"Last drop." I frowned.
"Yeah. I've been thinking about moving on from the whole Briar Beauties situation, but it wasn't until today that I made up my mind."
"Since when did our sisterhood become a situation?"
"River, leave it alone," she scoffed, lining her next shot.
"No." Rising from the stool, I walked over, knocking the balls every which way.
"River, chill," she spat.
"Not until you tell me why you want to leave your sisters?"
"Y'all are not my sisters. Never have been. Honey and I don't get along. Kyree and Kysre don't fuck with me. Chosyn and I never got along, and the rest of the girls don't even matter forreal."
"What about me? Am I not your sister?"
"River... " She chuckled.
"What's funny? Am I not your sister?" I asked again.
"You're not!"
"Wow!" I spat, nodding my head.
"Don't act surprised, River. You and I haven't been close in years. If I'm being honest, the two of us haven't fucked with each other since?—"
"Chosyn came into the picture," I finished for her.
"You said it, not me." She shrugged.
"Because you never speak on shit. Instead, you act like a fucking brat."
"I've never been a brat. You have me confused with your bestie."
"This isn't about Chosyn."
"It's not. It's about you and the way you stick up for everyone but me."
"Really?" My eyes bucked because Leah couldn't have been serious. All I did was get into fights behind her and her loose ass lips.
"Yes! How the fuck are you barking on me when Chosyn started this shit? Then you let her call me a charity case as if she's not the homeless bitch your mom took in."
"Leah," I spat. "Again, this isn't about Chosyn. Whatever jealousy you have toward that girl, you need to let it go. We're grown as fuck."
"Jealous of Chosyn? Yeah right. That orphan bitch doesn't have shit I want. I don't like her and never will. If anyone isjealous,it's you."
"What do I have to be jealous of?" I scoffed in disbelief.
"I mean, Crown was fucking with me until?—"
I wasn't even trying to be disrespectful, but the laugh that ripped through me was out of my control.
"Fucking with youis a stretch. That nigga fucked you. He wasn't your man."
"Doesn't matter. I had him first."
"Where was this animosity when I came to you asking about the situation between you and him? You told me then it was nothing serious, and you didn't care if I fucked him. Now you're mad like I stole him from you."
