?"

"I am."

"Aww"

"You coming to my birthday party?" I asked quietly.

"You really do got worms for brains." He mumbled walking past me. I held my nose trying to stop the pain while walking to the kitchen.

"I don't even want you in here, you might blow some shit up." Killa said grabbing my noodles and pushing me out of the kitchen.

"Can you tell your brother to stop being so mean to me." I said to Oscar.

"He hurting my friend?" He asked. I nodded my head before laying it on his shoulder.

"Lamont" He called out.

"Wait so you mean to tell me, Your mama named you Oscar and him Lamont. She ain't fuck with you." I laughed.

"I've been told."

"Bitch don't yell my government in front of this random." Killa said walking into the living room with my bowl of noodles.

"You made this random a bowl of noodles though."

"Aww Okay" I said as I started eating.

"Didn't I say they was gone be best friends, don't nobody wanna listen to me" Markell yelled.

"We aren't." I said.

"Especially after what he just did." I mumbled.

"What he do friend?" KB Asked.

"He insulted me and pushed me into the wall."

"Abuse? I think sooo."

I looked around for Darren after not hearing her voice for the past five minutes.

"They went to Gee's car, they gone handle so bidness." Markell laughed.

"This sixteen year old don't know nothing about that."

"I'm turning 17 in 2 days."

"Speaking of that, y'all wanna come to my birthday party. It's at Dave and busters." I smiled.

"You make me so happy and warm inside. You happy as hell." Oscar said hugging me.

"Imma be there" Kb said.

"Me too" Oscar and Markell said at the same time.

"Killer?"

"Stop saying that." Kb laughed.

"No." Killa said. Hurting my feelings once again, I thought I had a friend but I guess not.

"Okay, fucking bitch. Dirty ass door mat." I mumbled.

"What?" He said holding his ear.

"I said okay."

"You a bitch, you better say dirty ass door mat with your chest." Oscar whispered in my ear.

"No"

"I'm back y'all." Darren said fixing her bun.

"The real question is, Why? Why are you back?" Markell asked.

"Who's room can I sleep in?" I questioned after feeling my body shut down.

"Down the hall on the right." Oscar laughed. I got up and followed the directions, I was back at the stripper pole room. I kicked the stuff out of my way before sliding my shoes off and climbing into the bed. I turned the Tv on before I fell asleep.

"It's fucking freezing." I mumbled before climbing out of the bed.

"Darren" I whispered. I walked into the living room seeing Darren and Gee asleep on the couch and Markell laid out of the floor. I travels back into the stripper pole room before climbing back on the bed. I found my bag of hot Cheetos, I made the most noise trying to open the bag.

The power cut off. Everything went black. The Little bit of light that I had from the window, gone. I almost shit my shorts. I felt around the bed feeling a body, i shook them.

"Wake up please, go check the power." I cried. I was fucking terrified of the dark.

"Fuck off me" Killa said in his deep raspy voice. I'll let this man do some— now ain't the time.

"Please."

"Ain't shit I can do, the power out in the whole projects."

"I wanna go home." I cried, throwing my head back.

"Bye, the hell."

"Fucking Dirty ass room" I mumbled.

"You can get the fuck out."

"Stop being mean to me man." I said grabbing my phone and turning the flashlight on. I put the light directly on his face making his push me off the bed.

"Playing too fucking much."

"I'm going home." I said grabbing my shoes. Call me dramatic all you want but he gone get enough of pushing me into walls. I help my flashlight as I walked to the door.

"Do I really wanna do this?" I mumbled as I touched the door knob. I opened it before walking out. When I say, there was no light in this projects, I almost passed out. I started walking a little bit using the little bit of light that I had.

"DEZURE, GET YOUR STUPID ASS BACK IN THIS HOUSE." Killa yelled, I'm surprised he didn't wake up the whole fucking projects.

"Stop screaming." I said walking back towards the house.

"You outta your damn mind?" He asked.

"This is like the fourth time you insulted me." I said glaring at him.

"I don't give a fuck about that little ass pout you got on your face. What if somebody snatched your small ass up, and then what?"

"Oh my god, shut up." I said pushing him off me, he backed me up into the wall and I've had enough of these ducking walls.

"You taking everything as a fucking joke."

"Get your stupid ass in there and lay down." He pushed me into the room before shutting the door back.

"I hope you fall because you can't see." I said.

"Shut the fu— ahh shit." He walked into the stripper pole.

"That exactly what you fucking get." I laughed climbing into bed.

"Go to sleep."

"Sir yes sir"

"Hey everybody." Markell yelled.

"Tuti still sleep, shut up." I mumbled walking into the kitchen.

"Uhhhhh"

"Y'all slept together?" Darren asked. Ugly as hell.

"Don't play him like he a pedophile." Oscar said mugging her.

"Right, he ain't no R Kelly nigga." kB said eating some rice crispy treats.

"Hey y'all." Tutu smiled. She be too fucking happy.

"Hey, you brush your teeth?" Oscar asked her.

"Yea, I found some extra toothbrushes."

"That's a good girl." He said patting her head before giving her a hug. I ignored them before laying my head on the counter. I barely got any sleep last night because Tuti dumb ass kept talking and I got a fucking headache from that damn pole.

"THOSE WERE MINE." Tuti yelled.

"I REALLY DONT GIVE A FUCK." KB yelled right back.

"YOU FUCKING BITCH."

"RECORD RECORD." I walked into the living room seeing Tuti beating KB ass with his shoe.

"You wanna go get some more?" I asked her taking the shoe out of her hand.

"That'll be cool." She sighed before walking back to my room.

"She bipolar as hell."

"I know you ain't about to get her some more rice crispy treats."

"I'm taking her ass home, she piss me off too much." I said rubbing my head.

"I'll walk, you don't gotta take me. I live up there." She mumbled walking out of the house.

mean to her. You know she just want you to be her friend." Markell sighed.

"Right, I'm sick of y'all treating my sister like she ain't shit. She just tryna fit in."

"It's been a week and some days, she should be in by now."

"You slept with her nigga, be nice."

Pissed me off. I'm nice as hell to that girl, what the fuck else do she want from me.
