Flaire looked in her full body mirror looking at the sweatsuit she had on, she had some stacked sweatpants that she made along with a matching jacket. She kept it simple with a black tanktop and Jordan black cats.

She put her hair in a top knot bun making sure her lashes were still full. She looked at her purses tilting her head to the side as she decided on a bag she got from Shein. She put everything she needed in her bag then went back to the mirror. 

She looked at her perfume collection trying to decide which one she wanted, grabbing Marc Jabobs Daisy she sprayed it a few times then grabbed her lip gloss putting it on. 

"You ready?" Keygan walked into her room looking her up and down.

"Why you didn't tell me you were here?" She asked furrowing her eyebrows.

"I was down there talking to Dev."

"Oh, well I'm ready." She grabbed her purse letting him walk ahead of her as she made sure she closed and locked her door. "I'm leaving sissys."

"Okay, have fun." Haven smiled holding Alana.

"Keep my sister safe Key," Genesis said looking at them.

"When have I ever put her in danger?"

"Don't start today." She looked at him making him chuckle. "I love you, sissy, call me if you need anything."

"I love y'all too."

She walked out the door as Keygan opened the car door for him, he gently gripped her waist to help her step into his Jeep. She thanked him as she waited for him to walk around, once he started the car his phone automatically started playing music.

"One, two, three, four fuck the opps, them niggas hoes. Five, six, seven, eight slamming rakes we GDK." Key mumbled along to the music making Flaire look at him. 

Keygan was fine. Like fine fine.

He was brown skin with clear skin and bushy eyebrows that were naturally arched. His long eyelashes curled upwards but it made his eyes look more memorizing. He stood at 6'2 with a cocky build, he didn't have a stomach but most of his weight came from his upper body.

He had a full beard and whenever he smiled, his cheeks went in due to his deep dimples. Flaire could tell he got a fresh lineup. 

He is so fine.

He had on black joggers and a VLone hoodie paired with black Yeezy's V3 700, it was a simple fit but Keygan was that nigga when it came to dressing. The real Mr.Putiton.

"You see what you like?" He asked making her roll her eyes as she continued staring at him.

"I did until it opened its mouth."

"It?" He chuckled. "What you be saying? The math not mathing."

"Alright, Keygan." She rolled her eyes again chuckling. "Where are we going?"

"To Hell if we not praying,"

"You're mad annoying."

"What happened with you and Ezra?"

"What he tell you?"

"Just you pissed him the fuck off, he said he ain't finna fuck with you for a while."

"And that's perfectly fine with me because I don't wanna talk to him at all, not in a while, nothing. He can kiss my ass."

"What happened?"

"I was supposed to customize this hoodie but I couldn't find it so I knew one of my sisters had it. Asked everybody nicely, got pissed off when nobody owned up to having it so I was going to ruin everybody's room until I found my shit. I fucked Indigo room up but then Haven confessed so I cursed her the fuck out hurting her feelings of course and he felt a way about it."

"So he said something to you about it so y'all started arguing," Keygan concluded.

"He lucky I didn't knock his big ass out."

"Flaire, you know you weren't going to knock that man out." Keygan chuckled.

"I was going to try because he really tried to come for me. Talking bout all I do is burn bridges, I need to grow up and some more shit. He always tells me he is proud of me but when he gets mad he just said fuck me."

"He was defending his girl, Flaire."

"He could've defended her without coming for me. He lucky he who he is because I was about to air him the fuck out, he wouldn't have looked my way ever again after what I had to say."

He just shook his head not responding, he knew they'll be back talking in a week tops.

Keygan parked on a busy street as Flaire opened her door not bothering to wait for him, she hopped out and looked around trying to guess where they were at. She followed Keygan as he walked into a building.

He so damn bowlegged, she thought with a smirk.

"Keygan Wright." He said to the lady as she nodded giving him and Flaire a ticket number making her raise an eyebrow.

She followed him to an elevator, he pressed the third floor as she watched the floor number pass. He walked ahead of her as she saw a bunch of tables and multiple stoves, she raised her eyebrows smiling.

He took them to a cooking class.

Flaire loved cooking but she wasn't as good as she wanted to be but she always saved videos and recipes, it was a passion of hers.

"You really know me." Flaire chuckled as they grabbed aprons, hairnets, and chef hats.

"We were together for almost eleven years, why wouldn't I?"

"Everyone pick a table, I'm Chef Lore." She said.

She started talking some more but Flaire was too focused on looking at Keygan, he smiled side-eyeing her. She chuckled then went back to listening to the chef.

She wasn't sure what she was feeling but it kind of scared her.

Brat walked out of school in the middle of her two friends, they had just gotten out of the yearbook meeting. She didn't really do friends or clubs but the town she lived in was so boring she joined almost every club she could.

She was laughing but stopped when her friend, Billie squealed like a pig. She furrowed her eyebrows confused.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?" 

"I just love love." She smiled. "Like stuff like that is so darn cute, I just wished I had a significant other."

"That is really cute." Her other friend, Jonica, agreed. 

Brat looked to where they were looking, having to double-take. Blaire was leaning on his BMV X6 with two dozen orange roses in his hand looking all mean until he laid his eyes on her.

Damn, I like this bitch, he thought.

"I never saw him before, I wonder who's he here for." Billie smiled.

Brat walked up to him not letting her hard demeanor fade, Blaire was disrespectful and her forgiveness couldn't be bought so this wasn't phasing her.

"I disrespected you when you were there for me, especially when I needed you the most. I fucked up and I know that, those little texts and calls that you keep ignoring told me I wasn't applying enough pressure. I took that two-hour drive, spent damn near a hundred dollars on some damn flowers I know you gon kill and I'm embarrassing myself in this cracka ass school."

Brat smiled as he got to the end of his speech, she found him doing this thoughtful.

"I apologize, Desiree, from my whole heart I'll never come at you like that again. Please forgive me, beautiful."

"Hmmm." She dragged out with a smile making him chuckle cause he knew she forgave him.

He put the flowers on the car as he grabbed her pulling her into a bear-crushing hug. He held onto her so tight and so long, he missed her touch. He kissed her forehead multiple times.

"Hi, I'm Billie." Billie smiled making Brat chuckle as she looked at her, she was always so damn bubbly. "I'm like Desiree's best friend-"

"Ooh girl, don't say that." Brat cut her off. She's had the same best friend since she was 3 and that was never going to change. "These are my friends Jonice and Billie, this is Blaire."

"Is this your boyfriend?" Billie smiled. "He so loves you."

"Billie." Brat rolled her eyes with a smile making Blaire chuckle. 

"Can I steal her from y'all?" Blaire asked.

"Oh, of course, she's all yours." 

Blaire opened the car door for her letting her get in as she grabbed her roses, once he closed the door she smelled them then pulled out her phone to send them to Flaire and post them on her Instagram page.

"I didn't know you knew my favorite color." She said as he looked at her.

"I remember you telling me."

"I still can't believe you did this." She smiled smiling at her roses again. "You like me."

"Brat, fuck off." He said making her chuckle.

She started giving him directions to her house as he pulled up to what looked like a mansion, it had a wrap-around driveway with a big fountain in the middle making him nod in approval.

He got out of the car and followed her to the house, he walked in taking a look around. It looked even bigger now that he was in the house.

"Desi, that's you?" He heard her mom say as she smiled walking towards her.

"Hi mommy, I didn't know you were back." She hugged her kissing her. "Is Lavel back too?"

"I wanted to surprise you beautiful, I bought you some souvenirs back. Are you-" She stopped noticing the teenage boy, she tilted her head then smiled. "Blaire, is that you? Let me look at you."

"Hey, Mrs.Whitaker." He smiled as she walked towards him.

"Come give me a hug, how's your mom and grandmom?"

"They're good." He spoke walking towards her to hug her.

"Smelling like that damn reefer, you and Desiree are going to kill your damn lungs."

"Mommy, look what he got me." She held the heart shape box of two dozen roses smiling.

"This is so cute." She squealed. "I thought you said we weren't talking to him."

"Mommy, he drove two hours to apologize."

"You're right." She nodded as her husband came through the door.

"My favorite girl, we missed you." Leval smiled walking into the kitchen to hug Brat.

Her mom and stepfather decided to take a trip to Italy but Brat chose to see Flaire instead of going to Italy.

"Oh, we have company. How are you doing? I'm Leval." He extended his hand as Blaire shook it.

"This is Blaireee." Tomika sang his name making him chuckle.

"Blaire?" Leval raised an eyebrow in amusement. 

"Yes and Blaire drove 2 hours with these beautiful roses."

"Please don't do too much." Brat rolled her eyes starting to feel embarrassed. 

"So Blaire how long do we have you?" Tomika asked.

"I planned on staying for three days, actually I have to go get a hotel so I'll be back a little later."

"We have plenty of room, you don't have to spend money for a hotel," Leval said shocking Blaire.

"Why are you looking so shocked? We know when she was down there she spent the majority of the nights with you."

One thing Desiree was always grateful for was she had understanding parents who wanted her to tell them everything so that's what she did and she was never judged by it.

"Just be respectful and mindful," Leval said making them nod.

"Are you cooking?"

"No, we were thinking Thai food. Have you ever had Thai?" Tomika asked.

"Nah." 

"Okay, we'll order for you. Go show him around the house Desi." Leval said making her nod.

After showing Blaire the whole house, they stopped at her room. She started undressing for her shower as he looked at her, she went to lock her door since she didn't want her parents to bust in while she was naked.

"Let me say something to you real quick." Blaire grabbed her hand sitting on the couch she had in her room. "I wanna try this between us."

"Can you be faithful with the distance Blaire?"

"I-"

"And before you answer, really think about it. I'm not even asking for an answer right now, give me one before you leave but just give it to me. If you can't then that's fine and if you can that's even better but whatever your answer is what you get out of me. If you say no then don't expect me to be faithful."

Blaire nodded starting to think about what she was saying.

Could he be 100% faithful?

"I think Keygan and Flaire together," Mac spoke looking at Keygan's story after looking at Flaire putting the pieces together.

"I don't even care. He's doing anything to get over me, he used to dog Flaire the fuck out when we were together. He was just texting me." Sapphire lied.

"Flaire so fine." Sapphire's cousin, Nisha, said.

"She alright, Indigo the best looking sister," Mac said.

"I don't think so, I think they are all pretty in their way. Nobody looks better than the other, shit they basically all look alike just different shades."

"Girl, do you wanna suck their dick?" Sapphire asked getting upset.

"Suck they dick because I'm giving credit when it's due? Okay." Nisha chuckled.

"Ezra just so damn fine." Their friend, Loca, said getting everybody's attention as he walked in.

Ezra really was the type of fine that everybody had to look at whenever he walked in and the worse part was he knew he was fine. 

"He messes with Haven? Damn a bitch ain't gon never get a turn." Their other friend, Kamani, said.

They watched as Haven was hugged under Ezra while he never took her eyes off of her, it was like he was mesmerized by her.

Haven felt like somebody was staring at her so she turned to see the five girls in her face, she turned around quickly not wanting to hold eye contact. 

"You okay, pretty girl?" 

"Yes, they're just being weird."

"Who?" He asked ready to defend his girl, he looked at the five girls and chuckled. "I wish they would start with you while I'm in this mood."

Just as he said that Kamani stood up going towards their direction making Ezra get alert while Haven sighed, she just wanted to be with her boyfriend.

"This yo lil girlfriend?" Kamani asked.

"Kamani, step out my face before you gotta go get one of ya brothers for how bad Imma disrespect you for my big girlfriend."

"Oh, that's cute." She chuckled. "Your girlfriend gotta fight my friend for sneaking her so wassup?"

"Ya punk-ass friend ain't get snuck, you saw the video. Fuck out my face Kamani before I call my best friend up here and have her go upside all y'all bitches head."

"Baby, I'll call her myself." Kamani chuckled.

"C'mon Ezra," Haven mumbled.

"Where are you going? You not leaving until you fight one of us." She chuckled.

"I don't even know you."

"You snuck my friend, I don't give a fuck who you don't know."

Ezra grabbed the food handing it to Haven. "Walk ahead of me."

Haven listened to him they both started to walk out, he opened the passenger seat as she got in. He started to walk around the front seat, he stopped seeing all five of them walking to the car. He chuckled, he hoped this was what they did.

"Wassup?" He walked back in front of Haven's door to make sure nobody had access to her. "Y'all really some corny ass bitches but it's cool."

He tried to dial Flaire's number forgetting she blocked him making him shake his head. Haven couldn't hear what they were talking about but just as she pulled down the window Indigo FaceTimed the group chat.

"Hello?" Flaire asked smiling as she was in the car with Keygan.

"Where y'all go?" Indigo asked as she and Genesis watched a movie.

"He took me to a cooking class y'all." Flaire smiled, she had the time of her life.

Haven blocked them out as she put the window down so she could hear.

"Ezra, just let your bitch fight!" Kamani laughed. 

"She wasn't scared when she snuck my friend." Loca chuckled.

"Who that?" Genesis asked. "Haven where are you?"

"Hello?? Haven??" Flaire spoke.

"Brah move!" Ezra pushed Loca as she tried to open the door.

Loca fell making Kamani look at her on the ground, she punched Ezra exactly in his face making Sapphire, Mac, and Nisha follow up. 

"What's that?! Haven bro!!" Flaire yelled getting annoyed.

Haven jumped out of the car and grabbed the first girl she could and started swinging on her as hard as she could. She tried to mimic how Flaire fought because she didn't know if she had the ability to fight or not, she never had to.

Sapphire grabbed Haven's hair as Loca stood up starting to hit Haven in the back of her head, they were jumping the shit out of her. Haven didn't stop fighting though, Flaire always told her never to stop fighting until the fight was over and she wasn't.

She started swinging wildly even hitting Ezra in the process as he started hitting them too because he was tired of pushing them for them just to come back.

Kamani dropped down getting knocked out as she laid slump on the concrete, Sapphire backed up seeing that as she pulled Nisha. Mac kicked Haven in her face, making her hit her head on Ezra's tire. She yelled out in pain as blood started pouring from the back of her head.

Ezra looked at her and grabbed her putting her in the car, locking the door. He rushed to the side of his door and pulled off not saying another word, he was HOT. 

"What the fuck??! Bro Haven pick up the phone!!! Pick up the fucking phone somebody!" Flaire yelled.

"They jumped me." Haven cried holding the phone. "They jumped me, I didn't even do anything. They just jumped me."

"Who?!" Indigo asked. "Where are you?!"

"I'm bout to take her to the hospital, she hit her head. She bleeding bad." Ezra said as he sped through traffic.

"Haven keep your eyes open, stop trying to close them. I know you may feel light-headed but you can't close your eyes sissy, I'll be with you as soon as you get there." Genesis said.

"Okay," Haven said feeling dizzy and out of it.

Ezra pulled up to the hospital, helping her out of the car. He stayed with her, he wasn't leaving her side after this.

"Baby, I'm tired," Tyke mumbled. "We done fucked too many times, I'm tired of this shit grandpa!"

"Well that's too damn bad, I wanna fuck again."

"Maicee bro my body is sore from football practice."

"Okay? All you gotta do is lay on your damn back."

"Yo, you a fucking fiend." He chuckled making Maicee laugh. "Keygan and Flaire on a date."

"How you know?"

"Look at their stories, they dropping hints without dropping them."

"Whew chile, I low-key loved their relationship. They were better than him and Sapphire."

"High key way better. I swear to God, they were made for each other. I always told them this but it's like they could never get it, I hope they see it now."

"We made for each other?"

"Of course baby." He kissed her as his phone started ringing making them both look at it to see it was Keygan calling. "I swear to God, every time I talk about this nigga he calls me."

"Bro! Where's your bitch?!" He heard Flaire yell making him pull the phone from his ear.

"Wait, why are you yelling?" He asked getting Maicee attention as he put it on speaker.

"Tyke I'm not playing no fucking games with you! Where's your bitch!?"

"I'm right here, wassup?"

"I'm bout to come to your house and fuck you up!" She yelled making Tyke get confused.

"Flaire-"

"Girl, come here. I'm here." Maicee said standing up. 

"Nah, chill the fuck out," Tyke said. "What you wanna fight her for Flaire?"

"Because Imma do her sister so fucking dirty that she gon jump in so Imma save the time and fuck her up right now! Her punk ass sister put Haven in the hospital."

"What?" Mai asked stopping to get ready. "What's wrong with Haven?"

"Your sister and her punk-ass friends jumped my fucking sister! Now she is in the fucking hospital getting her head check out because she has a concussion Imma fuck y'all up! I swear to God on my mother!" 

Maicee ran out of the room as Tyke jumped up chasing after her.

"Stop running in my damn house." Maicee's mother said.

Maicee ran directly to Mac and punched her repeatedly in her face until she knocked her down, she got to kick her two times before Tyke grabbed her. Their brothers walked into the kitchen grabbing Mac as her mother stood up while Mai kept trying to get her.

"You punk ass fucking bitch! You gon fucking jump Haven then gon walk past me like you didn't just send her to the hospital?!" Maicee yelled trying to get to her. "Tyke get the fuck off me before I fight you!"

"I'm not letting you go, come on. Come with me." Tyke tried dragging her out of the kitchen but she held the kitchen table.

"Maicee!" Their mom yelled.

"Oh shit," Tyke said as Maicee kneed him in his balls, he fell down holding his nuts.

Maicee ran towards Mac as she started running from her. "Get her!"

Mitchell grabbed Maicee right before she could hit Maicee again, he held her tightly while Maicee kept trying to get out of their grip.

"After this, I don't know you bitch! You're dead to me literally. You wanna continue picking on somebody who wouldn't hurt a fucking fly! You wanna jump her with bitches who niggas you fucked! And I just hope you know you gon get your ass whooped by her sisters and I hope they send your ass to the hospital too!"

Maicee smacked Mitchell's hands off of her as she started going back upstairs while Tyke lay on the ground still in a bit of pain. Mitchell handed him some peas chuckling, Maicee kneed the fuck out of him.

"What do you have to say for yourself?" Their mom asked. 

"She hit me first! I can't help they jumped in it." Mac lied.

"You causing so much drama cause you wanna be a damn follower." Marcus shook his head. "You think them little girls gon have your back more than your twin sister would've? You ever seen Maicee that mad? Cause I haven't. You fucked up brah."

"Now I have to call Genesis and try to get this shit cleared. Just go to your room and don't come out until I say so."

Just as she said that Maicee came in with a duffle bag in her hand and Tyke stuff. 

"I'm going to stay with Tyke a few days because if I stay here I'm going to kill her with my bare hands. I'm sorry for disrespecting your house mama, I love you."

She didn't wait for a response as she walked off, she was fuming and all she wanted to do was see Haven. Tyke got up a minute later, he said his byes then walked to the car. He grabbed his phone to text Ezra to see where they were at, once he told him they went to the hospital.

When Maicee walked into the room she felt broken, she wanted to cry. Her friend didn't deserve this.

Haven's face was fucked up. 

She had scratches all on her face with a black eye and a puffy lip that was split. She also had a bandage wrapped around her head from the thirty-two stitches she had to get.

"Don't cry, it looks worse than it is." Haven looked at her best friend as Maicee got more mad.

"I'm going to kill every single bitch who touched you, I swear to God. I already tried to kill one."

"What do you mean?" Haven asked.

"She beat the shit out of Mackenize." Tyke chuckled. "Like beat so bad she had her running from her."

"Haven do you want to press charges?" Genesis asked walking in with two police officers.

"Yes," Haven spoke.

Maybe if they get locked up they'll leave me alone for good, Haven thought.

She was so tired of having to argue or fight, she didn't like that. It messed with her anxiety and it took her to places she never had to be.

"I know the names and addresses of three but I'll get all by tomorrow," Genesis told the police as they all walked out so she can finish answering questions.

"Somebody just posted the video," Tyke said looking on Instagram making Maicee jump up to see.

She watched the video trying to see every bitch. She needed to know everybody who touched her because she was going to stomp them out.

These bitches were going to pay, even if it led to her being in bars herself.
