One month later ...

Kai

This has been the longest 30 days of my life. I go to sleep every night and pray to God that when I wake up the next day everything would be a dream, but unfortunately when I wake up every morning the events that happened a month ago are very much real and they are very much my reality.

I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that my best friend, my sister, was gone. Of us four KaNari was the mother, she was the one we went to for all the answers. The one we all leaned on.

The ones who took her life paid for it with their own, but that still didn't make it hurt any less. I opened myself up to Naeem and in return it caused me much heartbreak. It's crazy how you could be sleeping with the devil and not even know it. But I vowed to never let that happen again.

You finally up ?

I turned around and looked at him and then sat up in the bed.

Yea, I've actually been up for a while, I was just laying here thinking.

He walked further into the room and came to sit on the bed next to me.

East, will this pain ever ease up?

I won't even lie to you, it won't but with each day you just learn to deal with it. It's a chip on my shoulder knowing my little cousin lost her life because a nigga was trying to get back at me. I'll never be ok with that.

Don't blame yourself, you didn't know that this would be the outcome of your past actions.

Capo keep telling me the same thing , but how can I not blame myself? She's dead because of me.

It's good that you and Capo are speaking.

Yea, at first I was avoiding him because I couldn't bare to look him in his eyes. He ended up having Rich reach out to me and we had a sit down, he let me know that I was his brother, his family and that we'd forever be tied in through our love for Nari.

Where do we go from here?

We gotta keep living our life Ma, I'm back on top of my business and I need you to do the same.

I know, I need to get in touch with my realtor and find a new place. I can't live in that apartment building anymore.

For the last month me and East have been staying at Nana Sheila's in Manhattan. After Nari's funeral she moved out of town with Nari's mom Lauren.

Kai I know we dealing with a lot right now, but I meant what I said, and I need to know that you ready to rock with me.

I am and you know that I am. Forever us remember?

Forever us! I wanna show you something.

What ?

Hold on let me go get my phone.

I waited for East to go get his phone and once he did he came back into the room and sat in the same spot as before.

Here he said handing me his phone, Press play.

I did as he told me and I was in complete Aw. There was a video of a beautiful home and it was absolutely gorgeous.

Who's house is this ?
