"Well dang hello to you too." Squirrel frowned and pushed past me. "Let us in."
Chauncey followed behind him and I shut the door, locking it soon after.
"Why are you guys here?" I was confused because nobody had came over here as of lately besides Daddy and DaeDae.
"Damn you ain't happy to see us?" Chauncey mugged me.
"Sorry." I shook my head as they followed me upstairs to my room. "I didn't mean it in that way."
"We just wanted to come see what was up wit you. You ain't been answering nobody calls. Damn this loud ass music." He bust out laughing.
"Sorry about that." I sat back in the middle of my bed and picked up my carton of Ice cream that was melting a little.
"Damn y'all living nice on this side of town. If ian know you, I'd rob you." Squirrel looked around my room.
"Where're you guys coming from?"
"Six Flags." They smiled in unison.
"You guys drove over there?"
"Yeah. It was only like a good hour. Look, I got me a monkey." Squirrel held up a ugly ass pink monkey.
"Cute." I gave him a tight-lipped smile.
"You such a liar." Chauncey shook his head.
"On hood. Then she gone give me the white people smile. You down bad big sis."
"We brought you back a Funnel cake." Chauncey smiled lazily making me smile a little. They both looked high as hell.
"No, I ate that on the way here remember?" Squirrel tried to speak lowly but I still heard him.
"Oh yeahhh. Well Squirrel got the munchies so he ate it. Still, we was thinking bout you." He smiled.
"Aye but how you been though?" Squirrel asked me.
"I've been good." I lied, putting a spoon full of ice cream in my mouth.
Chauncey bent his head down to my level making me look up at him.
"You lying."
"No I'm not. I'm okay." I frowned.
"Bitch please." He kicked his shoes off and made himself comfortable in my bed. "Tell Papa what's wrong."
Squirrel followed suit, getting on my right side while Chauncey laid along my left side. I sat in the middle, stuffing my face with half melted icecream.
"I don't know what's wrong." I admitted. "I just feel a bunch of different emotions."
"Let them bitches out." Squirrel blurted.
"Just don't cry. Cause that's gay." Chauncey added.
"I just feel so alone guys. I don't know, that's how I've been feeling my whole life. Like yeah, I have my family and you guys protect me like no other but, I still feel like I don't have anyone in my corner."
"But how? I feel like I'm a good ass uncle-"
"Stop tryna make this about you." I cut my eyes at him.
"You right, you right. Continue."
"I feel like everyone has proven their point to me. Everybody milked me clean for all I had to give and left me here to rot, not once looking back and thinking, 'damn i wonder how vadah feels about that'."
"And what's crazy is, I'm looked at as the bad guy if I don't take y'all feelings into consideration. Nobody cares to talk to me to see how I'm feeling."
TWENTY-FIVE.
