"yo fucking birthday." I said to Kirah while I was putting on her lashes. "Bitch stop blinking before I accidentally poke your eye out."

"22 on these hoes." She said looking in the mirror. "Are you gone let me pay you this time?"

"Girl no." I said making a face. "I'm not gone take the money."

"Mook this make up you did was cute as fuck." Kirah said. "I'm paying you end of story."

I rolled my eyes and moved on cause I knew she was gone pay me one way or another.

"So what's the plans for the day?" I asked seeing that it was already around 11 She had came over early so I could do her make up.

"Brunch cause I wanna include Jada cause she pregnant and all. Then we going out to shake our ass later plus the guys." She said. "Oh shoot it's already 11. Brunch at 12:30 Mook."

"I'm finna go prepare myself." She said again getting up and hugging me. "See you in a minute pooh."

"Bye ma and god babies!" Her loud ass said walking out the door.

"Girl." I said giving a small smile.

"What's wrong with you Mook?" She said looking at me when I came to sit next to her.

I was tired of forcing a smile on my face everyday. Truth be told life was kicking my ass right now and I just wanna cry to my mama.

"I'm tired." I said not holding in my tears no more. "I'm trying of being strong ma I swear I am."

"Stop crying before you make yourself have a panic attack Briann." My mama said rubbing my back.

"I feel like I'm going crazy." I said. "I just been going through shit back to back to back. I'm still going through fucking postpartum and I'm sorry for cursing but I'm tired. I can't."

"Banks don't say can't." She said. "Look at me Briann."

"It is absolutely okay not to be okay. Let yourself have your day where you just wanna cry, it's okay." She said still rubbing my back. "God give the toughest battles do the strongest people and you my child, you stronger than you think Mook."

"I know mommy it's just- I don't know." I said feeling myself getting frustrated. "It's hard."

"You wanna start going back to therapy?" She asked and I nodded.

That was one thing I loved about my family. We took mental health very serious and I was glad they were supportive & not judgemental.

"Ma!" Jaylee' said jumping in her bouncer infront of my mama while Journee was next to my mama sleep.

"I love that y'all say mama now, period." I said laughing while wiping my eyes. "I feel so much better after crying."

"Get away from me Briann." My mama said making me smack my lips. "But I'll give you the therapists number and you can call to set up the appointment."

"Okay." I said watching Jaylee' occupy herself with the toys on her bouncer.

"So we going out today?" She asked me and I made a face.

"Who?"

"Girl don't play with me." She said. "Oh I'm too old to hang with y'all now?"

"Mama you are not going out to no club with us later, girl boo." I said waving her off. "I'm telling pops."

"And what he gone do to me?"

"Teardatassup" I said mimicking Curtis from House of Payne.

"Girl-" She said cracking up. "Get away from me and my grand-babies."

I looked at my phone seeing that it was already nearing to 12 and I was nowhere near ready.

"I need to go get ready." I said. "You know you don't gotta keep them I can always stay home."

"Girl you and Dayvon be cooped up in this house doing nothing but working and parenting. Go the hell out and leave my grandkids with me." My mama said shooing me off.

*

"Briann bro don't drink another mimosa or whatever them shits are." I said popping her hand away from the cup. "Stop it g damn."

"Don't tell me what to do." She said grabbing the glass again and downing it. "We got here late as is let me get drunk."

"I gotta get out of here." I said pinching the bridge of my nose cause Mook was one of them people who don't shut up when they drunk.

2 hours into Kirah's brunch at the restaurant her mom owned and these fools were drunk as hell already at 3 in the afternoon.

"Vonnnn." Mook sung in my ear dancing to whatever song was playing. "I love- this my song!"

Bro. I officially hate drunk people. I looked over at Booka and he was irritated too, same with Durk and Dthang.

"I ain't know I had to babysit you creatures today." Booka said moving Kirah off of him. "I love you bae but you ain't throwing up on this outfit g. Over there you go."

"Bae come here I gotta tell you something." Kirah said grabbing Booka and whispering in his ear.

"Girl- you gone do it with the ice too?" He said raising an eyebrow. "Nevermind get drunk. Do yo thang thizzle."

"Bro what." I said shaking my head. "We taking they ass home, look at em."

Mook was dancing and wasn't shit playing no more. Kayla was laying on my shoulder cause she claim the room spinning, Asia was already in the car sleep cause she had one too many mimosas. Now look at me and my guys , on babysitting duty cause they drunk this early.

"Yeah time to wrap this shit up." Dthang said shaking his head. "If they drink anymore they not gone make it to the club tonight & y'all gotta perform."

"I got Mook and Kayla." I said helping Mook stand up and then Kayla. "Just come back to our house they finna sleep this shit off."

"Come on dumb and dumber." I said pushing Mook and Kayla infront of me.

"Stop pushing me before I throw up." I heard Mook say as we walked out the door.

This finna be a long ass car ride.

"Get in the car bro." I said opening the back so they could get in.

Her ass wasn't finna sit in the front and throw up on me.

"Cant believe y'all this drunk g."

*

"Bro turn that shit down." I said to Durk from the backseat of the truck mad because I got woke up to go to the club.

After we got back from brunch we all ended up drunk and sleep just for these niggas to wake us up talking about the club, fuck that club.

"Don't be mad you mfs decided to get drunk knowing we had to go out tonight." Durk said. "Suck that shit up."

"I'm telling my mama."

"Snitch." Dthang added.

"Shut up it's my birthday no arguing." Kirah snapped.

"I- you lucky." I said looking at her.

"How much longer til we at this club g damn." Booka snapped.

"You do not have to be that loud." Asia said from the front seat. "And 10 more minutes."

Love Sosa came on and everybody knew this was my shit.

"Fuckers in school telling me, always in the barber shop Chief Keef ain't 'bout this, Chief ain't 'bout that. My boy a BD on fucking Lamron and them He, he, they say that nigga don't be putting in no work. shut the fuck up, y'all niggas ain't know shit" I said doing the intro.

"Mook bro what the-" Asia said but Durk cut her off.

"She not even done yet g." Durk said recording me.

"All y'all motherfuckers talkin' about Chief Keef ain't no hitter, Chief Keef ain't this, Chief Keef a fake. Shut the fuck up! y'all don't live with that nigga! Y'all know that nigga got caught with a ratchet shootin' at the police and shit. nigga been on probation since fuckin' I don't know when! motherfucker, stop fuckin' playin' him like that. them niggas savages out there. if I catch another motherfucker talking sweet about Chief Keef, I'm fucking beatin' they ass, I'm not fucking playin' no more know them niggas roll with Lil Reese and them." I said into the camera.

"And she got the nerve to be dead serious saying this shit too g." Von said laughing at me.

"Love Sosa." I said shaking my head back and forth like I had locs.

"Bro get me out this car." Kirah said cracking her side. "This bitch really serious as hell doing this shit too."

"Yeah sis!" Dthang said turning the radio up.

*

"Don't get too drunk." Von whispered in my ear holding me from behind.

"Shot for shot?" Kirah asked and everything Von just said went out the window.

"Come on." I said and she grabbed my hand pulling me away from Von and walking to the other side of the section we were in.

"What time they performing?" She asked me.

"I don't even know." I said shrugging.

"Okay cheers to 22." She said as we grabbed our shots. "Happy birthday to me bitches."

After that first one the whole night was a blur. I was drunk beyond words.

"Oh I'm sorry." I said bumping into some man.

"Watch where you goin' bitch." He spat and I made a face.

"Who the fuck you talking to? I did apologize." I said quickly sobering up and getting loud.

"Man back up before I slap the fuck outta you."

"Look here pill head fuck outta my face." I said turning around to walk away and this nigga grabbed my arm, fuck no.

"Not my bestfriend bitch." Kirah said pushing him off of me and he raised his arm like he was finna it her.

"I dare you to do it bitch." Kirah said. "Booka come over here now!"

Club or not, I'll argue anywhere idgaf. At this point it was silent and everybody was looking at us but where the fuck was security?

"Aye my mans." Booka said coming to my side. "I wouldn't even do that shit if I was you."

"He grabbed Mook arm hard as hell g." Kirah said pointing at it. "Look at the bruise bro."

"He touched you Mook?" Durk asked me clearly looking at my arm. "Trick question don't answer that but don't worry bout it. It's handled."

Next thing you know Von punched the nigga square in his face and everybody was crowding around us to see what was happening.

"I'm not breaking shit up." Kayla said. "Beat his ass brother."

I had a gut feeling something was about to happen but I just didn't know what.

"GET DOWN." Somebody yelled and I looked to see the some with a gun pointed in our direction.

But before I could get down he pulled the trigger before security finally came and got him.

"Kirah..." I said weakly trying to stumble over to her.

"Oh my god Mook." She said. "Hospital right the fuck now!"

"Briann g don't close your eyes."

"Mook bro keep your eyes open."

"Don't do this to me bestfriend."

"I love y'all." Was the last thing I said before everything went black.
