━━━━" GIRLLL , I'M TIRED OF THESE FUCK ASS NIGGAS. " Aaliyah
expressed to Kailani over the phone as she rolled her eyes.

" Liyah , you say that everydayy. " D'ionee replied with a sigh as she continued scrolling on Instagram on the couch.

"It's like you saying my man everyday but the other way around." Kailani said, as she walked past the phone screen, to grab something from her desk.

"Ya'll fa real don't understand—" Aaliyah stated before pausing. She looked back at her phone that showed the Instagram notification '@deandeethefirst has liked your post '

"You got to be joking—"Aaliyah's face shifted into that look of disgust. "Liyah, what happened now?—" Kailani questioned, bringing herself in back in front of the screen.

D'ionee looked up from her phone and looked at Aaliyah in confusion as Aaliyah just let out a heavy sigh.

"Tell me why this bum ass nigga got the audacity to like my post after I told his ass I was done with him?" A tone of irritation came over her, Kailani just shook her head in disbelief.

"Deandre?" Her friend D'ionee questioned as she began to get up from the couch and making her way to Aaliyah in the dining room.

"Yesss D'ionee. He's honestly getting on my nerves ever since we broke up." Aaliyah sighed into her hand, she was completely tired of his constant invasion in her life.

"Stop entertaining that nigga, he's just being weirdt. Matta a fact, you need to block him. Like now." D'ionee advised her as she placed her hand on her shoulder in order to comfort her.

"Matta fact, Imma do it right now. Blocking him on everything." Grabbing ahold of her phone, and making her way to the Instagram notification.

If she was being completely honest the thought of her ex in general made her skin itch. She hated him but she wasn't completely over him.

...

━━━━"WHO THE FUCK IS TREY?" Deandre complained as he held his phone in his hand with screen showing Aaliyah's recent Instagram post and her comments.

"Nigga how the fuck am I supposed to know?? Also you're weird for stalking her page after all that shit that went down—" His friend continued before being interrupted. 

"Nah I need ta know who dis nigga is an Ion know why Aaliyah trynna be sneaky actin' like I won't find this shit out." He seethed, looking at his friend with an infuriated look on his face.

He couldn't believe how fast she was moving on.

"Why are you getting mad at Aaliyah for moving on? She dumped your ass." [F/N] shrugged, He didn't understand why Deandre was making such a big deal out of this.

I mean It wasn't his business to be mad about, he was the one who cheated. "You fr need to find a hobby or something to do. She clearly doesn't want you in her life."

"Shut the fuck up, I ain't playin' witchu, and I ain't findin' no 'hobby' eitha'. Fuck you talmbout." Deandre resorted, getting defensive by the moment.

" I'm just sayin' " [F/N] looked up from his phone and gave him a shrug. He did not know what his friend had going on.

Deandre just completely ignored his friend and pressed on Trey's Instagram profile that showed all his posts.

He scrolled through each one of his posts before soon coming to the realization that Trey looked familiar.

Deandre squinted his eyes. "Yo don't he look familiar or am I trippin' ?" He asked his friend, turning his phone and showing him the instagram account.

His friend soon enough looked up from his own phone and toke Deandre phone in his hand. He scrolled through, analyzing Trey's post before speaking.

"Ain't that lil Dee's plug, the lil nigga that always be smelling like weed?" He supposed before he passed Deandre his phone back.

"Nah fa' real? Dats why I knew he looked familiar." He toke his phone back, looking back at the post before putting his phone away.

"So what he doin' messin' wit Aaliyah?" [F/N] inquired about it, he was confused on how that happened.

"Man Ion know, but I can't believe this the lil nigga she moved onto." Deandre shook his head in disbelief, acting like he was way better but we both know that's not true.

"Who's his connect?" Deandre questioned his friend, he needed more information on this guy, he was confused on why a guy like him was messing around with Aaliyah.

"Ion know, all I know is that he know some people, like fa real." [F/N] warned Deandre.

...

JADED by Drake played in the background while Aaliyah cooked in the kitchen. She hummed along to the song while getting the food prepared for her two friends.

For the past two days, Trey's been on her mind, she didn't know if she should tell her friends the truth about that day because as you would know she tells them everything.

Her friends were seated in the dining room talking to one another about their day. Not really paying attention whilst Aaliyah finished preparing the food.

(No dialogue cause I don't feel like writing that , sorry . )

"You guys remember 2 days when I got lost in the club, my phone died and I came back home the next day?" Aaliyah hesitated, as she brought up the past event, soon enough passing the food.

"Yeah? What about it?" Kailani questioned her as why she randomly brought it up again, while she took the plate from Aaliyah.

D'ionee payed attention to Aaliyah while also being confused on how this topic came up into the conversation. Aaliyah placed both her and D'ionee's plate on the table.

"Well I might've lied about what happened that day." She hesitated, before she sat down at the table, looking at her friends with a slight anxious expression.

"What are you talkin' about?" Kailani speculated about the situation , she still didn't know what she was talking about.

"What I'm trynna say is that, I lied about sleeping at Layah's that night." She voiced, soon enough munching on the food on the plate in front of her.

"So where did you sleep?" D'ionee asked with concern toned in her voice, she wanted to make sure that he friend was safe at all times because the streets of Atlanta was no joke.

"While you guys were looking for me, I met this guy named Trey and left the club with him. And that ended ina one night stand with him."

Both of her friends surprised faces were clearly visible when she finished her sentence. They just looked at her like she was crazy.

"Aaliyah! Hold up. You really left us at the club worried just for you ta get yo shit fucked?!—" D'ionee couldn't help the gasp that fell out.

"I was drunk as hell but you should've seen himm!." Aaliyah beamed, disregarding her friend's obvious concern.

"GIRL TELL ME EVRRTHING." Kailani practically hollered out, she wanted to know about what type of guy he was for Aaliyah.

"He fine as helll, he got curly hair, tattoos  Although, He a lil cocky and shit but you know how niggas be." Aaliyah explained, shrugging it off.

"Are you gonna go for it!?" Kailani asked, hoping that her friend would finally find her happiness and forget about her cheating ass ex.

"Girl no, I mean he is fine and all that but I'm not just gonna jump into a relationship, I need to heal." Aaliyah explained, she didn't want to rush into this kind of thing.

"Yeah you right Aaliyah, especially after everything that happened with Deandre." D'ionee sighed remembering the night the two of them broke up.

Just hearing his name made Aaliyah feel icky, she felt all the emotions from just hearing his name. Aaliyah shook her head, throwing her head in her hands.

"I don't know what's it gonna take to forget him." She mumbled softly.

"It's gonna take time, just continue to focus on yourself." D'ionee replied.

Aaliyah sighed softly , nodding along to the words of comfort and advice her friends gave her.

...

━━━━"AYE LIL MAN!"  Trey's voice echoed through walls of Devonte's house as he walked in. His house was those types of houses where it was simple, nothing too much.

"OHH! What up T! What's the word?" Dee questioned the man, bring him more into the house with a handshake.

Their relationship was simple enough, they were what you would call simple acquaintances, Trey was his plug and he was his buyer, nothing more nothing less.

"Man, Nothin' been happenin' 'round the block." The young man shrugged, being blunt with his words, I mean really? What was there to say?

"Oh Aight, How you been tho, T?" Dee went on, asking the man the basic questions trying to keep conversation.

"I've been waiting on when you gon give me dat money you owe me." Trey hinted at the fact that he only came here to get his money from this guy.

"Mane, I'm sorry, I'mma get it to you by tomorra'. Trust." Devonte lied through his words, assuring the man that he had his money.

His face filled with uneasiness mostly because he didn't want to give Trey his money, but he knew he was going to keep asking.

"You been sayin' that shit for past two weeks." He criticized the man, he was getting tired of his constant bullshit. Trey's facial expression slipped into one of annoyance.

"I know I know, I just need some mo' time." His buyer sighed softly, trying his hardest to reassure him that he was telling the truth.

'Nigga if you know , then why do you keep saying that shit.'

That's when he realized this dude was lying straight to him in his face. Thinking that he was dumb enough to think "he needs more time."

"Nigga you must think I'm fuckin' dumb if you think ima believe you need another day. You better run my shit befo' I run somethin' else." Trey snapped in a ruthless tone.

"Wait whatchu' mean?—" His friend tried to act dumb but that just triggered Trey even more to point where he grabbed his pole from out his pants.

Trey aimed the pole at the man's leg and didn't even hesitate before pulling the trigger and shooting.

BANG!

"AUGHHH—FUCK MY LEG." The man wailed at the excruciating pain in his leg from the shot and his body immediately thumped onto the ground.

The pain was extremely intense to him and he felt as he could barely move his leg.

Trey stood over Dee who was on the ground wailing, he watched his reaction to the shot, slightly grinning in satisfaction.

"If you tell me where da money at , imma let you go and we can forget about this." Trey lied through that sadistic ass smirk.

He knew full on well he was not gonna let this dude go, he just needed him to trust him.

Devonte was hesitant on telling Trey the honest truth because he didn't know if he would actually let him go and be free.

"...W-Warehouse on 20th' street." He stammered, whimpering from the pain in his left leg.

"Aight , Aight." Trey's smirk vanished as quickly as it came turning into a cold glare at the guy. He lowered himself to his level and brought himself to his ear.

"You ain't leaving this shit alive, trust and believe that." Trey softly whispered as if he wasn't going to kill this dude.

Dee knew he was fucked when Trey began to point the gun at him once again. He aimed the pole at his head with his finger on the trigger.

"Wait—Wait Really T?! You gon kil—"

BANG!

His body thumped on the ground and the blood made a pool around his head.

Trey soon stood up and smacked his teeth, looking at the man on the ground before putting his pole back in his pants.

"You ain't finna finesse me outta my money and act like I won't do shit about it." He spat out.

This wasn't just about the money, it was about the principle as well.

Because if shit got out that he allowed someone to rob him of HIS money then other people around him would think it was okay to try and rob him as well.

And we both know he didn't want that.
