Chapter 6

I woke up to the sounds of my cellphone ringing obnoxiously beside me.

What the fuck??With Rayquan dead, there was virtually no one who needed to wake me up so early in the damn morning.

Except one other person. Someone I couldn't believe I forgot about.

Incoming call: Laura.

Shit!?I cursed myself. Today wasn't what I thought it was. I sat up quickly and picked up the call.?

"Hey girllllllll." I answered into the phone.

"I know you didn't forget my family's barbecue today! You were supposed to be here an hour ago so we could get ready together!" Laura exclaimed.

"I'm so sorry. I started my new job last night- I overslept." I finally get out.

"You're still coming right?" Laura asked, anxiously.

"Yes, of course. I'll just meet you there." I tell her, hanging up the phone.

I laid back in bed, my limbs spread out starfish styled. My head was still a little clouded from the alcohol I drank last night but my memory retained the most important parts.

Jackson.
