"She doesn't want anything Jay." Ben said coming to sit the plate of food I made Jonnie on the counter. It's been a minute since Justice and Denim's death. We laid the to rest about 2 weeks ago. Man, when I tell you Ben and Jonnie took this shit hard. Even Denim's side, the shit had everybody in tears. But it was so beautiful. It made me feel better knowing they didn't leave this earth alone, they had each other. They got laid to rest together, they'll never be alone.

As for Khalil, he obviously pleaded guilty for the death of Justice and Denim. His sentencing would be next week. I don't know if Ben or Jonnie would go, they didn't go to see his trial.

"Well she needs to eat something Ben." He shook his head banging his fist on my counter.

"Fuck! I miss my baby!"

"I know.......but you need to stop punching things. You already broke your hand." He sighed.

"I know this shit is just hard....."

"How about this, you and Jonnie just go out and enjoy yourselves."

"I already tried that, she don't wanna go anywhere." Then she came out the room.

"Hey sis....." She looked at me with a small smile. Her eyes drifted to Journey who I was holding while she slept.

"What's mine is yours too." She reached for her and I carefully laid her in the arms of my sister.

She smiled before kissing her cheek. She went back in the room she was staying at. I was allowing her to stay here because she didn't want to go back to LA. She would be all alone, she was so use to having her kids their with her. She said it's just too many memories. Which I understand, so she planned to move and so I was going to let her stay here until she did.

"I'll be back Jay." Ben said and I nodded. He left out the house making me sigh. I put both of my hands over my face starting to cry. I haven't got a chance to let the hurt go for myself, I've been so worried about everybody/thing else. I missed my nieces too. I literally watched Justice be brought into this world. Shit, she was my baby before Jalyn and the twins.

"Beautiful- what's wrong with you mamas?" I shook my head wiping away my tears before looking up at Kentrell.

"Nothing I'm fine."

"No you a lie, what's wrong?"

"I just miss them, that's all and I hate to see Jonnie hurt like that and I don't know how to help her. I mean I couldn't imagine losing one of my children."

"Look it's ok to be hurt, who wouldn't be? But honestly we don't need this negative energy." I raised an eyebrow at him.

"Wait! Before you cuss me out! I mean we need to uplift her, not only her but Ben. If she sees us sad that's not gonna help anybody move on. It's gonna dig that hole deeper and somebody else is gonna end up dying." I nodded understanding what he was trying to say.
