Next Morning

True stayed up all night thinking about Damien and legend being together. something in his gut was telling him some sneaky shit was going on. back in the day damien was a cool dude, despite them being friends, true really didn't know that much about him.
Damien lived in the rich neighborhood, but was always in the hood. He didn't allow anyone to come over to his house, and he never shared too much information. Besides knowing his mother and his little sisters, true knew that damien had a child. No one knew who the mother was though; damien kept his relationships a secret, so whoever he was dealing with was always unknown.

True had been calling erica's phone all day and each time he got sent straight to voicemail. He was beginning to get upset, she has been doing that a lot lately.

He had no idea what erica was doing or where she was, he just hoped she wasn't on no sneaky shit. Since he got out people been coming to him with all kind of information on Erica; like when people told him while he was locked up that erica was pregnant. He never asked her about, because he didn't believe them.

Silly of him to think she would really be loyal to him.

Legend P.O.V

Legend was sitting in bed watching Moesha and eating birthday cake ice cream. She didn't feel like being bothered today, she was off and planned on chilling all day.

She got a call from her daddy, telling her he needed to talk to her. She already knew what he wanted to talk about. She only wished her brothers and true would mind their own business.

Legend was enjoying her alone time, but of course it was interrupted by a knock on the door. Legend groaned, before putting her ice cream on the side table near her bed. She slipped on her pink cotton robe and her rabbit slippers, before walking down the hall. She sent out a group text saying she didn't want to be bothered today, and somebody was interrupting her chill time. She swung the door open ready to curse somebody out, but calmed down.

She noticed it was toya, toya brushed past legend and walked into her bedroom. Legend was used to this, when they were younger she would walk into their house like she lived there. she had no damn manners. Walking back to her room she knew she couldn't be mad. Most likely she was just worried about her and needed legend to be in her presence.

She collapsed on the bed reaching for her ice cream. "This bitch." She mumbled , lifting her head she looked over and saw toya eating her ice cream. "Damn, you ain't never heard of asking?"

Toya licked her face before saying "I love you too baby."

Legend mugged toya which only caused toya to laugh, she snatched the ice cream out of toya's hands before filling her mouth with the creamy goodness. Now this is life she thought.

"What we doing today?" toya asked changing the channel from Moesha to Law and Order SVU.

"We are doing nothing, im taking a nap." legend replied

"Okay me too." toya said laughing.

The girls soon went to sleep.

This is what true friendship was all about, being able to take naps together and chill without actually having to speak to each other. The girls slept for 2 hours before toya having to pick up her kids from her mother's house. Not wanting their day to end they planned a sleepover, Legend baked two oven pizzas, laid out all the snacks and drinks in the living room and picked out some great movies to watch.

she move her couch back and made a pallet big enough for all four of them on the floor. She wanted to spend time with the kids too, she had only seen them a couple of times.

Just as she placed the last pillow down, the oven beeped signaling the pizza was done. she removed both pizzas, and cut them equally amongst the group.

Toya soon returned with both kids and their bags, everyone washed up and put on their pajamas, before grabbing slices of pizza and deciding on a movie to watch.

The night was filled with laughter, fun, and scary movies.

Legend wished her days could always be like this.

3 days later ..

Legend met up with her father at his home, looking around the place brought back so many memories. she instantly felt bad for not visiting more, her father was in his early sixties, and she knew with him getting older he was also getting lonely; especially after their mother left him so many years ago, she never saw him get close to another woman after that.

Legend was 6 when their mother left, no one knew why. She didn't say a word or leave a note, she just left.

legend often thought about her and wondered if she was even still alive.

Her father had to work twice as hard to take care of the family, the boys were all older and noticed that times were getting hard so they all decided to sell drugs, nothing heavy, weed was the only thing they would touch. Of course her father knew nothing about this since the boys also had legal jobs too. They all pitched in on the bills.

Legend had zoned out so she didn't see her father step into the room, he gently tapped her shoulder.

She jumped, her heart was racing "daddy, you scared me!"

He laughed, causing her to laugh to, "I tried calling your name, you was too zoned out. everything okay?"

She nodded "you ever find out what happened to mommy?"His face saddened, he sat down on the couch "no sweetie, it's like she vanished." Seeing the look on his face she regretted bringing it up.

Legend sat next to her father "I know why you called me here, so no need to beat around the bush."

"loyalty is everything, you and true been friends forever. regardless of what beef y'all got going on now the love and loyalty supposed to still be there! you know exactly what happened between him and damien; to be honest i think you only fucking with him to get back at true."

She listened to her father's word, knowing that what he was saying was true. she didn't have a response, knowing she was wrong and had to call true and apologize.

She just hoped he wasn't too and at her.

True P.O.V

True waited for erica to creep into the house like she had been doing for the past three nights. "Where you been at erica?" startled by his voice, she flipped the light switch before saying "I was at my mom's house."

He knew she was lying, he already called her mother and she said they hadn't spoken in 2 years.

"Stop fucking lying erica!" he stood from the couch.

"who is you raising your voice at? nigga you ain't my daddy, you don't need to be clocking my every move!"

he stepped to her, "quit playing with me! where the fuck you been at, you see what time it is? it's 2:30 in the morning!"

erica backed up, "get out my face, I'm going to take a shower!"

he grabbed her arm, she swung back causing her purse to fall on the floor. the contents in her purse scattered across the floor. before she could grab it true seen the empty condom wrapper. he picked it up laughing, "who is he?" his voice was calm, but on the inside he was boiling.

Shaking his head he knew he should've just listen to everybody when they told him to leave erica alone.

"Who is who?" erica asked playing dumb

"You know exactly who I'm talking about erica, the nigga you out her fucking behind my back!" true yelled

"I'm not fucking nobody else, how you know the condom not from you! I'm not a hoe true, I've been nothing but loyal to you!" she yelled back.

True laughed before stepping in front of her, this made erica nervous she didn't know what to do. He looked down seeing a picture, he picked it up. He throw the picture down feeling played. He punched a whole in the wall, fuming with anger.

He decided to leave before he did anything he would regret, "your ass better be gone, before i get back!"

Legend P.O.V

Waking up to the sound of banging on her door, legend flung her covers back and marched to the door. "what do you want?" she yelled, true paid her no attention. Her brushed past her, walking into the kitchen.

"What you got to eat?" he asked her, legend rolled her eyes before going back into her room

She checked the time 4:45AM, she rolled her eyes she was going back to work today. She needed all the rest she could get.

"So you just gon ignore me?"

Legend sighed "true get out of my room!"

He ignored her, he took off his shoes and laid in bed next to her. Legend shook her head, before laying down and cuddling next to him.

"I missed you true." she admitted, the room was filled with silence legend thought he had fallen asleep .

But, after i long silence true spoke "I missed you too babygirl."

Them getting back cool was going to be a work in progress but it would be worth it in the end.
