JUST CREEPIN'

A'JOURIE WRIGHT
AUGUST 10th; SATURDAY

"WHY DO WE even gotta go to this shit jourie, youn even fuck wit dem people."

Jourie snapped her head to look at her boyfriend , a offended look plastered on her face. "I do fuck wit dem, the fuck are you talking about. Stop being such a baby." She frowned twisting her cap back on her mascara.

"I'm not being a baby, but I would just rather be laid up right now instead of going around a bunch of people who don't like me." He sighed, continuing to irk her nerves with his constant complaining.

She wanted to tell him to stop being so dramatic, and it wasn't true, but she would probably be lying. "Well I'm going , you can stay here if you want." She offered.

Genesis smacked his teeth, "nah I'm not gone do you like that. You been telling everybody that you bringing me I would be wrong to flake." He sighed picking up the cologne he would be wearing for the night.

"Thank you for the consideration." She eyed her collection of lip liners trying to decide which one she would be using.

They were currently getting ready to go to the rec where kymani was having his sixteenth birthday party. Jourie wanted to attend because she loved kymani so much and wanted to be there to celebrate him.

She was also sure he would be receiving his first car just like his brother and sister did on their sixteenth birthday. She wouldn't miss his reaction for the world.

"But I still think they don't fuck wit me. I fuck wit bam the most, his ass don't say shit at all." Genesis continued, spraying his gucci cologne all over himself. It was his favorite one that jourie had gotten for him.

Jourie locked eyes with him through the mirror she was sitting in front of connected to her vanity.

Bam probably hate yo ass the most out of all of em. She thought to herself, but knew to keep it to herself. Her poor boyfriend didn't have a clue, bam didn't speak to him because he had no desire and f being close with his ex-girlfriends new boyfriend.

"How long we plan on being here?" Genesis continued. He swore he wasn't trying to be annoying, he just knew he was about to put himself in an uncomfortable position just because he wanted to make jourie happy.

"Until it's over. I'm not a guest that can leave whenever, this is my family." She reminded him.

"Not really," he responded. He knew she loved them a lot, but they were technically not blood related to her or her parents at all.

She blew out a frustrated sigh. "Can you please go get my top out of your dryer baby? Thank you."  She dismissed him, wanting him to go away so that she could focus on what she was trying to do.

"Yeah I gotchu." He nodded, making his way out of his room.

She swallowed, and continued putting her lip liner on before genesis came back with her shirt. She put it on carefully making sure not to mess up the liner and mascara she had put on.

Once she finished, she finally applied her lips gloss and she was all done and ready to go.

The two made it to the venue being thrown at the rec rather quickly, and jourie drove her car so she turned the fifteen minute drive into ten minutes.

Genesis hated how she drove, but her excuse was always that she had a fast car for a reason.

Jourie loved cars and it was something that had stemmed from her father. Genesis sometimes hated it though, because jourie was one of the girliest females he knew up until she got around Cars.

He hated it even more when she tried to work on his car, or fix his. He almost lost his head when she did an oil change on his car once. Really though, to him it was her only flaw. Everything else about her was perfect in his eyes.

When she pulled up, she grabbed her phone. "Hey siri, call mommy." She spoke to her phone pulling her mirror down one more time to check her appearance before going inside.

"What girl." Kourtney answered on the third ring and it was clear she had an attitude.

"Your too old to be so grumpy." She took her phone off of speaker bringing it to her ear.

"Yes A'jourie." Kourtney spoke again.

She didn't know what was wrong with her daughter, but she had been acting so much more differently lately and truth be told her feelings were hurt about it.

Jourie was her only child, so when things like this happened it took a toll on her.

"Are you already inside?" A'jourie asked her mother , closing the mirror. She held her phone between her shoulder and ear and retrieved her purse.

"Yes, hurry up and come on. It's really nice." Kourtney informed her slightly exciting jourie. She couldn't wait to see to see what it looked like.

"Alright, and did you feed star before you left home since I couldn't make it over there?" She asked wanting to make sure her baby was okay. She loved star so much. With her she never had to want for kids. Star was just enough and not too much.

"Yep, now get in here girl." Kourtney told her once more , hanging up not to long after.

"Come on baby." She opened her car door getting out while Genesis slid his phone in his pocket doing the same.

"I love this place so much." Genesis stated as they walked up to the rec, and she smiled turning her head to face him.

"Why?" She asked even though she of course had a feeling why.

"Cause this where we met for the first time. That shit was almost a year ago, I swear the time be moving by fast." He draped his arm over her shoulders while she smiled like a little girl in middle school.

She would never forget the day they met.

"It's crazy too. Ian know yo god parents nem family owned this nice ass place. They must be sitting on stacks." He continued as she pulled the left glass door open and they stepped in.

"Boy, what I told you about worrying about other people pockets?" She reminded him. He ignored her words, and she kept straight heading towards the basketball gym.

When they walked inside the music was the first thing they heard and A'jourie was in a bliss truthfully. The blue and green theme looked very beautiful , and it even had a small theme of cars which jourie loved of course.

The entire place was crowded which was to be expected since there was a flyer for the party. On the front of the flyer was kymani, plus his two siblings and since Samaria and bam were now occasional party promoters—anything their face on was bound to be jumping.

"Damn, they wasn't playing bout lil dude sixteenth birthday." Genesis snapped her out of her thoughts prompting her to walk forwards some more.

There were so many people that jourie was positive they didn't even know kymani and were just there for the party, but that was exactly what he wanted.

"No they ain't, this is so nice." A'jourie agreed with genesis making her way to the back right corner where the circle tables and while cloths dropping them were. She knew that's where her parents would be.

She held onto the boys hand leading him to the tables, and once she got a clear view she could clearly see her mother, along with kamaria, Samir, Kyaire, Samaria, Sahid, and bam.

She wanted to slow her strides at the sight of  bam, but she didn't let his presence deter her. "Hey everybody." Jourie smiled sweetly standing next to the table.

"Finally you show up. Why took you so long?" Kyaire questioned her and she playfully rolled her eyes.

"My make up bruh. I had to look good." She informed him and like she knew he would he started shifting his eyes all over her face.

"I don't see shit." He crossed his arms causing the rest of the adults to laugh at him, and even Genesis chuckled a little bit at how outspoken he was.

"Samaria, bam, and Sahid y'all not gonna speak?" Kamaria questioned looking at her two eldest kids and and her nephew.

"Wassup jourie?" Sahid rested his elbows on the table.

"Hey Sahid." She smiled softly at the boy.

"Hello," Samaria forced out with a forced smile on her face , and it instantly started eating away at jourie. It had been an entire eleven months since they had been cool and they weren't even close to being how they were. If anything they were probably worse.

Jourie looked at bam wondering if he would speak like his mother wanted him to, but it wasn't a surprise when he continued looking down at his phone ignoring her entire presence.

That probably hurt the most.

Everybody else around the table looked uncomfortable slightly.

After the three of them fell out, around three months after the entire ordeal both set of parents grew suspicious.

It was no secret that jourie stayed at Samir and kamarias house more than her own but it had came to a sudden stop and never started back up. It didn't take a genius to know the girls had a falling out.

No matter what though, after they asked a numerous amount of times jourie never told why—because then it would come around to them finding out about her and bam.

Then, they also noticed the fact that even when jourie did come around which became rare and only with her parents, even bam didn't speak to her.

Eight months later, and almost a year since they fell out and they still didn't know what was wrong. One time kamaria wanted to try her dads method and lock the two girls in a room together, but she remembered beating her sister senseless and quickly threw that idea out the window.

They figured to let them solve it themselves, but clearly that was a bust too since it had been months. They didn't even know what happened with bam, but he would plain out just not even acknowledge her.

It was all just a mess.

Kamaria now knew how her dad felt all those years ago when he was trying to mend her and her sister's relationship. She felt like this was her karma.

Jourie wanted them to be cool again, but after Shanell really did have a baby a few months ago, she felt like Samaria was the one who owed her an apology because she was right all along. An apology never came her way though.

"Sorry jourie, he in a bad mood." Samir lied, trying to take the attention off his son. Bam was too much like him at times and it was frustrating.

"It's all good." Jourie tried to appear to be unhurt.

She knew they were broken up, and had been for over a year and a couple of months. She was the one who wanted to move on so bad, and she did. She loved her relationship with genesis because she could at least bring him to her parents and they could be seen in public, so she never really felt like she made any mistakes.

She just wished her and bam could get on the same page and be cordial with each other like before they got together. She didn't even know what happened, because when they agreed to go separate ways he was still at least talking to her a little, but suddenly all that stopped too and she never knew why.

Bam stood up from his seat preparing to move around for a moment and the girl let her eyes follow him. She couldn't miss all the ink tattoos up and down his arms that he had gotten since the last time they saw eachother. Or even the fact that his hair seemed to be longer.

He slipped out the side door and jourie knew exactly what he was going to do. So, against her better judgement the girl stood up.

Genesis eyes snapped towards her. "Wait where you going?" He didn't want her to leave him at a table with people that he knew in his heart didn't like him. He didn't know what he did to them, but he would be put in an awkward position.

"I'll be right back, I'm using the bathroom." She told him to ease his nerves, and he nodded his head silently while she stepped away.

She walked away from the tables letting her body get lost in the crowd of the teenagers in the building so they couldn't see once she slipped out of the building right where bam had done so.

Bam instantly became alert, getting ready to ash his blunt before he laid eyes on his ex. As much as he could barely stand the sight of her anymore, she still looked pretty and he could admit that. In his head of course.

"Hey," she cleared her throat because she knew he had seen her, he was just acting like he didn't. "You know bam, you embarrassing me for no reason. You could've spoke." She continued.

"Wassup jourie?" His voice rasped, while he used his thumb to ignite fire on his lighter so he could light his blunt back up.

She almost lost her train of thought, but since it had been four months since she'd seen him, and even longer since they spoke she had much to say. "I got a lot to get off my mind." She crossed her arms.

"Do you?" He asked sarcastically, furrowing his thick bushy eyebrows. His hair was in barrel twists so she was able to see his face perfectly . It was rare that his dreads weren't covering his face.

"Yes." She said matter of factly. "I don't appreciate how your giving me the cold shoulder like you ain't the one that did me dirty." She blinked repeatedly, excited that she was able to get this off her chest finally.

"Really?" He questioned before taking a long pull from his blunt and he was already feeling like she was going to blow his high.

"Yes actually bam. Let's not forget that you cheated on me, and lied about Shanell after we broke up." she reminded him, "and I have a right to feel the way that I do towards you, but you don't have any reason to act the way that you do towards me. That shit is not fair." She frowned.

"You've basically been playing victim this entire time." She went on after she was met with silence.

"How?" He finally responded.

"Because, you the one that did the dirt. You the one that fucked a bitch not once but twice during our relationship and god knows how many times afterwards. Yet you still tried—and try to make excuses for what you did. So what if I so-called brushed your feelings off as you put it. If you weren't happy, you could've left me alone and fucked that bitch while you were single." She ranted.

"You see that? You see what you just did?" He turned his body to face her. "You just did it again. You said you 'so-called brushed my feelings off' like that's not really what you did. Why can't you just come to terms with what you did." He pointed out.

"Because I actually don't feel like I did and I feel like your using that as an excuse for cheating on me. Like you want somebody to have pity for you." She told him truthfully.

"I never used that as an excuse, you asked me what was going through my mind when I did it and I told you. I never asked for no pity." He responded simply, and she swore she was becoming enraged. "I'm sorry I hurt you jourie, but you got a boyfriend now and y'all been together for a while, so why is this coming up again?"

"I really don't know." She admitted, attitude still laced in her voice. "I just can't stand how you treat me like I'm the cause of it all. You need to grow up and realize that I'm not reason our relationship didn't work."

"Our relationship is as never going to work jourie. We had been together for a year and a half and you hadn't even thought about telling anyone. It was cool for a while, but how long did you think I was gonna stay a secret?"

"I'm over it jourie. You the one who came out here confronting me about the shit. I forgave myself, I forgave you, and I moved on wit my life. If you never forgive me then I'm sorry you gotta walk around with that chip on your shoulder, but I'm done apologizing to you." He shrugged.

"It don't do me no good. You never gone forgive me for what I did and I learned to live with that a long time ago. You the type of person that will throw somebody's past mistakes in their face when ever the chance is presented to you, just so you can prove a point that doesn't need to be proved. I can't deal wit somebody like you, because I changed. I'm trynna do better for myself so I don't make the same mistakes, and you ain't gone do nothing but hold me down to make yourself feel better." He swallowed.

She couldn't believe him, because it sounded like he was still trying to turn it around on her. "So I was just supposed to forgive you for what you did and run back into your arms?" She was confused.

"No. But you ain't have to give me false hope either. You was never gonna take me back jourie and I wish you would just admit that instead of trynna gaslight me. I've never did that to you or lied, and I feel like i deserve that same respect now that's it's said and done." He responded.

"And it's fucked up how you treated my sister after all she had did for you." He took another long drag, and she laughed in his face.

His face didn't alter at all, because he couldn't find a joke in what he said. "So I'm the one who's fucked up, but I was right all along. She owes me an apology, because just like I said Shanell had your baby." Her face morphed into disgust at how he was trying to play innocent.

He looked at her for a moment, before the sides of his lips twitched. "Maybe instead of jumping into the next relationship, you should've healed like I did." He shook his head. "Yo dumbass ain't gon' never change. Grow up jourie." He dropped his blunt remains and stomped on it before pulling the door open walking back inside, leaving her alone.

She hated how he always tried to make her look like a fool when the demise of them was his fault. It would be his last time though, because now she was really done with him.

She didn't even care about being cordial, he could die for all she cared.

They a mess.
