(Caller id Yeonjun)
Laila picked up the phone excited to answer
"Hey babe" laila said
"Hey, how are you doing" Yeonjun said not so excited
"Are you feeling okay you sound sick." Laila said
"Yea I'm fine. Just feeling a bit tired" Yeonjun said
"Oh okay. Well I can't wait to see you when you get back." Laila said
"Yea about that. I don't think I can come back yet. My mom hasn't fully healed yet." Yeonjun's said
"W-what. Your not coming back. So when are you coming." Laila said nervously
"I'm not sure" Yeonjun said
"Oh." Laila said as she got quiet not knowing what to say, and feeling an ache in her heart
"Well I have to go now. Okay bye. Take care." Laila said as she hung up the phone
Sitting in her car she had tears rolling down her face.
How long was she supposed to go without seeing him?
She missed him. She just wanted him to be here with her.

Meanwhile the new neighbors were finishing up there move in and taking the last bit of stuff inside.
"Awww man I'm dead tired." One of them said
"Me too" the other said stretching
"Have you seen the house across the street? They be having some hot chicks come and go. You think I can get one" one said
"Duude this isn't Chicago or Korea where the ladies line up to you." The other one said
The first one looked at him confused
"It's Beverly Hills. These girls be having their own lives. There to busy to think about other people. I bet they don't even know who you are." The other one said laughing
"Well that's even better" the first one said confident
——————-
Laila got home and opened the front door
When a glass bottle was thrown and broken on the floor
"Ahhhhhhhh" Laila yelled breathing heavily
She looked up and saw Joshua angry throwing stuff around and breaking them
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING CALM DOWN. WHY YOU SO PISSED" Laila said freaking out looking around the house
She walked up to the kitchen where he was stood and saw a note on the island
' I'm sorry to do this to you guys again. But I have to go. Maby one day I will be able to stay forever. I love you guys. Love Dad'
Laila looked up at Joshua and understood why he was so angry
But Laila felt nothing at all
She knew this would happen
"Hey look you need to calm down now." Laila said
"HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO CALM DOWN. HOW MANY TIMES IS HE GOING TO DO THIS. HE FREAKIN TOOK ALL THE MONEY FROM THE SAFE TOO. HE JUST COMES BACK EVERYTIME HE GOES BROKE." Joshua yelled punching the wall and throwing a plate off the table
Laila was freaking out now she didn't know how to calm her brother down
And also the fact her father took all the money from the safe
(It wasn't all their money. They have bank accounts. But Al the extra money they keep in the house for emergencies)
Laila then called Shabeela
She figured she can calm him down
"Hello" Shabeela picked up
"Can you come over." Laila said
"Sure. Why?" Shabeela asked curious
"Joshua's gone crazy." Laila said
"Crazy? What do you mean." Shabeela said
"Our father left again. And he's not taking it so well." Laila said
"Oh. Ok. I'll be there in 5 minutes." Shabeela said
Shabeela then came and walked
Joshua was still angry and breaking stuff
Laila was sat on the couch not knowing what to do
Shabeela looked around the house and how messy it was
Shabeea then looked at laila
"Go help him" laila moved her mouth but her voice didn't come out
"What do I do" Shabeela moved her mouth back lifting her arms
"I don't know" laila replied
"Neither do I" Shabeela said
Shabeela slowly walked up to Joshua not having any idea what to say to him
"Joshua" Shabeela said slowly as he turned around
"What are you doing her?" Joshua said
"I heard about your dad. How are you doing?" Shabeela asked him
"THAT FUCKING BASTARD-" Joshua began to yell again before Shabeela cut him off
"Hey, hey, look at me. Calm down. Calm down" Shabeela said grabbing Joshua face from both sides and looking into his eyes
"Whys re you beating yourself up about this? You don't need him. You guys were fine without him before." Shabeela said
"Yea but" Jsohua said
"You will be fine. Just calm down." Shabeela said
As she hugged him and he calmed down hugging her back
"OKAY IM HERE. SHOW ME THEM NEIGHBORS" Sana said walking in the house all excited
Shabeela and laila turned to look at her with no expressions
Sana froze at the scene when she looked around
Farwa walked in at that second
"Oh my gosh. Have you guys been robbed." Farwa said eyes popping out
Hajra and Afeefa also arrived and were in shock at the scene
"What happened?" Hajra said
"Are you guys okay" Afeefa said worried
"Yea. Joshua was throwing a tantrum because our dad left again." Laila said not caring about the dad a little bit
All the girls made an 'OH' face feeling awkward they walked in in the middle of the scene
"We should probably go then huh" Sana said
"No stay he's calm down now. He has to get over it anyways." Laila said
"Okay then let's help you clean up first." Hajra said
"Yea. It's a wreck in here" Afeefa said
Joshua went up stairs to calm down and think a bit
While all the girls started to clean up around the house
(1 hour later)
"Oooooooo you bought me cookies" Laila said to Sana who was the one that walked in with the box
"No don't touch those. There for the neighbors" Sana said
"You bought them cookies." Hajra said confused
"Duh how else was I supposed to see them close up. I have to give them fresh baked cookies." Sana said
"YOU BAKED THEM" Farwa said surprised
"No, but I had to make it seem like I did. That's why I put it in a plate." Sana said
"Oh wow. Your smart." Afeefa said
"I know." Sana said
"Okay so let's go take the cookies to them." Laila said
"Oh look there in the front yard. Let's go." Shabeela said
"Girl. You go control your boyfriend." Farwa said
"He's sleeping." Shabeela said rolling her eyes
"Okay then let's go." Laila said
They all headed out of the door.
