2:00 p.m.

Amerie held my hand, as we walked up the steps to the venue of the party, as Key followed behind us. I didn't know how anything looked, I just gave the planner the theme and left the rest all to her.

"You nervous" I asked Merie, as we came to a stop at the door. "Mommy open the door" she said, jumping up and down, as I laughed.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY" everybody screamed as we walked in. "Wowww" Merie said, looking around the venue at the pastel colors and butterflies.

I smiled to myself, as I see the kool-aid smile that was plastered across Merie's face. "Mommy can I go get my face painted" she smiled, pointing to the face painting station.

"Yes baby" I chuckled, as she ran off. "Heyy, whores" I smiled, walking up to Alani, Tae, and India. "Momiana" India laughed.

"That's me" I said, swiping my hand under my chin. "Bitch you already drinking" I said Lani, as she sipped on the 1942 Lemon Drop.

"That's her second one" Tae said, shaking his head in disbelief. "Bitch I know you ain't talking" Lani, said mugging him.

"Girl this shit is beautiful" India said, looking around the venue in awe. "I know, my planner did her shit" I smiled.

"Uhh ohh, there goes y'all niggas" Tae said sipping from his red solo cup as I sat down. "What fucking nigga" I said, scrunching my face up, as Key, Trey, Dre, and Durk was walking towards us.

He made the yikes face, before continuing to sip from his cup. "They walking together, like they just the shit" Lani mumbled.

"Not too much on my man" India said. "Don't start Trey" I said pointing my finger at him, seeing the grin on his face.

"I'm not even on nun baby momma" he smirked, giving me a side hug. "Mhm, help me up" I said, as he helped me stand from the chair.

"Damn, Lyric you can't speak" Dre said mugging me, stopping me from walking past him. "You seen me didn't you" I said.

"Rude ass" he mumbled. "Just cause bitch boy in the dog house, don't me-" he said, as Lani slapped him in his stomach, while Key slapped his head.

"I ain't never put my hands on a female but yo ass asking for it" he said holding his stomach, as pointed at Lani. "And for you, meet me outside" he said to Key as I chuckled, walking off.

"Lyric" I heard someone callout, causing me to turn around seeing Key. "Wassup" I said, as he walked up to me. "Why can't we be cordial, every time we in a room together it ain't nun but tension" he said.

"I'm just trying to make shit right before the baby gets here" he said, motioning to my pregnant belly.

"Key we are strictly co-parenting. That doesn't mean I have to like your ass, if it's nothing regarding our kids, then there's nothing for us to discuss." I chuckled, before walking off.

3:32 p.m.

The gang and I was sitting outside, we just had finished rolling up. "Nigga I know that ain't my lighter" Trey said, snatching the lighter out of Dre hand.

"Wasn't suppose to let you see that" Dre chuckled as I shook my head at the two, taking a pull from my blunt. "Y'all fucking with the tour" Dre asked me and Durk.

"Hell yea, everyone of dem' bitches been sold out" Durk said firing up his blunt. "Them bitches be loud too" Trey said, he had been to the first two shows.

"Got to pull up to one" Dre said. "Fosho" I said, nodding my head. "I can't show no simp, never been a wimp" Trey rapped, One Upon A Time from my album I just released, bopping his head.

"Dis nigga" I laughed. "On my momma, you was talking on dat bihh" he laughed. "Nigga said if a nigga make me mad, get to clappin' like congrats" Dre laughed.

I shook my head at them, as they all laughed. "Da coldest shit dat nigga said on there was in my benz with your hoe, and we chillin' smokin' dope" Durk said.

"Dat ain't it the nigga said, then she say your boy is dope, had to give dat bitch a dose" he continued. "My nigga" Dre said dappin me up, as I laughed.

"Dat shit there went over niggas head" Trey said laughing. "Y'all niggas hell" I said, pulling from my blunt. "Nigga, yo son gone be here in a couple more weeks. How you feel?" Durk said, slapping my arm.

"Dat lil nigga going to be bad ass fuck" Trey laughed. "Hell yea, you already know the shit we use to get into" Dre said.

"I'm ready, but it's just dis tour shit. I'm enjoying da experience but being a way from kids is da hardest part." I said shaking my head, knowing how much i've been missing waking up to Amerie.

"It's not much I can say on dat part even though I have kids. But your girl pregnant so I can only imagine, how hard shit is." Durk said as Dre snickered.

"Wassup nigga" I asked, mugging him, as I ashed my blunt out. "Exactly, you don't know shit" I said. "Nigga I know dat you pussy" Dre said.

"Speak up then nigga" I said, leaning up from against the car. "Nigga I said you was pussy" Dre said, leaning from up against the car, pulling his pants up.

"You hurt her then think you can come running back when you want too, shit lame ass fuck. You breakup with her knowing she's fucking pregnant is a bitch ass move." Dre said.

Everyone considered Brielle as being some crazy ass person. Even though part of that was true, she was once an ordinary person.

Brielle had put her all into her and Key's relationship. He was her first everything, her first love and heartbreak. Key was a damaged person, so he damaged her.

But even though he broke her heart. She was hurt but does that make it okay for her to do the things she has done?

Dre couldn't let him hurt Lyric as much as he'd had done to Brielle in the past. He wouldn't, he just wanted his best friend to finally take accountability.

"Aye y'all niggas chill" Trey, said getting in the middle of us. "Nahh, mane fuck dis nigga" I chuckled staring him dead in his eyes.

"Nigga be a fucking man for once. Own up to yo shit. Me and you both know why Brielle did what she did." he said.

I swung at him, connecting to his jaw. He tackled me to the ground sending blow after blow. "YO NIGGA CHILL OUT" Trey said trying to break us apart, as I got on top of him.

"NIGGA YOU PUSSY ASS FUCK" Dre yelled as Durk held him back. "Nigga let me go" I said snatching away from Trey.

I jumped in my car, pulling off, driving in no particular direction. My mind was racing, with a million thoughts.

Two hours later, I had pulled up to a bridge. I parked the car, letting the windows down, feeling the cold night breeze, swarm in.

I turnt the music up, as I stared at the night sky.

A nigga has been lost for the past three months. I lost the only thing that brought me peace, just because I was trying not to hurt her.

But ended up doing it anyways. "I don't think I can forgive you" was the words that kept replaying in my head.

Not having her was making a nigga feel like he was losing his mind, I felt like I needed something to cope.

I popped two percs, before chasing it with my doubled cup. All the things I been through this probably the worst I felt.

"FUCK" I yelled punching the steering wheel, as I broke down into tears.

I lost my family, best friend, myself.
