Tyler needed to step out for a moment. Staying in the house was driving him fucking crazy, so he had to come up with a lie. Telling Xerxes that he had to meet a few people about a website he was designing. Finally, after a good three hours, he was on his way back home. As he approached the main gates, Tyler noticed a car sitting on the side of the road.

Tyler first thought this had to be some fucking reporters. The assholes had been camping outside the gates for some days now after getting wind that Xerxes's best friend had gotten married. Also, the fact of Gen getting shot on Kohler's grounds. It was the talk of every news channel in Germany, and the shit just happened a few hours ago. Ty swore someone within the family was talking to the reporters.

Sighing, he pulled his car over behind the unknown car as he put it in park and stepping out, walking up to the car in front of him. Gently he knocked on the window, waiting for the person to roll down the window or step out of the car. Without know who was on the other side, Ty kept his hand on his gun, ready to shoot. The only thing was he didn't have the time to do shit once he saw his cousin's face. His face was the last thing he saw before hearing the gun, then seeing darkness, and after Noah pull the trigger, Tyler. He turned it on himself.

Xerxes and Riley were still sitting in the living room but now with the rest of the family. All of their parents were somewhere getting fucking high like some teenagers. While the others talked, X studied them and watched them. This was his way of reading them, something that his father taught him.

"Farrah, tell me something. Why you and Zion keep disappearing together?" Leah said, glaring at her brother. Farrah choked of her drink, looking at Leah like she lost her mind.

"Yeah, Jamon, why don't you tell the whole room how you been banging my sister for what the last four years off and on," Zion said, making X and Riley look at each other.

"Why the fuck are yall acting like children? Shit, I've been knowing about Leah and Jamon every time we went the States, they would go missing, and who cares if Farrah and Zion are fucking because I don't," Xerxes said, making Riley and Maddy laugh.

"Is it okay if we sit with yall?" Melody asked, walking in with Valentino behind her. It was the first time in three days since that all saw her. The good thing there were no new bruises.

"I mean, you are still our sister, our family, so we're not going to turn you away," Talia said, looking over at Xerxes, who nodded while never taking his eyes off Melody. She quickly looked down at the floor as Valentino touched her shoulders, gently whispering something into her ear.

"Sit Mel... I don't feel like arguing with your stupid ass today."

"X why I got to be stupid and shit?"

"Because your dumb-ass is. I know I did wrong, Mel, and I regret putting my hands on my wife. But do you think I wanted to see my sister go through that fucking shit? Dad and Mom especially taught you how to protect yourself, and you let this muthafucker beat you like you was shit and probably rap...."

"WOAH... back up, I didn't rape anybody. I admit I hit your sister, but she gave up the goods on her own. If she would have told me no, I would have stopped." Valentino said, making Elijah glare at Melody shaking his head.

"Eli, come on, Mel, haven't had any in what two and a half years? Shit, somebody showed me a dick. I would be jumping on it too." Aria said, laughing, making all of them groan.

"It wasn't even like that, Aria. Plus, your ass a whole hoe, shit if Keandre showed you his dick, you would jump on it."

"Shit, forreal, let's check that theor...."
