*Alex's house, 01:11 PM*

"No, no

I ain't ever trapped out the bando

But oh Lord, don't get me wrong

I know a couple niggas that do

I'm from a place where everybody knows your name

They say I gotta watch my attitude

When they see money, man they all start actin' strange

So fuck with the ones that fuck with you

They can never say I'm brand new"

Lando and I got in the house and the niggas were playing Everyday by Elijah Blake. We got in there screaming out the Chorus, not singing but screaming,

"Everyday, everyday, everyday, every-day

Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday!"

"It's about time y'all niggas got here", Alex said lowering the volume. "We are here now let's get to it", Lando said. We all sat down then Ice lit up a blunt then started talking, "Switch on your business minds. So these niggas call themselves 'Hillside', but they moved from the hills and came to the block. I heard they were powerful back then and still are but not to us. They grown, they don't have no Youngins just old hoes."

"So what are they dealing with?", Avah asked. Ice smirked before talking, "Weed of course, LSD, Shrooms & Mescaline." "Don't forget that THC", Alex said. "Molly and that DMT", I sang out. "Drug Parade, Drug Parade", they all sang. I shook my head and we all laughed.

"Back in this, these niggas don't use but only sell", Ice said. "Not even weed?", Lando asked. "Nah, they don't do none. They've been clean for a while mainly because most of their people died from overdose. They have families and those are our targets. We go for the Youngins, maybe the wives too but mostly youngins."

"The dumbest thing these niggas did is that they keeping their cash in their houses, the drugs in the warehouse", Alex said. "Don't they got businesses or something for the cash?", I asked. "They do, it's just stupidity", she said.

"So now that y'all have a bit of information, it's time for more digging. We have to know who these niggas are and every single detail about them rather than the one we already know. We on?", Ice asked. "Yessirr", we said in unison.

"Turn the volume up!", Lando said heading to the kitchen. "Your ass is always hungry bro", Ice said. "It's not a crime", he shouted from the kitchen.

"Mercury still not comfortable around here?", I asked. "How can she be when Alex be giving her the death stare all the time", Avah said.

"Honestly bro it's time you let this go. I mean she was doing this for us, she could've died there or got injured while with Chris. She sacrificed being happy with us and went ahead to live in misery with that nigga FOR US", Lando said taking a seat on the couch.

"She wasn't forced she did it herself", Alex said. Suddenly Maria slapped her head and we semi laughed. I don't even know where she came from.

"The nights you spent talking about her, crying for her and being mad at her were for nothing. You should've known that she wasn't going to do y'all like that. Please forgive her, they all did it's just you. Take, call her to come over", Maria said.

"But..", "No buts Alex, do as told" she said giving her her phone. Alex looked at all of us and we were like 'nigga go ahead and call'. She dailed Mercury's number and went out. "Uhm Ria, you still don't want to give me your numbers?", Avah asked.

"Savannah shut up!", Maria said and walked away. We looked at Avah, "What?", she asked. "Ria? Really bro", Ice asked. "It's cute though and she's fineee", Lando said. "Y'all and cougar pussy", I said making us laugh.

"She's on her way", Alex said sitting down. "I'm proud of you", Ice hugged her. "Nigga get off me", Alex said annoyed. "So you used to cry for her?", Avah asked teasingly. "Y'all ain't shit", she said and we laughed.

After some time of silence Lando said, "Let's play the Lyrics prank on Keisha." "Yeahhh, who's first?", I asked. "I'll go first", Avah said. "Where is she?", Lando asked. "Oh never mind", he said as Keisha walked down the stairs. "Keeping it PG, yeah?", I asked. "Yeah, she's only 14", Alex said.

"Your song is Silent Treatment by Eric Bellinger", Lando whispered to Avah. She stood up and walked to Keisha.

"You've been giving me the silent treatment and it's so bad", Keisha looked at her like she was crazy. "Hey Avah", she said confused. "Your body language is telling on you, I can't take this any longer", "Take what? Is she Okay?", Keisha asked us. We just laughed. "What happened to the bestfriend I ever had, now all I ask is why you mad", Keisha looked at her straight in the eyes. Avah laughed then kissed her cheek and went to sit down.

"Shiggy your song is Keisha by Tory Lanez", Lando said whispering to me.

I wanted to laugh but went against it. I stood up and went to Keisha. "Yeah, you did me wrong, you did me wrong Keisha", "What did I do?", she asked. "All I ever wanted was a piece of your time", "My time? What time?", she was more confused than ever now. " Oh Keisha, you did me wrong, you did me wrong now and you know it", I looked down. She just stood there, I then hugged her and laughed.

The doorbell rang and we all looked at Alex, she shrugged and stood up. She opened the door and Mercury got in. "Sup y'all", "Hey Merc'", we said. Alex just stood there. Ice motioned that they head to the bedroom using her head. Alex took Mercury's hand and led her to her bedroom. We cheered after them. Keisha was still confused.

"We just playing baby girl, relax", I said giving her a side hug. She sighed and said "I was confused and scared on what did I do". We laughed. "You did none", Ice said smirking. I went ahead and sat down next to Ice and took some blunts from her pocket.

"Those are laced", she said. "We don't care", Lando said. "It is what it is", Avah said making us laugh.
