too.”
                  Sasha giggled. “Shawn would kill me, so I’ma just keep looking.”
                  “OK, if you change your mind, just let me know.”
                  Jeanette laughed. “That liquor must be kicking in. You know Shawn would blow that club up. You’re trying to have that man in jail somewhere.”
                  Erin raised her eyebrows. “Speaking of jail-.”
                  “Aw, shit.” Sasha mumbled.
                  Erin continued. “You’re not still putting money on Kory’s books are you?”
                  Jeanette drank her wine down, and gave Erin a black stare. “Yes, I am.”
                  Erin sighed. “Why?”
                  Skyy grabbed the Grey Goose bottle shaking her head.
                  Jeanette rolled her eyes. “Because he’s my child’s father. I’m not about to just leave him high and dry Erin. People do work through their problems, everybody don’t just run like you.” She began pouring another drink.
                  Sasha looked from Erin to Jeanette, prepared to break up a fight she knew was sure to come.
                  Erin smiled unbothered. “I don’t run I just have the strength to walk away, and the common sense to know when enough is enough.”
                  Jeanette felt her body getting hot. “So you’re saying I’m weak?”
                  Erin gave her a hard stare. “No. I’m saying apparently common sense ain’t so common.”
                  Sasha had heard enough. “Ok, stop.”
                  Skyy gave her two cents. “Erin that’s uncalled for, if she loves him let her be. You so quick to tell people what it is they should be doing. Ain’t nobody perfect.”
                  Jeanette put her hand up. “Naw Sash, Skyy, Erin obviously got something on her chest, let her get it off.”
                  Erin took a deep breath and exhaled. “Did you forget why he was in jail?”
                  Jeanette shook her head no.
                  Erin continued. “He’s constantly putting his hands on you and shit. Had you lain out in a hospital bed with a fuckin’ concussion, and you’re putting money on the nigga books. You always calling somebody or something “sad”, but the sad truth is you need to stop fucking with him Jeanette. You’re my best friend, fuck that, my sister and I’m just trying to look out for you. I hate to come off brash, but it is what it is. I’d expect for you to be straight up with me too.”
                  Jeanette knew Erin was a little more than tipsy feeling herself so she spoke calmly. “I can’t do nothing but respect that Erin, but respect my decision to forgive and move on.”
                  Jeanette could feel herself tearing up. Leave it up to Erin to air out her dirty laundry and make her feel like shit. She knew Erin didn’t mean any harm she was just being a friend, but her words cut deep. Erin had been at the hospital twice, sometimes three times a day when Kory hospitalized her during their last argument. Her and her six year old son Kory Jr. even stayed with Erin during her three week recovery.
                  Jeanette was the lover of the group. She was caring and always went out her way to help others. Yet she had a firm demeanor, and spoke her mind no matter the situation. She didn’t start no shit, but she didn’t take none either. She always carried a strong opinion that made her seem judgmental at times. She was forgiving, and kind, but when it was time to stand up for her or what she believed in, she was beastly.
                  Jeanette grabbed the bottle off the table and refilled her cup. She respected Erin’s opinion, but it seemed like Erin never respected her reason. “Erin,
