"Why are you making such a big deal about this?" Kai scoffed as she followed Carl into the hallway. "A big deal?" Carl repeated looking at the girl in shock. "A big fucking deal really Kai?"

"Why do you always twist things, Kai?" Carl shouted, his hands gesturing wildly.

"I'm not twisting anything, Carl. It was just fucking weed! You think I don't have my own shit to deal with?" Kai asked "What do you want from me Carl!" Kai shouted looking up at Carl as if he were crazy."

Kai laid her head on the car window a hood over her head. The girl was hungover to say the least. Her and Murphy managed to go down three bottles are 12 packs of beer. And now Kai was in a car hung over, car sick, cold, and annoyed as they made there way to wherever it was Kevin's real family was at.

"I'm not calling you Bart for the record." Kai mumbled rubbing her eyes tiredly. "I can't believe I'm about to meet my real life family." Kev started

"Didn't know I had any relatives. How am I supposed to greet them? Do we hug? Kiss on the cheek? I don't wanna get it wrong. "

"All of my family reunions start with my aunts blaming each other for who fucked yo the potato salad." Veronica muttered

"We don't even do family reunions all the milkovich family lives in that one house." Kai admitted

"Wow, look at all the birds. It's all so green. It's the land of my people." Kevin smiled looking around the open woods in front of him.

"Like one of those movies where the black folks die first." Veronica whispered Kai and Kev gave the woman a look. Finally they arrived at the place

"Bart!" A woman announced, she looked like a crack head "little Barty, Is that you."

"Oh, shit that me." Kev sighed "I'm barty." Kai got out the car and grabbed Amy while V got Gemma.

The woman smiled running towards Kev before wrapping her arms around him "aww." The woman laughed, "Look at you. Grown and healthy. Hey. You got all your molers." The woman smiled patting Kev on the shouters.

"Uh this is my wife Veronica." Kev introduced, "You can call me V." Veronica smiled while Kai held onto her sister tightly.  "You just like your brothers love the dark meat." The woman chuckled slapping Kev's stomach. Veronica raised her eyebrows in shock looking over at Kai who simply shrugged her shoulders. "must be in the blood."

"I am your aunt Ronnie. Sugar plum. Oh! Mm! And would you look at these little chocolate pies? And a not chocolate pie." Ronnie smiled looking over at Gemma and Amy before looking over at Kai.

"Let's take em to meat Uncle Travis. Trav! it's Bart and his beauty." Ronnie yelled "y'all better get inside before we burn up." Travis suggested

Carl and Freddie sat in the living room smoking as they watched tv. "Hey did she uh-she ever tell you what we argued about the day I came from military school." Carl suddenly asked, blowing out smoke a semi nervous look on her face.

"She hasn't told us anything, she hates talking about it." Freddie mumbled before looking up at the boy. "It wasn't the argument that fucked everything up." Carl said sadly as he fidgeted with his fingers, Freddie grabbed the remote and turned off the tv giving Carl his full attention,
