various things on The Fuckit List, and she was sure that there would be plenty more things to come. In short, it was a list that was filled up with the things that made a lady say fuck it.
She grabbed Snowflake’s head and pulled it towards the ground like a pelican. Then after she instructed Meatloaf to hold her in that position, she did the same thing to Skye. Quickly and without a second thought; she fired a bullet hole into the back of both of their scalps, leaving them slumped over in the dirt.
For the first time since making his acquaintance, she saw a smile briefly caress the cheeks of Grimmer. The smile quickly faded away, and his rough exterior came back as soon as it left. She stood there staring at the bodies on the ground and felt sorry that she had to do that to her friend, but The FuckitList was powerful. She was sure that there would be a lot more material added onto that list. She handed the gun back and grabbed Danielle’s arm lightly. “Let’s go back in the house, we were having a good ass conversation.”

Milan was sitting in the car laughing at herself when she saw Lena running out of the pawn shop carrying a bag and a gun. She watched Lena run all the way up to the car door, waited until she put her hand on the door handle, and then hit the electric locks, locking all doors. Lena gave the door handle a tug, and when realizing that it was locked, she tapped the window forcefully with her fist. Milan unlocked it, waited on Lena to reach for it again, and locked it back.
“Mommy!! Stop playing!!!” Lena screamed as she continued hitting on the window.
Milan started to laugh uncontrollably. “ Hahahahahaha ! Ahhhh hahahahaha !” She was on a high unlike any high that she had ever experienced. She was on PCP, weed, a line of coke, and was considering going to grab some meth after she left the robbery scene. She was beyond delusional, and her controlled recreational drugs had become uncontrollable highs.
Finally, when she saw a tear rolling down Lena’s face, she unlocked the door and opened it for her to get in. When Lena jumped into the car, Milan smiled at her briefly, and went straight to sleep.
Lena panicked. There was a huge crowd gathered outside and standing around the vehicle. She heard sirens in the distance. She knew from what her mommy told her about robbery, that if the police was to catch them; to never tell on anybody no matter what they say. She knew that if the police caught them, that they would both be going to prison for years. She didn’t care, as long as she got a chance to be with her mommy when she was released.
Lena knew that she could do the time in prison with no problem, but she also remembered the things that her mommy had told her about dodging prison by any means. She knew for a fact that she wouldn’t be able to just sit in that car for long. She also remembered the phrase that her mommy always told her to repeat. I am The Lipstick Clique. I don’t need anyone else with me to become and remain that. All I have to do is get to the money. She stared at her mommy sleeping, and thought to herself, man my mommy is really tired .
Milan laid there peacefully as if she was in the comfort of her own bed. She was leaning back against the seat snoring, with her lips slightly parted. There was cocaine residue on her steering wheel, and the last of the weed and PCP was burned down to a roach. Lena took the money that her mommy had told her to get and placed it in Milan’s lap. “I’m sorry I wasn’t able to get the guns as well, but next time I’ll make sure I have everything you ask for. For right now, I’ll let you keep my gun mommy… I love you so much!”
She sat her gun down in Milan’s lap next to the money and took off running. Her cheap sneakers slapped against the pavement and bounced back up like a basketball as she made an effort to escape the crime scene. As a young child, she didn’t
