Chapter 23: 'Friends'*

“The party's here!” Bea yelled as she and Mona walked into the house.

“AHHH!” Sasha yelled running to hug them.

“Congrats Shibbz.” Bea said hugging her.

“Thanks Bea!” Shelby said with a smile on her face.

“Shibbz and Lulu.” Mona said giving her a hug.

“Yup.” Shelby said showing off the ring.

“Here, Izzy. Take this shit and put it somewhere cold.” Bea said handing Izzy her bag of liquor.

“Yup.” Izzy said rolling his eyes as he walked away.

“Shellie!!!!” Heather yelled as Shelby walked over to her, Anna, Nhung, and Ebony.

“Hey guys. Glad you could make it.” Shelby said as Anna took her hand and looked at the ring.

“Where is he?” She asked looking at Shelby with a smile.

“Umm...Lulu!” Shelby said as he walked over to them. “This is him.” Shelby said looking at her friends. “Lu, this is Anna, Ebony, Nhung, and Heather.”

“Sup.” Lulu said as Shelby took his hand.

“Awww....ain't he..?” Ebony asked with a sly smile.

“Yup.” Shelby replied smiling.

“He's a cutie.” Anna said looking Lulu up and down.

“ Thanks.” Lulu said as Liz pulled him and Shelby away.

“Yes Liz?” Shelby asked as the music started to play.

“They're here.” She said as Shelby turned her attention toward the front door.

There stood Monica, Lola, and Tiffany.

“Are you serious!?” Shelby asked annoyed.

“I'll go kick them out. I swear I will! And I just might kick their asses too.” Liz suggested as Shelby took Lulu's hand and stomped over to the door.

“Can I help you?” Shelby asked rudely looking at Monica.

“Congrats Shibbz.” She replied trying to give Shelby a hug.

“What'd you bring?” Liz asked looking the 3 girls up and down.

“Shibb's favorite.” Monica replied giving Shelby the bag. She quickly looked in it and walked away. Liz gave them a stank look and followed Shelby into the kitchen.

“So what are we gonna do?” She asked as Shelby put the drinks in the freezer.

“I don't know yet.” Shelby asked not looking at Liz.

“Wow.” Liz said walking away.

Shelby rolled her eyes and looked up and seen Lola standing there. “Yes?”

“You and Lulu, huh?”

“Yes, me and Lulu.”

“Do you really think that's gonna work?” Lola asked grabbing a beer.

“Why do you care? I don't even like you.” Shelby replied.

“I don't care. I actually can't wait for him to leave you.”

“He's not going to leave me. Unlike all the guy's you've been with, Lulu loves me and he's not going anywhere anytime soon.”

“Oh really? Is that why he hooked up with Monica? Bet you didn't know that one.”

“Actually you dumb slore, I did know that. So many before you try and break me and Lulu apart you should see what I already know. It will save you a lot of breath, and save me from smelling it.” Shelby said with a smile before she walked away.

“Eww.” Tiffany said walking past Liz.

“What did you just say?” Liz asked, as Sasha, Mona, Nellz, and Bea turned their heads to see what was about to happen.

“I said 'Eww'. What are you gonna do about it?” Tiffany asked looking at Liz.

“Why don't you say that to me face!?” Liz yelled taking out her earrings, and handing them to Sasha. Then she took off the necklace that her nana gave her and stepped toward Tiffany.

“Lu.” Shelby said rushing toward Liz and Tiffany, Lulu following her.

Tiffany walked up to Liz, got in her face and said, “Ewww.”

Drew, Keith, Ace, Izzy and Ruga all walked over before Liz pushed Tiffany's head backwards. Tiffany bounced back, and sent her fist right toward Liz's head. Liz stumpled backwards and quickly threw 2 punches to both sides of Tiffany's head. She quickly recovered and pushed Liz back into Lola, sending them both to the ground. She then quickly jumped on top of Liz and started to scratch her face, while Lola threw a few shots.

“Oh hell no!” Shelby said quickly pushing Tiffany off of Liz, as Sasha pulled Lola away.

“You need your bitches to help you!” Lola yelled.

“Did you just call me a bitch? I stab bitches wimpier than you!” Sasha yelled punching Lola.

Shelby got on top of Tiffany and started to scratch her face, making her bleed. She smiled, got up and looked satisfied. “Bitch.” Shelby said spitting on her.

“Shibb.” Lulu said pulling her into a hug.

“I'm fine.” Shelby said looking around the room for Liz.

“That fucking bitch! How fucking cowardly can you fucking be!? She purposely pushed me into fucking Lola, just so they both could try and fucking attack like a pack of fucking dogs!” Liz yelled.

Shelby realized they had gone in the kitchen, and quickly pulled Lulu into that direction. “You okay?” She asked looking at her nails.

“I'm fine, just a busted lip.” Liz said licking to blood off her lip.

“I knew you would be.” Shelby replied washing her hands. She had to get the blood off.

“Those stupid dumb bitches.” Sasha said walking into the kitchen.

“LUISTOO!” Monica yelled stomping into the kitchen.

“What?” Shelby asked turning to look at her.

“Is your name Luisto? Just because you're sucking his dick doesn't mean you can answer for him.” Monica said.

“He's going to be my husband.”

“And? He's gonna leave you once he gets sick of the sex. Anyways, what the fuck just happened? Lola has a black eye, busted lip, and is bleeding. And Tiffany's face is all fucked up.”

“Maybe your bitches shouldn't have messed with us.” Liz said standing up.

“First off, yall have had beef for years? Now all of a sudden since you have your skank hoes behind you you want to start something? What kind of fucked up shit is that Liz? You can't kick Tiffany's ass on your own?” Monica asked walking over to Liz.

“Back the fuck off and get the fuck out. We never invited you here. Just because David's here doesn't mean you can be too.” Shelby said stepping in between Liz and Monica.

David walked in the kitchen and seen the girls at each others throat. “What's going on?”

“They fucked up my friends!” Monica wined.

“Get her and her skanks out!” Shelby yelled, her cheeks turning pink.

“Shibb, lets just go in the other room.” Lulu suggested.

“I'm not going anywhere until these bitches leave out house!” She replied staring at Monica.

“And what are you going to do when we don't leave?”

“I'll kick your ass just liked I kicked Tiffany's.” Shelby replied stepping closer to Monica.

“You could never kick my ass, even if you tried Shelby.”

“And why's that? You're not going to scare me away with your looks. Although that sure as hell are scary!” Shelby replied, getting about 2 inches from Monica.

“It has nothing to do with my looks, and everything to do with the simple fact that I could kick your ass.” Monica said as Lulu looked at David for help.

Shelby started to breath heavier, and her eyes started to sharper. Monica was getting under her skin, and it was obvious. Her cheek were pink. And her hands were in fists. She was starting to lose her cool, and it was happening fast.

“Oh, nothing left to say?” Monica asked. Before Monica could say anything thing else, Shelby quickly threw a punch at Monica and sent her back into David. Once she recovered she lunged at Shelby and threw her against the kitchen table. Shelby kicked Monica in the jaw and sent her to the ground, then jumped on top of her and started to scratch at her face.

“Go Shibb!” Liz yelled with a smile on her face.

“Liz! David! Grab Monica!” Lulu yelled trying to pull Shelby off of her. He was unsuccessful, until Denny stepped next to him and helped. They got Shelby up off of Monica and lifted her off the ground.

“Get the fuck out of my house you fucking bitch!” Shelby yelled kicking her feet.

“This isn't the last you'll see of me you fucking psycho bitch!” Monica yelled walking out of the kitchen, with her hand against her jaw.

“You're taking your anger out on Monica. You need to stop.” Denny said letting go of Shelby, and pushing her into a chair.

“I don't need to do anything. She tried to ruin my fucking party.”

“The world doesn't revolve around you Shelby. All she was fucking doing was trying to protect her friends. Same shit you did with Liz.”

“No! She was trying to cause problems like she usually does!” Shelby yelled, getting annoyed with Denny. She hated when he treated her like a child. Just because he was her older cousin, didn't mean he had the right to boss her around.

“I understand that she's slept with Lulu, but you can't take your anger out on him. You're angry with Briana, not Monica. Take your anger out on her, not Monica.”

“You're fucking pissing me off Dennis!” Shelby yelled, using his real name.

“Then I'll just leave!”

“Good! I never wanted you here anyways!” Shelby yelled crossing her arms. She didn't mean it, but she said it out of anger. Out of rage.

“I wish you were here.” Bre said on the phone.

“I wish I was there too.” Dan replied.

“I need you now more than ever.”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, I lost Shelby. She's mad at me beyond belief and I don't think this can be fixed.”

“What happened?”

“I don't even know.” Briana lied.

“There has to be a reason why she's mad at you. I know she's a bitch, but I don't see her being mad at you without there being a reason.” Dan said as there was a knock on the door.

“I'll call you back.” Bre hung up the phone and Jill walked in.

“Your Twin just got into two fights, and you missed both of them.”

“What do you want? I know that you're the one who told Daniel about me and Lulu. You're the reason my life is over.”

“Dramatic much?” Jill said sitting at the edge of Briana's bed.

“Oh shut up!” Bre said looking at her phone.

“So that baby really is Lulu's?” Jill asked looking over at Bre.

“Not by choice.”

“Why'd you sleep with him?”

“Because I was drunk.”

“No you weren't. I was there that night and all you had was some water.”

“I was drinking shots. You probably weren't paying attention.”

“Listen kid, I seen you. I seen you at the bar flirting with Lulu. Passing him shots. Why Lulu? Why didn't you pick him?” Jill asked with a smile on her face.

“I didn't seduce Lulu if that's what you're trying to get at. I was drunk. He was drunk. That's the only way we would ever sleep together.”

“Keep living in denial Briana. I know what I saw.” Jill said standing up.

“You gonna go and tell Daniel that I purposely hooked up with Lulu? Gonna go and tell Shelby? Cause she won't believe you. I've never liked Lulu, or at least she never knew.” Bre said with a devilish smile on her face.

“So you admit that you purposely hooked up with Lulu?”

“Lets just say, he's better off without Shelby. He's better off with me.” Briana said as Jill left the room.

“She's going to regret what she did. That sonofabitch is going to regret that she ever put her hands on me!” Monica said as she paced in the drive way.

“What are you going to do Nikki?” Lola asked looking up at her.

“I'm going to make her pay. Make her wish she never got with Lulu in the first place.”

“Are you going to try and get with him?” Tiffany asked.

“Aha. As if. I'm going to do something better. Something more diabolical. Something that will make her regret it for the rest of her sorry pathetic life.” Monica said as a smile grew in the corner of her mouth.
