chapter 62
Four days later, Kelley is caring for herself alone, having a crib in Philadelphia. Perhaps she could do better to get her stuff done whenever she had to step up in the same direction. The rest of her friends got the message. Kelley is already reuniting her family, so it doesn't feel like the same connection to each other a bit. She would do it in her way for a while to get everything settled; she doesn't care if she is staying in Philly because she has already bought her place.
Meanwhile, Lucy arrived in Chinatown on the spot after she got out of the cab. She began to walk around, going through each shopping bag to get something for a gift, getting a little piece in each bag. Paris took over Chinatown. This time, she helped people stand up on the streets from the corner, including the kids and brought them to the martial arts, gym, and market.
Lucy: *walks over to Paris* You must be Paris?
Paris: You know what I am?
Lucy: Everybody knows you.
Paris: You want to do some work?
Lucy: Maybe sooner or later. I've brought the gift myself; today is my birthday.
Paris: Oh, happy birthday.
Lucy: Thanks! You looked familiar.
Paris: I do?
Lucy: One of my friends who is to look like, but close enough.
Paris: *looks at her*
Lucy: I'll see you again. *looks at her while leaving*
Paris: Come back when you feel free.
Caroline left the house and went to the car with Selena; she didn't expect to work together on a dirty secret after Caroline acted like an average person to Franklin when she kissed her other boyfriend once he tried to bail her out.
Selena: I like the way you spoke to the boy last night. Positive attitude, saying things to your different personalities-
Caroline: I don't care, Selena. Just drive.
Selena: *drives away*
Polly and Jessie hang out in the apartment. Jessie comes to her apartment to cook lunch with grilled cheese on the plate while Polly sits on the couch watching a movie on DVD.
Jessie: Here you go, Ms. Polly. *gives the food to her*
Polly: You don't have to think of me, don't call me miss. *smiles softly*
Jessie: I'm just joking; what's the big deal?
Polly: Don't make me weak.
Jessie: Eat it before it turns you into cold food.
Polly: *hearing and eating it*
Jessie: What is this?
Polly: The International.
Jessie: *hearing*
*Wilmington, DE*
Poe: *texting on the phone while chilling on the porch until he sees Celia come over and recognizes her* I know you were following me around after you looked at our neighborhood.
Ceila: It's a long story; I was born here. It changed differently.
Poe: Not this time.
Ceila: Bad?
Poe: Naughty. I wasn't stubborn; these streets are still way at it. The good news is I've put myself in places like school, work, and bank. I didn't do anything for the bank that much.
Ceila: It had to keep more privacy or grinding or something.
Poe: *hearing*
Ceila: I need to get my life together fast, or I'll lose my patience.
Poe: Cigarette? *shows her with the cigarette*
Ceila: *grabs it and doing smoking*
Poe: *watching her*
Meanwhile, Kelley leaves the corner store to get the soda can. She begins to drink it while standing there to give herself enough time to come for her plan. She starts walking off around the street and walks on the sidewalk until the car pulls over right in front of Kelley; Caroline gets out of the vehicle.
Caroline: Sorry to make any excuses.
Kelley: It's fine.
Caroline: I need some advice from you.
Kelley: *hearing*
Caroline: Hear me out; I won't harsh you. Would you prefer anything you need to join our team for the dark side? Our rules involve taking place throughout the entire town to make everyone sacrifice. A lot of people are dying from the past. We won't give up on our own.
Kelley: *hearing*
Caroline: Any requests?
Kelley: It looks fake to me—why must I be a bad girl by myself?
Caroline: *hearing*
Kelley: Do you think, honestly, if I want to feel guilty before I have you, I can't accept it? Maybe you thought wrong; I thought correctly. I hope Selena will surround me; she knows what has happened poorly and won't hold me down in the future. She can't beat me.
Caroline: *looks at her*
Kelley: My organization is always open. *walks away*
Caroline: *looks at her*
*Later that night - Philadelphia, PA*
Kate drove around the corner of the fitness building, seeing Zena doing her job to give anyone drugs cause every time she looked at each person doing the same thing for drug activities, whether she'd done it before. She continues to drive away on the way home.
The next day, some of the neighborhood is having a block party. It is sunny and cloudy throughout today's heat index, so people who feel more energy are likely hanging outside the most. Brad is dropping Teddy off for the party, as his friends have already invited him.
Meanwhile, during the party, Francisco and Josette have sex in the house together as they are coming out of the party soon; the two of them enjoy themselves first to give credit for having sex in the bed, going through over several minutes until they take a breath.
Francisco: I need to lay myself down for a minute.
Josette: *sighs and gets up to bed* Take a minute.
Bryan: *deep moaning while riding with Susanna from outside alone*
Susanna: *feels it and holds on tight*
Bryan: *keeps pounding her a bunch of times*
Susanna: *moaning quietly and feeling she doesn't care* OK. I had enough.
Bryan: *finished*
Susanna: Thanks for the tip, asshole. *leaving*
Bryan: *looks at her*
Diana: *drinking with the cup*
Susanna: Diana? *walks over to her* Have you been drunk?
Diana: It's a peach iced tea. What does it look like?
Susanna: *looking at the cup* That's fine with it. You won't lose your health.
Diana: *hearing*
Susanna: Listen, the party is still hooking up.
Diana: *smiles and keeps drinking*
Susanna: I've already talked to some dude, and he gets out of my nerves already.
Diana: I told you, girl.
Malik: *walking past them and walks over to Joselyn* Joselyn.
Joselyn: *turns around and sees him* Malik, hi! *hugs him*
Malik: What's up, girl? *hugs her back* How's your career?
Joselyn: It's alright. It's not that bad from upside down.
Malik: Cool, as long as you are going uphill ahead.
Joselyn: Yeah. *nods softly*
Harry: *chilling at the party, sees Malik a little further, and goes over to him* Nephew?
Malik: *turns around and sees him* What's up?
Harry: I ain't see you a lot in the minute.
Malik: Yeah. But it's tough. Way tough. My dad is gone; I have to worry about him no more.
Harry: Pretty much as he did to his disturbing shit from the past. He learned so much when we grew.
Malik: *hearing*
Harry: I've been staying with my friends for months; we already talked to each other on the phone. I knew you were pretty busy.
Malik: I don't have enough time to contact my family; I'm doing crazy things in Philly. That's fine with me.
Harry: *hearing* You're not a kid anymore; be thoughtful, dog.
Malik: *looks at him*
Poe: *looks at Malik and Harry*
Paris: Poe, are you alright?
Poe: Yeah.
Paris: You've been worried.
Poe: That's my friend's uncle. He wouldn't believe him that much, he might. He should've talked more than his uncle.
Paris: I know Harry very well. Miller and the rest of the family compare well, as much as I heard Miller betrayed.
Poe: That was the old days. *drinking the cup*
Paris: I can appreciate you when it comes to him.
Poe: *hearing*
Paris: He knows and learned everything for us.
Mailk and Harry: *still confronting with each other*
Later that night, Willard returns to his hometown. When he drives to his place while Mariah and Lola chill from outside the neighborhood, confronting local people, they see the car parked there, and Willard gets out of the car, taking his stuff out as well.
Lola: Hold up? How did you get back a little early? You were supposed to be out for a couple of months.
Willard: I was; time has changed slightly too closely over the past few months.
Lola: Like, I don't understand.
Willard: My thing, just getting done a little early.
Mariah: *looks at them*
Lola: What were you supposed to do now?
Willard: I had to go somewhere in the morning.
Lola: Good luck to you. *walks away*
Willard: Be careful when you are out here. *opens the door with the key*
