"I could've helped her" Karter said wiping the tears that were coming down.
"I should've done something, I could've done something" Karter said as Ayla hugged him crying on his shoulder
"I- I cant do this shit" Karter said covering his eyes as his tears got heavy
"This shit hurt so fucking bad" Karter said as Ayla hugged him tighter.
"I could've helped her. I heard the gunshot, instead I stood there all fucking shocked."
"Dont blame yourself. It isn't your fault, it's the person who killed her fault." Ayla said wiping her face
"Yooo!" D'mir yelled walking through the door
His face scrunched up in confusion seeing his parents and his two brothers crying.
"What we crying about?" D'mir asked placing the bags he had in his hands on the counter
"Yall weird, crying for nothing. Is this an Family activity?" D'mir said and nobody answered
"Yea, anyways. Where Lani at? I bought something for her." D'mir asked staring around and no one answered him.
Karter got up and left out the living room.
"Bro, what is going on" D'mir said and Ayla sighed
She patted the spot on the couch where Karter was sitting, D'mir slowly walked over sitting down next to her
"Mir.. Lani.. Lani died.." The words made Ayla heart crush, she still couldn't believe it was true
"Ma.. you cant play like that.." D'mir said, he looked at D'sir and D'arius
"She playing?" D'mir asked and they kept quiet
"She might just be at Ricky house or something" D'mir said not wanting to believe his sister was dead.
"Imma go get her from Ricky's house cause that's where she is." D'mir said standing up to leave out the door again
"Mir" Ayla stood up also wiping her face
"D'mir your sister is dead.." Karter said and D'mir looked at him
"Yall don't know that, stop saying that" D'mir said completely in denial
"It was on the news Mir, its everywhere. Two teens brutally killed." D'sir said
"Two teens could be anybody." D'mir said
"It was Lani and Zee" D'sir said, D'mir could feel his face getting hot and his cheeks being wet but the unknown tears he let down.
Crying from the afternoon to the night was all they were doing, Especially when the cops called Ayla so her and Karter could identify D'lanis body.
The thought of Ayla seeing her child dead, lifeless, alone, and cold made her heart crush into many more peices then before.
As for the boys they all stayed in their room. Alone.
Karter's been laying on the couch since the afternoon, letting the tears stream down his face.
"Karter.." Ayla softly shook him
"Karter.." Ayla shook him again
"Yea" Karter responded with a sniff with his back facing towards her not wanting to see him crying
"Come get in the bed, please." Ayla said not wanting to sleep by herself.
"I cant."
"Please?" Ayla asked feeling her eyes get teary
"Leave me alone." Karter responded wiping the tears that started to fall once more
Ayla sighed, climbing over him to lay down next to him with her face facing his
"I'm sorry.." Karter said in a whisper tone and Ayla wiped his tears with her thumb

"Ricky someone is knocking. " Aiko said walking into Ricky's room.
He didn't respond, he saw it. He saw it on TV, he saw it on Instagram, he saw it from the text messages he got from her family. He saw it.
"Ricky someone is knocking!" Aiko said louder
"Aiko, I dont give a fuck." Ricky said huffing
"What is your problem?" Aiko asked and Ricky sucked his teeth
"I dont wanna talk right now. " Ricky said wiping his eyes
"Ricardo!" Aiko said and Ricky sucked his teeth
"Aiko, can you just leave me alone." Ricky said feeling more tears fall down
"Oh my god! I should've went with Dominic!" Aiko huffed slamming Ricky's room door making Moani wake up crying
"Do too fucking much." Ricky huffed.
Ricky groaned stuffing his head in his pillow hearing her cry louder
"Stop crying, please" Ricky whispered to himself
Ricky lifted his head up and grabbed the pacifier next to him putting it in her mouth making her quiet down.
