Joy sat in Erael's room as they stared at each other.
After the 'Erin Incident' , Joy avoided Erael until Erael asked to meet up with her.
"It's four and I have to be home by six". Joy broke the silence
Erael sighed, "I'm sorry and I know you heard this so many times but I am. I haven't been a good friend since the day we began this friendship and it's unfair to you. If you don't forgive me, it's oka-". Joy cut her off
"I'm not gonna be a hypocrite and let you feel bad alone." Joy started off
She sighed, "I became friends with you for the sake of status and that was wrong as hell for me to do so I'm sorry". Erael sobbed quietly making Joy's roll eyes
Erael sniffled, "It's honestly fine. We did each other wrong and apologized, it's fine.Can we start over and actually be friends?". Joy smiled

"Mama, I'm out", Joy informed her mother
Jolene scoffed, "To where?". Joy rolled her eyes
"A party mama. I'mma be home by atleast 12 am"
After she and Erael spoke, Joy was informed about a party was being thrown that night and Joy decided she wanted to go.
Erael was already waiting for her outside and all Joy needed to do is get through her mother.
Even though her and Erael were not exactly friends anymore, they'd already been attached to each other to just leave each other alone.
A bottle was thrown her way by Jolene and she quickly dodged it , "Bitch, what the fuck is wrong witchu". Joy yelled looking at the broken bottle
Jolene burped , "I ain't mean to throw it, I swear". She slurred
Joy shook her head at her mother. Walking over to where her mother was, she leaned over and kissed her forehead, "I'mma see you later". And she walked out getring into Erael's car
"What took you long?", Erael began to drive
Joy sighed, "Mama actin' a fool".
Erael knew about Joy's mother being a drunk and knew how she acted under the influence, she'd never seen her sober.
"When last you seen yo mom sober", Erael asked making a turn
Joy thought about it, "Honestly when I was 14. I feel like she wakes up drunk now". Joy shrugged
Erael shook her head, "Damn. Yo mom must love the bottle more than you". Erael said snarkly
Joy knew Erael for being shady and if anything, Joy will always have something to say.
Joy laughed, "Okay, that's funny. Now where's your mom"
