_____________________Two days later...

Sarai's POVIt's taken me no time to find my new apartment that I'm going to be renting.

I could've just moved in with Bryson but he has way too much going on in that house now whether he's sleeping with a new girl every night, drinking, drugs...he's completely changed. Sometimes I wish he never became NLE Choppa.

He gave me two months rent for the apartment upfront but I told him I want the responsibility of figuring out how I'm going to pay for it going forward.

Living in LA is extremely expensive but this is going to push me to become independent and have my own.

Although........the one thing I did let Bryce buy me is a car so I can get around. I will say I love and appreciate my new whip!

I haven't heard from Durk because I blocked him. I actually haven't talked to anyone because I'm so focused on finishing school finally and starting my clothing line.

My degree will be in Graphic Design and I only have one year left! When I went to the store I bought some clothes that I'm going to start customizing and selling. My goal is to have my own boutique at some point.

Like the great big sister I am, Olai is here with me because she's moving in. Living with Bryce wasn't a good environment for her especially since she's being home schooled. I need to find a way for her to still make friends. I couldn't imagine having a child of my own to worry about, this is already too much.

"Ummm Sarai what are we doing today? It's the weekend and I'm bored as hell." Olai asked me

"Can't you see I'm trying to buy things for the apartment Olai?"

"Okay well what am I going to do in the meantime?"

"Whatever you want—

"I want to see Zayden, I know you have Durk's number dammit."

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨‼️⁉️DID YOU VOTE OR COMMENT YET?‼️⁉️✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

"Olai...lower your voice please."

"Why can't you just let me call him? My phone doesn't work anymore."

"I already told you I'm not talking to Durk right now. With that attitude I'm definitely not replacing your phone. You'll be stuck with that iPhone 3 the rest of your time here."

"Isn't he your so called boyfriend? Or did you mess that up already?"

"Olai, I don't have to explain myself to my 10 year old sister."

"Well you're legally responsible for me now and I'm tired of living this bullshit life. I have no friends or social life whatsoever. I want to hang out with them again!!! I will make your life a living hell for the next 8 years!!!"

"You're going to have to get over that—

"No, just text him and ask if I can come over."

"No Olai, I'm not about to keep repeating myself. I'm the adult with real life responsibilities right now. I'm not worried about your crush and seeing him."

"Ugh, this is so stupid. I wish I could move out already. Right when I turn 18 I'm out of here."

"You could always be put up for adoption if you hate it that much."

"What did you say?!" Olai yelled on the verge of tears.

"See you want to act grown but then can't handle it."

She stormed off in her room rolling and crying on the floor like a little drama queen.

"OLAI STOP NOW OR I'M MOVING YOU BACK WITH BRYSON!"

"No, he neglected me all the time just how you are! Mom and dad would hate how you guys treat me!!!"

"Well they aren't here anymore so you can stop bringing them up all the time."

"It's fine, I'll just lay in my room depressed all day how you do."

and with that she slammed the door so hard I thought it would fall off the hinges.

This is not going to work. I need to find away for Olai to occupy her time because I will go insane.

I stopped what I was doing and unblocked Durk's number. I do still want to be friends at some point and I kind of miss him but..........I don't know if I want to reach out yet. Especially just to arrange for Olai to meet up with his kids. I'll just think about it and maybe text him later today.

Durk's POV"DURK YOU SUCK NIGGA!" Booka yelled

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

"I ain't missed one bucket, fuck is you talking about?"

"Seem like you got better since last time, what happened?" Russ asked me

"Ion know tryna let my frustration out."

"What's going on brother?"

"Just life, you know how that go."

"I mean you said you frustrated, I thought something may have happened recently."

"Nah...I mean......I got a lot going on. My kids, this rapping shit, relationship......"

"Oh yeah I saw some videos from yo album release party online, how did you meet that girl?"

"That's a story for another day bro."

"You think she the one?"

"Yeah........I ain't really talk to her in a minute though."

"How you ain't talking to yo own damn girlfriend?"

"She left and blocked my number."

"Why?"

"Some shit went down, can't really get into the details."

"You try calling her?"

"Of course. She blocked me...I thought about using another phone but—

"Don't stop until you get an answer. If you want to fix whatever you did, don't let too much time go by."

"I don't know, I—

"Call her right now. If she don't answer you can use my phone."

"I'm telling you she ain't gon answer she blocked my damn number."

"Lil bro I'm tryna help you but you ain't listening. If you don't take my advice you gon be stuck tryna figure this shit out on your own."

"Okay imma show you."

I dialed Sarai's number again and it rang forever until she picked up.

"What I tell you?" Russ said walking away

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨‼️⁉️DID YOU VOTE OR COMMENT YET?‼️⁉️✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Sarai's POV📞"Hello?"

"Oh uh...hey?"

"Ummm...you called?"

"Oh yeah, I wasn't expecting you to answer though."

"Okay.......me either actually."

"What?"

"I don't know......."

Ughhhhhhhhh this feels so awkward right now, I'm having breathing issues again. I can't even look at him the same let alone have a normal conversation with him. I don't know what he's calling for anyway, probably to apologize again but I really don't care. There's nothing he can say that'll make me forget about what he did.

"Whatchu doin?"

"...................sitting down?"

"On a Saturday afternoon?"

"I'm a home body."

"You at Bryson's?"

"No......?"

"Oh........where are you?"

"I mean........that's kind of personal..."

"I'm concerned about you. You up and left here so I'm just making sure you safe."

"I am."

"You know I........."

DURK GET OFF THE COURT YOU IN THE WAY!!!!

"Who is that yelling at you?"

"Oh that's just Booka dumb ass."

"Oh okay, so what were you saying?"

"I wish you would let me prove to you I ain't cheat."

"Durk—

"Wait. Can you just come over again?"

"I don't feel comfortable being there."

"I can come to you?"

"Ummm........."

"What? You living with somebody?"

"I mean.......my sister is living with me."

"Oh is it just you two?"

"Yes."

"Ion understand."

"What do you mean?"

"How is it just you two?"

"I moved into an apartment in downtown LA Durk."

"Just you two? Or who you living with?"

"I'm living alone here and taking care of my sister for now."

"Oh okay, NLE just paying for y'all to stay there?"

"No? I'll be paying the rent."

"How? You working now?"

"Durk you sure do have a lot of questions. I will be making my own money to pay the rent yes."

"Damn........you know you don't have to do that—

"I want to."

"Can I come by and see your new place and then we just talk?"

"................"

Maybe I should hear what he has to say but I know it'll just be a bunch of lies.

"Sarai?"

"Ummm.......sure."

_____________________Six hours later...

Durk's POV

***knock ***knock ***knock

I waited for Sarai to open her apartment door and it took her forever. Few more minutes and it finally opened and it was her little sister.

"Hey Durk" she smiled up at me.

"Wassup? How you been?"

"Missing your son that's for sure."

"Oh for real, you like him that much huh?"

"Yes, we are best friends."

"I bet, where's your sister?"

"She's in her bathroom trying to get ready to see you. She may even be trying to put on makeup. I think she's trying to impress you or something since you both broke up. She's been freaking out over what to wear too."

"You just put your sister business all out there huh?"

"Just keeping it real."

"Y'all two are so different."

"I know. Are those flowers you brought for her or me?"

"They for Sarai, I'll have to bring you some next time aight?"

"Olai didn't I—

Sarai stopped talking when she saw me and looked hella sad. How am I going to fix this shit now.

I know she'll be too shy to say anything else so I walked the flowers over to her.

"Thanks........"

"You like them?"

"Yes, they are super pretty."

"Just like you."

"Awwww Durk that was nice." her sister said out of nowhere

Sarai's POV"Olai please go in your room and don't come out until I'm done."

"Done doing what?"

"Talking Olai don't play dumb!"

"I don't care to hear your conversations Sarai. Get over yourself please........" Olai responded stomping to her room and slamming the door again.

"Damn, you let her talk to you like that?" Durk asked turning his attention back to me.

"She's always been disobedient..."

"Nah you need to fix that shit, even if I have to say something."

"Yeah I know..........I think our parents dying just made it worse."

"I understand. I'm happy to see you though."

".............."

"Which nigga been over here so I know who to kill?"

"Ummmm...no one has been here other than Olai and I."

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨‼️⁉️DID YOU VOTE OR COMMENT YET?‼️⁉️✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

"Okay good........I see you got hella clothes laying around here, a sewing machine?......"

"I'm designing clothes........."

"Mmm I ain't know you like doing that. This just a hobby or?"

"I'm going to sell them?"

"Oh like a business, that's cool."

"I want to open a boutique..."

"What's stopping you? I thought you wanted to do a makeup line or some shit?"

"I did but I changed to fashion design because I really like dressing up. My degree that I'm finishing now is actually in Graphic Design. But I have to make money first so I'm working on an online store before anything."

"I gotchu."

"No I want to earn my money."

"You sure you don't want me to give you some money so you can open the store now?"

"Yes I'm sure..."

"You could start making money faster."

"That's okay Durk......."

"Well if you ain't making money yet, how you plan on paying to stay here?"

"Bryson gave me the two months rent to get the apartment and then enough to cover my third and fourth rent payment. By that time I should have enough money to do just fine on my own."

"This just ridiculous."

"What is?"

"My wife moved out and is doing all this extra shit."

"Oh I'm your wife now? I wasn't when you—

"Damn Sarai, it's my fault that all this shit happened. I shouldn't have been acting like that okay??? I wish I never even let her ass in to wait. Ain't shit happen, I was tired and wasn't thinking. I regret it."

"Then why did she say it was so good catching up and that you slept with her?"

"Ion fuckin know, she been doing crazy shit and she jealous of us."

"Right..."

"Sarai look I ain't cheat on you. I understand you don't wanna believe me so—

"No I don't. Once a cheater always a cheater."

"Okay. Just remember you said that. You keep listening to what other people say and not going off my word, I'll remember that."

He is angry now and threw something down on the table that looked like a hard drive.

"What is this?" I asked picking it up.

"I had my security gimme the footage that day so you can watch and see ain't shit happen."

"Okay but I don't understand why you're getting upset with me? This is your fault Durk."

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨‼️⁉️DID YOU VOTE OR COMMENT YET?‼️⁉️✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

"I fucked up with how I was treating you at first but I didn't fuck up by cheating on you. Obviously you ain't tryna hear shit I gotta say. You blocked me so fuck it."

"Durk I don't want us to have confrontation like this. I still want to support you and be there for you."

I saw Olai peeking outside her door and watching us so I walked over there and slammed it shut. She thought it was funny but this is a very serious situation.

"Okay well I'll give you space." Durk said grabbing his keys and getting ready to leave again. ☹️

A small part of me is starting to wonder what if he's not lying...I never gave him the benefit of the doubt but the way he had been acting and the things he said it all just made sense.

"What are you doing the rest of the night?" I asked

"Shit I'll probably just think about you, smoke, studio...that's it."

"On a Saturday night?"

"I ain't in the mood to be doing extra shit."

I picked up the hard drive again as he walked towards the door.

"Hey I..........."

"What?"

"I didn't say it earlier but I'm happy to see you too, you and I still have a great friendship I don't want to lose...maybe we moved to fast."

"Goodnight Sarai" was all he said before opening and shutting the door in my face.

I may as well watch whatever is on this hard drive.......just for my peace of mind.

_____________________The next morning...

Muwop's POV

7:35am

📞 "Hello..."

I don't know who the fuck in they right mind would be calling me this early.

"Hey, this is Sarai."

"Sarai?"

"Sorry to wake you...but you said I can reach out if I need anything."

"What's wrong?"

"I messed up!"

"How?"

"I falsely accused Durk of something......he's going to hate me now."

"I doubt he do that, you try calling him?"

"No........I'm afraid of what he might say. What should I do? You know him super well like........how will he react?"

"Durk chill and I know he really fuckin with you, just talk to him."

"Will he still want me?"

"You gotta ask him but calm down first, I rarely hear your voice this loud."

"Do you know if he's home?"

"He should be, just pull up to his crib and see."

"Okay...sorry I shouldn't have even called."

"Nah I'm glad you did. I'm like the big brother you wish you had."

"Okay well I'm going to head his way now."

"Aight, let me know how it go."

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨‼️⁉️DID YOU VOTE OR COMMENT YET?‼️⁉️✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Durk's POV"Henry!!! What the fuck I tell y'all about not cutting the fucking steak up when it's served. I don't have time to be doing this shit."

"Well sir we are short staffed right now and didn't have time."

"You fired."

"I—

"Get the fuck out, I'll find somebody else to the damn job."

"Okay just so you know sir you have someone waiting to get in to see you. I'll pack my things and leave the premises."

"Who is it?"

"I don't know, they are in a white Range Rover."

I don't know anyone with that car so I'll go outside and figure out who it is my damn self.

As soon as I opened the door I saw Sarai jump out the passenger seat. She ran up to me and jumped on me and wrapped her legs around me. She was holding onto me for dear life...she must've watched the tape...shaking my fucking head.

She tried to kiss me but I dodged that shit. Gotta teach her ass a lesson.

"Durk pleaseeeeeeeee!!!!!"

"Why the sudden change of heart? I thought once a cheater always a cheater?"

"Durk I'm sorry I should've heard you out!!! Please!!!"

"Ion know I think I want a break now."

"No Durk I'm in love you with, please don't hurt me like this. It was so hard trying to live without you."

"You should've thought about that before."

"Durk please, can I make it up to you?"

"Nah, I'm good. You can go actually." I  placed her back on her feet and turned around to walk back in the house. I looked back and saw she sat on the ground crying hella hard.

"Alright I wasn't tryna make you cry and shit, I was just tryna to make you feel how I felt..." I said picking her up.

"You don't want to break up with me?"

"No, Sarai. I love you too much. You just need me to hold you huh?"

"Yes........I......I feel so bad...I thought you wouldn't want me. I even called and asked Muwop for advice on what to do...I'm sorry."

"What? I don't like that. Why you ain't just call me?"

"I didn't know how you would react."

"Sarai, just don't do that shit again okay? I need you to just talk to me about us no one else. Especially not one of my fuckin brothers. You and I don't have issues talking shit out any other time."

"Okay, I'm sorry."

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨‼️⁉️DID YOU VOTE OR COMMENT YET?‼️⁉️✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

"Stop apologizing. I blame him for even entertaining it. This nigga Muwop been making deadly decisions for a minute now."

"I feel so stupid...I have this apartment now and everything."

"You coming back home now?"

"Well...Olai has to come with me."

"That's cool."

"Awwww Durk, honestly you are the best."

"I know, who bought you this car?"

"Bryson, do you like it?"

"It's nice, I could buy you something better though."

"I mean...I have no problem with having two cars."

"It's my job to spoil you, not his."

"What would I do without you? I'm sorry I almost ruined everything."

"It looked wrong, I get it. Still my fault."

"By the way, I was stalking you........I saw you in some new video with an artist.....I think her name was Farina?"

"Yeah? You like the song?"

"Ummm no. She was all over you?!"

"It's apart of the industry Sarai, I keep it professional."

"I guess.......I hated seeing it. This is just what it's like dating a celebrity."

"You ain't got shit to worry about aight?"

"Okay."

"You should never listen to anybody over me again either."

"Never again...it was a complete misunderstanding."

"Aight...we can drop the shit now. Let's go inside."

"I have to go and pick up Olai. I left her in the apartment alone."

"You want me to come with you?"

"That's okay, I'll be right back."

"Be safe for me?"

"Of course...later tonight do you want to have a drink and unwind? I can make it up to you for all the false accusations too."

"How you plan on making it up to me tonight?"

"I'm going to strip for you."

"For real? That's how you feelin."

"I was joking......."

"Don't play with me like that."

"It's a surprise, you will enjoy the position we will be in though. It'll be a lot of fun..."

"Hurry back then, I got some shit going on today because it's my brother birthday tomorrow, you ain't met him yet. We throwing him a surprise party and some of the guys coming over today to plan the shit. You can be there with me."

"Oh of course, what's his name?"

"D Thang."
