Usually, I lay back and let y'all talk to each other in the comments and what not. Shit, sometimes I'll even talk to y'all myself. But AYE 😂 stop coming for my stinks Kali & Zo 🙄.

Nah, on some real shit though Kali single as hell & August LEFT she had every right to move on to whoever, especially if Alonzo was the only one to help her cope without her brother. I'd love that nigga too, all I'ma say. But then again, some of these chapters are pre-written so you guys don't know the reasoning behind everything so it's fair to assume and shit.

And Kali shouldn't have left but y'all know Aug did too right? Most of you are being completely fair but some of you are tryna make excuses bc its Aug, but hey. Girl, I treat y'all like my besties so if you disagree that's perfectly fine, I wanna see where you guys are coming from fr fr so lmk.

ANYWAY, besides that I'm so happy y'all are liking the book! I love you guys forever and ever.

Enjoy.

"Yeah, Holly." Kali sighed heavily as she sat her phone up in the kitchen. "Nothing, I'm just making a protein shake, I'm about to go run."

"Aw look at you! I swear, we have to go running together. Get your speed up."

"Yeah, that'll be fine. Hey, where's Justin?"

"In the kitchen working for me, as he should be." Holly teased. "Just kidding, he's making us some food."

"Oh see now I have to come up there." Kali giggled.

"Speaking of, guess who we saw?" Holly gushed as Justin came into the camera with her.

"Who?" Alonzo asked, coming into the kitchen. "Hey baby." He greeted, kissing her temple, standing behind her with his arms around her waist.

"Hey." Kali smiled. "Who auntie?"

"Demitrius and Lorenzo!" Holly squealed.

Kali's face dropped as did Alonzo's. Alonzo looked down at Kali who's face was now blank. "Oh, good for you guys."

"Yeah, how are they?" Alonzo asked. Kali rubbed his hands nervously, hoping for a good answer.

"Lorenzo is perfectly fine, but D is... he's coping. He's so different now, meaner." Holly frowned. "But they miss you guys."

"Yeah, well." Kali chuckled bitterly. "I have to go." She muttered, hanging up abruptly.

"Kali-"

"You coming with me or no?" Kali asked, shaking her drink. "It won't be long, just wanted some air."

Alonzo stared down at her for a moment, trying to read her emotions. "Yeah, let me change."

"Okay." Kali smiled and walked out of the kitchen and into the living room. "Hurry, don't take all day."

"Girl hush, I got this." Alonzo said, waving her off before running up their stairs.

"Leo what did I tell you about coming in unannounced?" Kali asked, not looking up from her phone.

"What? How did you know it was me?" Leo huffed and shut the front door.

"How heavy your steps are, not that hard." Kali chuckled and stood up properly, turning around. "Me and Zo are going on a quick run, you know the drill. You can do as you please but you do not open that door unless we say so. Me, Zo, and Tony have a key, don't be dumb."
