Adonis and Amara decided wanted some gummies for their traditional "sibling movie night", so while Aaliyah and Ciara were baking brownies, the two decided to buy some from the gas station down the road. They walked, sharing airpods, listening to music and laughing at jokes.

"You know mum isn't gonna exactly love her present right?" Amara laughs at her older brother while listening to him tell her about his plan for a birthday present for their mother.

"What do you mean? It's amazing" the 20-year-old laughs along with his sister.

"It's horrible D! mamá lo va a odiar!" Amara exclaims while still laughing.
Translation: "mum's going to hate it!"

"Nah she'll love it, don't worry, soy su hijo favorito" Adonis says, laughter dying down, as he opens the door for his sister to walk in.
Translation: "I am her favourite"

Amara also decides she wants a bottle of coca cola so she tells her brother she's going to get some drinks and walks off. 

Meanwhile Adonis goes to the candy isle to pick out some of their favourite sweets.

"Donni right?" Adonis hears from right next to him. He looks up to see ... an old friend.

"Back up Tane, I ain't on that shit no more" Adonis whispers, knowing why he's here.

"Watchu mean cuz? I ain't here for you" Tane tells him.

"Oh really?" Adonis asks, sarcastically.

"Yeah" Tane exclaims.

Adonis scoffs and decides to ignore him. 

"Ion got time for you right now" Adonis mumbles.

"You know, you're sister's looking fine as hell tonight, I might have to tap that" Tane pushes.

Adonis no longer has self control of his actions. He quickly turns and swings at the other 20-year-old. But Tane senses it coming. He avoids the punch and pulls out his knife. He goes to stab Adonis causing a scene in the gas station. Adonis avoids the knife but decides to make a stupid decision, and grab the knife off him. Somehow, Tane runs into the blade, causing Adonis to stab him in the abdomen.

From the drink isle, Amara hears the commotion. She runs to the candy isle, having an off feeling about right now. She runs in just as Tane falls. She looks up to see her older brother breathing heavily. The shop keeper also runs in to see the damage caused, he runs off, shouting he's calling the police. 

"Oh my God" Amara lets out a shaky breath, moving her hand to her mouth in shock.

"Shit. Shit shit shit shit shit." Adonis pants, "Amara, you gotta run. You can't be here no more." Adonis tells her. He moves and grabs her shoulders, making her look up at him with tears in her eyes.

This cannot be happening right now.
Amara thinks

"Mara! Run!" Her brother shouts her as she slowly starts moving to the door, "Go!" Her brother shouts again.

Amara runs. She doesn't know where but she runs. She stops for a second, seeing a familiar house. The sound of police sirens can be heard, making it's way closer to her. She runs to the door, banging on it, begging for it to be opened. A minute later the light inside is turned on and the door is flung open by a startled Naomi Chang. 

"Mrs. Chang, hi, I'm so sorry to burst in like this, I just-" Amara cuts herself off, sobbing, as the reality of that night sink in.

"Oh honey, it's okay, come in, Malakai's right upstairs in his room" Naomi tells her.

"Thank you" Amara tells her, making her way to her boyfriends room.

Amara bursts into her boyfriends room, seeking support as she continues to cry, but the scene she walks into, doesn't exactly help her situation.

"AMARA!" Malakai shouts in surprise, quickly stumbling off the bed, trying to get dressed.

"Oh my God" Amara lets out as she looks between her boyfriend and best friend. Well, now Ex-boyfriend and ex-best friend.

"OH MY GOD!" She shouts as she turns to leave.

"AMARA WAIT!" Maia, Amara's now ex-best friend, shouts after her.

Mrs. Chang walks out of the kitchen, startled again by the scene in front of her.

"Guess I can't stay for much longer, sorry Mrs. Chang" Amara sobs as she turns to leave the door.

She runs out, onto the streets, hearing her now, ex-boyfriend's mother, lecturing her son. She runs home as fast as she can, still sobbing.

As she arrives home, the first thing she notices is her eldest sister comforting her older sister as she cries, listening to the police officer at their front door. She walks up, anxious as this might be about her brother.

"Amara" Aaliyah lets out, as she sees her youngest sibling walk up to the scene.

"Amara Carter?" The police officer asks.

"Yes?" Amara answers, breath still shaky.

"I'm sorry to tell you this, Amara, but both your parents have been in a car accident. There were no survivors." The police officer gently tells her.

Amara zones out completely. The faint sound of the police officer's radio going off. Amara begins to sob. The events of tonight becoming overwhelming. She sobs harder and harder, making it difficult for her to breathe, the last thing she remembers is the feeling of her eldest sister holding both Amara and Ciara.

"Mum please don't make us do this" Tyrell complains, once again.

"I don't know what else to do okay? You've been distant for months Tyrell and now, I find out that you've been skipping school everyday?" Jasmine Haris, Tyrell's mother, cries, "My decision is final. Khalil has a place in New Zealand and we are moving in with him" She sighs, leaving the living room to pack the rest of her things.

"Congrats dumbass, you've officially pushed mum to her breaking point" Malik rolls his eyes at his younger brother before leaving Tyrell alone with his thoughts.

Tyrell sighs heavily in anger before finally obliging to his mother's requests. He packs his bags in anger, slightly refusing to accept the fact that his family is now moving 11 398 miles away from his hometown, while he ignores his eldest brother's, Khalil, call for the 100th time now.
