New Year's Kiss

It was just a day away from the new year, and by the looks of it wasn't planning on doing anything. It was traditional for us to be in church to bring the year in, but no one wanted to go. I couldn't bring myself to church without my grandma, so I was lying in bed. It was close to 1 pm, and I was bored out of my mind.

Sighing, "Abba, forgive us."

Turning on my stomach, I pulled my phone off the charger and began to scroll on Instagram when Cari's name popped on my screen. I sent a quick prayer to God that everything was okay before I answered the call.

"Hello!" I sang into the phone, "How many I will be of service?"

"Bitch, you wouldn't guess what just happened to me!" She exclaimed into the speaker.

I immediately pulled the phone back, feeling the damage already setting in, "What, girl?! What happened?!"

"I'm performing tonight at the Revel Lounge!"

"Revel Lounge?" I asked, shifting to lie on my back.

"Yes! Revel Lounge."
