Concord Manor

When I jumped out the cab and made it to Concord Manor I knew something was up. After beating the case in court against Diamond, I was hoping things would start looking up for me. But something told me before I even walked into my house that things wouldn’t be the same.

When I opened the door, the house was cluttered and there were boxes everywhere. Going up the stairway, I looked in Jayden and Madjesty’s rooms and neither of them were there. Figures. Outside of clothes on the beds, things looked pretty normal. When I finally made it to my room, the door was open and it smelled like a perfume I didn’t own. Something was out of place. All of my stuff was off the dresser and packed in boxes next to the window. When I walked up to the closet my clothes were replaced with clothes I didn’t recognize.

“What the fuck?!” I said out loud, sliding the hangers to the side.

“Yeah. What the fuck.” My sister Ramona said entering my room folding her arms.
I turned around to see her standing in the doorway. She took a few steps closer to me.
“Whose shit is this in my closet?” I asked.
“Mine.”
I stepped closer. “Why did you move my shit out of my closet?!”
She smiled. “Because I’m taking over this room that’s why.”
“Over my dead body!”
“If that’s how you want it.”
“What the fuck as gotten into you? You don’t come into a person’s house and fuck with their shit.”
“You have been nothing but rude to my mother and my sister since we got here. And I’m tired of you. It’s time to bust you down a notch and I can’t wait to do it.”
“And how do you intend on doing that?”
“By taking this house.”
Silence.
“I like to see you try. Your mother turned this house over to me a long time ago.”
I reached for my cordless phone before realizing it wasn’t in my room. So I moved to Jayden’s room and sure enough the phone was there. She was right behind me.
“Who are you calling?”
“The police!” I said preparing to dial the number. “I want you and your sister out of here.”
“Put down the phone, Harmony. Don’t make shit worse than it has to be.”
“What are you talking about?”
“You were caught fucking a kid in front of your house and they caught up with him. I'm sure once you go to court for that,” she said taking an envelope out of her back pocket from the courthouse and handing it to me, “that you’ll have to register as a sex offender.”
“That don’t got shit to do with you trying to kick me out of my own house.”
“It will have a lot to do with it. Because it’ll mean you can’t stay here. If things go as planned.” She laughed. “You won’t be able to be around your own daughters.”
I examined the courthouse paper and realized it was authentic. After all, I’d seen enough of them to know.
“Bitch, I don’t give a fuck about this. I’ll kick both of them kids out before I move out of my own house.” I laughed. “They can stay with their fathers.” I paused throwing the envelope on Jayden’s bed. “Anyway, your mother transferred this house to me. She’ll vouch for me. She said it.”
“No she won’t.” She laughed.
“And why is that?”
“Because mother is dead.”

SUGAR
ATTACK

The living room was full of weed smoke in Ursula’s apartment. Sugar and Glitter grew up together so Ursula considered her to be family and didn’t mind when she requested to come over and talk, even though she buried her daughter.

They were sitting on the sofa blowing smoke into the air talking about the good times when Glitter was alive. “You know Glitter loved you a lot don’t you, Sugar?” Ursula said. “She always told me that.”
