RAYONNA POV

* 1 1/2 WEEK LATER *

Sade has been laid to rest, and I still remain the same. Numb. I didn't even wanna leave Chicago knowing that is where my bestfriend will be for the rest of her life, while I'm here in Atlanta.

"Bae?"

"What"

"What I tell you about answering me like that?" Shiesty said

"Ion have to fix my tone or the way I answer you for SHIT. We still not cool"

"I told you I'm sorry, wtf you want me to do?"

"Idk figure it out" I said flopping on the couch

Nobody been on my good side these past days.

"You been around this mf mad at the world, even your own son and he only a baby, he don't know any better"

I stayed quiet paying attention to the Tv, while sipping out the patron bottle

"Exactly you know it's true. I get you grieving and all, but it ain't right to take it out on other people"

"You wanna know wtf aint right? How your dumb ass can possibly think that we'll be back to normal after how you did me that day. You falsely assumed I was fucking your brother, which btw you NEVER told me yall was opps, beat my ass, but now you want me to be cool"

"Cuh, WTF I APOLOGIZED. I tried every fucking thing and nothing worked. Damn, give me a break"

"NO HOE YOU WILL NEVER GET A BREAK, FROM HERE ON FUCKING OUT"

"Stop fucking yelling you goin wake the baby up"

"I CAN YELL IF I WANT TO DONT TELL ME TO STOP SHIT"

"Mane fuck this, Ian dealing with this"

"Yeah don't deal wit it"

He stormed to the back for something, when suddenly I see him trying to walk out wit a baby bag and MY baby

"Nigga wtf is you doing?"

"Move Rayonna, me and my son going to my crib where it's less yelling"

"No tf you not! Put him back in the fucking room"

"Rayonna, you drunk and think you finna supervise our child? Go straight to hell"

"You know what, I don't need this. I don't need ANY of this, when you come back in this mf my baby better be wit you or I'm getting your ass locked up"

I slammed the door as he left. I sat back on the couch and whipped out my phone and texted buddy ass, I can use his company

Me:

Cortez:

Me:

Cortez:

Me:

Cortez:

Me:

He hearted the message and I closed out. I went to the bathroom and took a lil selfie, since I haven't took any in awhile

I then got a text from my phone

Cortez:

I ran to the living room and buzzed him up to get, then I left the door cracked.

"Wassup, how you been?" he said closing the door behind him

"Heyyy I been not so good"

"Over the whole Bestfriend thing?"

I shook my head yes

"I figured but you goin get through it tho. You just gotta take it one day at a time"

"Yeah everyone keep telling me that, but it's like it get harder everyday" I said taking a seat on the couch

"It won't just go away overnight, you might don't come to acceptance until some months. It all depend on how you going about it"

"Yeah I know. Um did you want anything to drink, snack orrr-"

"Nah I'm straight"

"Cool" I said making my way over sitting hella close to him

"I miss you?" I said gazing in his eyes

"That's cap"

"No im serious, I do" I said placing my hands on his pants

"You okay?" He asked arching a eyebrow

"Yeah I'm good, I just had a lil to drink but I'm forever straight"

"So like, you just be here by yourself type shit?"

"Yeah wit me and my baby. My baby daddy be over here sometimes but that really be about It"

"Aw true. Where he be at?"

"Wym?"

"Iike when he not here wit you, where he be at?"

"With his homies out doing him somewhere"

"He wit them now?"

"Nawl he have my son, idk where he be at, or is right now"

Nigga think he slick. Me and Shiesty might not be on good terms, but I'm not giving out his location so you can possibly slide on him, ima kill you before you kill him.

"Aw okay "

"Soooo how come you never told me you and my baby daddy are brothers"

His eyes grew wide

"Only cause of our daddy. You must told him about me huh?"

"Nah, he actually found out when he wasn't supposed to. And later told me y'all related"

"Well since we putting shit out on the table, I don't fuck wit your baby daddy, like it or not that's the truth"

"Hmm okay. So did you know he was my baby daddy and purposely hopped down so you can have something to throw in his face?"

" I didn't find out till later that he was, after I dropped you off that day you mentioned his name in the stu, I had to do some research"

" mhm " I said sipping more patron

"I'm surprised you ain't throwing me out for that"

"Aw nawl ian goin put you out, why do that"

"Welp" he said shrugging his shoulders

"I been meaning to tell you, how handsome you look" I said getting on top of him. He looked at me like I was crazy

"You and him actually favor each other too"

"Nah, I look much better" he said licking his lips

"Is that right?"

He shook his head yes

I was about to kiss him, when I heard the lock unlatch

"Ohhhh shit, run" I whispered, he ran to the back as I ran to the door

"Why you back so soon?"

"Why you questioning me, I need to grab that hoodie wit that spare car key in it" he said making his way to the back

Hold tf up, didn't I just tell him earlier.....

"Lontrell where tf is my kid?"

"Don't worry cuh he in good hands"

"Wtf is "good hands" where is he?"

"He wit my momma and my auntie" he said with his voice shaking

I'm letting this nigga roam around, I forgot what I'm supposed to be doing

"I'll get it Ik where it's at" I said rushing to my room and closing the door

Chileeee that was a close one. I opened the door and closed it behind me

"Here got it" I said shoving the hoodie

"Why you acting like that? And why it smell like cologne in here?"

"I'm not acting like nothing, and that's from when you left"

"Rayonna Ian put shit nor have shit on me when I left? And if I did, the smell still wouldn't be this strong"

"Idk what you talking about"

He stared at me making that frown face

"What you looking ugly for?"

He then shook his head and laughed

"Cuh you stay tryna play me for a fool. Ion condone domestic violence but thats how you got delt wit the first time, you keep doing this to me" he said wit his eyes once again turning red

"Lontrell aint nobody doing shit to you. You just over exaggerating right now"

I guess he used the smell of the cologne to trail where he needed to search, because he pushed me out the way opening my room door, and walked to my bathroom closet. He opened the door and there was Cortez standing there with his arms folded and legs crossed

He sucked his teeth and looked at me, then looked at him

"So wassup?" Cortez said

Shiesty didn't like that, he didn't like that one bit.....
