Breaking that silence seconds later, Samiyah wagged her finger at Eli. “Back to you, don’t you turn into no Dirty Bird jersey wearing ATLien when you go, no. This is still home.”
“Never. I might be going to the land of 404 but I’m 504 wherever I be, beleed dat.”
They shared a laugh and then Samiyah went solemn. “It really feels like these are the last days of us just kicking it as a clique.”
“Well, Yuri and I aren’t going anywhere so you’ll always have me,” Minnie assured her.
“Awwww,” Samiyah pooched out her bottom lip and gave off sad eyes.
“Hold up. I got something I wanna do. Be right back,” Elias skirted off inside of the building, returning minutes later with some beverages.
“What’s this for?” Minnie questioned as she took the long neck bottle from him.
“Shit felt worthy of a toast of sorts, so here it is.” Elias raised his cup of Crown into the air. Minnie and Samiyah followed suit, lifting their wine coolers as well. “To an unbreakable friendship that knows no boundaries, you dig.”
“Here, here.” Both ladies chorused as they all touched each other’s drinks to commemorate a bond that was too strong to ever be broken.
Many years later…
Elias and Blu earned the James Beard award for having the best New Orleans’ cuisine dishes out of East Atlanta. And although there’s no place like home, they are happily living in the city of Buckhead with their one and only child.
Minnie and Yuriah were unsuccessful with conceiving on their own despite their costly efforts with IVR treatment. However, they will be welcoming a baby boy once the adoption papers are finalized.
Samiyah and Cedric have expanded their family. After their wedding, they were surprised to welcome yet another daughter. They named her Amani. She has since tied her tubes to prevent anymore baby bombshells from happening.
Gerran is currently dating but hasn’t remarried. And he has no plans to. Also, he hasn’t missed a Friday dinner with his blended family, yet.
Tracie decided to make Baton Rouge her permanent home after she was released from jail. Her testimony against G’Corey Sr. set her free to raise G’Corey Jr. She vowed to never love another more than her son.
Kawanna obtained her associates degree in counseling and is now a certified counselor at the Sweet Haven’s Women’s Center. She is currently dating herself until a single man comes along.
Reds became a permanent fixture on The New York’s Best Seller’s list and remains domiciled in The Big Easy, raising her son around his father’s family.
Kanari is thriving as the new owner of The Bar at Aqua Blu. She, also, stopped denying her attraction to Jacobi. They’re dating and her celibacy streak is over.
Kamal and Shenae opened a non-profit after school/summer camp in the 3rd ward named: The MLJ Community Center after three brothers. In an effort to atone for the sinful lives they’ve led in the past while creating a legacy worth leaving behind for Kareem McMillan, Yuriah LeBlanc and Kamal Jones.

Author’s Note
Hi _______________ (insert name here)
Life when lived is the greatest story ever told. Had it not been for all of my best and worst days along with the best and worst people I’ve met, I wouldn’t have a story to tell.
Now on a more serious note, a man who has played an instrumental part in my life has ascended.
When writing was just a hobby, he believed I would do great things with it one day. And I just want to say thank you for everything, good and bad. Regardless to the storms we endured and even the ones that swallowed us up, I was blessed the day I met you and I’ll always respect our rainy days, they made me.
R.I.P., 9th Ward Black.
Earth was hell for you. So, I’m happy you were returned to The Most High. May your soul be at peace, black man.
And to my readers, those that really support me in sisterhood and in my art…
Merci Beaucoup,
Coffee
