Deja's pov 🦋

Two weeks later

     Nova and I were in her kitchen preparing food for those in need. I checked the oven to see if the cakes had finished baking.

I took it out, letting it cool, Ann did a mix the juice" so girls, how are you, everything going good y'all seem distant" she said, I told Anna everything he said, and she said she knew he always loved me and was sad that he lost his mother because she just imagine losing hers and that alone brought tears to her eyes.

"Yes mi good," I said, biting a piece of fry chicken, dis nice tasted like KFC chicken, nova is a bigger cook than mi so mi a learn from her.

"Nice, Deja Hunny start packing the food, Anna come on put uh foods class to use and do something" I chuckled lightly, and she sighed grabbing cover plates.

Her Mom walked out, "I called him several times and no answer he's at school he doesn't talk to anyone just stay to himself"Anna said, I feel really bad for him.

"Just give him some space, he needs this, Killian apologized to him and said he would give him anything he won't lack anything he would pay bills, his schooling, and any other thing, but he tell him fi leave n he no wah nothing fi do wid him"...

"Boy oh boy, so how him ago live him no have no money fi nothing," Anna said as we finished packing and ready to leave.

"I don't know I made lunch for him so I will ask Brandon to stop there to give it to him" she nodded, and we put everything in Brandon's car,

"So mummy weh you Tek mi fah, you have your cars you always a mek me drive you," he whines

"Yah mi personal chauffeur" she kissed his cheeks and mi n Anna laugh, going in the car.
