"Cause there'll be no sunlight,
if I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies,
if I lose you, baby"

I went back to work about 3 days ago, after Tk called Judd to pick me up from dads house and take me to work. The anxiety of leaving him all alone was enough to call him every 3 hours to check on him but eventually, he stopped answering and texting me telling me to leave him alone. I left him alone for a little bit longer and then called him.

"I swear I told you to leave me alone."

"Yes, you did but I just wanted to check on you. I have the right of being your sister to do that." Tk sighs into the phone and I can hear the moving of closet hangers around. I listen for a few more seconds before I catch him red-handed.

"Where are you going?" The hangers still and he stops all movement.

"Im going nowhere. Raya, is it necessary for us to still be on the phone? You heard my voice, so you can go now."

"I heard more than your voice. You're getting dressed. Tk should you be up and walking right now?" I can almost hear Tk roll his eye through the screen.

"If it makes you feel better I'm going out with Carlos."

I stay silent cause even though it does make me feel better I still worry.

"Im hanging up now Raya. Bye"

I groan and hang up on him so he doesn't get the satisfaction of hanging up on me.

I walk into the kitchen area to see the rest of my team all surrounding island.

"Guys, I think we have a problem." Mateo slams his hand on top of the espresso machine and then turns to us with panic filling his big wide eyes.

"It's not working, and now it's making this "Krrish" sound." He turns back around and shakes the machine. Desperately trying to get it to work.

Marjan leans her body against the refrigerator and watched Mateo beat the living shit out of the machine. "Ooh, dude, tell me you did not just break Cap's espresso maker. He had that custom-made in Italy. It's his prized possession."

"Think I don't know that?"

I snort and read over Pauls's shoulder at his current book read. "He loves that more than his own kids."

"And besides, I didn't break it. Paul did." Paul slams his book closed at lays it down on the island. I slide my arm over his shoulder and grab the book and flip it over to the back.

"Don't even try it, Probie. The thing was working fine when I used it." Paul reaches for his book but I grab it and turn away from him.

Mateo continues to defend his case by throwing Paul under the bus."And you probably packed the filter basket with extra fine grounds and ran it on a high temp, didn't you?"

"I enjoy a robust cup. I'm not gonna apologize for that." I scoff and open the book where Paul just was. He looks at me and rolls his eyes "Don't spoil it, Raya."

Probie is now full on swinging at the machine and jamming the cup into the spout. "How many times do I have to tell you? It puts a strain on it. Probably overheated, threw off the water conditioning system."

"This is why I've been saying we should just buy a coffee pot." Judd looks over to Mateo and Marjan and shakes his head.

"I second that" I throw my hand up from the book but don't take my brown eyes off the page.
