My girls came to get me about an hour later. I had no idea where we were going and honestly I didn’t care. I was with my girls. Nia was driving, but I knew since I was coming, I was now the designated driver. I didn’t mind though, I didn’t plan on drinking much. I got in the back with Taylor who was fixing her mascara in a mirror. Shae was up front reapplying her lipstick.

“Where this place at?” Nia asked. She started up the car and looked back at Taylor.

“It’s off of first and Read,” Taylor replied without looking up from her mirror. Nia put the car in drive and we were off. Shae grabbed the auxiliary cord and hooked her phone up to the radio. Rihanna “Bitch Better Have My Money” came blasting out of the speakers.

“Look T, we know you don’t like it here but Taylor’s boyfriend invited us to this party and Taylor already said she was coming. We can’t just change up the plans because you come along” Shae said and then continued, “That wouldn’t be fair now would it?”

I sighed. I was kind of intruding on their plans. Besides what was the point in fighting it? I wasn’t going to get home. It would be a waste of breath, and I was here to have a good time with my girls. I got out of the car and followed them to the house where the party was held. We were all stared down as we walked up to the house and I began to get uncomfortable. I was kind of regretting coming. As soon as I got in the house I was instantly annoyed. This wasn’t a party.
