Charmaine: you gone call your sister?

Oliver:( nods) yeah, if she answers. We ain't talked in years

Charmaine:just take it easy and don't let her piss you off

Oliver: okay (picking up his phone calling Ariana )

Ariana:(answers ) hello

Oliver:(clears throat) um wassup, it's ollie

Ariana: I saw, what's up ?

Oliver: dad called you?

Ariana: no, why?

Oliver:(sighs and looks at Charmaine ) I can't do this

Ariana: ollie what's wrong ?

Charmaine:(walks over and starts patting his back) you gotta tell her baby

Oliver:(tearing up, voice starts cracking) mama passed yesterday evening

Ariana: w-what? That can't be true, I talked to her and daddy yesterday morning

Oliver: it's true Ari (crying) dad called me around 5 yesterday and said the corners were on their way and that she passed at home

Ariana: how? What happened to her?(crying)

Oliver: he said she was complaining of a bad headache and decided to go take a nap and dad checked on her a hour later and she wasn't breathing

Ariana: omg no!(breaking down)

Oliver pov: I couldn't take hearing my sister screaming. I had to walk away. Man this shit is tough, you never really understand the feeling of losing someone until it's someone you're extremely close with.

Charmaine: picks up the phone) Ariana they're still gonna start doing the arrangements tomorrow. If you could get back in time good, if not just let them know

Ariana: ok, tell him I'll call him back later

Charmaine: okay

(They hang up)

Charmaine:(walks into the living room and sits next to Oliver rubbing his back) let it out baby, I know it's tough.

Oliver: I can't do this man (crying) Ari just started screaming and last night dad was throwing stuff and I can't be strong for everybody

Charmaine:(lifts his chin up and wipes his tears ) you don't have to be strong baby. It may feel like it but I promise you, you don't. Y'all are hurting the only thing you can do is just be there when they need you

Oliver:(sighs) don't even know what imma do with out my mama , shit is so crazy

Charmaine: nods) we never realize how much we'll miss them until they're actually gone. But it's gone be okay (stands up) you know I'm here for you baby

Oliver: thank you bae(stands up and hugs her)

Charmaine: you're welcome (kisses him) now you need to go get some rest, I'll be upstairs in a minute

Oliver: I need to go smoke

Charmaine: okay, well imma get these groceries put up then I'm heading to bed

Oliver: alright, I'll be up soon

Charmaine: okay (goes back into the kitchen)

Charmaine pov: I finished putting the groceries up and then I went upstairs and checked on the kids. The twins were sleep and Chloe and Andrea were playing with Josiah. I went in the room and took a nice hot shower and then put on my night gown once I got out. I felt drained for some odd reason. After about 10 minutes Oliver came in. I could tell he was high. He went and took a shower and then came to bed afterwards.

Oliver: why you not sleep?

Charmaine: was waiting for you

Oliver: wraps his arm around her waist and pulls her close) I love you

Charmaine: I love you too baby
