You Are.

11.

Everyone made their way to Violet and Troys house. Dior had fallen asleep on the ride so Devale put her in her room. Roy called him as he made his way out of the room.

Devale: what's up Roy?

Roy: i just sent you a link. Makayla got 15 years for drug possession.

Devale: what?!

Roy: yes she was high the whole damn time in court.

Devale: wow

Roy: yea her and her husband got sentenced, he got 20 though. apparently they got busted. she even had some on her when she was at the courthouse. i don't know how she got passed them. They were doing this all for your money

Devale: i figured it was something deeper than that. that's crazy. and she touched my fucking daughter. Like she lost all those privileges

Roy: i know but you won't have to worry about her anymore my guy

Devale: thank you bro

Roy: no problem man go enjoy your family

Devale: i am be cool

Roy: likewise brotha *hangs up*

Devale goes into the family room to join the family. He finds Crystal and hugs her. He couldn't lie, if he didn't have Crystal to keep him sane he would've lost it a long time ago. She's been his peace since they met.

Crystal: you okay?

Devale: yea, i just want to love on you

Tori: sir we were having a conversation

Devale: shut up T, can i love on my woman?

Tori: no actually

Devale: Ma! come get your daughter

Tori: snitch

Devale: actually come on i need to tell y'all something anyways.

...

Devale: when i was upstairs i got a call from Roy

Violet: what happened?

Devale: he said Makayla got 15 years for drug possession.

Troy: what?!

Devale: yea. her and her husband were using or selling or something i don't know but they're both locked up right now.

Cole: well ain't God good mm

Crystal: won't he do it!

Devale: i'm just glad we won't have to worry about her for a while

1 Hour Later

Tori: Bro i'm really happy for you. I'm glad you have Crystal, the smile and you and Sky's face tells me everything i need to know

Devale: thank you, that woman is literally my everything T. The way she loves Sky makes me love her even more

Tori: this is the happiest i've ever seen you

Devale: i can't help it sis

Tori: you think you'll get married again?

Devale: after my ex wife, i thought i'll never get married again. if i'm being honest now, i'd marry her in a heartbeat. but part of me is still scared.
