The tension inside of the Curry Household was thick as the entire DiVincenzo, Toscano-Anderson, Poole, Payton, Thompson, Hayes, Tatum, Green, and Curry family sat in the large living room.

The adults sat on one side of the room while the kids sat on the other side. Nervousness pulsed through the cousins like a second pulse as they avoiding looking at their parents/aunts/uncles.

Nobody knew what was about to unfold...all everyone knew was that things needed to be said, and that today would be the day where everything—and they mean everything—would be brought to light whether they liked it or not.

"I guess that we should start with the elephant in the room," Ayesha said, her gaze landing directly on Jelena and shifting over to Deuce. "Would anyone care to explain what's going on with this entire situation?"

Jelena shrunk further into her seat and shrugged as she pulled on her hoodie drawstrings. "Uhm...I've had a crush on Deuce for like, years, and uhh...along the road, he found out. He told me that he didn't see me like that, plus nothing would work out because of age."

"Tell the full truth, Lena," Adrian said, looking over at his twin sister. "Tell them how it got to this point."

Juan and Asia turned to look at their son in shock. "You knew??" They exclaimed.

"We all knew." Canon said, motioning to himself, Adrian, Landon, London, and Harmonie, who all nodded in confirmation.

"And you guys just...didn't think to tell us?" Serenity asked, shaking her head in disappointment.

London shrugged. "Not my monkey, not my circus."

"My name Bennet and I ain't in it." Harmonie said, holding her hands up.

Adrian shrugged. "I'm not giving her a reason to stop making me food."

"In our defense, we tried to tell her," Landon said. "She just don't listen."

Asia shook her head at her daughter and turned to Deuce who was sitting down on the couch between Amour and Jayson. His head was rest on Amour's shoulder as he watched all of this unfold.

It was safe to say that Deuce didn't want to talk about the situation between Jelena and himself. He thought that the more the situation got brought up, the worse it would be for the both of them, but mostly Jelena. This was embarrassing for her, and he had thought that he had humiliated her enough just by accidentally spazzing on her; they didn't need to add to it since the wound was still fresh.

"Deuce?" Asia said pointedly. "You knew and didn't tell us?"

Deuce shrugged. "I didn't want to break her trust or embarrass her. Plus, it wasn't my business to tell."

Juan stepped forward and sat down on the coffee table that was in front of Deuce so that he was closer to him. He set his arms on his legs and glared at Deuce. "So what is it that you did when you found out, Deuce?"

"Juan, back up." Amour said firmly.
Juan shook his head. "Nah, I'm good where I'm at."

"Juan, I swear, if you don't back up, I will take your ears and wrap them around your head." Amour says.
